  • Can I have Windows Defender and Avast on the same computer?

    If I have Windows Defender, I need avast on my computer too?

    Hello

    Yes, Windows Defender is an antispyware program if you need an antivirus as well.

    --------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    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.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

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

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

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

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE 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 was a given a Dell Dimension 5150 has a few years by my boss that was running Windows XP Edition family.

    Shortly after, I decided that Windows 7 Home Premium was the way to go forward.

    I bought a new copy of this operating system via Amazon UK and installed from one of the disks in the pack.

    I was more than satisfied with it until last weekend.

    The computer's power supply has no a way dramatic and chips to the motherboard and processor irreparably.

    The screen and keyboard but I have not been able to test the hard drive yet.

    Looks like I'm going to buy a new computer to replace.

    I saw that there is an option to buy a "bare bones" system installed PC with no operation.

    Could someone confirm that I can install the operating system of my disks in Windows 7 Home Premium without having to buy another copy of the software?

    Thanking you in advance.

    Well, Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade of transfer rights, but since its a license upgrade, the computer you transfer must have a license of qualification prior to (Windows Vista or XP).

    You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

    I have Windows 7 * 32 bit running in my computer. But a lot of games that is built on 64-bit do not work in my system. I tried to install Windows 7 * 64 Bit on another partition of my computer. But before the start of the system using the Windows 7 installation DVD, I get an error with the oxc00000e9 status. The info says: unexpected i/o error has occurred.

    My question is whether it can run Windows 7 * 32-bit and Windows 7 * 64-bit on the same computer. If so, how to install the Windows 7 * 64-Bit? Thank you.

    Yes, you can, but you will need to have a permit for it if you plan to have both on the same computer.

    the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 is designed to drive 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely. If you want to install Windows 7 32 or 64 bit on another partition or another computer, you must purchase an additional license.

    INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.

    a. one copy per computer. You can install one copy of the software on a single computer. This computer is "licensed computer.

    b. a computer license. You can use the software on up to two processors of the computer under license at some point. Except as provided in these license terms, you cannot use the software on any other computer.

    c. number of users. Except as provided in these license terms, only one user may use the software at a time.

    d. other Versions. The software may include several versions, such as 32-bit and 64-bit. You may install and use only one version at a time.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 and Ubuntu on the same partition?

    I'm a grad student and for my studies I need to ubuntu and Windows the long withit. Unfortunately in my laptop that only one partition is free. I would like to install Ubuntu inside Windows. Is this possible?

    No, this isn't a plausible scenario, the two operating systems use different file systems, Windows 7 uses NTFS and Ubuntu uses ext4.  Even if they use a common file system, it would still not be recommended.  If you have enough free space on the disk, you can shrink the partition, and then create a new partition on free space for Ubuntu, note that it still may be a bit difficult to implement correctly, you must have a knowledge base of the operation between the MBR and the boot so that it works correctly on the same hard disk.

    Have you considered installing Ubuntu in a virtual environment in Windows 7?  I think that this may be a better option.  Personally, the engine virtual without going I prefer VirtualBox , but some prefer VMware Player , which is also very popular.

  • How to install windows server 2012 and windows 7 or 8 on the same computer

    Hi, I want to install windows 7 or 8 and on the same computer that I want to install windows server 2012 or 2008 I have not decide which one to buy again, and my question is, at the time where there was windows xp and windows me (x 9) for example, you must install first as millennial basic then install xp on another partition in my case I want to know is - it possible to do it without the virtual machine, and if this is the case, which windows must be installed first as the basis...

    Thanks a lot for taking time reading this, looking forward to your reply...

    You will need to ensure that the old version of Windows is installed first of all, in this case (Windows 7), then you can install Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 after on logical partitions. Please see the following:

    See the following for how to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8 (the same principles can also apply to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012)

    How dual boot Windows Vista/7 and Windows 8

    If you plan to have all three installed, make sure that configure you partitions in advance with ample space for all three.

  • Can I install Acrobat 9 Pro (with a valid serial number) on a second computer?

    I have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on my Windows 7 computer and have a serial number valid. I had the program installed and running on a Windows XP computer as well, but I took it off the coast of this computer when I stopped using it. I downloaded Acrobat 9 to a new Windows 7 computer, but I was not able to install it. Is is possible to use Acrobat 9 Pro on two computers and if so, how? Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hello

    Ideally, Acrobat 9 is not compatible with the windows 9. You can send the link to the same thing.

    ucts.html https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/Policy-Pricing/System-Requirements-Acrobat-Family-prod

    However if you are able to use it, you can go ahead and use it. It could create problems.

    It is possible to use any version of Acrobat on two systems on the same platform at the same time.

    You must simply download Acrobat and serialize using the same serial number. Adobe allows two facilities for a license of Acrobat that could be installed on a different machine, be it laptop or a desktop computer, but they should be on the same platform.

  • Can I download, activate, and use Adobe Cloud on 2 SSD on the SAME computer?

    Hello-

    I have an Early 2009 Mac Pro with two separate disk with operating system drives bootable. A bootable disk drive is for general use.  This disc also contains the program Adobe cloud and all downloaded programs. The other (new) disk drive is ONLY dedicated to my audio and video programs and is kept clean and well optimized. However, I still have to download Adobe Cloud on it. So here's my question. Can I store and use Adobe cloud and all its programs on TWO startup disk drives located on the SAME computer? Obviously I can only boot to a hard drive at a time. (Eventually, I'll remove Adobe Cloud & programs on the bootable disc General once I am convinced that everything is installed and configured correctly on the second, devoted by car.)

    Thank you.

    Number of activations of CC is based on the Machine ID & the Adobe ID, with which it is connected.

    So, I think that if the machine ID is same & Adobe ID is same so you can use CC on even 2 SSD from the same computer.

    It would be preferable to the expert opinion by contacting the Adobe Support via Contact Customer Care.

  • It is essential to disable CS6 apps when a new DISK is used, with a new facility? (on the same computer)

    Hi guys,.

    I have CS6 Production Premium installed on my old iMac (in a "traditional HD)"

    Now, I've added a new SSD for my (now former) machine

    My plan is to do a new installation for the system and all my applications on this new SSD, including those from Adobe.

    My question is: it is necessary to DISABLE the CS6 apps on my old HD before you install and activate these apps on my new SSD? Or is not needed? (later, once I check that everything goes great with my new SSD, my plan is to erase and format the old HD to use it as a department store)

    I ask this question because I read as 'Deactivation' is necessary when you switch from an old computer to a new one. But on this case, the computer is the same, it's just a new DISK SSD that will be used for the system and applications.

    Thank you! :-)

    Activating puts a 'mark of use' in the Adobe database... you are allowed only TWO active activations... so if you enable one, your 2nd install use then your activation allowed 2nd... where is indifferent (new drive in the same computer or on a different computer) only the fact that activation adds a 'brand usage' in database activation
