Cannot determine or find out whether there are well on my system that may be predefined, causing access problems

On Windows 2000 Professional SP4 o/s with IE 6, I am trying to locate any firewall, which can be on my system.  So far, I found none. I have not installed some.  I looked for answers on Microsoft.com (re: Windows XP has a built-in built in firewall is not enabled by default), but no information on Win2000Pro presenting one like that. Before the firewall issue, I thought that it may have been a virus or an anti-virus running program, causing a problem.  My pc is virus-free and I'm not now running an anti-virus program.  I have reset temporarily lower than usual security levels, but it was not the cure.  In addition, to exclude from spyware and adware.  Don't have these installed or running.  I'm currently not in a corporate network or home.  It's just a pc.  I can't get the game online, I want to play to load completely.  My Java is up to date and works fine without pop - ads or blockers interfere. (I ran the Java which tests and is ok) The support for the suggested site care service that I am behind a firewall.  How can I know for sure if this is what is happening with my pc?  Is it possible that there is an internet firewall also?  Can I play other games on this site with little or no problem, which suggests that it is a problem on their end? Also, I have run a performance scan, active disk defragmentation, no file corrupted, run Registry clean, run Disk Cleanup of the files of the irrational, ran chkdsk/f during reboot and no problem found, deleted IE temporary file browser and erasing temporary files Java.  In addition, my o/s and IE browser is supported by their system.  So now what?  I am open to suggestions and any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Although there are many commercial software programs that claim to clean up registry problems, it is often uncertain of the truth. Windows itself has all these programs?

    Laptop Toshiba using Windows 8.

    Hello

    First of all, a great thing about registry cleaning is it isn't and shouldn't be a computer maintenance task. Clear the cache and cookies of your browser every week? Great, nothing wrong here. Your favorite registry database run cleaner each week? NOT BIG.

    If we're here to be honest and direct, cleaning the registry is a completely pointless thing to do. So far, what I've said makes it sound like I despise the registry cleaners. I do? No, I do not despise them, but as I said, they are not necessary and if used carelessly can make your operating system a Clipboard.

    Then why would you even use a registry cleaner in the first place? Well, they're doing something right or they would not even be allowed to (if paid) sales or if they were free (CCleaner for example) there will be a huge game, more than what it already is in IT, regarding the opinions based on registry cleaners.

    Cleaning software to register is useful mainly for one thing and it may very well be made according to the algorithm uses the cleaner software itself, and which is to remove remnants of uninstalled old software or entries including path names now not valid. Sometimes it can be possibly useful for removing traces of malware that may have been stored in the registry that was not properly deleted after you run an analysis antivirus, etc..

    Other that that, it won't do anything. It will not increase the performance of your system by any means whatsoever. Nothing notable. A "register of small" in theory would one assume that the things load faster, etc, but in reality, there no performance difference either.

    For reference, take a look at this:

    Mark Russinovich (author of the co-founder of 'Bible', Windows Internals, Winternals and Sysinternals, and that both companies were bought by Microsoft, now a senior employee of Microsoft) asked:

    Hi Mark, do you really think that registry junk left by uninstalled programs could severely slow down the computer? I would like to 'hear' your opinion.

    His answer:
    No, even if the registry was massively bloated there will be little impact on the performance of something else comprehensive research.

    On Win2K Terminal Server systems, however, there is a limit on the total amount of registry data that can be loaded and so large profile hives can limit the number of users that can be simultaneously connected.

    I did not and never will implement a registry cleaner since it's of little practical use on anything other than Win2K terminal servers and developing one that is safe and effective requires a huge amount of application-specific knowledge.

    So, to summarize all this:

    Q: Using a registry cleaner will increase the speed and/or the performance of my system?

    A: N °

    ----

    Q: Why I even use a registry cleaner then?

    A: Personally, I wouldn't use an any and would find the problem you are expressly have and handle manually. It is much safer. However, the main use of registry cleaners is to delete again as mentioned above, software remains of old uninstalled or entries including path names now invalid. Sometimes it can be possibly useful for removing traces of malware that may have been stored in the registry that was not properly deleted after you run an analysis antivirus, etc..

    ----

    Q: What is the real danger to use a registry cleaner?

    A: You must remember that you use is an automated tool that is not perfect by any means. You put your trust in an automated tool to be absolutely sure that it is about to remove all keys is 100% useless. At certain times and I saw him personally myself a LOT, it can remove a very important key, which is necessary for the functionality of your operating system in one form or another.

    Q: What happens if my registry is corrupt, running a registry cleaner will help?

    A: Absolutely not.

