When I installed Thunderbird, a windows backup program got in also and I cannot remove it. It puts a dialog box on my screen that I cannot get rid of. Thanks

A dialog box pops up on my screen after a restart that says " Reminder, Activate Windows Backup Now!" If I click the "x" in the upper right, then another larger dialog box pops up and locks the screen. I have run several anti-virus programs and also uninstalled Thunderbird, Firefox and another program that I thought might be it, and no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Google for Windows PC Backup Wizard and you'll find lots of suggestions for removing it. Seems to me to be quite a tenacious nuisance. :-(

You need to be more careful where you download Thunderbird from. The official site does not bundle any third party software.
