I don't agree with what you want to do but if you insist it can easily be

done with WinPatrol.

Leave your antivirus on and buy more RAM. It'll be cheaper in the long

run.

Phone *** has been outsourced to India due to heavy call volume. The problem

with that is even with perfect hearing you can't understand a word.

Thanks for the help, Chris! To (some of) the others, well...

By the way... 10 years, no virus (with my antivirus programs disabled).

That's like saying "10 years, never got hurt in a car accident (with

my seatbelt never used."

In both cases, consider yourself lucky. Sometimes you get away with

not using protection, sometimes you don't. Not protecting yourself

when it's free and easy to do is an extremely imprudent thing to do.

But, in both cases, it's your choice. Good luck.
