Live OneCare keeps trying to access floppy drive

Hello,

Something keeps trying to acces my floppy drive. I think it may be
LiveOne Care, as it happens particularly when I am delving into
OneCare's settings, trying to set up a back up etc. It also happens at
startup, after the boot up phase, but while programs are loading.

If it is OneCare, how can I verify and turn off this behaviour?

I don't think it is OneCare, but I also won't rule it out completely. Try
setting an exclusion to the A: drive in the virus and spyware settings.
Let us know if that resolves it.

Re: Live OneCare keeps trying to access floppy drive

Do you actually have a floppy drive or is something trying to access a non-existent A: drive? If you don't actually have one (and most people don't anymore) go into the BIOS and set foppy drive to None. That will cure all your ills. If you do have a real, live, floppy drive please forget I spoke and I will slink away into the fog. Curse you, Holmes, but there will be other times...
