How can I know what anti virus do I have and where can I find it

theres nothing on my desk so I don't know what I have and I want to turn it off for 10 minutes. Windows xp

Have you actually installed an antivirus application?

Look at the system of Notification area (next to the time display).  Place the cursor of the mouse on each of the icons (make sure to click the chevron pointing to the left if it is present to display all icons).  Each icon should have a pop up balloon, explaining that it is.

If one of the icons associated with your antivirus application, right-click and you should get a menu that includes an option to turn it off temporarily.  If a right click does not work, [to the left] double click it.

If none of the icons seem to be an antivirus application, follow these steps:

1. open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
2. type the following lines in the black command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

Tasklist/SVC > '% userprofile%\Desktop\MyTasks.txt '.
output

3. go to your desktop, then double-click on the MyTasks.txt file
4 copy the contents of the MyTasks.txt and paste into your answer here

You can remove MyTasks.txt after you copy and paste its content in your response.

    Hello Wanda.

    One command, but lets see what we can do to whittle the list down. First, dial-up internet connection is slow, so keep that in mind that we work here.

    Second, almost all your startup programs are valid and advised to load at startup of Windows. Some possible changes:

    (1) If you need not a specific to Java, such as might have the game that you are trying to play, so you don't need to have it is launched at startup.

    (2) regarding the Adobe programs, why do you have Acrobat on your computer? Do you need to create PDF files? Adobe Reader which has many freeware alternatives that are faster, used to read PDF files. So if you need only to read PDF files, you can stop Acrobat from loading at startup.

    (3) other startup programs are all legitimate. And remember, just because you do not start a program at startup, does not mean that you cannot start later if you find that you don't need it.

    (4) the problems you encounter to "all sites that you visit" could be a function of malware. You don't have AVG Antivirus running on your computer just? I recommend do you a scan in depth and then put in quarantine and remove any infections it finds.

    (5) after you run the virus scan, I suggest that you try to download and run these two scanners. First MalwareBytes' Antimalware, here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.  Secondly, SUPERAntiSpyware, here: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html. Quarantine and remove all infections they find.

    (6) after doing this, restart your computer and see how it works. Please post your results here, and if you have any questions during this process, post here and I'll help you. Let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

    I know that you can remove some programs, but how do I know what ones I can remove without affecting my computer?

    We cannot comment on what programs you need to remove. In addition, some programs running in the background and removing will raise questions.

    However, you can uninstall programs that have been installed by you. You can go to start-> programs and features-> press enter type. Search for programs that have been installed by you, select them and click on uninstall, individually.
    Once uninstalled, you can install another drive as the installation location.
    But, before you uninstall, go on-> do work right click on the C partition :\-> click Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click Disk Cleanup. In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, click clean up system files. And then click Ok. This will clean the junk files.
  • How do I know what the maximum number of agents I can put on a hyperic serv

    How do I know what the maximum number of agents I can put on a hyperic server. ?? IM using the built in database on a linux unbuntu 4 cpu system ' s2592 MHZ. 7GB of Ram. I assumed that the
    disk space can be the most important question? Any suggestions or any help to determine when to stop adding customers would be useful. We can use open source, but are also
    talk about the EE version. The Hyperic server type would make a difference in space etc.?

    Disk i/o is probably a bit more critical than the disk space that the DB generally is not larger than 10-15 concerts.

    Ability wise, your system is CPU/RAM.  Disk i/o will probably be your main bottleneck and the thing that will determine the maximum number of agents that can have on the server.

    Splitting of the DB from the HQ server would certainly help in the perspective of General load.  Definitely put the DB a system with several piles of discs (part of a San, fast raid) will help you in the disk i/o.

    If I was trying to answer the same question, I guess that I look at the Scriptures on disk on the DB as starting point, test the drive with systat/iostat or something to see what the drive is capable of in terms of read/write speeds and also look at postgres for slow queries, duration of execution of query, used memory and cpu.  Naturally, I would do the majority of "look at her" go to HQ itself :)

    Hello

    This refers to the OS you're on.

    If you try to install the creative cloud and you get this message, it means that the version of the operating system is not more supported by the software.

    You can also check the system requirements for the creative cloud or any other specific System application requirements. Cloud Creative

  • How can I find out what startup files

    Number of files is loaded on startup because the entries in the RUN keys in the registry editor.

    Most of them is probably necessary, but I would like to know what they're doing so that I can decide if I accept them there.

    How can I find out what files do, especially files from Microsoft to start? Looking for file names always seems to give a vague result and an exhortation to try a magic registry repair program.

    Here is an article on startup programs/applications. It might give you a better understanding of the subject.
    http://www.SysInfo.org/StartupList.php

    Excerpt:

    Key to 'status ':

    "Y" - normally leave to run at startup

    "N" - not required or not recommended - generally used that rarely tasks that can be run manually if necessary

    'U' - user choice - depends whether a user considers necessary

    'X' - definitely not required - typically viruses, spyware, adware, and "resource hogs".

    Hey Stella-50,

    How slow is slow? For example, my machine (e-machine E4264 2.2 ghz with 2 GB RAM) boots in 95 seconds. For me, I call it, in the average. I am currently in the process of looking for a new machine because it is already 3 years old, so maybe that OEN will be slightly faster to start.

    What you can 'turn off' will depend on which in fact initially launches upward and, unfortunately, you have not told us that at this moment. Is that you should not disable your anti software anti-virus (updater). nothing to do with your mouse and your keyboard etc.

    Perhaps, if you made a list of what application are actually being run at startup (via the msconfig Startup tab) can someone take a look at them and see if, or what can be disabled.

    Otherwise, you might take a glance at Startup Delayer http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay to see if you can delay the time different applications load to allow windows to start up more quickly. I haven't used so I can't say how good/bad it is.  It's a freeware.
