Get rid of iq update without installing on XP home

On startup, I get a message do you want to install IQ update.

I don't know what it is not either I want to install it.

How can I get rid of the message without having to install?

I have XP Home Edition.

Hi DarleneWalters,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. You have security software installed on the computer?

Method 1

InstallIQ Updater is unidirectional, that W3i marketing company connects people with applications. Learn the basics about the software and the company may help you decide if you or your company will find it useful.

Check if you have any software related to the InstallIQ installed on the computer, and then uninstall it.

Method 2

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • How to get normal Windows 7 updates without installing Windows 10?

    Hello world

    I've been a happy user of Windows 7 and have always wanted to have Microsoft warn me of updates are available for my system. I am very careful to keep them, but I want to install them manually, myself.

    Two days earlier, Windows Update started showing the Windows 10 to upgrade, as an important update and advised me to... "Start install now."

    I've been delaying this until I have decide exactly WHEN to do it, on my own terms. Is there a program that I use and that has quite developed a version of Win 10 still. I want to improve when that is developed.

    However, I am now unable to install any other updates to my Windows 7 operating system, without having to install Windows 10.

    I tried to get the optional update, which is available now, but cannot because the... "Start installation now..." Win 10 update starts automatically as soon as I decide to download the optional update.

    It is the first time this has ever happened, and it is really annoy me.

    Is it possible to continue to get Windows 7 upgrades without HAVING to install Win 10?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

  • How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?

    How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?  I remember on xp, I couldn't allow him to function as a windows 95 or 98, if I wanted to.  I just want my computer works like windows xp.

    So can YER a little confused you explain a little better please.

    OR

    do you mean get W7 to resemble the way XP worked?

    In this case (start base fast and simple):

    • try to set a theme for a basic/classic theme - more like 98 then XP well.
    • Download (AV Control) and then use "classic shell" - menu style old XP.
    • Ditto for "explore classic" mentioned on this site.
    • Set the control panel to use the icons (small or large) as opposed to categories.

    But its still W7 in disguise.

    Is that the sort of thing you mean?

    If so, personally, I think its better to stick with W7 and get used to. I bet you will love windows 8 :)

    He updated on my computer and now does not work. I tried all the suggestions and no help... don't come back to IE

    Hi wskossack, I'm sorry to hear that you have problems with Firefox 36. I also regret that we have not been able to get this working for you yet.

    If what you really want is to uninstall Firefox we can do. Of course, I have to ask if you'd be willing to let my help allows you to get the most up to the working version of Firefox. But Firefox is all about the ability to customize. If you want we can install the latest version of Firefox and you can use it until the next version comes out or while we work to get 36 Firefox works for you. I will try to cover all the options in my answer.

    First of all, I turn the uninstall of Firefox. If you want to watch the article click here that this can be done in 7 steps

    I would recommend that you completely uninstall Firefox and install again. This will fix likely problems you have right now. Because you're asking how to do this, I'll assume that you have not tried this.

    If you have Vista or Windows 7:

    (1) close all open Firefox Windows.

    (2) at the start menu click Control Panel

    (3) click on uninstall a program

    (4) from this list chose Firefox

    (5) click on uninstall (they are located up turds)
    If the uninstall wizard does not work, you can start it manually by running helper.exe, located in one of these locations by default:
    (32-bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe
    (64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe

    (6) in the Firefox uninstall wizard click Next and on the next page, click Uninstall and then click on finish

    (7) to remove other files and folders that cannot be removed by uninstall it, you must manually remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations by default:

       (32-bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       (64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    The uninstall program removes all the data user such as history or bookmarks. To completely remove these data, you must manually delete the folder containing your Firefox user profile:

       Click the Windows Start button.
    
       Type %APPDATA% in the search field and press enter to open the hidden Roaming folder.
    
       Open the Mozilla folder
    

    .

       Delete the Firefox folder.
    

    Now, I'll go on how to get the latest version of Firefox installed on your computer. If you want to watch the article click here . If you decide that's what you want please read the article for more information security helpless.

    Firefox 35.0.1 was the latest version of Firefox, and you can get it by clicking here . The link is also in the article. If you do this, you will need to disable the automatic update. To do this, go to options, then go to advance. The title of the advance, there will be a subtab. You want to go to update. You can then select never check or to tell you when there is an update.

    So the only thing left is for me to help you with any problem you are having with Firefox 36. I hope that you will give me a chance. In any case, if you need more information or help with everything I went please let me know.

  • Cannot install updates without installing to win 10

    I installed win/10 a few months ago and don't like it so I out took it and went back to 7. Since then, whenever I choose check updates and installation, it will automatically download and install 10.

