No Attachments/Avast Warning

Mar 23, 2008

My father and brother both use internet mail and when they send any emails on to me in Vista mail I don't get the attachments (one was a .wmv ext) As far as I know I have checked/unchecked ALL the correct boxes in the mail options and my Avast online scanner settings and still I don't get the pictures intended or the attachments. I have removed Norton, checked my firewall settings and still nothing!

Avast AV Scanner

Feb 13, 2010

Not sure where to post this so here goes:

Can anyone comment on whether they think an Avast's AV scanner is any good.
I just got finished fixing a friends 2 month old Vista laptop that wouldn't
start up. I managed to boot it into `the last known good configuration' then
ran CCleaner, MBAM, SAS and Spybot. WU's were downlevel.

Just seems like with Avast running on this machine things got pretty screwed
up to the point where it wouldn't start normally at all. I don't think
Windows Defender was invoked either but it is now.

Avast In Notification Area

Jul 31, 2009

Not sure which newsgroup I should be using. Hope this is the right one. I have an avast icon in the Notification area. Each time it completed an virus data base update, it would pop up and make a verbal announcement. It is quite annoying, and sometimes disruptive. I tried to hide it by : right click task bar > Properties > Notification Area > Customize > select Hide on avast! ( both ). Won't work. Still shows up for an announcement.

Avast/AVG Free Plus Defender Adequate?

Mar 29, 2008

Post in reply to: kplumm Windows Firewall is fine!! Remove Norton ; it is a resource hog! Above is a link to Avast Free 4 Home Anti-Virus It is low resource using, free and Vista 32bit and 64bit compatible. For Spyware removal, use the above link to ???Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2? Download it, install it, update it, immunize your system and scan your System with it. For a non-scanning, but running the background, Program to STOP Spyware being downloaded to your Computer, use SpywareBlaster 4, available at the above link.

Are AVAST And COMODO Condusive Can't Work

Aug 2, 2008

I'm a newbi on this board this is my first post. I just recently upgraded to a Windows Vista Home 64 bit. My old system was Windows xp. I found this board as I was trying to get the Norton security that came on my pc to uninstall. The info on this board is priceless. I was able to get rid of the Norton and have now installed AVAST. My question is should I also run COMODO firewall or just use the Vista firewall. And if I run the Comodo should I disarm the VF. Again many thanks on the Norton issue, I was pleased to find out that I was not the only one who could not uninstall that pos.

Avast Home Edition 4.8.1335 No Longer Auto-updates

Jun 16, 2009

It hasn't automatically updated its JVS signatures since I installed the new service pack on May 27. I can still manually update, but miss the convenience of auto. I checked my Windows Firewall settings and created an exception for Avast. I have performed a repair installation of Avast and have even renewed my license key early. Is there some kind of incompatibility between Vista SP2 and Avast that I don't know about?

Warning IE8 RC1

Feb 17, 2009

Vista Ultimate with all the latest service packs and updates install, then installed IE8 RC1.

Installed Internet Explorer 8 Release Candidate 1 and had the following
problems.

(1) Windows would not restart.

(2) required going through Safe Mode startup to get Windows to finish installation.

(3) after rebooting several times, finally got it going.
(4) Aero was turned off after all of this.

Not sure if it was a remnant of Safe Mode or from IE8 RC1.

Note: If you have to reboot, then turn off the PC. Unplug the PC or turn the power switch off on the back of the PC on the power supply. Sometimes just using the buttons on the front of the PC does not remove all power and thus all facilities.

I have seen this many times; demanding a complete power removal before the PC would restart properly.

No Warning Shut Downs

Jun 11, 2008

Whenever I try to convert an .avi file to DVD format, my PC starts the conversion process, and then suddenly shuts down. I'm not sure if this is a Vista problem, or a hardware one, or a ...? I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm wondering if there's some kind of fail-safe, a breaker of sorts, that shuts the PC down when the cpu usage is above a certain level? The PC does get extra loud when it starts the conversion, so my guess is the processor is really being drained. But if that's the case, shouldn't a dual core processor be able to hand a simple video file conversion? Am I making any sense? Probably not. Is there some kind of test / check / diagnostic tool I can use to assess what's going on?

