Microsoft Security Essentials And Other Internet Security Softwares

Oct 28, 2012

I recently purchased a lenovo laptop for home purpose around 1.5 months back. The laptop was having already microsoft security essentials (MSE) and mcafee antivirus plus software. Unfortunately, yesterday i was facing blue screen on death type of error (BSOD) error. On one forum, I found that it may be due to the mcafee antivirus software. So, I uninstalled the software as per suggestion.Why MSE was not able to detect this bsod error? Moreover, why mcafee, which itself is a anti-virus software, was causing this issue?

Morever, I want to install good free antivirus software. I am totally confused whether should I install the antivirus software or, the internet security software. Please throw more light on good free internet security software from longer perspective. (I just found that almost all free trials are only for 1 month only)? Moreover, why built-in windows firewall and microsoft security essentials (MSE) are not enough for detecting malacious software. Why extra internet security software or antivirus software is required ?

[SECURITY] Recommend A Wireless NIC For Security Testing?

Aug 25, 2011

I recently bought a notebook PC, and was quite annoyed to find that Intel has magically removed the ability to change the Centrino N 130 wireless adapter's MAC address.Before the nutters get in here with accusations of "illegal" activity, I feel obligated to point out that there is nothing "illegal" about changing the MAC address on my own property. Briefly, I want to pose my notebook as a hypothetical attacker, trying to bump one of my other wireless devices off the router by assuming its MAC address. I don't really know what would happen if I did this, because, like I said, Intel artificially crippled the Centrino N 130 through its Windows 7 drivers. Rather paternalistic of them.Another benefit of the proposed experiment: showing the futility of MAC filtering in keeping out the "bad guys." I have been convinced of this for some time, but been simultaneously unable to demonstrate it to my own satisfaction. There is no substitute for actually trying something, rather than just reading about it.

I am also a little annoyed at the Centrino N's (lack of) performance. I have yet to have it connect at greater than 72 Mbit/s, even while sitting less than 10 feet from the router with a clear line of sight.FWIW, my router is a NetGear WNR3500v2. N wireless is enabled. As far as I know, this router is capable of supporting a full 300 Mbit or so 802.11n wireless connection, as long as the wireless NIC on the other end is doing its part (which mine doesn't).With all that in mind, can someone suggest an N-capable wireless NIC that is not purposely crippled by its manufacturer? I would prefer an internal mini-PCIe card, but Intel seem to be the only ones making those. Even a G-capable or USB device would probably serve the purpose, if that's all that's available.

New License For OEM

May 10, 2012

I tried to sell my OEM copy of Win7 along with the motherboard it was tied to. But I couldn't. I managed to sell the board, but am stuck with the OEM copy of Win7. So now I was wondering... if I install the old OEM Win7 on my new build, can I purchase a new license from M$ at the time of activation? Or do I have to trash this copy and physically buy a new copy?

Can't Use An OEM License For Personal Use

Apr 28, 2012

A recent thread on Sevenforums got me thinking. Why does Microsoft say in their license terms that you can't use an OEM license for personal use, but they sell it through third parties (Amazon and Newegg) and they know that ordinary people are going to buy these OEM copies. If Windows Activation goes through with it then it must be fine, right?Also, I kind of mentioned this already, but why would they sell it through third parties if they CLEARLY know that any average personcould come across it and buy it. It doesn't say anywhere on Amazon's product description page that I have to sell it to a third party.

Is There Any Way To Remove An Old License Key

Mar 18, 2011

I have a old license key I want to remove from the registry but I don't know how to find it. This isn't the OS key, it's just for an old software program. I installed a different version of the program and it has a different key, but the two have become intertwined. Now the other program won't work the way it's supposed to because the other version had features this one doesn't.

Windows 7 License Transfer?

Aug 4, 2012

Its been a little while since I've been here and I have a quick question about this new fangled Windows 7. I have it and Windows XP installed as a dual boot on my machine currently. However, I'm ready to get rid of XP entirely and switch to 7. I have a new SSD coming and I could just clone the drive but instead I was wondering about doing a fresh install on the new drive and just formatting the old one.

Windows 7 License Question

Feb 27, 2012

Now first off, I would like to make myself clear; I am not attempting to break any laws/rules, I am attempting to find out the rules so as NOT to break them. My question is this: If I make a virtual machine of Windows 7 with 5 users, on a Linux server, and have 5 Linux machines hooked to it, would I be breaking any MS licensing laws if each "Windows user" accessed that Virtual machine from their Linux machine? And to be honest I'm not even certain the Virtual machines can be accessed this way or if they have to reside on the actual Linux client

Transfer Of Windows 7 License Between PCs

Sep 9, 2010

I bought the retail version of Win 7 Home Premium when it came out, and put it on my laptop.I'm now building a PC for my parents, and I was thinking about transferring the Win 7 install to the new PC.I still have the Vista for my laptop that it came with, but would probably want to keep Win 7 on it until i'm happy that the PC is working ok.Having never transferred licences between PCs? Will the two versions run concurrently (I know its a license for one, but i'd like to know what happens!) or will the 'old' version stop working correctly?

May 17, 2012

I bought Company Of Heroes a few days ago. Just tried to install it now but in that section I must enter the license code from the back of the booklet it tells me that my license code is invalid. The case was still sealed when I bought it.

PS: I took a photo of the screen showing the entered license code, the code on the booklet and the error message.

Office 07 Usable Without License Key?

Jan 27, 2012

I just got a distressed Windows 7 unit that has Office 07 Home and Student installed on it. I'm trying to figure out exactly where I stand with MS on this. Everything functions perfectly, except every time an Office app is fired up it requests the license key. But the key is not necessary to run the program, and it will allow you to proceed without the key after a few nuisance screens.I would think that either the installation is valid or not. I don't have a key, so I'm stuck where it is for now, but I'd like to understand what's going on.
