Re: Start up programs blocked

I have the same experience as you. When first installed, the popup showed
up for a while, then stopped. Nothing has changed except WU and now I am
getting the popup again. If it was just on startup, it would be annoying,
but it pops up periodically the whole time I am logged on, maybe once every
3-4 hours. Very annoying.
