I installed Windows Defender offline on a CD. Restarted the computer, the disk popped up however it didn't run anything. What do I do? I can see the files on the disk but other than that it doesn't do anything. View this thread

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on a very fast computer. Yesterday it was crashing Outlook, the search engine was not working, and I had trouble getting anything to work. I clicked the up-arrow on the right side of the taskbar to see what was running, and there was something I had never seen before - labeled "Everything". I opened it to see what it was, and it had several http:// items it seemed to be controlling. After deleting it and restoring the system, Outlook still crashes and the search engine is still fouled up! Any ideas? It seems like a malware, but Microsoft Security Essentials did not detect it.

Hi, I have a windows 8 workstation setup for testing. I am having an issue with the temporary internet files. When you login with a local user everything works fine, however as soon as I enable domain access and login with the administrator account the temporary internet files folder becomes locked. It becomes set to size 0 and is not usable. If I try to set a size it will only allow up to 10 and then once you close the properties and open it back up its back to 0. I have windows 7 and xp workstations with no issues. I have tried to change permissions but there is no permission tab on the properties of the folder itself. I am trying to determine else to look at to solve the issue. Thanks, EddieA View the full article

A file I encrypted with Truecrypt mysteriously was moved to a different folder on the same drive. The folder is named '755d3851e9b156252c7f93106a7e' and I can not modify the permissions to move the encrypted back. This seems to have happened just prior to a major update from MS. Thanks for assistance. View this thread

Hello, I use a program (Beyond Compare) which has a Folder Compare module, with a function for doing a binary comparison between the files inside two folders. I use it to check the integrity of my backups, by comparing my main hard disk files, with the ones on the backup hard disks. If two files get recognized as being different, then one of them should be corrupt (if they didn't get modified &quotnormally&quot). My question is: will this method work to detect real file corruptions? Will it detect any kind of corruption, both copy corruptions, and &quotbit rot&quot corruptions? Will there be no problem regarding read cache? I mean: if the first file to compare gets read from disk, and is kept in a read cache (by Windows or by the hard disk, or by something else), will the second file get read from the same cache (if Windows or the hard disk think they are identical files)? Do Windows and hard disks have some kind of procedure to detect if a file to read from disk is already available in cache, even if it is in a different folder than the &quotoriginal&quot one? Perhaps some kind of file-checksum-system which decides that the files are same? (And this system would not notice if the file to compare is corrupt). If this would be true, then integrity checks by file comparison would not work, because in practice the same file would be read twice (first from disk, and then from cache), instead of reading both the two files to be compared from disk. I have already done tests by manually &quotcorrupting&quot files (changing slightly the contents, while keeping size and timestamp the same), and it works (the files get recognized as different). But I'm not sure if it will work also with &quotreal&quot corrupt files. I'm interested mostly about Windows 8 Pro 64bit and NTFS (but would like to know also in general). Thanks.

Hi everybody. After installing updates that require a system reboot, it's necessary to reboot as soon as posible or if it is safe to install the updates and reboot later? I mean, the system become unstable? As far as I know, Windows detects that the file is in use, the new version of the file is copied to a temporary location and the system replace it on the next boot, but I would like to confirm it and to have some more details.
