Facebook launched me and wants used antivirus?
The following popped up on Facebook tonight:
"Run antivirus software.
Your computer has been infected by a virus or malware. You should run antivirus software to remove these harmful programs and keep your information secure.
- For Microsoft: click here
- For Apple: click here
This looks like a scam, but is not asking you to take action, it only refers to the pages on the legitimate Microsoft and Apple sites, so it might be OK. That being said, regardless of the intention behind the message, it's downright bad. There is no virus affecting OS X; There is a small amount of malware out there, but neither Facebook nor any other website has the ability to scan the files on your computer.

Do not like and want to go back, or use other products
Do not like the new Firefox and wants to go back, or use other products such as the chrome
None of these methods works to open the Options page:
- button '3-bar' menu > Options
- Or if you have moved the Toolbar Options, this is the gear icon
- Tools menu > Options
- If you do not normally display the menu bar, press the Alt key to temporarily show
If you get the same error in both directions, your installation of Firefox could be damaged. To do this, I suggest:
Clean reinstall it
We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.
(A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 40.0.3 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).
(B) the release of Firefox (if any).
(C) to rename the program folder, either:
(Windows 64-bit folder names)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
TO
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
(Windows 32-bit folder names)
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
TO
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
No improvement with the toolbars?
Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:
- \OldFirefox\Plugins
- \OldFirefox\browser\plugins
- button '3-bar' menu > Options

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade [starter to home premium]
original title: Windows UpdateI am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade
No, it will not work.
Windows 7 anytime upgrade: you have Vista or XP currently installed?
If the product you have Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' does not allow to move from XP/Vista to Windows 7. You can buy the product at retail of Windows 7 Upgrade not the ' Anytime Upgrade '.
Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' is for moving from one version of Windows 7 to a higher version, such as Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional.

How to import emails from Windows mail to Outlook. I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and want to use Outlook 2002 for email from Windows mail program is no longer usable.
The following versions of Microsoft Outlook are fully supported on Windows 7;
- Outlook 2003
- Outlook 2007
- Outlook 2010 (when it came out)
It is recommended to always update your version of Outlook directly after installation to take care of any question of incompatibility which have been corrected.
Previous versions
Another version of Outlook is not supported on Windows 7. Although you may install it, any compatibility issues is not corrected. For example;- Outlook 2002/XP works on Windows 7, but it has the same problems remember password when using Windows Vista.
- Outlook 2000 cannot be installed in Internet Mail Only Mode (IMO) and must be installed in company/workgroup (CW Mode) Mode to prevent a mistake wab.dll.

I have Dreamweaver CS6 but want to update for cc, how ever I did mine and I sign in and upward at the site web adobe and want to use css Designer because with my courses, I do and they use CC. How can I get the upgrade with this new refund. Thank you
There is no way to update the version of perpetual license / DWCS6 drive to the creative cloud, they are two completely separate programs. There used to be a discount for the Creative Suite owners switch to CC, but that ship has sailed.
If you want to the CSS designer, you will need a subscription here: pricing and membership creative cloud plans | Adobe Creative Cloud

After I open a document using Adobe reader DC and want to save it with the help of Save as when I try to open this operation all I get is an empty windo saying save as. This problem just started, note I'm on Windows 7 Prof
Hi sgodwin2468,
Make sure that Acrobat Reader DC is updated Release Notes | Adobe Acrobat, Reader.
If the problem persists, try the solution below.
The default "save under" Acrobat/Reader DC dialog box is different from the dialogue box you had in earlier versions of Acrobat/Reader, it also allows you to record in the clouds and previous locations that you saved the files. It is possible that when Acrobat/Reader tries to connect to the 'cloud', it runs into problems. You can try to disable this feature to see if this brings your backup in the back of the box: open Acrobat Preferences, then go to the "General" category and uncheck "show the online storage when you save files:
Kind regards
