  You have disabled AVG before you run the removal tool?

  You will also be able to stop AVG by disabling startup items.

  To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
   http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

  With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

  Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

• I've been doing a series of phone calls telling me that my license key for my Windows is about to expire. Is it a reality or just somone trying to rip me off?

  Last week to 10 days, I received lots of calls from someone called PC Support (which sound as if they come from the India) telling me that they want to access my PC to show me the problems that are reported to them from my ISP about something and real operating system Windows on the license key is about to expire.

  I suspect that it is a new scam to try to sell the product, anti-virus/malware any... but it got me wondering whether or not it is a real-world scenario.

  Can someone me one way or another?

  Thank you.

• problem Windows xp and avg internet security

  Program AVG Internet Security - AVG PC Tune Up - changed/corrupted my Windows Defragmenter program.  Before downloading the free version of this Tune Up program that I had always used the drive Windows Cleanup and Defragmenter programs. When I now try to defragment my files I get the following message when I try to analyse the "Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c). Please run Chkdsk/f.

  AVG 2 offer help options a) contact Microsoft) b computer restoration to date before you download Tune Up.

  Do not use my computer for anything else on internet purchases, store my pictures, my banking and the strange E-mail but does not want to resume a year.  All of the suggestions. I have disinstalled program AVG PC Tune Up months trying to make my computer run faster.  AVG informed me that my security bought 18 month program there is need the upgrade and that is why its doing all my programs so slow.  I don't have any computer talk or knows anything much about them (code of machine 20 years ago!)

  (a) contacting Microsoft won't help you
  (b) restore your computer won't help you

  The problem is your HARD drive has been marked "sale" and you cannot defragment a dirty volume.

  Your HARD drive may have been marked dirty of a power interruption, using the power button, pulling the plug, abnormal termination, aborted reboot, etc..

  You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open the command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type this command:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

  No amount of order entry, no amount of editing the registry deletes the on a volume's dirty bit (sorry that Microsoft committed 'experts' Support Engineer)

  Only a chkdsk with error correction (chkdsk/r) can clear the dirty bit, and it might not work the first time.

  To run chkdsk/r, click on start, run and enter in the box:

  Chkdsk /r

  Click OK and the answer you want volume checked on next reboot (restart of course).

  This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.  You may need to run more than once.

  When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you have chosen to do it yourself, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log and no problems after running chkdsk.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Description:

  Checking file system on C:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.
  A disk check has been programmed.
  Windows will now check the disk.
  39070048 KB total disk space.
  25151976 KB in 78653 files.
  48256 KB in 10264 index.
  0 KB in bad sectors.
  237080 KB in use by the system.
  65536 KB occupied by the log file.
  13632736 KB available on disk.
  Windows has finished checking your disk.

  If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, run chkdsk /r again until you see no error.  You should have no errors.

  Check again the dirty bit.  Rinse and repeat if you wish.

• AVG Internet Security maintains the 'blocking' Windows updates

  I am running Windows XP Home SP3 on my machine. I recently pushed a rootkit/trojan infection. My AVG Internet Security v9 is running and updated very well... something which it did in a month because of the infection. My Windows Firewall and automatic updates are enabled. (Which is also disabled during infections). I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded/installed the critical updates 43 (the infection had turned off automatically updated). However all the time I download and install the updated my AVG kept popping up with a deadlock message:

  'au.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/crup/2012/07_467626d3805abcce3d926b85d8928a20d5edc05b.exe '.

  (I continued to close the notification window and download or install updates. Each of them went through).

  My Windows security shield has an exclaimation point on this subject.

  Is it is a sort of conflict between AVG and update of Windows?

  Please HELP... it makes me craaaaazy since it appears every 20 seconds or so!

  Thank you very much

  LuniLadi

  Anoop P K,.

  Thanks for the suggestion on disabling the antivirus! I didn't turn off the whole program (which would be 'reisdent shield' on AVG). I have disabled the internet part (shield online) since it pops up constantly during the update downloads.

