Let me ask either of you something that is just indirectly related. When I have received one or more (probably more) of these error messages, all the icons on my task bar (am I correct in this identification?) disappear, except that usually my IM and Gator icons remain. Does this mean these things have been disabled, or what do they disappear? I can continue with this status but am not very comfortable. If I install the anti virus protector (assuming that I can even pull it up since mostly I am not able to pull up sites), will it go back and correct whatever is causing these error messages? Thanks.
