View 4 Replies View RelatedI've noticed on my computer that several windows services seems to be stopping. First I noticed the "Themes", then Windows Audio, then Firewall, and I think it was called DNS Internet service.Anyways, I keep restarting them after they crash, however, I can't usually restart the firewall. I may fixed that one, which is critical. But whatever bug it is I'm experiencing, it's still influencing my computer. Does this sound like a known virus.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently worked on a computer that has not been updated since probably 1998. When I went to IE, it immediately went to WINDOWS UPDATES. Since they have dial-up only, it was 3 hours and only at 21%, I decided to just shut it down.So now.............how do I stop the updates altogether? They rarely are on the net, they use it for work only, and since their computer runs fine, I can't see allocating that much down-time from their workday to upload the updates.

This tutorial is targeted to those who have a modem and those who don't know the trick.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI read an article on slashdot.org which states that if windows users do not install the windows genuine advantage update that windows will stop working. Apparently this is supposed to be happening this fall. I have installed the Windows Genuine Advantage update because well I had no choice but I haven't installed the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification update (KB905474).These are separate updates. If I do not install the notification update will this mean that windows will stop working or do I just need to install the Windows Genuine Advantage update for windows to continue to keep working?
