    This morning, I turned on my Sony FZ4000 like every other morning. I was met with a barrage of allow or deny access messages. I'm not smart, so I didn't know which way to go. I'm not even sure what program was asking the question. Could have been the Kaspersky internet security I installed yesterday. Well, I started at first denying, then allowing. This went on for way too many clicks, and I thought better of continuing. I could not get rid of the box. It was asking about registry keys. Something about trying to delete. At this point I shut the pc down. It would no longer boot up properly. I managed to boot up in safe mode. I did a system restore back to yesterday. It worked and it works fine now.

    System restore did it's job. Now if I could only figure out what was actually happening. :eek:

    it might have been asking if it should allow changes made to your system by other programs.

    I think it was more than that. I allowed or denied 20 or more entries before I decided that this can't be good. Wanting access to delete registry items is normal? Don't know, but I reinstalled Kaspersky and everything is fine.
