Microsoft security essentials and email
by Guest SharonHowe- 0 replies
- 114 views
Hello: Can someone tell me if Microsoft Security Essentials protects your email accounts? I have a charter account and today I had some kind of virus pop up when I opened a message and I quickly got out of the email and ran a scan. I wasn't sure what to do. That's why I asked about MSE. I have windows 7 and this was the first time this happened to me. What is the difference between MSE and Windows Defender. Do I need an online security software besides MSE? Thank you. Sharon Continue reading...

Windows and security essentials stopped updating
by Guest Cassie2938- 0 replies
- 131 views
I got the Windows XP Home Security 2012 virus on my computer. I managed to clean it off by putting the drive in another computer and remote scanning it with malware bytes. This removed the virus, but then programs still wouldn't open. Then searched the registry and found "HKEY_ROOT/something/something/shell/exefile" and there was a key that pointed to /Application Data/virus.exe in a couple of locations. After removing those, all the programs appeared to work. However, now my automatic updates are turned off and I cannot turn them on. I can also not update windows manually. Additionally, Microsoft Security Essentials will not update. I have uninstalled and re-inst…

Problems with clean re-install of win 7 on dual boot with XP
by Guest Vitaloverdose- 0 replies
- 177 views
I had windows Xp and Windows 7 in a dual boot configuration on separate partitions on the same drive. Windows 7 Developed startup problems (was getting about 75% of the way through starting up and then stopped on a blank screen with the mouse cursor) that could not be repaired using startup repair. So i decided to try to remove windows 7 and reinstall it. I used a program called easyBCD to remove the windows 7 entry in the boot manager and then remove the boot manager itself. I then formated the windows 7 partition. I tested XP and it worked fine I pressed F8 during bootup to see if the (dual) boot manager was there and it had been removed. So then i tried to clean in…

Trouble installing Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 on Vista OS
by Guest mndquayle- 0 replies
- 125 views
I recently purchases Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 and I am trying to install it on the Vista OS. During the installation it appears to make it most of the way through the installation, however when it gets near the end of the installation it seems to get stuck. It does not give me an error code and the setup program still shows to be running in task manager. How long is it supposed to take the program to install. I have left it sitting for over an hour and it just says it is installing. But the progress bar is not moving and it does not give me an error. I don't know what to do. Please help.

A new blank field opens at the top of the screen but apart from that, nothing happens and the link does not open. To my knowledge I have made no alterations to IE9 so am at a loss to understand whats gone wrong. Continue reading...

A folder turned up under My Documents with the name of "e4504-1221029-e4cfod4d5adc22". It contains two folders both labelled "Microsoft Maliciuos Software Removal Tool" and anothe file with an .exe extension. Is this a Bona-Fide message from Microsoft of another potential danger to my computer? I ask this because I have never requested this from Microsoft and I am never sure whether or not all those downloads that purport to be upgrades are genuine or not. How can I tell if this one is safe? Continue reading...
