• What antivirus and malware is most suitable for XP?

  OK, I was able to get both of my computers to the top and working again. I always try to understand, what combination of anti-Virus and Malware is most suitable for XP. I have the family and professional edition. Service Pack 2. Thank you

  "

  Regardless of which version of Windows you are running, for a
  antivirus, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
  to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
  run several) of the following three:
   
  Avira AntiVir
  Avast
  Microsoft Security Essentials
   
  You have also the anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
  (both freeware) to install MalwareBytes AntiMalware and
  SuperAntiSpyware.

  Microsoft security essentials is antivirus and antispyware product. no need for a separate anti-spyware software.

  Microsoft security essentials is the best option.

• I'm downloading Panda Antivirus and it tells me to remove Microsoft Antivirus before installing. How do I do that?

  I'm downloading Panda Antivirus and it tells me to remove Microsoft Antivirus before installing. How do I do that?

  What is the exact name of "Microsoft Antivirus"?

  If it is called Microsoft Security Essentials...

  Start > in the search box, type programs and features > press the Enter key > scroll down until you find Microsoft Security Essentials > right click it > click on uninstall.

  If I may say so *.
  Microsoft Security Essentials is free and is a good program.
  Panda Antivirus is a program, you must PURCHASE it.
  No particular reason, you want to buy an AV when there are FREE programs that will do the job?

• Fresh install Vista Home Basic - updates failed, Progs do not install, error, error, error! Why?

  Home awhile, its infuriating! Fresh installation using recovery disks on-line manufacturer on a disk that is not partitioned. Active but will not install updates and applications such as avast antivirus and it not install ms office.  Nothing but errors.  Have tried absolutely everything, including independent installers for essential applications and always error.  Can someone please tell me why or how the these persistent problems can be solved?  The only thing I can think is that the laptop was sold with Vista Basic initially, but the new recovery discs, ordered and received from Fujitsu for this model were sp1 Vista Basic?  The diskettes of origin provided by the store at the time of the purchase were defective.

  Any advice?

  Hi SteveGjorkes,

  ·         Do you receive an error message/code?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         You are able to install some other updates without any problems?

  Before windows updates, follow these methods.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Restart the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
