Antispam Disabled Message

I am running BD 2009, and Win XP, on a desktop and also on a laptop.


This morning when we logged on on the desktop, we got a message saying BD Antispam disabled (I don't know the exact wording as my wife was the one who saw the message). When I looked at the BD Online Security, it said that Antispam was not being monitored, so I switched it on. When I looked at the services, BD Threat Scanner was not running, so I started that - should I have to? Also Terminal Services was set to Manual start - I changed that to Automatic (as per an earlier post in the forum).


I am wondering if all this has to do with the fact that our Linksys died just before that, and had to be reset (just a long shot!). Could some guru tell me what is happening, and what I should have to do, and not do...? TIA


By the way, the laptop is off much of the time - do I really need the network stuff - and could this be causing my problems?

    Thanks, Alex! Will do!


    Do you have an answer to my last sentence - namely: ... the laptop is off much of the time - do I really need the network stuff?

    Alex, I installed BD IS 2010, but I kept messages like "Do you have sufficient system privileges to install xxx?" I think BDVEDISK was one, Trufos or Prufos... BD says it's up, but it won't start up the Firewall... Help!

    I used the Uninstall tool - and this problem went away! Thanks!
