For the past few months i have been getting messages across my laptop screen like:
"Realplayer has stopped working"
"Softsupport Container has stopped working" - actually the first messages if ever got
"Internet Explorer has stoped working"
"Microsoft Sync Feeds has stopped working"
There were more but not as often but i did want to list as much as possible incase someone notices something.
When i first got my m1530 these messages never came up. I had some problems with my McAfee to where I had to uninstall the program and have a tech issue me a new one to reinstall. this occurred twice. I believe these messages started shortly after the second install.
recently i deleted my McAfee, doing the complete uninstall with the McAfee uninstall program located on their website, and switched Avira, free edition.
I have stopped getting all of the messages except "Softsupport container" and "microsoft sync feeds"
Anyone have any guesses?
*I would really prefer not to format my system back to factory settings if possible

McAfee is the worst Antivirus I have ever come across.
It makes any computer perform at half its speed as it is a huge resource hog.
Added to that, it misses alot of Viruses......
uninstall that POS as soon as possible and install Avira Antivir which is a FREE antivirus but is one of the best of the pack -
Install Kaspersky my friend! Amazing stuff! Truely amazing!
