I was having some trouble with unwanted adverts, and so I downloaded a popular anti-malware tool – AdwCleaner – and ran it. It detected a few issues, deleted them and then asked for a reboot.

When I oked that, my machine rebooted, and then, as the default programs loaded (including JbidWatcher) the single snipe that I had stored fired. There was actually 4-5 hours to go, and my snipe was set to 7 seconds, but nevertheless it fired 4+ hours early.

I wonder why?

incidentally, I got the item, and there has been no repetition – so it’s not a bug – just an odd glitch
