• Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool not doing anything to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

  original title: WHY Windows Update keep up to date USELESS of Windows Defender and installation USELESS malware remover?

  I'm a computer technician who makes a TON of virus remove money from Windows computers.  Two-thirds of my tasks of repair involving the elimination of viruses from Windows and trying to fix the Internet Explorer, the worst browser known to humanity.

  I have a question about Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool.  These are two programs entirely worthless, evidenced by the fact that computers with them installed still get infected of all viruses, Trojan and rootkit out there.  Clearly, if these two programs of malware Microsoft has done anything to protect your computer, it would have been without having to release still a THIRD tool antivirus, "security essentials" for Microsoft.   I'm not complaining — the way Microsoft Windows absorbs malware like a sponge, put a lot of money in my bank account. Please keep doing what you're doing... however...

  My question is, given that Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool doing nothing to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

  Windows defender is not an antivirus program, it is designed to protect against spyware.

  If you don't like them, so do not use them.

• I have installed and uninstalled Windows 10 how to stop this pop-up Windows 10 WHAT GWXUX has stopped working Windows 7

  I have Windows 7 and decided to try Windows 10 so I installed it.

  Quickly, I decided that I didn't like Windows 10 and uninstalled so I could go back to Windows 7.

  Why do I keep getting Windows 10 errors? How to stop this pop-up? "GWXUX has stopped working".

  10 Windows must always hide on my computer. How can I remove ALL 10 Windows from my computer?

  It feels like Microsoft Windows is trying their best to jam Windows 10 in my throat.

  I want to say, "I bite", but don't know which to bite.

  Hello HollyAnn W,.

  I'll do my best to help you solve your problem.

  First, Windows 10 will not acquire for the first year of its release. Then maybe you would like to see again. I understand why you want to stay in Windows 7, but soon MS will stop the support for Windows 7, as they did for XP a couple of years.

  In any case, now that I said to make you aware, I would try this below if you still get the pop up asking if you want to upgrade to Windows 10.

  If you don't know that you do not want to update then please copy the text following that I have which is in italics below and paste it into Notepad.

  The Publisher of the registry Windows Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx]"DisableGwx"=dword:00000001

  Once you have that then go ahead and save it to your desktop and save it under "block 10" or something like that. ""

  Return to your desktop and locate this file and change the extension from .txt to .reg file

  Save it, and then double-click the file. It is to modify the registry to block the upgrade of Windows 10. I use a lot.

  Now that your question, please follow this guide. This is one of the best ways to solve your problem.

• Windows Explorer for Windows 7 - How to stop automatically sort my files

  I have Windows 7.  Explorer Windows automatically sorts my files in each folder.  I put in "sort by..." Name ', so for now he is sorting alphabetically, but no matter what I put in 'Grading', it does it automatically.  But I want to be able to move the files to the folder in different orders, and then once I'm satisfied with the order, then I can change the name of each file and then choose to classify them alphabetically or otherwise.

  For example, this is useful for a folder full of photos.  Let's say I have a folder with 50 photos in there of holiday, and I would like to re - order these photos, but I want to play visually with different orders until I have decide to order, I like most.  So I want to move each file/photo until I like the Decree.  To do this, I would open this particular folder in Windows Explorer, then select the "Large icons" view and then moving the photos until I like order.  And then once I have pictures in the order I want, then I would like to rename each picture (1, 2, 3, etc.) and then Windows Explorer say "sort by...» Nu.  That's how it was on my old computer, but I got XP and now I have Windows 7, but I can't imagine that Windows 7 would not let me do the same thing.  But the way it works for me now, Windows Explorer comes automatically orders/sorts my files depending on the option "sort by" I chose.  So if I change the name of the files (from 'Photo #25' to ' Photo #10 "'), it automatically goes this photo between" Photo #09 "and" Photo #11 ".»»  And if I try to move 'Photo #10' next to say "#37 picture"to see how they look next to each other, it won't let me. "

  so... Is it possible to have Windows Explorer "NOT" sort my files until I have to say?

