After a recent update I now have a pop up window everytime Windows XP Pro starts up. It says "Run As" and I have to choose either to run as an administrator or my current user and choose protection or not. I see this complaint all
over doing searches but no answers as to what causes it or why it started, or how to stop it. Any help greatly apreciated.
The only anti-virus program is McAfee and Superantispyware.

Hi den942 ,

Does it only happen when you Log On ?

Was this after a Windows update or otherwise ?

And what SP are you running ?

It was after a Superantispyware update and I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 with all updates.

Do you use a download manager of any kind ?

Does this only happen when you select the SAS shortcut ?
