View 9 Replies View RelatedDATA PROTECTION Fraud Antivirus: Data Protection Is A Counterfeit Application Which Pretends To Be A Legitimate Security Tool
May 15, 2010Data Protection is a counterfeit application which pretends to be a legitimate security tool. It is also from the same rogue family as Digital Protection, Your Protection, User Protection, Dr. Guard and Paladin Antivirus. The trojan based software starts its activities as soon as it installs onto your computer. Malware has no ability to detect and terminate the parasite. It only gains that user lose their vigilance and would buy a registered version of Data Protection application.
This is a fraud and dangerous for your computer. Behind an offer stands bad people who will use your money for malicious intentions. This application is not worth spending your money. As any malware this one will scan your computer automatically and will show fake results. You should ignore it. Do not fall for this blatant scam. Data Protection can also redirect your web browser to deceptive web pages that advertises “full” version of the security tool. Do not buy it, but choose decent anti-spyware application and terminate Data Protection upon detection. - the conclusion is that Malware bytes does remove it,, you need to download the lastest malware byte or update the one you got.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhats The Best Way To Go From Vits To XP?
May 18, 2008What is the best way to go from Vista back to XP? Can I use an upgrade disk or must I purchase the full version for $270? The super-secret DRM file indiv02_64.key once again is crashing Media Center and everything else. I cannot watch TV, watch a DVD, or even watch Netflix online. I know from a previous encounter with MS support that I must wipe out the computer and reinstall. The only DRM content I watch is cable TV, Netflix online and DVDs from Netflix. How can this OS possibly be this fragile? I won't go into what an adventure it was to get Bluetooth to work.
The last time DRM crashed (4 months ago) I had to call MS support, pay $60 and spend 6 hours on the phone just to get a CD key for Vista Ultimate since a total reinstall apparently is the only option. I had done Upgrade Anytime and hence had no key - I instead had a license file which could not be accessed since the desktop was deactivated since I had no CD key. Said my support call charge would be refunded but of course that was a lie. Between the original purchase, upgrade purchase, support call to MS, and now possibly a full-version purchase of XP this will cost me close to $1,000. If MS products fail to function properly, I must pay more money to MS. That's getting old fast.

I Want A New GPU...But Whats Compatible With My System?, Higher Settings And Higher Resolutions
Aug 28, 2009I want to buy a new graphics card as I feel the 8800GT is 'weak' now. I want to play games on much higher settings and higher resolutions. This involves buying a more powerful graphics card. Now my question is how do I know / what graphics cards are compatible with my system. Is compatibility motherboard dependent? I know that the Dell PC I have does not have an SLI motherboard, so can it run any GPU? Also I don't know what power supply the PC has. But if it can power an 8800GT it should be okay in powering other cards right? Also do you have any recommendations as to what I should get. Price should be below £160 / 181 EUROS / $261.

Jun 9, 2008I have Kaspersky and it seems to be ok. But it is very weird and pretty hard to use. Im not sure if i want it anymore but i need to be 100% sure of another program before i uninstall the other one. I also wanted to know if it is possible to have 2 security protection on your computer at once. I would only want this because i would never want to have my computer being used without virus protection.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAccess Protection Won't Start Up
Apr 4, 2008I turned my computer off the night before but then when i turned it on the next morning my Avast On Access Protection won't start up.. and also my wireless network connection won't connect. only a few programs start up. now i figured a way to fix this but not permanently.
i would have to log into another Administrator account then do a system restore on with that account because on the regular Administrator account it wouldn't open and everything seems to work fine, Shuts down then restores and files and settings then restarts and from there i am able to log into the first Administrator account and everything starts up fine but then when i shut the computer down and start it back up the problem just happens again.
What i also noticed is that when i click shut down from the start menu that is when everything seems to load up like normal but the system is already about to shut down so it just closes again. now this only happens in XP and my vista partition is perfectly fine but i figured i'd post this problem in here
SP1- Symantech Endpoint Protection
May 15, 2008I'm not offered Vista SP1 from Windows Update. I have Windows Vista Premium installed and use Symantec Endpoint Protection. I know the wgx.sys is stopping delivery of SP1 for older version. I have about two weeks ago upgrade Symantec to the new version compatbile with SP1.I have also downloaded the MS readiness tool. There is no hardware driver shown in Windows Update for my computer, which could cause stopping SP1. Is there a way to find out, why I don't get SP1 via Windows Update delivered? All updates are coming through. The last ones was on Tuesday.
View 5 Replies View RelatedStarforce Protection Not Work
May 8, 2009I bought Dreamfall The Longest Journey yesterday and although its installed fine, a copy protection program it forces you to install adds a driver to the windows directory. A driver that someone decided would be better if it weren’t digitally signed... Anyway my computer is now spitting it's dummy out on boot unless I tape it in with the advanced boot menu. Is there anything I can do about this? or do I just have to put up with pressing F8 every time my pc starts until I get bored and uninstall the game. The driver is called sfsync04.sys. I heard there is a way to make Vista always forego driver checking on boot but I'd rather not do that as I don’t see the point of compromising my pc's security for the sake of one game.
