It is stopping me from going online, and says i have tons of viruses. I don't. I already have a virus protection program (McAfee from AOL). How do I uninstall it completely

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs this an actual microsoft product? I keep getting this message on the computer saying I need to downloan Antivirus 2008 and that it has found many viruses on my PC. When I looked up the file location it comes up in C:usersAppDataRoamongMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu It is causing problems on the PC and looks like it just was created a few days ago. I can't get into e-mail because it says there is a threat and won't let me continue. I tried to delete the file but I couln't find it when I went into my computer. There was no App Data file that I could see. I have Norton antivirus installed and I ran a scan on the file but got nothing. I want to get rid of this but don't knwo how.

View 8 Replies View RelatedA few days ago, the Antivirus 2008 pop-up appeared on my friend's new computer. It stated that he had 41 infections. HIs access to the internet was blocked, as well. In order to remove them, he had to pay for the service. After a bit of research, I discovered that it was a scam and attempted to remove it from his computer, via standard means (control panel, programs and features, uninstall). It appeared that some files were removed, but some were left behind. Those that remained still indicated that he had 41 infections and blocked his access to the internet, by indicating that the websites posed a threat........

I had a game I wanted ot make work but DEP kept stopping it so I turned off DEP by using the command prompt. bcdedit.exe/set {current] nx AlwaysOff and it worked. I then restarted Vista and all I get is a quick flash of a blue crseen and then two options, 1) Repair and 2) Start normally. I have restored to an earlier point, I have also tried safe mode, I pressed F8 and tried starting with last known working settings and also F8 then a repair option, opened a command prompt and tried reversing the command but it didn't seem to do anything.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been unable to load and use itunes because of a DEP message that pops up on screen shutting down the program.
I have done the following:
*uninstalled the programs itunes and quicktime
*uninstalled the programs completely using Crogram files - the additional way of uninstalling.
* reinstalled/uninstalled both programs about 4 times
* reinstalled quicktime as a stand alone program
* used Windows installer clean up
I can't turn DEP off by selecting itunes and putting into the marked exception box because an error message tells me that itunes MUST operate with DEP. It will not drag it into the box.
In a message there is 39 files I need to download and I'm only getting 36, saying that my security is stopping some files...how can I get these 3 files to download?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the problem that when I restored my computer to an earlier time I had uninstalled Threatfire but it is still there and I can't get rid of it now. It is stopping me from downloading other programs! When I try to delete the folder in programs it tells me that I can't as I do not have the rights to do it even though I am the administrator and sole user of the computer. I have used CCleaner to try to remove it but it does not work either. I have tried in safe mode also.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAt some point I have pressed the 'receive updates for other products' on the Windows Update panel. I now have half a dozen updates for Office 2007 waiting for installation. I do not have Office 2007 - I do have Office 2000 and Works, so I don't see any point in downloading and installing these updates.I have tried hiding the updates, but because they are 'important' they reappear. Is there any way of deselecting the'other products' option so I go back to only checking for Windows updates?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been reading the Threads here and on other Forums with regards to the IE issue of it stopping working on Vista. I've tried all the suggestions I have found to date (including uninstalling OneNote, repairing registry issues etc etc) and I still can't get the damn thing to work. Every time it loads I get the message saying Internet Explorer has stopped working. I normally use Firefox, but have to be able to test websites in IE so must get it working.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI had a problem with my Microsoft Vista print spooler (spoolsv.exe) stopping on Data Execution Prevention (DEP) violations from the time I installed my HP and Lexmark printers. This has been only an irritation to date as I have set the spooler to always restart 1 minute after failure. However lately I am having more programs stop on DEP violation. The Microsoft Vista??? WMI Provider Host??? has stopped several times on DEP. I do not know what the ???Vista WMI Provider Host??? does. I did not see any adverse results with the Microsoft Vista??? WMI Provider Host??? stopped. So far my DEP violations have been random and inconsistent. The print spooler stops on DEP even when both printers are off. I have performed hardware checks as recommended by Dell and the computer hardware tested OK.

I want it to be set to always auto-hide so the solution either wants to stop the user being able to change this or maybe as a second solution if they do change it then i want it to be reset when the machine is rebooted.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAll right, so I've gotten my self in one mighty big mess. I've been Dual-Booting Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit and Linux Ubuntu 9.04 for a while now. And just today I decided I didn't want Ubuntu any more. So I loaded up in to Vista and deleted the Ubuntu partition. I then extended the Vista partition to fill up the new 70 GB of unallocated space. After running a Defrag I restarted my computer, but it still tries to load GRUB 1.5. And every time it end up getting Error 22. I can no longer access Windows and I'm on these forums thanks to a Linux Live-CD. I need a way to get rid of GRUB for good....
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been using Adobe suit collection CS3 and when I updated it I had a few issues with some of the programs. So I downloaded another Suit and tried to overwrite the old version with this new one. But it didn't install. So then I tried to uninstall The old Adobe suit from control panel but it would not happen. It would simply just bluff a loading mouse and then nothing would happen. Now I can not intall a new one and the old one is completely disfunctional. The message I get when I try to open a program is "The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call custumer support."

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want TO "un-RAID" (what's the term please? disable? split? uninstall?) so that I have 2 x 250Gb separate hard drives. (I want to try scheduled backups for a while and see how that goes.) I have tried these solutions:
a) I have looked at the software and can't find a way to disable/split/uninstall. DELETING IS UNACCEPTABLE as that wipes all data. I need to keep OS/programs/data as is.
b) I have gone into BIOS F2. Under System Setup I have tried all three RAID/IDE/AHCI. ONLY RAID works. With IDE and AHCI setting it goes to blue screen for a split second and goes back to reboot.
c) I have physically disconnected one drive. The software tells me it's STILL got RAID 1 with 2 x HDD but with "missing hard drive"