  Sure enough... that did the trick. Updates downloaded and installed.

  This part of the virus program is turned back on.

  So far so good. Automatic updates seems to be to download and install without any interference of AVG Internet Security.

  Thank you for taking the time to help.

• Question on the evaluation version of Vista... Help, please! IT IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE!

  We bought your desktop for more than a year in a popular electronics store (not to mention the name of privacy). He had to come with Vista Home Premium already installed. We ended up taking the display model because it was the last computer they had left (the brand was on sale). To make a long story short, they don't sell us a computer with real Vista on it. This is an evaluation version. We had no idea that this thing is real only two days ago, when we started to receive messages saying it was about to expire. I called the store where we bought it, and they basically told me too bad, they couldn't help me. Another store that sells Microsoft said it was illegal for them have sold us a computer with a trial not authorized on this issue and that they should be forced to fix. But they won't.

  So here we are, with a copy that is about to expire in 2 days and I have no idea what to do with it. I said I can't upgrade, either, without destroy everything on this computer, because this isn't an approved evaluation copy.

  I followed the instructions on other posts here which seemed to be on the registration of copies of assessment. After going through the entire process, it told me that my copy is not valid and cannot be enabled at all.

  Anyone know what I can do about it?

  Thank you!

  You can't put an active, non-genuine Vista operating system.

  Your problem is with store management; get back in touch with them as soon as possible.

  See you soon.

  How can I delete AVG free security my computer it won't let me

  Hello

  Login as an administrator.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put it - right click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

  AVG removal tools
  http://www.Avg.com/ww-en/download-tools

  =====================================

  You need antivirus then here is what I recommend - using the same method as above to install a.

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
  Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

  Avast 5.0 seems to be to use few additional resources for other (always leave Standard, Web and network shields
  race) so that you can disable those not necessary but there seems to be little reason to do so. Double
  Click the Orange icon to get to the settings.
  Avast 4.8 - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
  (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
  http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
  a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
  Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
  a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• Changing to a new computer from vista to windows 7. My file transfer and deletion of personal information, including files from my old computer for security reasons

  I'm about to change my old computer (windows vista) to a new all-in - one computer that has windows 7. Am I right in thinking that I can transfer my files incl. photos to an external hard drive and then plug that to my new download or is it more than that. Also, I have macafee protection on my old computer and don't know how to transfer to my new one cos I don't think that's it (we bought it second hand on ebay), and this should be done first.

  Finally how to make sure that none of my personal information is nowhere on my old for security reasons?

  I would appreciate any advice, thanks

  Several options;

  (1) simple, connect you external hard drive copy data

  Or use the backup software which may be preinstalled on the outside

  (2) for easy transfer Windows http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/Products/features/Windows-Easy-Transfer

  Old PC;

  The windows recovery discs to retrieve destructively to factory settings

  McAfee

  Uninstall on the old PC to the new PC, uninstall any trial version pre-installed anti-virus, reboot, reinstall McAfee from original installation media using your key

  New PC

  Make sure that it has been reset to the State of the plant, before you do something with it, because you don't know what the previous user used during or installed on it.

• Why you forced on us, VoIP with Firefox Hello! Now, I am forbidden to use this browser in the workplace for "security reasons." Stupid...

  Updated Firefox today, according to demand. We are supposed to keep up to date for security reasons. Last update unfortunately undesirable characteristic strength, Hello Firefox. Which my report manager is not exactly "part of a standard web browser.

  We have taken steps to turn it off, for now. But this is an obtrusive security breach, in which was a browser. Do not return to the time of Netscape, where everything is packaged in, or you'll lose me, on my place of work and at home too. Stick to be a good browser.

  With an internet connection, there are many opportunities for an employee to engage in any work activities with a browser, or otherwise.

  On this forum, we are only fellow Firefox users. We see developers almost never post on the forum. I suggest that looking at another Mozilla forum or mailing list to ask this question because we cannot discuss Firefox development policies and decisions here.
