  I play with my system for most. Oblivion, Call of Duty 4 & 5 and. Al.

  Hello OM603,.

  Thank you for posting.  It seems to me that what you really want is a slightly streaming on Vista Basic.  Since you said that you want to remove things like the Media Center, which leads me to believe that you have Home Premium or Ultimate.
  As a player myself, I'll give you the advice you're looking for is how to disable the services.

  Consulting services running on your computer by using the Task Manager

  You can use Manager tasks to display the services that are running on your computer. You can also find processes that could be associated with a particular service. (A process is a file, for example an executable file that ends with an .exe file name extension, that the computer uses to directly start a program or to start other services.)

  1. Click to open the Task Manager.

  2. Click the Services tab to see the services that are running under your user account.

  3. To find out if there is a process associated with a service, right-click on the service and then click go to process. If go to process is gray out and unavailable, it's because the selected service is currently stopped. The status column indicates whether a service is running or stopped.

  Notes

  • If you click go to process but no process is not highlighted in the processes tab, the process is not running under your user account. To view all processes, click the processes tab, and then click Show processes from all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Click the Services tab, and then try again to see the process.

  • If you right-click a process on the tab process, then click go to service (s), but you don't see any highlighted services, then the process does not all associated services, regardless of whether processes from all users are shown or not.

  • Clicking Services at the bottom of the Services tab opens the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, where advanced users can view more details about services and configure additional options.

  I have a Compaq Presario desktop computer comes with XP Media Center 2005.  It has been updated to SP3.

  Recently, I ran free TDSSKiller from Kaspersky Lab to check my PC for the DNSChanger Malware.  After executing TDSSKiller, he registered 6 files to be suspicious. Two are Microsoft files. The files and their paths are:

  (1) mhn.dll.  Path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\mhn.dll

  (2) mhndrv.sys.  Path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\mhndrv.sys

• Everyone has been contacted by Microsoft support? I got a call from people today who say they were in New Jersey...

  I was contacted by phone by a person who identified themselves as being a Microsoft technician this afternoon.  After asking how much of my family's computers, they told me that our system had been compromised and that they would help us fix.  After walking me through obtaining of Event Viewer, they transferred me to another person who was the senior technician (or so they said).  I asked where they were from my number identified the call came from a number of British Colombia (where I live) and the installation was based in New Jersey.  Unfortunately, the infection from the system has been resolved, as the higher tech hung up before that.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

• I would like to know how do I know when legit microsoft tech people call us.

  * Original title: scams

  Hello

  I would like to know how do I know when legit microsoft tech people call us. They seem to know what are the problems of the computer. For example, I know technical support microsoft is outsourced. How can I know who we really are and which one is fake? If I'm registered, it is logical that they call me if my computer is not working properly. In addition, they guide you through what is wrong, before asking to enter the computer. Y at - there somewhere that we could see a list of companies that are partners of support, as well as their locations?

  For a very good presentation, read this--> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/407147/answers-to-common-security-questions-best-practices/?p=2413189 (post #2 in the thread must choose an antivirus program and post #4 aims to choose an additional program to deal with software spyware and other malware that is not strictly 'virus' in nature.)

  Each month, the "Patch Tuesday" Microsoft includes an updated version of the 'Malicious Software Removal Tool"in the 'important' updates.  It's not settling as other updates but "runs once to find infections per prevalent malicious software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) on your computer and remove infections it finds."

  In addition, your installation of Windows 7 runs by default "Windows Defender".  Microsoft confusedly used that name to refer to a software that performs different functions.  In Windows 7, Windows Defender is an anti-spyware utility, not an anti-virus.  Windows Defender (for Windows 7) updates are quite frequently provided through Windows Update.  See http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/6397-windows-defender-turn-off.html

  Microsoft also provides for free, Microsoft Security Essentials.  Microsoft describes this as a "guard in real time against software viruses, spyware and other malicious software.  If you install MSE, will be automatically disabled Windows Defender.

  You can also download the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make a unique analysis for "virus, spyware and other malicious software."

  IMO, one of the best tools that scan for malware that the virus is the free version of MalwareBytes AntiMalware.  https://www.Malwarebytes.org/DL-confirm/ . during installation, you will be asked if you want to a free trial of the Premium version.  Yet once, IMO, the Premium, even the free trial version, installation is not necessary.

  The difference between the free version and the Premium version, which is the last runs continuously in the background ("scheduled update and scanning, the safer our real-time Protection Module. ... Another important feature is our blocking malicious Web site").   According to the company, "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not supposed to be a replacement for antivirus software...» [and] works well and should run alongside software antivirus without conflict.  https://support.Malwarebytes.org/customer/en/Portal/articles/1834872-does-Malwarebytes-anti-malware-replace-antivirus-software-?b_id=6438

  A second scanner good anti-spyware is SUPERAntiSpyware.  http://SUPERAntiSpyware.com/  As with MBAM, IMO all what you need is the free version.  Be aware that even the free version by default at startup of Windows startup.  If you install SAS, I suggest to change this option and the program running only on request.

• How can I remove a program called Browser support. I have not asked for it. I think it might come when I updated Adobe

  How can I remove a program called Browser Support?

  Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.

  More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

• Strange phone calls claiming to be from Microsoft Support...

  Did someone received phone calls of a contender unlisted number to the Technical Support team of Microsoft in what concerns the Elimination of malware and ask you to follow the steps to access your computer? I hung up on them because I didn't think it was legitimate.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

  Hi I wonder if anyone else had this happen... made phone calls for me on my landline by the microsoft support team as he really worried about who they are?

  It's a scam.  Never provide any access to your PC to someone who calls you with some story about virus infections (etc.) is detected on your PC.  MS would never do that (plenty of examples in the MSE forum if you care to look).

  More tips - social engineering is a term for the bad guys who try to convince you to do something that would allow them to infect your computer or gather confidential information (Bank online identifiers for example...)
  You (and everyone!) need to be careful to not be fooled (and some of these guys are VERY GOOD at deceiving people.
  Beware of strange emails and especially strange phone calls.  Don't forget that you can not trust Caller ID on your phone... it is very easy to spoof the name of your choice on caller ID.

  It's a SCAM

  they want or money on your part for programs without value or make an identity theft on you to get even more money and get your internet banking passwords and credit card information, you get allows you to download the software to 'fix' or 'test' for your computer

  Read these tips from Microsoft:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/msName.aspx

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

  I keep getting phone calls from a person claiming to be calling Microsoft Windows.  He tells me that my computer is sending false messages, and Microsoft will stop it if I don't get on the computer with him and make some changes. I don't trust him.  Microsoft contacted me this way?

  It's a scam.  I'm glad you don't fall for it.  All other calls suggest that tell you the caller you brought calls to the police who should dissuade continue to harass you.
