a window named OpenSoftwareUpdater keeps appearing. What is your product, is it safe to load?

When, on a Web site, a window named OpenSoftwareUpdater keeps appearing. She claims to strengthen and update software, but also States that it is NOT a product where related to Mozilla Firefox. I keep close the popup, but it reappears in a few moments. Is it safe to load or is - this virus/malware or other program?

OpenSoftwareUpdater has nothing to do with Mozilla. Think of it as malware.

  • Updates to Windows KB2844285 and KB2833940 keep appearing

    The above updates keep appearing and update windows history say, they have been installed successfully many times.

    Is this a Microsoft Update site problem or a problem with my pc? Windows xp.

    Tried a few repair Microsoft update tool and it didn't work.

    The yellow shield icon update is constantly in the status bar.

    Hi Andrew. It is a common problem with updates of .NET. Here are the steps I follow

    First try this...

    Download and run the Microsoft .NET Framework repair tool , then visit Windows Update and let it try to reinstall updates. Once it's done, scan again with Windows Update to ensure that they properly installed.

    If this does not fix it try this...
    Try to install the updates manually. Follow the links to the downloads.
    KB2833940 - NDP20SP2-KB2833940 - x 86-.exe
    KB2844285 - NDP20SP2-KB2844285-v2 - x 86-.exe
    Once you have installed, visit Windows Update, let it scan and see if they are still revived.

    If this is not yet it solves, we need to check if you don't have .NET 2.0 or have .NET 2.0 under .NET 3.5. .NET 3.5 installs 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5.

    You can check for their presence in Add or remove programs or download .NET detector, a very small, stand-alone program that displays the versions installed in bold.

    If you don't have .NET 2.0 can do this...

    Uninstall the .NET Framework 2.0.
    Reinstall .NET Framework 2.0
    Visit Windows Update and let it install the rest of the 2.0 updates, including KB2833940 and KB2844285.

    See if that makes the problem disappears.

    If you have .NET 2.0 as part of a .NET 3.5 installation do that...

    Open Add or remove programs, click on .NET 3.5 and choose repair. I didn't get around to check this fix actually .NET 2.0 also, but it's worth it. I do not know if it can also cancel updates already installed .NET. If so, they will reinstall when you perform a Windows update that is the next step after the repair.

    If the repair does not fix it, will add and remove programs and uninstall the .NET Framework 3.5, 2.0, then 3.0.
    Visit Windows Update, choose this first installation and custom scan...

    High priority.
    .

    If it is not under a high priority, see software, optional.

    It must be installed by itself. Windows Update will not let you do otherwise.

    When he did install (I forgot if she asks for a restart or what not), scan again and all updates for .NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 of the .NET .NET must appear. Choose to install.
    A new analysis to ensure that they properly installed.

    If all goes well, that will solve the problems you face.

    Make sure you come back and let us know which method worked for you or if you still have problems, I have to run a cleaning tool.

    Good luck!

    Windows Defender is disabled whenever I turn on my computer. setting has been activated automatically, but a message "windows defender is disabled" keep appearing one whenever I click on it. Help, please. Thank you!

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

    If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...
    Start bittun > in the search box, type services > press ENTER > uac prompt > scroll down and look for Windows Defender...
    under the State ; It must be said Started
    under Startup type : must say automatic
    If this isn't the case, right click on Windows Defender > properties >

  • "Delayed write failed" message keeps appearing to external hard drive (WD passport) and problems with suggest fix kb908673 (register edit).

    I had problems with my WD usb hard drive, where a "delayed write failed" message keeps appearing when the transfer of files to or from it. Among the fixes suggested on the WD support site is a link to kb908673, and this seems to sum up my problem. This fix is included in sp3, I believe, however, the fix indicates that a manual registry editing needs to be done;

    "After you install this hotfix, the following registry subkey is automatically added and configured:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USB\EnSoftRetry

    The registry key is configured with a DWORD value of 1. This value allows the Soft-Retry code path that is used in this hotfix.

    "If you install a later version of the patch (a patch that contains later versions of Usbport.sys and Usbehci.sys), including Windows XP SP3, this registry value not be automatically added and configured. The registry value must be manually added and configured as described above to activate the Soft-Retry code path that is provided in this hotfix. »

    I don't have this registry subkey and have no idea how to do to configure a key to have a DWORD value - I can create as a registry entry DWORD value in this key, but it must be given a name. Should I create a DWORD value called "EnSoftRetry" in the USB, or should I create a DWORD value in the EnSoftRetry key and, if so, what should it be called? Or am I completely misunderstanding something here?
