If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished.

  This isn't the best of cases, but if the best freeware choices. It's a good
  choice.

  For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
  to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
  run several) of the following three:
   
  Avira AntiVir
  Avast
  Microsoft Security Essentials
   
  You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
  install MalwareBytes AntiMalware (freeware).

  I just got an error message at startup, which reads: execution of data path: to protect your computer, Windows has closed this program: name: request for logon Userinit, Publisher: Microsoft.  My pc is under Windows XP SP2.

Moreover, when I close the window of Data Execution Prevention error message, I have my bottom, no other other icons for one of my programs are on the screen. Help... This can be corrected?

  Thanks in advance.

  Carter2009,
  If you started having 'Magical' Antivirus programs to appear on your system that you do not install, then you are infected.  Some people may be painful to remove, to others not so much.  I recommend http://www.malwarebytes.org/ for malware protection and http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/ for antivirus.

  But now you're in a bit of a place.  I download Malware Bytes and put it on a USB key.  Then see if you can boot in safe mode and run MalwareBytes.  If you're not in safe mode, take a look at this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318027

  Hope these helps. QQ learn manage!

• How to remove a computer from my working group under XP and Windows 7?

  We have recently implemented a network composed of our three computers (2 XP) Home Office and 1 Windows 7 to share files and printers.

  However, we found its malfunction and could not share what we expect.  One of the reasons, we can see it, could be one of the computers have been infected.

  So, we try to remove this computer from the working group.

  However, no matter how hard I searched on Internet, there is no way to remove the infected computer's existing working group.

  There that experts can help us?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  You cannot remove a computer from a working group, but you can change the name of the working group.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/295017

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/51711-workgroup-name-view-change.html

  But that will not necessarily mean that they are not accessible by other computers on the network, or it will necessarily make the other less likely to be infected through this PC computers.

  The only way to "withdrawal" of a computer on a network is to unplug the network cable or remove the name of the wireless network.

  If you are concerned about a possible infection, you must get the malware to day and scan for malware protection.

  However, I suspect it's more likley your problems are caused by the lack of knowledge in the topic network different Windows operating system. This can help...