    I changed my settings to let me decide whether to install and I removed the KB3035583 but it always does. I couldn't get this out of my system. I need disabled people operating system upgrade but can't seem to do.

    I have connected to meet office today, but twice, they were unable to launch the remote access. Can you tell me what is happening and why I can't get rid of this victory/10?

    Slamina,

    That's what I did to stop the throbbing and attempts to download (gleamed from various positions)...

    Uninstall these updates (available in the Microsoft Windows section):

    KB2952664

    KB2976978 (usually found in 8.x Windows machines)

    KB3035583

    KB3044374 (usually found in 8.x Windows machines) KB3068708

    Do NOT reboot when it asks you.  After you are done go to Windows Update and search for updates, and you will see them listed again. Right mouse click on each of them individually and select hide update.  Then go to Windows Update in Control Panel and select change settings and uncheck give me updates in the same way I receive important updates recommended.  I also changed my important updates to the updates but let me choose whether to download and install them.

    Note: Although these updates come as a optional and Important, once installed they are displayed as recommended.

  • How can I get rid of firefox update firefox 35.0.1 software pop up?

    Firefox worked fine for me until recently.

    When I started getting the "software update" Pop ups for Firefox 35.0.1.

    I DIDN'T WANT TO UPDATE so just clicked the X and thought that it would be mind is no more, but it is CONSTANTLY upward, something that never happened in 7 years of use of firefox.

    He also ruined YOUTUBE for me now I hang constant whenever I change one youtube video to another, it crashes and means that I have to close firefox and restart which is a total pain.

    I finally gave in and updated Firefox 35 but I always had the problem of the hang that was never there before, so I deleted Firefox 35 and returned to Firefox 34.0.5 although I still hit on Youtube videos.

    How can I get rid of the "Firefox pop-up boxes?"

    How can I resolve the deadlock on youtube vids?

    As I said before that the 'blocking' has started since the time of the pop-up boxes.

    Thanks in advance.

    He seemed to have solved the problem.

    I've just updated my Flash Player to the latest version and Youtube is now working well once again, no more crashes when I go from a Youtube video to the other.

    Just to add, the reason for which that I don't update before was like many others I had many problems with Flash in the past has kept the version that worked well for me.

    I still feel the arised only problem because of the 35 Firefox constant POP UPS that started this problem in the first place and I'm sure that many others will find the same problem in the next few weeks, so I hope that my solution will be of other assistance also.

  • How can I install a Flash update without installing McAfee?

    I tried twice to install and canceled both times, because it seemed to me that McAfee has been the installation. I have installed Norton and I'm happy with it. I am not against Adobe encourages the use of a competitor's product, but I do not insist on the freedom to refuse, and I saw a way to do it.

    Cynodontia, there is no correlation between Flash Player and Mcafee. Once you install Flash Player, you get an additional option to install Mcafee. You can simply, clear this checkbox and install Flash Player without installing Mcafee.

    Hope that helps!

  • How can I get rid of Astromenda.in Firefox run in Vista Home Premium

    I received a message that I thought was since Mozilla Firefox saying I need to update Adobe Flash Player. I did and ended up with Astromenda.

    I went to control panel configuration/programs and features, Astromenda and uninstalled. Then I adjusted my options for my Firefox home page and got rid of Astromenda on the opening of Firefox. However, if I hit the '+' tab for a new tab, I get a 'search' Astromenda tab. I went to 'searchplugins' in Firefox profile and found Astromenda.xml and replaced by safesearch.xml. Did not help, Astromenda is still there when I add a new tab.

    I'm going on the web and found Web sites on how to get rid of the Astromenda but they want to download me various adware cleaning tools, but I am reluctant to download anything at this point unless it is sanctioned by Mozilla Firefox.

    Thank you

    Download anti-malware/adware cleaning tools are the best way to remove these infections. The MalwareTips site is a reliable source of information about the malicious software removal. For more information on malware, see:

  • How can I get rid of the Yahoo homepage? Changing the home page does not work.

    A week or two before Yahoo started coming as my home page. No matter how many times I change back to Bing, whenever I have rise of Firefox, there is Yahoo as homepage. Does not he back on Bing and clicking ok. I'm a little frustrated by that. How can I get rid of Yahoo to come as my home page when I have asked yet for her?

    Thank you for your time and your consideration.

    Sincerely,
    cbrsarah

    Change the home page when you check only in "Options > general > Startup" or is it a problem with the page that opens when you launch Firefox?
    For the latter, you can check the field target in the Firefox desktop shortcut.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.