  Thank you very much!

  See auto arrange links below - it is possible to disable.

  Microsoft has deliberately removed the ability to turn off the auto arrange. Microsoft's response:

  Can I manually organize files in folders?

  Unfortunately when Microsoft Windows Explorer, they made some pretty horrible decisions - which many people complained. There are a lot of other managers of files available, as well free and for a price. One of them might be easier to use and the characteristics you want, here is a list of the most that are available:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_managers

  The classic interface - customize Windows Explorer with features removed (more useful options and info below):

  How to fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane
  See the bottom of this post for help with the bug of scrolling in the left pane.

  The most important features that need to be returned to Windows Explorer:

  (1) the option to turn off the auto arrange.

  (2) fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane: If you view a folder and expand in the left pane to display its subfolders, the folder is annoyingly prefer to the bottom of the component causing the subfolders do not appear, making it difficult to work with.

  (3) when several files are selected they should stay selected when changing the sort order (ex: name of size). Maintenance of the files selected in the sort should be a requirement, and this feature should not have been removed.

  (4) the option to remember the view settings of each folder (Recalling the positions and sizes of the individual folder window).

  (5) the option to remove 'Complete the selection of lines' to see in detail. "Selection of whole lines" is very annoying when the file is complete and has no empty space to click on. Also, when dragging / delete the file to another folder - if you release the on the line of a subfolder or file de.exe/.zip/.rar 'selection of whole lines' causes the file to be moved in the subfolder ou.exe/.zip/.rar instead file the file provided.

  (6) a search engine with all the advanced search options. No required syntax.

  (7) the option to always display free disk size space and record on the State and/or the details pane toolbar. Also always automatically show the size of the selected files (when several files are selected it will not show the total size).

  (8) the ability to scroll the window/pane mouse is with the mouse wheel, even if this window/pane is not selected.

  Inform you want Windows explorers returned Microsoft functions:

  Given that many people seem to agree that some or all of the changes made to Windows Explorer were actually less friendly user, you can go to the Windows 7 comments page and (politely) to let them know your suggestions to improve:

  http://mymfe.Microsoft.com/Windows%207/feedback.aspx?formid=195

  Note: do not have the message that is too long, there is a size limit for your message, even if page does not tell you on this subject. Also, do not just copy and paste from the list above - they'll think that the same person is repeatedly submit comments.

  Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

  After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page.

  A solution that worked for the restoration of some features.

  (1) install the free classic Shell. It's free, completely customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer, rather than a full blown replacement. Personally, I did not fit the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
  (2) restart the computer.
  (3) launch Windows Explorer and turn on "Always show Menus" (it's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you want).
  (4) make a right click on the menu bar and turn in the "Classic Explorer bar. This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
  5) go to the configuration and from there you can edit things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even go more retro and hit return to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders).
  (6) set the parameters of other institutions. I have so that the bit "more details" in the dialogues of copy is automatically extended, I checked the option "display free space and size of the file in the status bar" (no need to right click on the drive to see how much space is left), personally, I decided to stay with the "overwrite file" dialog box Windows 7 style (the default is the simplest dialogue style Vista/XP) , and I went for the Windows Vista style folders display that looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but get rid of the horrible jump.

  After that, you can activate the toolbar and menus walk back to explore if you wish. Explorer Windows seems largely the same, but folders is no longer jumping around.

  Now if only MS allows to code correctly so that we don't have to mess with third-party applications to get Windows actually works...

• How to stop or remove perlinnoise?

  .. then I can add the following image. and use an alpha tween to show. If you test this, (just rename images by image names I use and export to as3 library). You can see that the perlinnoise is continuously existing in the background. Simplicity and test, I'm tweening only two halves of an image that I'm trying, but actually I finally many tween parties (copyPixels) of the original image.

