• I'm operating a windows XP Home Edition with service pack 3. Analysis of essential security of a windows shows that my computer is infected with a virus ' "Trojan horse: back/Alureon.A"»

  In January of this year my computer would freeze, or be very slow in its normal operation. This happened constantly. I tried to verify that my windows update check to be sure that I was getting my automatic updates. I was unable to connect to Windows update, no matter how many times I tried. This never happened before. So, I thought that my inability to connect to verify Microsoft Updates could be related to my computer running at a slow speed and / or gel constantly upward. When the computer froze, the only way to recover was to hit the kill switch and crash the computer. After the reboot, the computer could work normally for a period of minutes and resume again slow down and not to freeze completely upwards. For weeks, a Microsoft Tech person (Kevin) worked with me by e-mail and tried to fix my computer problems. Kevin exerted a lot of patience and accompanied me through a series of steps designed to understand what the problem was and fix it. At the time where we ran a Microsoft Scan (Scan, I believe was the name One) followed by an analysis "HijackThis". Kevin then read the results of analysis and recommended destruction of vast print of HijackThis. This has made some slight improvement to operations.

• For days now, my iPad Air insisted on the fact that it cannot connect to iTunes. Wifi works fine for applications and devices, and I tried all the options on the support page. Nothing has worked. What should I do?

  The time zone is correct, it is signed through "iCloud" in the settings and all the apps work relatively well, including those who are in need of the internet, so the problem is not the internet. However, the Air iPad is more connect to iTunes, it is impossible to update anything. It won't let me reconnect through 'iTunes and App Store' in settings, just tell me that it can't connect to iTunes everytime I try it. I also noticed that Game Center is strange, his page in settings will not be same load and he often delay signing in when I open an application compatible with it. My iOS is updated to 9.3.1. The only thing I can think is that I had to change my password recently, but he had me to login with the new password on the device, and this problem did not show up a few days later. I am at a loss on what to do at this point, and I already tried all suggested fixes Apple support. Are there patches less known who could solve this problem? Or, is this a widespread problem that apple is having this time with their servers?

• Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

  When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

  Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

  Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

  When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

  also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

  Hello jabeena, welcome.

  This section would apply in fact to the Windows Live programs, but we'll see what we can do to help out you.

  I recommend to try this first:

  1. disable any antivirus software or security, you have running on your computer. Looking for software to disable that contains a firewall.

  2. click on START
  3. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
  4 type the following and press enter

  Regsvr32 softpub.dll wintrust.dll initpki.dll

  5. then type the following command and press enter

  netsh winsock reset

  6. restart your computer and see what happens.

  I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista

  Hello

  How to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
