WINDOWS UPDATE
by Guest Louise Porter- 0 replies
- 402 views
Thanks Life Boats, Your instructions were a tremendous help to me. There was over 500 malware files on my computer found by MalwareBytes, I also did a defrag and 2 add'l malware popped up. So, I think my computer may be a bit cleaner but it does not answer the question as to why I would have gotten the updates in the first place. The updates appeared as they have in the past with the little yellow icon indicating that "Windows have updates to be installed." Unfortunately, it was only after I had initialized the updates that I read the titles and realized that I should not have gotten these but could not stop the installation. The tech I spoke with at the MS corporat…

Scanning multiple pages into one pdf file using Windows 8 Fax & Scan and a Brother MFC-7420
by Guest NormanRayQC- 0 replies
- 390 views
When I attempt a new scan with the feeder (scanning one side) selected, the scanner makes each page into a separate file that is read by the photo program rather than Adobe. In addition, the Brother scanner was reset so that it will no longer scan multiple pages into one file using my Brother program that is loaded into my old computer using Windows 7. How can I get back to simple B&W scanning of multiple pages into a single Adobe pdf? Thanks Continue reading...

Since I followed the advice and opened 'netplwiz' to avoid entering password every time laptop sleeps/logoff, I have had nothing but trouble. Twice, I have had to get codes by telephone, then last night when I entered the code I found under Users, 5 different user accounts all different versions of me??? Plus all my music has been wiped form Windows Media player and I am at the end of my tether with all this Microsoft interference. Why can't I just tdecide if I want to use passwords or not. I am the only person who uses this laptop. Support is of no use whatsoever...simply directs you somewhere else. I am scared to logout in case I can't get b…

Product Key
by Guest Bill Th.- 0 replies
- 331 views
I purchased Windows 7 Home Premium awhile back. They sent me 2 disks: one was a 32 bit OS, and the other a 64 bit OS. I installed the 32 bit OS. Now I have partitioned the hard drive and also installed the 64 bit OS. Only one product key came with both OS; it is invalid for use with the 64 bit OS. Can I purchase and download, through Microsoft, a new product key for use with the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS I just installed? Continue reading...

I performed a system restore on my windows 7 PC. After the restore was finished I go to my computer and I notice that I didn't have any internet access ,so I proceed to check if the network was even showing up and it wasn't. I had a great internet connection before the restore but now I can't connect to any network because none are showing up. This also has nothing to do with my router because the rest of my family had perfectly good wifi. Please help!!! Continue reading...

ERROR 0x80070490 : MpSigStubMain - Windows Defender Updates
by Guest SickOfViruses- 0 replies
- 878 views
I'm seeing a similar problem - last raft of windows updates for my win8.1 x64 machine, everything works fine except the definition update for defender. I've tried downloading the definition update directly and ran the mpas-fex64.exe, which simply returns, no messages, but update still fails. Here's the mpsig* information showing defender's got some dll's out of sync. My guess is this has been failing for awhile. Any way to repair it short of a reinstall? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Command: MpSigStub.exe /program "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\Install\AM_Delta.exe" WD /q Start time: 6/15/2014 5:40 …

Odd behavior of MSE - appears to have found a virus/malware, but hasnt?
by Guest JohnSalverda- 0 replies
- 330 views
OS: Win 7 64 bit. (not this computer) Problem: Noted that the MSE Icon was red, usually indicating an issue. Opened MSE, expecting that something was found. As soon as MSE icon opened, the icon turned green and all was ok per MSE. I suspected malware as I had been browsing the web and my browser (IE 11) had starting acting odd. Downloaded SpyHunter 4. It found BetterSurf, along with a host of other malware/spyware apps and cookies, which have since been cleaned. Why didn't MSE detect BetterSurf? I did get a popup stating that the webpage that I was looking at needed a new Media Player, but I promptly turned the computer off... More importantly, why was the…

Is Fedora 20 streaming atari, amiga and nintendo audio files?
by Guest BadBIOSVictim- 0 replies
- 331 views
In November 2011, after booting to Privatix, a live German Tor distro, my linux boxes became infected with BadBIOS. BadBIOS infects burning of DVDs. Recently, I purchased two live Fedora 20 DVDs from a honest and nice Ebay seller. They are tampered. I don't believe the seller tampered them. Fedora 20 has similar packages as the tampered Privatix. http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/sec...tml#post950611 I could not find a list of preinstalled packages in Fedora 20 filesystem nor on Fedora's wiki. Could someone refer where to find it? Is Privatix and Fedora injecting BadBIOS as microcode into the video card? Is Privatix and Fedora 20 PXE booting using squashfs, busy…

network device driver - copy skb data to dma region
by Guest meerkat- 0 replies
- 331 views
Hi, Mapping the skb data to dma sometimes includes a bounce buffer (if the skb is out of the dma area) My dma bitmask is unusual, and so I'm getting a lot of those bounce buffers. My question is - Is there a way to make sure that the skb is allocated in my dma region before I get it in the xmit function? This way I can keep the zero-copy in the tx, and avoid the bounce buffer at the same time. Only 2 options I came up with are: 1. map the skb data (--> bounce buffer) 2. memcpy the skb data and then map it (no more zero-copy) Thanks! Roy Continue reading...
