John:
Fortunately, I don't have Windows 7 here yet, although I'm afraid that
someday it will be inevitable, unless I go to a Mac which I've been very
tempted to do at times.
Anyway, I have Windows XP here, and simply can't seem to find the Semantik
anti-virus icon on the system tray.
Perhaps there's another way to get to things so I can disable the anti-virus
software when contesting with the CW interface, but I just haven't found it
yet.

If you have the misfortune of running windows 7 it may not be in the system
tray until you put it there in taskbar and start menu options. I'd give more
detailed info but the computer I was working with windows 7 on now refuses
to charge the battery and has me so frustrated I'm writing it off as a 100%
complete loss, I don't see why people like it.