Randomly Powers Off Without Warning.

Aug 12, 2009

My Vista x64 PC is randomly powering off. MSI Neo4 Diamond MB, AMD athlon 64 X2 4200+ CPU, 2G ddr2-800 ram, 1TB and 500GB SATA drives, ATI Radeon HD4350 video card. started a couple months ago. either you get into Vista and are working and suddenly pow... it goes off like pulling the power cord. sometimes it will do it right before the screen gives you the login to Vista..Thought it was a power issue and upgraded a 500W supply to a 750W modular unit. No change... have completely disassembled the unit, cleaned everything, cleaned the CPU/heatsink and put new Arctic silver in.

I can sit in bios all day watching the hardware monitor and the CPU never get's over about 30-31 Degrees C. Voltages are good and steady. as soon as it's booted to Vista, it starts... even sitting idle it will do it. I have Windows XP and Windows 7 RC on the 500G drive. if I boot to either of those OS's, it will run for days without ANY issues... it is ONLY vista that has the issue. I thought it may have been the drive, so I made an image and restored it to the 500GB drive, then removed the 1TB drive from the system... Same issues.

Disable UAC: Warning Dialog?

May 15, 2008

I have disabled UAC on a Vista machine so that I can connect to it from a remote location and change its configuration. However, every time the Vista machine is restarted a window opens above the tray telling the user that UAC is off and that they should "click here" to turn it on. From ignorance or carelessness the user frequently clicks the window and re-enables UAC. How can I prevent this message from appearing? I want UAC off on this machine and I want it to stay off!

Iv'e been having a warning icon show up in the system tray lately, but I can't right click it, open it, or get any info whatsoever. Not a big deal really, just an oddity thats bugging me. Event viewer just shows normal error and warnings, although one DID show a reg. leak. Not sure if theres any relation there. Like I said, its not big deal...just more curious as to why I can't click or open the icon.

Hibernate Warning. How Do Generate One?

Jul 29, 2009

When my battery runs low I usually don't notice it's happening until it's too late. On my last laptop under XP I was given a screen pop-up warning to plug in my power adaptor before it was too late. I've searched all over the Power Management section in Vista and cannot find this ability even though I'm sure it's there. Where is it?

Reboots Without Warning While Surfing

May 30, 2008

I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I have issues with the system cold rebooting while surfing any websites. I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 system. I've had several avenues of support from Dell's "experts" from India. None has solved the issue so far. If I run a Video card stress test, then go on a website and surf, the system will cold reboot in less than 10-20 seconds. The CPU does not seem to go over 60c, and the memory does not seem to run out of resources. Currently, if I surf for about 30 minutes or so, I will get a reboot. I have reinstalled Vista with SP1 and all updates.

Constantly Getting The Low C: Memory Warning

Oct 18, 2009

I am running Vista Home Basic. I have good computer knowledge and skills although certainly not an expert. I can't understand why I am constantly getting the low C: memory warning. I store all pictures and music, etc. on a separate hard drive, and I have carefully gone over my program files and uninstalled any that didn't seem worthwhile. I have a 70 gig hard drive which seems like lots and is more than any computer I've owned before. Sometimes it seems that if I delete files, etc. to clear up memory and the next time I come back to my computer I'm out of memory again. I often get the "could not complete back up due to insufficient memory" notice. I'm unclear on what is being backed up and if this is part of the problem. I have 3 GB of RAM and the Virtual Memory is currently set at 3242 MB

Disable Warning For 1 Program

When I use harmless programs (such as createinstall free), I get a warning: an unknown program wants to access your computer (litteraly translated from Dutch). How can I disable this FOR ONLY THIS PROGRAM. That means: My intention is to disable it only for createinstall, and not for any other programs.
