    Hello

    You have XP that your Thread appears in Windows_XP - Windows_Update Forum at the web address?

    You should only get the malicious software removal tool every month now as Support for XP ended in April.

    If you do not want to get this:

    Click Start > right click on my computer > click Properties > click on the "Automatic updates" tab at the top of the system than appeard Properties window > click the option box for "disable automatic updates > apply and OK your way out.»

    See you soon.

  • Sanchez took control of my ipad.  Can not turn it off or take control of the centre; any suggestions?

    How can I get access to my ipad.  Seri is active and I can't stop the machine to restart. Cannot get to the control panel.  The screen is black and Seri will speak and react, but can not get the program to terminate.  Help

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

  • Can not see the plan network and Control Panel

    Windows 7 64 bit, I can't show my control panel.  The window does not load.  First of all, I had trouble with page load network and Internet.  Now it crashes when I try to open it.  My most recent change was the installation of a new firewall.  I just wanted to see if I should add anything whatsoever to the title of the secure networks.

    I can now display the network map.  After the installation of the station, I stopped and restarted.  The system should have distinguished between that and a reboot.  Thank you.
