I am using Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7. I noticed today that two of my older definition updates in March, one had failed and one said cancelled. It has done updates fine since this date but I am concerned that these missing updates will leave my system unsafe. I cannot see another update with the same reference number downloaded at a later date, which is very often what happens if a windows update fails. View this thread

My computer has slowed over a couple years. i've had help to increase memory and upgraded my internet speed. the person who dealt with the memory recommended MSE noting that lately McAfee has been becoming burdensome for many computers. Seems every time i sit at my PC, McAfee is either running an untimely scan, or automaticly updating. Not sure if i should make the switch to MSE even if it is free. View this thread

My Microsoft Security Essentials "History" is blank. No "Quarantined Items". No "Allowed Items". No "All Detected Items". The scan is run every day. Seems to me there should be some History Settings: Full Scan daily - Check for the latest virus and spyware definitions before running a scheduled scan Limit CPU usage during scan to 50% Update - today Is there something wrong ?

I have this problem with my Acer Laptop. I bought it brand new with Windows * pre-installed and no DVD with Windows 8 to try and repair it. What happens is: from time to time, after certain windows updates complete the Windows dies instantly and shows an error: "Windows has encountered an error and shut down to prevent any damages. Press any key to restart. "When I press any key as it says, another error comes up and says: "Sorry, no boot device found! Retry!" I retry and I get the same error message forever. If I really want to use the laptop I have to restart manually from the power button. But all my open pages, files and folders and all the unsaved work are gone and I have to start over.How can I fix this? Thanks. View this thread

Hello everyone, I've just upgraded my PC (almost a full build - new motherboard, processor, memory and graphics card) and done a clean installation of Windows Vista Home Premium x64, but I'm finding it impossible to update windows and therefore make use of it! :-( When I try it does a few updates but then gives the error message "Windows Modules Installer stopped working and was closed", the update does nothing for a while and then my PC reboots. Windows then tries to find a solution to the problem, giving the error dialogue below: "Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 2057 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 24 BCP1: 00000000001904AB BCP2: FFFFF980120C8418 BCP3: FFFFF980120C7DF0 BCP4: FFFFF98000950EB2 OS Version: 6_0_6000 Service Pack: 0_0 Product: 768_1 Files that help describe the problem: C:WindowsMinidumpMini041313-01.dmp C:UsersLiamAppDataLocalTempWER-72166-0.sysdata.xml C:UsersLiamAppDataLocalTempWER3561.tmp.version.txt" If I then try to restart my computer it tries to install the updates while Windows is trying to shut down, but after a while it blue screens. My computer build is as follows: CPU - AMD Athlon II X3 450 GPU - XFX AMD Radeon HD 7850 1GB Memory - 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866MHz Hard Drive - 1TB Samsung HD103UJ Motherboard - Gigabyte 970A-DS3 I was so excited to try out my new PC build, I'd love to be able to get this problem sorted! Any help you guys can offer would be fantastic! Liam View this thread

Latest windows XP update, NVIDIA GeForce 6200, caused my computer to lock-up. It did not install, and I did a system restore in order to get the computer running again. Now windows update wants to install it again. I don't want to go through this again. Any Help? View this thread

Hi I am running windows 8 64 bit and am unable to do update kb2822241 . It downloads and installs but when I restart the pc it does not accept the update and informs me it is reverting to previous version . I have run the troubleshooter that tells me it is repaired but after updating does exactly the same. Many thanks Stu View this thread

Since applying the latest round of Microsoft patches on April 11th 2013, every time my Win 7 Pro 64-bit workstations restart, they want to do a disk check, and the system log registers an error event ID 55, source NTFS, "The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unuseable..." If the user allows the disk check to happen, it takes maybe five minutes, finds no problems, then the OS finishes loading and everything seems fine. If the user elects to skip the disk check, the same thing happens--OS loads, everything groovy. Either way, the next restart again calls for the disk check. I tried running a full chkdsk /R on one system, but that found no problems and did not clear the need for a disk check either. This began with the first restart after installing the updates a couple days ago, and affects all or nearly all my Win 7 systems. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas on which update caused it or how to get rid of this seemingly frivolous disk check on every boot? View this thread

It's happened a few times now. Windows updates (Win 8 pro x64) are restoring the Podcasts Library (which I have deleted previously), and also restore the "Recent places" and "Downloads" favourite shortcuts in explorer, which I also have deleted previously. It's just a bit annoying; I see no reason for it. View this thread

The new WP 7.8 update has just landed in the UK so I wanted to update my Nokia Lumia 710. However, every time I request the update it does to comply, reading that the update has failed. The error code is 80070424. I have tried various fixes from the Microsoft website and they all seem to be able to identify and issue with the Windows Update system but cannot fix it!? Restarted phone and computer, looked on various forums and everything has been unsuccessful. Please help me! View this thread

I had a lot of trouble getting two security updates to install. This one keeps being presented and then failing after it was shown in the update history as successful. I searched installed updates and it does not appear so it must be corrupt. What now? View this thread

Windows update installed this update kb2823324 on patch Tuesday and I have no problems. The latest bulletin I received from Microsoft said to uninstall it, I did and there was no difference so I reinstalled it and nothing bad has been going on. Will it hurt anything to leave it installed? View this thread

I was asked if i wanted to add features to windows 8 to which i agreed, as i had just paid for another app. The update ended up with the black screen of death, so i refreshed the system with my disk as there was nothing else i could have done under the circumstances.But my question really, is i have lost everything except documents. How do i go about re registering windows office 2010, because apparently i have exceeded the amount of times that this program can be installed. Plus i have paid for about 6 apps, how can i get these back again, because i am a little worried that it was the purchase of windows 8 audio and video player, that screwed things up really bad also i have lost windows media center that i paid forBecause of third parties being involved, it makes it even harder to validate M/s apps and programs. I really think there has to be some accountability here, it is no use just saying we are sorry, it is a real cop out. When is M/s going to recognize that there are some serious issues with windows 8 and create a fix for all these glitches of a service pack or something.Sorry if i sound frustrated because i am really and not thinking straight, as it has taken me ally day to get everything running again, with wireless programs etc. But hey any help would be gratefully received, as my money is hard earned and i just cant afford new programs. Cheers Bill. View this thread

I'm using the same software, the same hardware that I've been using for months. the only thing that has changed is Windows blasted updates.I've read similar issues on the internet and one fellow suggested that the file SPLWOW64.exe can be stopped and that may resolve the problem. The first time I stopped this file, I was then able to use photoshop without the hangs which follow every freeken click in the program. However, Windows simply reinstalls that file and runs it every time a program that can print is started. Subsequently, stopping the file 'SPLWOW64.exe doesn't solve the problem. Note the problem has NOTHING to do with printing as I am not attempting to print anything. View this thread
