  1. Hi, Recently, my Win 8 PC experience some problem in installing some Win update. At 1900 UTC on 14-03-2013, all the 16 updated failed to be installed after downloading. May I know how to fix this problem? Thanks View this thread
  2. Microsoft updates March 13, 2013 Windows 7 Pro It seems that not all is well with the IE 10 push. I have Windows Update set to download but let me chose when to install. Yet after these updates downloaded...something crazy happens I went to power off like I nornally do and Windows Update stated that updates were being applied not to power off my system. When the update finished the system powered off. When I powered on and booted up I noticed that my IE 32bit was gone and the IE 64bit tries to open, then crashes. I tried to do a restore back before the updates, but the restore failed. Tried going back another restore point and it too failed. Rebooted into Safe Mode...tried the restores again they failed. Tried going back another Restore Point and it too failed. Think maybe Microsoft has a major problem that needs addressing...quick...today not tomorrow...NOW! View this thread
  3. My friends computer crashed right after he refused to buy a security program that flashed on his screen while watching the History Channel from his laptop. His McAfee virus program came up and said they took care of it and no further action was required. Then it came up again so he went to do a reboot. This virus or trojans seems to want to allow him to download his files, but is crashed in every other sense of the word. So hes looking for a place to buy an exteranl hard drive to down load his personal files too. But hes not sure whether he will have to replace his hard drive or not. What the **** is this???

  4. General Issue 03/12/2013 17:16 This comment was created by the customer and added by the OAS Service Subject:1193194846 From:Mama Mia Hello My Pc is very unstable I keep losing my bottom bar. When this happens when I open start I cannot get to restart or shut down I actually have to do clt,alt del to log off. and start again. This leads to memory dump. One day I started in safe mode and that is where I am at cannot get out. My system keeps asking me to install Vista SPi 936330 and I just cannot get it going. It is not being installed. Today I opened my system to get a message that a malware "babylon" was attempting to get into my system and I had that blocked. I then downloaded Mozilla Firefox and something is trying to remove the software, but that too I blocked. I NEED HELP as all the programs you send me too install is being hampered they are not installing, including SP1 My system is very unstable. PLEASE tell me what I need to do. I am always on Microsoft Support possibly I am not asking the right questions. View this thread
  5. I run a full scans every Sunday morning and get the green icon stating nothing found and once in the past I had the same problem that I am writing about where along about midweek I get the brown tent saying I am unprotected, so I bring up essentials to find it says that I haven't ran a scan in a while but shows the date of the last scan as the last Sunday that I ran the scan. The last time I had this issue I took and uninstalled and loaded a new essentials, but If there is a solution to this issue that is a simple fix I would rather do that than keep doing what I did in the past.

  8. Running XP pro with SP3 on 10 year old Dell Dimension 4500. I do NOT use MSE. I use AVG malware protection. I allow Microsoft updates to download automatically but I choose when to install. On 3/13/13 I noticed my PC had set a new restore point called "Software Distribution Service 3.0". Checking Windows Update I found 8 legitimate appearing updates on 3/13 but I knowingly did not take any action to install them. Do I have malware? If yes, how do I recover? The updates were: KB2807986 for One Note KB2687505 for Visio Viewer KB890830 for Malicious... KB982726 for Office 2010 KB2767886 also for Office 2010 KB2809289 for IE 8 KB2814124 for Silverlight KB2553501 for Filter Pack 2.0 Thanks View this thread
  9. I have had this Hp computer for almost a year and the previous owner had it for 4 years and had no problems with it. It has Windows 7. It has currently been giving me issues with freezing and the BSOD STOP: 0x00000116 (0xFFFFFA80056B64E0, 0xFFFFF88004865D9C, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000002) keeps popping up whenever I play a video whether from YouTube or Hulu, and I can't play a game like Diablo 3 or SW the Old Republic anymore because it freezes and my pc restarts in the middle of it. Following with this issue that I do not know how to solve, My windows updates are not working and when I try to do it manually, it pops up an error saying it's Not in Service. I do not know when this issue started but I was beginning to wonder why my pc hadn't updated itself in a long while. I am not a computer wiz, and I have low knowledge on anything internal with pc's. Can someone please help me fix these two issues that could very well be connected with each other? ~Thank you for your time! View this thread

  12. I am trying to find out what the difference is between Microsoft Security Essentials & Windows Defender is . Both will not run at the same time? Is this due to the first already contains the second....Did I make that clear? Thanks in Advance for any REAL help... no i am not screaming in caps. The caps are for emphasis. My daughter says that when I use caps on this computer I am "screaming". What is your opinion? View this thread
  13. Received updates for Vista. Now the computer wil not load the OS, it just sits at a blue screen with a white blinking curser it the upper left hand corne of the screen. I have tried to enter safe mode but I get no response. This computer had no problems before the new Vista updates were installed. Regards Doctorhrdware2859 View this thread
  14. I received a call from a man claiming to be calling from Microsoft Security, saying that my computer was spreading malicious files around the internet. I told him that I didn't understand what he was talking about, so he asked me to start up my computer so that he could show me. I explained that I wasn't at home, and he offered to call back in two hours. I told the man that my computer wasn't giving me any problems or error message, and after he asked me what kind of computer I had (which I told him HP) he told me that he was calling from HP support. I feel wary about giving the man any information or even taking his call (if he's bold enough to call back, I think he could tell I was skeptic). I don't use my computer for any downloading or file sharing, and I have antivirus software - so it's likely this is just a scam right? View this thread
  15. I was browsing through Microsoft and Windows Sites and cam across a lot of Driver Updates, Security Updates, etc....And my question is should I be checking these sites periodically for these and searching for the ones that pertain to my PC and then Downloading and Updating from here as well as getting them through the Windows Update?

  17. I was using ZoneAlarm firewall before I was convinced that Windows Firewall is good enough. Although since I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and started using win firewall, I have trouble with several things such as windows update, defender definition updates, Dropbox syncing... I do not want to keep updating things manually. That defeats the purpose of automatic updating. I want things to go back to normal.When I used the tool: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/windows-update-issues/en-usI have got several errors, all except one of which were fixed. This one issue was about "Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)"I have stopped and restarted this service from services.msc but nothing changed.I have tried all the trivial solutions but none has worked so far. Can anyone help me sort this out ? View this thread
  18. Three of the 4 programs necessary for work WILL NOT run in windows 8. It is not about the new Windows 8 being what I like or don't like. I need to purchase a computer today off the shelf. How do i downgrade to Windows 7 professions from basic windows 8? View this thread
  19. Been through this before. Hoping Susan Bradley can comment.On my system in WU KB2807986 is listed as Important but is not checked for installation, i.e. it is throttled.I thought perhaps on my system it might be related to this re KB2807986: Known issues with this security update In certain automated update deployment scenarios (such as from Windows Update or Microsoft Update), this update may not always install. This would also cause other pending updates not to install. For more information about this issue, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 2552343[/i] ( ) Time-out error occurs when you install a Windows Update package that contains drivers on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 This issue can occur with any windows update package that contains drivers on systems that do not have the critical non-sec GDR update 2552343 installed. We recommend that you install update 2552343 before you deploy this security update. I thought maybe I had not installed KB2552343 and therefore KB2807986 would not be checked. But I have installed KB2552343 when it was released in 2011.Further adding to the confusion is some users are reporting KB2807986 IS checked for installation others are reporting it IS NOT.If this is such an important security update why is MS not checking it for installation? Many users will not install this update because of this. View this thread
