MSE Definition Updates set to High Priority
by Guest sdpetersd- 0 replies
- 114 views
I have been using MSE for a couple of months and am very happy with how it works. But, my concern is that currently MSE definition updates are listed under "Software, Optional" so the updates do not get installed when other High Priority updates are. If a user has installed MSE, is there a reason why the Definition Updates are not listed under "High Priority"?? Continue reading...

A rootkit virus disabled my windows firewall. I have installed MS Security Essentials and run the security check from MS and now my computer looks like it is clean. Problem is I don't have a firewall anymore. I have tried the 3 ways to turn it on that MS suggests, but it looks like the firewall is missing in action. Any ideas? Continue reading...

Is Reg Zooka the best way to clean my computer?
by Guest Sheridan Vickers- 0 replies
- 145 views
Is Reg Zooka the best way to clean my computer. Registry Mechanic keeps popping up on my computer and telling me I have hundreds of warnings and errors. I then got a phone call from these people claiming to be microsoft (but they were not) and told me that they keep getting feedback from my computer that it is in need of urgent attention. When they got me to look in event viewer there were 9,000 odd critical warnings but mostly errors and warnings. I want to run a free download of Reg Zooka but I do have microsoft security essentials and Macafee security scan plus running and protecting my computer and they both seem happy with my computer! What do you suggest? Con…

by Guest Phil Kemp- 0 replies
- 121 views
I'm working on a clean install of windows 7 x64 Ultimate. When I try to start the WIA service (either auto, or manual, or via an application such as Adobe PS CS5), I get the following error. Windows could not start the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly. I've also seen it generate a windows 7 alert and send the data to MS. I've searched the web and not found anything about this. Any pointers would be most helpful. TIA... PK Continue reading...

Home Users Program
by Guest Engineer_1- 0 replies
- 132 views
I began experiencing problems with my Microsoft Word, so I decided to un-install all of Microsoft Office 2010 (that I obtained from the Home Users Program). Now I want to download another seat of Office 2010 from the home users program and simply re-install to fix this. However, the home users program will not let me do this because it says I have exceeded my order amount. I only own two other computers that I have downloaded Microsoft Office 2010 to from the home users program. Why can't I re-download my 3rd seat of Office 2010 from the home users program? Continue reading...

Why has "no threats found during this scan" stopped showing.
by Guest pauley m- 0 replies
- 114 views
For some time now when I do a FULL SCAN, the message "no threats found during this scan" no longer appears on the main scan window when the scan is completed. Can anyone tel me why? It does appear when I do a QUICK SCAN. The scan window is NOT minimized during the scan. Does this mean my MSE program is not running correctly? I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I have to click on History to see if any viruses have been found. I need a specific solution to this problem. Thank you very much. Pauley Continue reading...

Created windows 7 image with expired sysprep rearm count.
by Guest mattstarczak- 0 replies
- 198 views
It seemed like a good idea at the time. I work in several schools that all required much the same programs on their image, based around a windows 7 enterprise iso. All legal. Using MDt2010 I built an image in vmserver, and sucked it back using the litetouch.vbs with a sysprep and capture task sequence. I then took the captured .wim to two schools, deployed it to a virtual machine in each school, made site appropriate changes and ran litetouch.vbs again with the same task sequence. I then started happily deploying the image and realised after getting to the magic 25 that my KMS server was stuck on one. A reasonable bit of googling lead me to the horrible truth. It app…

By Paul Thurrott With the understanding that this is a single-source rumor whose validity I can’t corroborate, I’d like to present some Windows Phone information that I know will be of interest to enthusiasts: While Microsoft, Nokia, and AT&T have all stressed that the Nokia Lumia 900 is "exclusive" to AT&T, other carriers will be able to sell the device 45 days after AT&T’s launch date of March 18.

How to completely remove the Trojan:DOS/Alureon.E malware?
by Guest FinanceWizard- 0 replies
- 171 views
I have tried several removal tools including MSE and MS Safety Scanner, TDSSKILL, Super Antispyware and Malwarebytes. Some do not detect the trojan and the ones that do can not completely extract it. MSE finds it on every boot up but can not completely remove it. Trojan:DOS/Alureon.E malware is the name of the malware. Any suggestions on how to completely get to this thing to remove it? I understand that it has created a new partition where it resides and the removal efforts are blocked by a software restriction policy. Security Essentials encountered the following error: Error code 0x80070032. The request is not supported. Category: Trojan Description: This…
