Earlier I had to enter a password on waking up my Windows 7-based computer from sleep. But since the past few days I have noticed that I am not prompted for a password. Why is it so?

You should check this:

Just head into Power Options in Control Panel, then click the “Require a password on wakeup” on the left-hand side. Then click the “Change settings that are currently unavailable”. Then you can click the “require a password” radio button, and make sure to Save your changes.

I installed Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on my Windows Vista laptop recently (about a week ago). It checked my PC if it able to run Windows 7. Anyway I got an answer and now I DO NEED to remove upgrade advisor. I looked for a folder in Start menu where there could have been an option to remove the software (but there was no such folder). I also checked Add or Remove Programs. There was no entry for Upgrade Advisor in Programs or Updates as well. How can I remove it?