    Hey Stella-50,

    How slow is slow? For example, my machine (e-machine E4264 2.2 ghz with 2 GB RAM) boots in 95 seconds. For me, I call it, in the average. I am currently in the process of looking for a new machine because it is already 3 years old, so maybe that OEN will be slightly faster to start.

    What you can 'turn off' will depend on which in fact initially launches upward and, unfortunately, you have not told us that at this moment. Is that you should not disable your anti software anti-virus (updater). nothing to do with your mouse and your keyboard etc.

    Perhaps, if you made a list of what application are actually being run at startup (via the msconfig Startup tab) can someone take a look at them and see if, or what can be disabled.

    Otherwise, you might take a glance at Startup Delayer http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay to see if you can delay the time different applications load to allow windows to start up more quickly. I haven't used so I can't say how good/bad it is.  It's a freeware.

    Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will boot Mac running Snow Leopard or earlier. He cannot start Mac that came with Lion or later preinstalled, however, DW will work on these models.

    Suggestions for OS X maintenance

    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are supposed to take place on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Maintenance scripts that are run at the beginning AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep). If this isn't the case, then a great solution is to download and install a shareware like Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacronor Anacron utility that will automate the maintenance regardless of whether activity if the computer is off or asleep.  Dependence on third-party utilities to run periodic maintenance scripts has been significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have little or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later version, and must not be installed.

    OS X automatically defrags files smaller than 20 MB in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files it little need to defragment the hard drive.

    Under no circumstances should you install operating MacPaw or ZeoBit software (CleanMyMac/CleanMyDrive or Mac Keeper, respectively.) You don't need special software to keep your computer.

    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

    Difficulty a few pop ups browser that supported Safari

    Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

    Quit Safari

    Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

    Relaunch Safari

    If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

    It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed Mac Guide of malicious programs.

    Also, visit the FAQ XLab and read of detection and avoid malicious software and spyware.

    Check out these articles from Apple:

    If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.)

    The user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:

    The facts are:

    1. There is no anti-malware software can detect 100% of malware out there.

    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect all targeting the Mac.

    3. the best way to prevent breaches the most is for you as the user is aware that

    the most successful malware attacks rely on sophisticated social engineering

    techniques preying on human greed, * and fear.

    your computer is designed to trick you into installing their malware thinking it's a

    protection against malware.

    5. some of the anti-malware market products are worse than malware

    go where they are supposed to protect you.

    6. be careful where you go on the internet.

    7. don't download anything from sites, you know are safe.

    8 avoid links that you receive in email, always be wary, even if you get something

    you think a friend is, but that you did not expect.

    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume that it is malware.

    Troubleshooting Applications

    I recommend that you download a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaneror hiding a Cocktail that you can use to delete the former newspapers and archives, cleaning, etc. Corrupted cache, logs or temporary files can slow down the application or OS X crashes and panics of the kernel.

    If you have leopard snow or leopard, then for similar repairs install Applejackfreeware utility.  If you do not start in OS X, you can boot into single-user mode , where you can run Applejack to make a set of routines for repair and maintenance of the command line.  Note that it takes 1.5 AppleJack for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later versions.

    Basic backup

    For some people, Time Machine will be more than enough. Time Machine is part of Mac OS X. There are two components:

    1. a panel of Time Machine preferences as part of the system of preferences;

    2. a request for Time Machine, located in the Applications folder. It's

    used to manage backups and restore backups. Time Machine

    requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the

    drive being backed up.

    You can also get an external drive at least equal to the size hard disk internal and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the disk utility's restore option. You can also create and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (the order is not significant):

    1 Carbon Copy clone

    2. get backup

    3 already seen

    4 superDuper!

    5. Synk Pro

    6. Tri-Backup

    Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the backup and restore.  Also read How to back up and restore your files. For using Time Machine, visit FAQ Time Machine of Pondini for help with all this time Machine.

    Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate .

    Additional tips

    Make sure you have a sufficient amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run simultaneously. Make sure to leave a minimum of 10% of the capacity of the hard disk as free space.

    Add more RAM. If your computer less than 2 GB of RAM and you use OS X Leopard or later, then you can do it with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion works much better with 4 GB of RAM that is their system. Most concurrent applications, that you tend to use the more RAM you should have.

    Always have at least 15 GB, or 10% of the capacity of your hard disk as free space, the largest. OS X frequently accesses your hard disk, so offering enough free space will keep things slow down.

    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:

    Before Mavericks

    Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the drop process .  Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

    Mavericks and later versions

    Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the menu display .  Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

    This problem occurs often because of a corrupted cache or the preferences file or an attempt to write in a corrupted log file.
