Windows Vista 2012 holding my computer hostage...how to remove?
by Guest Mandykins- 0 replies
- 134 views
Came home today and turned on my computer. All of a sudden, Windows Vista 2012 has turned off all of my current firewall and Windows Defender, states that my system is hacked, infected, and every attempt I make to get information or find my current firewall info is blocked. It won't let me do it. I just managed to get to the Microsoft Security Essentials, and am running a full scan now--funny, the security essentials says that my computer is "Protected" I don't mind having a company send out ads or optional updates. But when I am blocked from even checking whether I have the 32 or the 64 version...when the scare tactics prevent me from accessing basic info on my…

Been hit 3 times in the last 2 weeks Fake antivirus 2011 simply turns off windows security essentials and loads up 7 or 8 trojans. Blows right by security essential as if it were norton or mccafee and installs itself. Even with the latest updates. Why can't mse stop this infection ? the screen updated and the mse icon disappeared. Is it impossible to protect from fake antiviruses using windows 7 with mse ? Can you recommend a program that actually protects my windows 7 computer ? B. Continue reading...

google calendar deleted through google chrome mishap
by Guest susanbanthonypbc- 0 replies

google chrome was loaded on my computer through a bad link without my permission. it had the "on and on" song, etc. and I couldn't delete it. I read that with XP I had to load a reliable version of Chrome which I did. It is easy to delete Chrome this way but I did not realize that I would lose all my calendar data and my calendar link with another computer. I have reloaded google as my browser but cannot retrieve my calendar. This is a major problem. Continue reading...

Windows 7 Installation With Two Solid State Drives
by Guest BotRot- 0 replies
- 102 views
Greetings Forum, I shall install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit on a system with 2 SSDs. Before I do I'd like to ask a few things about this. With two SATA II HDDs, I'd generally install as such C:\ - Operating system and applications D:\ - User data, some user settings and other user folders, pagefile, user temp folder, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome cookie and caching. I'd do this in order to separate the system and data, and to enhance performance. With two SSDs is it necessary to move the page file and user temp folder to another disc? Asking this from a perfomance and work load (for the drive) perspective. Is it true that SSDs do not require defr…

In IE8 and earlier, it seems that if you plug in a hostname in the address bar, it will add http:// and a trailing slash by default and things - eg, typing 'helpdesk' resolves to http://helpdesk/ and takes you to our in-house helpdesk. In IE9, it will take you to a web search for the term 'helpdesk' prepending the protocol, 'http://helpdesk' or appending a slash, 'helpdesk/', or a fqdn, 'helpdesk.domain.name' will take you to the right place I assumed this was a policy setting, but have just built a clean non-domain Win7 machine and it behaves the same - IE8 will append the trailing slash and find the host, IE9 will search with bing... once its found the site once, it…

Mouse movement causing jerky video in IE9
by Guest Jakobkraft- 0 replies
- 121 views
Ok, I can't figure this out. If I'm on YouTube or IMDB watching a trailer -- ANY streaming video whatsoever in IE9, if I move the mouse at all, the video jerks. I've tried launching IE9 with no add-ons, safe mode, everything. This doesn't happen in latest Firefox or Chrome or Opera, ONLY IE9. I've tried with wired USB mouse AND wireless mouse with same results. CPU usage does go up to higher than it does in FF or Chrome or Opera from mouse movements (40%-50%) but I don't think it should be so high as to cause jerky video playback (sound is not affected, by the way -- only video). Already have latest driver for my ATI graphics card so that can't be it. I tried disabling my…
