I have been assaulted by this object and in the position where my Microsoft Security Essentials virus checker has been switched off and wont work in Xp unactivated. It doesnt allow met to uninstall MSE and I cant load a new edition because one is already running!!! I think I have cleared the PUM but I can't seem to repair any collateral damage it has done in messing with the windows activation module - I can't find anything on the Web which I can understand and use to repair the damage - my old box hasn't enough grunt to handle an upgrade to WIN 7 - can anyone help before I am forced to kill C: and start again!!

How do I remove Win 7 virus when I can't even see my desktop because the screen is totally...
by Guest Billy Snapp- 0 replies
- 120 views
I was wasting time on supposedly safe sites and I got hit with the Win 7 virus. This is the second time that this has happened under McAfee antivirus. Anyway, I shut down the computer. Now when I restart, I can still sign in, but after that point, the entire screen is black. The ONLY visible things are the stupid messages from the Win 7 virus. This is true in safe mode as well, so I can't even open other anti-virus software saved on a flashdrive. And when I say black, I mean black. The only visible things are the dumb Win 7 virus messages that pop up out of the blackness. Any ideas? I would prefer advice on how to remove the virus in this state, but I will reformat…

After rebooting, the screen indicates that the SP's was not installed correctly and takes about 1 hour to roll back. I tried uninstalling my Microsoft secuirty software. I tried installing in Safe Mode.

Not always wanting automatic updates
by Guest Allan L Jones- 0 replies
- 117 views
At the moment I'm using Trend Micro on my two PC's but I'm thinking of switching to MSE. One reason (apart from the cost of renewing Trend Micro) is because Trend Micro has until now asked me to confirm before making each update but the latest product, Titanium, now updates regularly whether I want it to or not. I do a lot of travelling in areas where my laptop has to run from a dongle with a very poor connection at extremely slow speeds, so downloading an update just kills it. If I dump Trend and start using MSE instead, would I be able to set my laptop to ask me to confirm each time before it accepts a download? That way I could if necessary wait until later when I h…

I had a bug in my 7 year old HP a1520n XP computer. Performing a reset of the OS via F10 at start up did not do the trick. I could not find my original disks. I got a copy of XP from a friend. I installed and how do I continue to enjoy the status of an 'original' XP OS user when the copy I used to reinstall was not the original? I am not getting notices from MS that the OS is not authenticated? any thoughts? Continue reading...

I purchased a new Sony Vaio over a year ago. Model No. VPCF115FM. OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601) The laptop came loaded with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007. Recently, the computer started indicating an error: "SMART Failure Predicted on Hard Disk" and it prompted me to boot using F1 and then backup my data. Step 1: I used Sony Vaio Care to create 2 sets of Recovery Disks and then used Drive Cloner RX to backup all of my data manually and a system image onto a new Seagate external hard drive. Step 2: I purchased a new Hitachi 750 GB (7200 rpm) 2.5 SATA hard drive from Comp USA. The computer's original hard drive is a Hitachi H…
