-=PCTechTalk=- Re: weird

Milady, I have spybot and when I went to mode, advanced I got a message that 
I could cause serious damage to my system if I didn't know what I was doing 
and did I really want to go to advanced mode.  Being very "chicken" I said 
no and backed off.  I thought teatimer sounded like a nice option that I 
would like to enable but was scared to go there.  Did you get that message? 
Or does my computer just know I need warnings???:-)
