  • Error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer.

    Original title: trying to download

    WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.

    Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

    It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."

    Thanks a lot for any assistance.

    ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

    If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

    You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

  • crash the computer after installing the software removal tool malicious windows 64

    Hi when I install malicious software removal tool windows 64 my computer crash after that I have it reboot? Thanks for your help.

    Hello


    1. are you able to boot computer?
    2. you receive an error message or error code?

    Try to start in safe mode and check if it helps.
    Note: If you are able to start in safe mode, I suggest you perform a restore of the system at a point when the computer was working fine and check if it helps.

    Note: During the installation of malicious software removal tool windows I you suggest to perform a clean boot and then try to install the windows software removal malware tool 64 manually and check if it helps.

    Clean boot will check if any third-party application is causing the problem, as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Cannot choose where to install the player

    Installer & MyAdobe Reader download ran in a single step, never allowing me to choose where to install it. It is a big problem, because my C: drive where it is lacking of the installation was already short of disk space. I need to be able to choose where install the program myself, not to be forced by Adobe to accept installation of the C: drive. Is it possible to direct the installation, or move it now that it is already installed? I have an SSD, that I want to install it.

    I don't know how to install Adobe Reader "in one step", without passing by the different install panels, which allows me to choose the installation location (change Destination folder):

    It is the Panel installation Reader 9.4, as I have not installed X drive on my system.

    You can download the executable installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

    PS you can not move an existing installation; You must uninstall your current drive, then install again in a different location.

  • Downloaded Update Windows7 cannot find where he was rescued

    Update downloaded Windows7 cannot find where he was saved, did not get the popup box, run or save. I got the message on the Web page that it was successful or complete. How to find the "cabinet"?  I looked in the download folder, unable to determine if all were just downloaded.  The download would have yesterday's date?  My Windows Update will not work.  I need to install a particular update to make it work again by the community solution.

    If you were not prompted to save the download, it has not been downloaded,

    All browsers insist on the approval of the user.

    The default value for all downloads is the downloads folder

    If it has been downloaded silently which I doubt that the download would be in there.

    Where is the downloads folder,

    Click Start and click on your username in the top right of the start menu under your user photo that could be a flower.

    On this page, you will see a list called downloads

    She will also appear on any page of the Explorer of windows under the Favorites list.
