  • Update of reported to the need by MBSA in the United States Europe browser choice

    We need each month of security reports on our computers for security audits. This process is the race of MBSA on them. MBSA has early reports various computers such as demanding KB976002, the update of the European Microsoft browser choice. Each month, we will have 1 or 2 additional computers reporting like that suddenly in need. A branch shows all except a title in need. It started with one who need a year ago.

    We're under XP SP3 on all computers. All are in the United States in the midwest. All of them are desktop computers and are never has left the buildings and the country. All have everything in the set of locales in the United States, English or English (United States). All of them are on the correct time zone. If we run Microsoft Update, it does NOT show the update as being necessary. MBSA only shows and only on some computers.

    Our security audit of the sort reports now see the numerouse computers as being "At risk", by MBSA reports. How do we get this corrected?

  • KB976002 (browser choice app) uninstall on Windows 8

    well, I had this coming... so I hid this pointless update, but after installation of Media Center on my Windows 8 Pro KB976002 is installed with the WMC or after that (in which case my "hide" obtained order ignored) - either way, it's a MS messup side, not the user

    However, the biggest problem is that this bloody update can not be uninstalled by conventional means - in the section windows updates, there is not an uninstall option, the app has not an uninstall option, run wusa.exe/uninstall kb:976002 gives me the finger saying update can not be removed , because IT IS NECESSARY (Please make me laugh more)

    Please tell me how KB976002 can be uninstalled (and no, I do not accept "it cannot be" for a response)-unfortunately I do not have a system restore date to get rid of this embarrassing piece of...

    THX,

    I can´t MS belive still does these things. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run and remove the entry from the browser choice.

  • Configuration of the browser for Smartphones blackBerry Internet Browser Choice only?

    I've just updated to the new OS. I tried to upgrade an application, and he said that I had to use the BB browser. I went to change the config in the browser and now I have no options but the Internet browser. Before I had the choice of IE, Firefox, and BB. I got it on IE the last time I was in the Config of the browser. I press the menu key and tap internet browser and still no option. I tried to find a solution for this but had no luck so far. Any suggestions?

    Hi and welcome to the Forums...

    What version update you? There are different versions for different carriers.

    You did pass, go in the browser,

    BBKey > Options > browser Configuration

    If so, this selection of albums has only two. More below on this page is "Browser Identification", where you can select FF or IE.

    Hope that helps!

  • Choice of the browser downloaded on my computer I deleted it (thinking it was the virus) but now problems

    I use IE7 on a Windows XP Home Edition computer. The other day I noticed a new icon on my desk, 'browser choice '. This thought was a virus or something of mischievous I deleted all records related to the it search in the start menu option. However, since the deletion, I get the icon in my task bar that updates are ready to be installed, which is "Browser Microsoft Choice screen Update for users of the EEA of Windows XP (KB976002)". When I try and install the update, it gives me an error message saying that there can be no error code: 0x800F0102. This update comes on my computer every time I turn it on now and it seems to be very slow. I tried to restore my computer to a start time, but it does make a difference. I also did a virus scan and malware. Can someone help me solve the problem any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Thank you very much I did all that, fingers crossed! Thanks again.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Can you change default browser Bing?

    I noticed that when I click on the logo of the Web browser and search the internet, she is treated by bing.  I clicked on the gray area of browser and lists Bing, Wikipedia, and Dictionary.com.  I went to 'Advanced Options' and clicked on browser.  You can choose BlackBerry browser, internet browser, or hot.   I don't see an option to enter and save my ie Google browser choice.   Any thoughts?  I appreciate it...

  • 3 installs without permission

    WIN XP SP3 - black month not yet installed Tuesday.

    32 - bit

    Running Essentials dry with the Windows Firewall.  All traces of previously installed AV etc removed with suitable tools and advice of experts registry entries. All auto updates inform only.

    Three updates concerned-

    KB2158563 - summer time

    KB952287 - link in Add/Remove information showed this was Silverlight - link to MS updates the page showed that for MDCA.

    KB976002 V5 - has shown in Add/Remove of Silverlight, but the link from there for more information gave me the choice of the browser of the Euro.

    Around 19:00 yesterday [14 October], I started the computer and immediately got the browser choice window.  Read and rejected that I change it.  I expect monthly updates as I expected them as friends etc. had already got their.  No yellow shield.

    When I went to Stuttgart down, upward came the little info thing say updates will be installed when I stop.  I cancelled and I went back and saw no yellow shield.  I looked into the Security Center and found me horror that the setting was dll and install on fully automatic.  I reset to inform only.

    Then, I went into Add/Remove and seen that the above three KB numbers were there.  I deleted all three and removed their entries in C: Windows.

    Restarted by avoiding any download - found that the 976002 was backagain.

    It seems that this is not uninstalable.

    Why were these three able to install, why was my choice of update to notify altered.

    In the past, I have seen my previous questions, where are they now.

    Thank you

    According to the result obtained by the site of the CSA in your Mac OS and browser choice

    You can watch in various previous posts and stories in many different ways.

    Roy Bradshaw - content, if you choose Authored: (link details obscured by name)

    Roy Bradshaw - written (by name of use available if connected) on this basis, where

    the link I used is obscured by its name, Authored vs participation shows the other.

    Roy Bradshaw - participated. Some of them can be used if you know the user

    the name, because in offline or not connected to search for content. In the contrary case a prompt

    seems to say the content access is denied, unless you connect.

    https://discussions.Apple.com/Search.jspa?q=Roy+Bradshaw "space research" by

    Date or various settings that you can set. I found to switch between the timeline is

    a way to reveal more / or less. Elements for quite awhile there are missing.

    Other elements is not if a long time are too; be edited, or if a thread has been

    deleted and so was my answer to another question from the user, etc.

    You can spend some time back and change settings (as I did my)

    Search to see where are the messages or topics in my story.)

    Not sure if that helps, because some aspects of the CSA and Jive vary in use

    Depending on the browser and the OS X version. At the moment, I am search & display
