AntiVirus causing Password Protection?
I have had xp home SP3 for a year. I have 2 User Accts, both Administrative
and neither account has ever ever been password protected. I never even had passwords for either account. All of the sudden, one of my accounts (mine) on log on requires password. I have run: control userpasswords2 and there are NO names. The box is checked users must enter name and passwords,, but again, there are no names listed. I've gone to Control Panel/User Accts and both say administrators which is fine,, but why would mine all of the sudden say password protected? Recently, I had to uninstall my Grisoft Avg 7.5 Anti Virus (which I've done several times as after it updates and restarts puter, the Avg. won't load)Each time I UNinstall the boxes are checked to 'remove user settings' and the reinstall was fine. Could this be at all related to my problems with username requiring password all of the sudden even though I've uninstalled several times,, the same way. On top of all this, I noticed yesterday my SZ (Stop zilla) wouldnt allow me to view sites such as Social Security , etc which I've always been able to click on just fine. So..if I UNinstall BOTH Avg 7.5 anti-virus AND SZ (anti spyware),,,then see if my log on account still requires password,,,,, then what? sorry so long,,,,any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I've read a few ideas about going into Safe Mode and tapping F8,etc and I' not at all comfortable with that. |

Thanks for you reply I know there's mention of that on their
website,,,but fortunatelly one particular Avg Rep has been helping with the unstill/reinstall issues. He called Friday but I misssed his call. I will follow up Monday with him,,,,I just wondered for now...if anyone thinks the Avg 7.5 problems could be causing the sudden password protection requirement issue,,, especially since I have had a password. I don't mind unstalling/reinstalling ,, I'm just 'nervous' about going to all that work to find out my log on name still needs a password.

AVG v7.5 hasn't had an engine update since 31 Aug-08 and hasn't had any
definitions updates since 31 Dec-08, so yes, the lack of a fully-functional & fully updated AV app could have played a role in this change.

AntiVirus causing Password Protection?
According to my Event Viewer, the 'warning' says: """ Windows Saved User (the
System Name Jason\my other account name) registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used hasnt been freed. The Registry will be unloaded when its no longer in use. Windows couldnt unload users profile because a program was referencing the users section of the registry. This locked the profile.""""" I have NO clue what all this means or what to do. Again, I have 2 administrative accts. Mine is the one that all of the sudden is password protected when I NEVER had a password! grrrrrrrrrr lol Even though the system name has ALWAYS been Jason,,,, the domaine is MSHome, the workstation is stand alone and no proxy. The System Information Adv. Error Log shows nothing since last month.

AntiVirus causing Password Protection?
I appreciate all the suggestions I have no clue what else to do
According to event viewer/warnings..ID 529 ..it says update to SP3,, which I already have and for error 680, Microsoft states 'no action'. My system properties/user profiles reflect both user profiles which is perfect ,,I'm just wondering if at some point, Avg 7.5 or even StopZilla 'corrupted' something??? - especially when I read the warning descriptions involving registry and memory???? Could the SP3 be corrupted as well?? "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: I'd doubt that an after-the-fact upgrade would help here. Not happy wrote: Ok...
