Hi, no it is installed to C:\bb and it isn't the virus protector. It is a Windows setting set to notify me when a program tries to make changes to my computer. I would like to keep it on that level. Too bad I couldn't make an exception for it. I don't know why BiaB does it and not others. RealBand doesn't show the emblem of the security logo on the lower right of the icon like BiaB does but it still gives me the same question do you want the following program to make changes to this computer. I wonder why other programs don't usually do this? It would seem like I can go to my firewall and put an exception in but I don't think I can. It isn't that much extra work to click it but I wish I didn't have to do it. Thank you both for your reply