  I'm trying to get this to work because Tween does not work when you try Tween than an index of an array (so I can time differently each index), even if I name each index item in the table.

  Interestingly, enough when I use the loop and set the property of the Rectangle x new ix the bit of code below works to stop the perlin noise. But as soon as I remove the loop, the flag.fillRect (flag.rect, 0); does not work.

  If (newMC2.alpha == 1) {}

  Hello

  Its best to use several methods to ensure that all malicious software is detected and deleted.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
  the cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

• How to stop "FOUND NEW HARDWARE tool"

  Whenever I start up I get the message "FOUND NEW HARDWARE TOOL' up to four 4 times before so I can continue."  How in the heck to I get rid of this.  It is also irritating as my HP printer messages all the time!  LEA

  Hi LEA J.HIGGINS,.

  See the below Microsoft article and try the steps mentioned, check if it helps.

  If the previous step fails, then check in the Device Manager to see if a device does not work or pilot device tries to install at the start.

• How to stop grouping Adobe 'MALWARE' with their updates.

  We must launch a petition to Adobe to stop the McAfee group automatically with each update. Not everyone is tech savvy (including my parents) and I'm sick of helping those who have accidentally install this shit on their machines. If they are unable to stop the group he have at least the box unchecked on the page set up so people can manually check themselves after they read whatever it is if they still want installed. It of bad netiquette and doing business, and it must end now.

  This isn't a good reason for self opt in. There is very little reason to auto opt in anything, especially something unrelated to your software.

  A lot of people do not trust McAfee in particular for many reasons arising from their history of advertising, mediocre ability, wrong size, wrong gear and many other things. Even IF they did a reliable product, flash is too ubiquitous to think that end users do not already have an AV installed.

  Software AV usually don't play well with other AV software, including McAfee and Symantec.

  This also opens the Adobe Flash Installer for Trojans tie so that the portion of McAfee requires a high level of function security. If you think this is a reason for direct downloads, it's not that it would not be a big problem to the Adobe servers target for a feat.

  The latest incarnation of McAfee AV is very buggy and creates its own weird UI with no warning is another very bad question.

  Note that this problem is on top of the already bad issue of the update of flash too often; always use automatic updates is enabled instead of remember the choice of the user; and the additional steps new, horrible to have to go to adobe.com to update while keeping the annoying popup previous installer.

  Thanks for your comments.

  Flash Player is extremely expensive to develop, maintain and distribute.  It requires the effort of a large number of specialized and talented people, and by pushing a single implementation to day consumes approximately 50 petabytes of bandwidth.  To offer Adobe products free bundles represent a necessary cost-recovery mechanism.

  If Adobe had "50 petabytes with a value of bandwidth", they wouldn't need McAfee for advertising revenue they'd already one of the richest companies in the world. Why? Because Google uses only 25 ~ TB of bandwidth, and it would take 2,000 times more than that. Check your knowledge before the representative of your company.

  If you mean that the total amount of data transferred to end users by adobe for an update, then you have another problem, which would be > 1 billion downloaded best!

  If it's so expensive to Adobe to "develop, maintain and distribute" flash drive, maybe Adobe should look to make a few changes:

  • Stop requiring direct downloads (they are irritating and considered dangerous)
    • Deliver via the channels of the torrent/cloud/normal add-on: secure, fast and efficient
  • Rewrite your drive (it's already slow, outdated, bloated, buggy, proven risk security, etc.)
  • Open source (what are you afraid of?) We will steal your crappy code, create a better product in less than a year, know that there are really malware?)

  "bundles represent a necessary cost-recovery mechanism.

  • Explain why you and Oracle are the only two major software providers who do this
  • Is this the reason why you must group an AV program, to mitigate the cost of garbage on the computers of people fed by force?

  To get more technical account users use only your product to avoid legal issues surrounding copyright godawful Adobe Flash there solutions much better flash out there who are in questionable legal territory (although probably safe).
