Windows Defender Offline Beta confusion
by Guest Logan11- 0 replies
- 123 views
MS Security Essentials said that there was a threat that could not be removed and that I needed to download something, so I clicked the link which sent me here (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/what-is-windows-defender-offline). Then I downloaded the file available on the page (for Windows-7 64 Bit, which is the correct version for me) onto a flash drive, restarted my computer from it as instructed, and did a full scan. The scan said that it had found no threats, so I restarted my computer normally. Then to my surprise I saw that MS Security Essentials said that there was still a threat that could not be removed and that I still needed to download the thing th…

Maybe I'm in the wrong forum i just want to know something concerning Windows Defender beta. Is the defender build the same for XP as it is in Windows 7, i saw a video and it appeared to have a different interface. Also are the engines the same, in another video a Microsoft technician said the Defender was all he used to avoid conflict, which was in a Windows 7 demonstration. My battleship is armed with the XP firewall and Windows Defender Qwest m-1000 modem which i believe has a router that contains a firewall as well, all in XP Pro.. Thanks in advance guys..

Hi, I have a UEFI based windows 7 machine, which had a 120gb SSD c: drive that died (nooo!). My D: drive has a system image backup and I also create a system repair disk (yaay!). However, I can't get them to work together to allow me to restore to a good old 400gb SATA drive replacing the C drive. Here's what I try: 1. When I boot the PC in UEFI mode from the DVD drive (boot UEFI DVDRAM drive) with the repair disk, it just says "boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible" 2. When I boot the PC in BIOS mode from the DVD drive (boot DVDRAM drive) with the repair disk, it just says "non system disk" 3. When I boot the PC in UEFI mode off a Windows …

Ok, here's the situation... .NET framework 3.5 renders a disabled anchor like this: Visit W3Schools.com! For some reason, IE displays it grayed by default. The problem is, I need to apply a style on it, and it involves changing the text color. To do some tests, I tried Visit W3Schools.com! but IE refuses to display it red. So, how can I display a red disabled anchor in IE 9? Here's a link where you can do some tests: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_link_test Thanks in advance!

After looking at various forums for the last two days, I've not been able to resolve a situation I am having with a client computer. The computer is running Windows XP Professional and is capable of accessing the local network, but that is as far as it goes. In Network Connections, Local Area Connection simply says "Connected", it does not indicate any limited access like it normally would. Ipconfig /all returns the following: C:\Documents and Settings\ws05>ipconfig /all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : workstation05 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No…
