Hello

There are a number of ways...

1. assuming that it is a laptop, there will be a physical to turn off wireless switch, or a depression function key. I can't say what function key, it will be, it varies from laptop to laptop, but the image on the key must be a gift, if the image is not obvious to you then check your manual. Use it with the "Fn" key as a "toggle switch" to turn on wireless power.

2. go in network connections configuration panel. Right click on your wireless network connection, and then click on disable.

Your PC is not necessarily to be attacked. It could just be set to automatically connect to networks unsecured wireless. There are a lot of unsecured wireless networks on, leastways in my neighborhood there. If your PC takes up and connects to one, it is not an attack in itself, but it could make your PC open to attack.

Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

  • How can I completely remove windows xp pro network connection screen

    Several months ago, I bought a used computer. It is a HP Compaq apparently set on foot for the tuition fees online with K12.org. It came with any disks, and I had an awful time trying to get the login screen for the computer network without having to use it. I managed to find and disable the Client for Microsoft networks according to previous research, but the screen would still pop up. I used the forums for info I would need to get the thing to only us force hitting an "OK" button so that we would not enter a password every time. Now the screen, which allows to popup, will not be shown or only appears intermittently during startup and Windows shows "Starting Windows" and everything crashes and hangs without taking me to the "Welcome" screen

    This problem started last night. I'd really like to get this thing to use it without worry.

    Any help you offer is greatly appreciated.

    Hanging to the startup problem is certainly indicative of a larger problem.

    In your case, I highly recommend that you completely reinstall Windows on your machine.  Most of the HP/Compaq machines have a recovery partition which will reinstall Windows on condition "as-bought.  To access this, when you start and the first HP or Compaq startup screen appears, you should see at the bottom of the screen a touch that will put you in the recovery mode.  Press this button quickly because you don't have a lot of time.  Follow the prompts to completely wipe your hard drive and reinstall Windows.  (Make sure that you back up all of the necessary files first).  If you do not have this key, and then connect to the HP site and download the manual for your specific computer model.

    If you cannot reinstall Windows, then try a system restore to a point in time before that you had your boot-hanging problem.

  • How can I change the network to a WiFi connection profile in Windows 8?

    When I connect to a wireless connection, it automatically assigns me for the Public Profile. But, I know to trust the network and want to select it as private, so that I can use the share.

    In previous versions of Windows, it was easy to change the WiFi profile. For example, in Windows 7, I would go to the network share and click on the name of the profile, and it would allow me to change it. Now, in Windows 8, the profile name is static text and is no longer provides a link that allows me to edit the profile.

    I tried to remove the profile and add it back, using the context menu on the WiFi network and "forget this network". But he never asks on the profile or sharing when I add the network.

    Try this:

    -Show the charms

    -Select settings

    -Select the network icon

    -Right click (using a mouse), or press and hold (with your finger) on the name of the network connection, that you care

    -A menu will appear to allow you to control the sharing, so to go from a private and public profile.

    Ignore the link of the player Shockwave that probably, you mustn't he compared to Flash player because it is barely used nowadays.

    FredMcD, you really need correct/update your clipboard for that.

    The downloadable Shockwave player version (not flashing) is 12.1.3.153 and not 15.0.0.152 as you can be confusing which version of the flashplayer reached before.

    Flash player is 15.0.0.189 and not 14.0.0.179 as you can see at https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

    Flash player is used for good Flash videos like Youtube and Flash games in Shockwave player is little used compared to Flash, for things such as games and online learning tools.

    And please, don't say "I asked. It's the way it is displayed on the site"as you said last time in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026518 , because who says little about why you're wrong ad versions and calling Shockwave player, Shockwave Flash.

    Windows XP SP2 or 3 (not sure)

    No error message

    Problem: The program "HP updates Agent" run frequently and on no particular schedule, certainly not the one I chose.  He takes over my computer for hours and using most of the CPU, fluctuating between 13% and 87% to 1 etc.3% at 6%, etc.. The computer crashes and I can not use it for something else. On the HP updates screen, I put updates on 'NEVER', but that did not work.  The programs always run. In the Windows Task Manager window, the program is called "Agent updates from HP".

    I find nothing on this problem in the base of support.

    How can I disable the Agent updates from HP running?

    Select your Start button, in the search box type 'msconfig' then msconfig.exe under programs.

    Look under the tabs "Services" and "Boot". Uncheck update HP agent, select 'Apply' and close.
