Hi Dave, There's a way to configure the program so that you don't see the pop-up alerts. I didn't know that when first using the program, but soon figured it out. Also, the program "learns" over time, so that when you see a pop-up and tell it how to handle the situation, subsequent alert windows for the same situation won't appear. At least that's how I understand it, and how it seems to be working.
