[QUOTE="Brahman, post: 1050249, member: 11847"] Yes, it's the only way apart from reinstalling. SAC is half backed product which is still in a nascent stage of its development, so don't waste your time on it. It's not worth it. The switching off can be triggered by installation of any kind of software, it's highly unpredictable. I have seen it getting switched off by installation of revo uninstaller pro, which is a digitally signed legitimate software. You can stop the auto triggering of SAC by manually changing it from "evaluation" mode to "on" state after resetting/reinstall, before installing any 3rd party software. But keep in mind that SAC will prevent installation of software it doesn't like and there is no option to add an "exception" to it. So to me Smart App Control is anything but smart. [/QUOTE]
