HelloI'm a 70 year old user and was using Microsoft Security Essentials in my older Desktop (with W7 Pro). Now I have a new Desktop with Windows 10 Pro and its my understanding (when I formatted), I was also installing 'Microsoft Defender Antivirus' (Windows Security)? Correct? However during format I wasn't connected to the internet and now when I try to update Microsoft Defender Antivirus (Windows Security) I'm unable to do that. Instead I get a prompt which says contact the IT Dept.??? On the TAB entitled Account Protection apparently I'm not signed in? If this is the problem, what name/pas Continue reading...

Malware bytes compatibility with BitDefender
by Guest larrylastiwka- 0 replies
- 57 views
Recently upgraded to Bit Defender VPN via support service who in turn deleted existing Malware Bytes protection on the premise that you should not have two security systems on the same unit. Cyber world tells me BD will not update if MB is installed which might explain why the BD icon disappeared from the desk top and appeared to drop BD protection as the few intrusion warnings came from MB. Support (Geek Squad) assured me MB was not necessary after VPN and full BD program was installed. I'm of the understanding that MB has another layer of protection that BD doesn't? What is the long term e Continue reading...

The vulnerability manager I use detects package versions that have either been uninstalled, or have been updated to a version that includes the vulnerability fix. The QID detection Logic is: "The detection gets the version of [package] by querying wmi query". Support have suggested I contact Microsoft for help. Would the best course of action be to remove registry entries for the older versions? In some cases, the x64 app has been updated and the x86 version has been left behind. As an example, QID 91914 - Microsoft Photos App Remote Code Execution (RCE) Vulnerability for June 2022 CVE 202 Continue reading...

So this file randomely appeared on my android phone called current_log.txt. I had not installed a new application nor had I ever seen a file like this before. I looked at the file and have no idea what it came from, it is a few hundred KB, its in a place called Microsoft Skydrive cache which is something I have never seen or used. It has an MD5 code attached to it which reads 1686f82e285060eeb68da6938b98e84d though ik it is incredibly tough to decode MD5 so I do not expect anything to come out of that file owner was classed as u0_a271 and it was modified yesterday. I tried deleting it but it c Continue reading...

is PC MATIC 1-(929)-991-0090 preventing my computer from rebooting properly?
by Guest eliana mercy- 0 replies
- 48 views
I attempted to restart my Microsoft Surface with Windows 10 (I was having network problems, and already restarted the router to no avail), but somewhere along the rebooting steps, my device's display went black and was consistently flashing a quick blue screen. I forced a shut-down after waiting some time for a change, and only got a black screen with a spinning wheel and a blinking cursor. This continued to be the result of a normal forced shutdown and a normal powering-up the device.A few days prior to this incident, I downloaded PC Matic and ran a scan. The Scan turned up Continue reading...
