Get rid of update in windows 7
Recently, I installed Win7 yet and have minor trouble. One of them is that the Windows Update keeps trying to tell me that this is an update for my graphics card (even though I know that I have installed manually the last being) and fails everytime I try to run it just to get it out. How do I get this out of the update list?
Thanks in advance,
Yolande

How to get rid of the fake windows security alert virus
There was a virus on my laptop in the last two months. on the bottom taskbar, there's a red 'x' icon shield and whenever I try to go it takes me to the esentials Security page and he said: "the Security Center service is disabled" and it lights whenever I try to turn it on. also it doesn't let me access the internet or try to restore the laptop. I tried all solvents of spyware as spyware doctor and malware bytes, but it seems that I still have not had the problem again. help because this situation is greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hello
One way to solve the problem would be to backup your important data (redundancy) and then re - install
Windows after formatting the drive. Check with the manufacturer of your system's support to see what you need to do
that (and you probably already have what is necessary). You can buy the installation discs for Windows in the system
machine cheaply if necessary since you already own windows.=====================================
Another method would be to ensure that the malware is detected and deleted with internet access being
restored.Try typing several times F8 as you start and select a Safe Mode with networking. If that works to proceed to the
methods below. (You can try wired access and wireless if you have both available). If this does not work
then use another computer to download the drivers and the necessary programs and transfer them to your machine
on removable media.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however you must also run them
the Windows when you can.Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT and add Prevx to be sure that he is gone. (If Rootkits run UnHackMe)

each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.
Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.
Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
