Thanks for the rapid response, changed password. It is getting to the point that nothing is safe in cyberspace.

Well I have upgraded to V7.0.302.26 system so far looks fine, have not used IDM as yet, so that will be the big test, but so far so good. Thanks for all the advice people, much appreciated.

Thanks for the responses. Just a query on V7 are there any reported problems with it, as I am a firm believer in the old adage, "if it aint broke, don't fix it", and V4 is working ok for me. Having said that, the problem I am having with IDM is apparently attributed to Eset, so maybe the problem will disappear with an installation of V7. Apparently, at least according to reviews it is a bit of a system hog, not sure what you guys think of it in this regard. I suppose I can install it and if it all goes pear shaped, revert back to what I am using now. Thoughts and suggestions welcomed..

That is the point there was nothing wrong that needed attention. I rang support, somewhere in Australia and the guy I spoke to said it was a known fault with V5 and it would be fixed in the next update, this was a couple of years ago now. The message was like a popup, it happened all the time when I had the computer up and running, totally annoying. I gather people here would remember the problem if they had V5, the tech I spoke to said it was quite a problem with V5 and just to be patient or downgrade and re-install V4 which is what I did.

Yeah, I was looking at that option, I used to have V5 I think it was and kept getting these damn messages saying that it Eset required attention, which I was not sure whether or not that issue had been fixed, so in the absence of any thing else when I got this computer, I elected to go back to V4 which I knew did not have this particular annoyance. I hope that issue has been fixed??

Thanks People, I can confirm that it is not enabled. Arakasi, I gather you are referring to adding Tonec Internet download manager to the exclusions listl. Yep I need assistance if that is ok, much appreciated.

Thanks people, so I am at a bit of a loss here, are you saying that I have probably got this function activated? I really don't know how to enable this feature, or for that matter what it refers to. Is it something to do with Eset, IDM or just a setting on the computer? Forgive my ignorance on this as it it new to me...

I am running Eset Internet security 4.2.71.2 and am currently having issues that supposedly are caused by Eset internet security, at least according to Tonec!! What is happening is that my downloads get to around 90% and stop, and according to Tonec this is a recognised common problem caused by Eset. Have any others here struck this problem and if so, is there any way around it. They suggest I disable Eset when downloading, I don't think so!! on that suggestion. Any assistance much appreciated.
