After running a complete Scan, I looked at the History and saw that, under "Action Taken" there were several instances where a Trojan had been removed. However there appears to have been 2 instances where the Trojan was "Allowed". Can you please tell me how I Remove these. (I have double-clicked, right-clicked and read the screen from top to bottom, but I can't find anything that enables me to Remove them.) Thank you. Continue reading...

Hello, I am just wondering, does MSE (or another antivirus/antimalware program such as Malwarebytes) require a file to be scanned manually (eg. when downloaded from the internet) serveral times before a potiential detection-- or to rephrase it, it is necessary to scan an unnknown or downloaded file serveral times continually with the same antivirus (MSE in this case) before opening it, or does the initial scan already find all potiential threats/all there is to be found. For example, I used to only perform once quick scans once a day with MSE, but now, I am (somewhat paranoidly), doing an update check, then quick scanning once, and performing it again a few seconds aft…

I created an unattended installation of Windows 7 that runs great off a DVD. We have quite a few computers that only have CD drives so I'm trying to get a network install to work. I took the install.wim file from the DVD and put in on our server leaving the rest of the files (~350mb) to burn on a CD. I used Windows System Image Manager to change the autounattend file InstallFrom Path to \\server\program\install.wim and added the credentials for our server. I also enabled the network for PE. The install gets to the part where it would copy windows files and says 0%...then it errors out. The error is: The partition selected for installation (disk 0 partition 1) does not me…

I first posted this question a few days ago when I received warning that my computer was potentially unprotected despite having scanned only a few days previously. I received a couple of replies & followed the advice given re the action to be taken in Ccleaner etc. Despite doing this the problem has just re-occurred & I honestly don't know what to do in order to sort this out. Can anybody help me ......PLEASE ???? Continue reading...

This problem seems to occur at least twice a day. When I try to go to a website it re-directs me to some random website, usually some type of search website or Yellowpages. I've scanned using AVG, Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes, and Microsoft Security Essentials (which I've scanned multiple times with), and they have not come up with anything. I have tried multiple browsers and they do the same thing. I have tried putting my computer in SafeMode and it happened there also. Any help would be great. Continue reading...

I recently had my laptop freeze and had to focibly restart it via the power button. After that, when i tryed to login on skype it sent me to a link in mozzilla firefox about index fiels or soemthing, I can't remember. I tryed opening IE but the window just briefly appears then immediately closes automatically. I tryed goign into windows features, and IE8 is already unticked, then when I tick it nothing happens, then when I untick it it comes up with that warning which I then click yes on, then nothing happens again. After this I tryed installing the latest version of IE, but when it finished installing it offered me to restart now or later, to which I clicked now. My comp…

By Paul Thurrott While some are concerned about limitations in Windows 8’s new Metro environment, Microsoft has actually added numerous task management improvements in the Consumer Preview. So it’s likely that almost anyone can be efficient with the new OS, once they’ve learned the ropes. Continue reading...

I'm trying to install Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 and the installation bar loads all the way up to what looks to be %100 and then it goes backwards to halfway. Soon after that the Installation screen says the installation encountered an error. It doesn't give an error code or anything. Then it says to reboot your computer to complete setup. Please I need help. Continue reading...

Hi. I installed Windows 7 on a RAID0 array (bios set to RAID mode). Everything works great. Now I have installed a cheap (Antec Easy SATA) little hot swappable 5.25" hard drive bay in the front of my computer and connected it to one of my spare SATA ports on my motherboard (Asus P67 Sabertooth rev. 3). It reads drives fine as long as I plug one in before I actually boot my system. If the system is already booted in to Windows 7, the drive is not detected (ie "hot swapped/hot installed"). I'm assuming this is because I installed Windows 7 in RAID mode instead of AHCI mode and the AHCI drivers were therefore never installed. What I would like to know is this:If I enable…

We were heading online to download the latest versions of the OPK's so that we had what was available and could refresh images from the ground up. Noticed this new tool and decided to give it a try. It appears that the MSE OPK released 3/30/2011 is not compatible with this Tool. It allows us to browse for the tool location which we select as the root folder of the drive the image was burned to. Then after reading for a while the language selection is shown. We select en-US as needed and click the Finish button. At that point we get an error message "The Locale you have selected is not included on the media you have selected en-US. Then we click OK and get returned t…

By Paul Thurrott With September 2011’s Windows 8 Developer Preview, only clean installs of the OS were supported. But with the advent of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, eager enthusiasts can now choose an in-place upgrade install as well. Continue reading...

Noting that Microsoft has restored the folder to the Title Bar in Windows Explorer (in Win8 CP), I am left to wonder: Will Microsoft consider restoring the page title to the Internet Explorer title bar as well? This is especially pertinent for those of us who don't use Tabbed browsing, because without a tab the page title appears nowhere at all! There have been 3rd party applications that strive to put the title back up there, and some folks have even reported that they work on the IE10 in the Windows 8 CP, but I haven't been able to get a title up there in the Windows 8 x64 CP myself (though the same tricks DID work back in the IE10 that came with the Windows 8 DP). …
