Hi,

I've removed avast, disabled the two services below but my HD LED still
blinks every second even when I have no programs runnning.

And from time to time explorer.exe seems to access just about every .eml
file in my Mail folder (>1GB of it) looking at some OECustomProperty!

<vent>I've had it with this crap! I want control of my computer and I'm
about to throw this out the window!</vent>
