    when specifying a known-safe file that MSE dislikes but I want MSE to ignore, do I always have to specify a full path to the file? (which I can do with the 'browse' button) ? if the same file with the same name appears in several different disks and/or directories. this is painful. Based on conventions commonly used by other windows programs (including other anti-virus) I would expect that just specifying the file name without a path would exclude every file by that name, regardless of location, but that doesn't seem to be the case. is there some syntax for specifying e.g. "where ever you find a file by this name" Continue reading...

    ESET detected infected file in operating memory rundll32.exe(940), (918), (908), (1121) etc., suspected variant of Ponmocup.AAtrojan, but could not clean. Malwarebytes could not detect it. I went to System Restore and it had been turned off thus removing all previous restore points. I uninstalled ESET and Malwarebytes and downloaded and installed MS Security Essentials but cannot start it. When I get into its profile via run, services.msc and set it to automatic. When I try to run it, it is disabled. I downloaded and ran MS Safety Scan but it did not detect anything, Q1. I think I recently clicked on the offer of a java update - would that be the prime suspect? Q2. My gue…

    I believe my account was hijacked. I received a message containing a link as a download of some video which were not there as promised. When I asked a specialist he said it is a hijacking tool and my email is monitored by someone else. I started to see the following dialogue box when I am navigating in my account: (The page at http://messenger.mwp.geo.msnmessenger.msn.com.akadns.net says: you can’t proxy across different primary domains). I ran your account recovery process, and changed my password, but the message is still there. What shall I do? Does this mean that I am really monitored by someone else?

    How does one go about configuring PAE on Windows 7. I have a machine with 4gig of memory and I'm running Windows 7 32 bit version on it. Right now 700mb is reserved for various system functions, I'd like to use all of the memory possible. I have used BCDEdit to force PAE on, but that didn't change the amount of available memory or the reserved amount. I also went through the BIOS and looked for anything that might inhibit PAE, maybe I don't know what I'm looking for. Any other tricks I can try? MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Continue reading...

    We are currently in the middle of transitioning from Office 2003 to Office 2010 and are using WebDAV mapped drives, utilising WebClient to replace the http paths with UNCs. Everything in Office 2003 and Office 2010 works correctly with the exception of Excel 03 with xls documents and Excel 10 with xlsx documents when trying to Save the documents back to the WebDAV drive. When trying to save xls documents from Excel 2003 returns the following message in a dialog box: "The file 'test.xls' may have been changed by another user since you last saved it. In that case, what do you want to do? [save a copy | Overwrite changes]" If …

I have a suspicion for some lic. problem, because as I know good the installer asked me for lic.agreement before and now not. R. Continue reading...

    I have installed Onenote 2010 on my desktop (XP) and my laptop (W7). On my desktop the convert ink to text button is present but does nothing. On my laptop, the ink to text button works, and there is an ink to math button - which is not present on my desktop. I ran across a forum that said you have to turn on tablet PC components for the ink to work in OneNote. Is this right and how do you do this in XP? I found how to do this in W7 and they were already on (my laptop has a touchscreen even though it is not a tablet). Continue reading...
