CounterSpy

Disable Alerts from Popping Up

SUMMARY: Prevent CounterSpy from nagging you with malware alerts - have it protect your machine silently.
 
CounterSpy may pop up alerts if one of several conditions exists:

* CounterSpy prevents your system configuration from being changed by a software package.

* CounterSpy allows your system configuration to be changed by a known, legitimate piece of software.

* CounterSpy allows your system configuration to be changed by software it thought was malware but you wished it to ignore.

Many users appreciate these alerts; this way they know CounterSpy is running. If you are configuring a machine for a new user, however, they might get confused by these alerts. Thus you may wish to disable them:

1. Double-click the CounterSpy icon in the Windows taskbar to open the software.

2. Select "View" - "Settings".

3. Click "Alerts".

4. Check or uncheck the various alerts as desired.

5. Click "Save" to save your settings.
