How will I know that my computer is in the background?

My computer is obviously something in the background as I hear it working, but I don't do anything in front of my computer and did not do anything.  How will I know what he does?  Could this be a virus?  How will I know?  I am running Windows 7.  I have Kaspersky anti virus 2013, but he says that it is up-to-date.  I looked at windows update, and he says that he has no significant update available.  So, update kaspersky and windows do not seem to do anything.

Thanks if anyone can help.

Hello

Could be a background task such as defrag or indexing.

Click with the right button on the taskbar - shows - processes tab - Task Manager which is running.
Also check Services - and Performance tabs for the info.

    How will I know that I turned on Windows Defender?

    Hello, welcome.

    If please, go to the flag in the task bar and click on it, click Open Action Center, expand the chevron of security, spyware / malware protection-click see installed antispyware programs and you'll see it there. Don't forget that you have an antivirus, I'd say you Microsoft Security Essentials to http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ , just click on this link. Note that if you install MSE, it will turn off Windows Defender by default.

    It is likely that the indexing or defrag or some other service is running. You can use the Task Manager to check. [Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC as a way to start it.]

    For what is something wicked (you never know with certainty what 'they' might do), make sure that your antivirus software is up-to-date. Install a good as a basis for security from Microsoft (free) or Kapersky (not free). Also run a check by MalwareBytes (free version) or another alternastive good.

    Don't forget, everything simply because you're not paranoid doesn't mean that nobody is trying to "help".

    I'm kidding a bit. All the best.

  • Laptop had a problem to "Solve a problem with PSIKey", solution from Windows & installed according to the instructions. How will I know that the problem is solved?

    has stopped working properly.

    An update is available that solves this problem.

    Downloaded Update site Web Protexis, Inc. and told to follow the steps in the installation wizard. The file downloaded and said he was setting up installation. Then after a few seconds, the box has disappeared and nothing else happened. How will I know if this problem has actually been resolved? My laptop has shown 6 problems with this unit from 30/07/11-08/12/11, where the unit has stopped working. Because I don't know what it is yet, I don't know really if the problem is solved or not. What should I do at this point? I have a SP2 7520-5185, running Vista Home Premium, Acer-Aspire. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hello

    If you have installed a trial or paid a licensed version of Corel software products, you probably may notice a third unannounced software application makes its way into your computer too. The program is PSIService.exe by Protexis, which installs a Protexis V2 of Licensing Windows operating system service or Protexis licensing service.

    PSIService belongs to protect DRM (digital rights management) copy protection and license management software, which is intended to protect an application or software against piracy and illegal copying. Thus PSI service is normally installed by another program, such as Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X 2, Corel Paint Shop Pro XI (X 1), Corel Paint Shop Pro X, that uses its service to collect information of license to repatriate much like spyware, protect copy and authenticate the user who is using an authentic version of the program.

    When you tried to download and install the program, if the box that says closed the dialog box when the download is complete has been verified, it will close the dialog box.

    I suggest that you restart the computer and check if you get an error message.

  • How will I know that the software is up to date?  There used to be an icon in the top panel of my mac.

    I am a user affected by the account of my company and the software had suddenly become unusable. Adobe reinstalled successfully but the icon cloud that used to be in the top panel of my mac has disappeared and has been so for a few months before the accident. How do you know that all software are up to date now?

    It depends on how the CC has been installed directly by CC or through presentation.

  • How will I know if my Airport Extreme has the latest firmware?  And (not related) how to change the password used to connect to my network?

    I think I bought the latest version of Airport Extreme.  It is the unit which is rectangular, is about 6 to 7 w., etc.  I have some basic questions that I do not understand:

    1. How will I know if I have the latest firmware for this device?  I read a few posts that make it sound as if it was just automatically updates.  Is this true?

    2. can someone tell me how to change the password used to connect to my wireless network?

    Thank you very much!

    Chris

    If a firmware update is available, AirPort Extreme flashes orange.

    The most up-to-date version of the firmware is 7.7.3.

    You can see what version you currently have the following on your Mac...

    Open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

    Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

    Look for the Version

    If the new firmware was available, you will see a button update here

    To change the wireless network password...

    Click on edit in the window smaller than you watched just to check the firmware version

    Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the next window

    Go back / change the wireless password and enter a new password

    Do the same thing to check

    Click Update at the bottom right of the window and give the airport a minute full for restart

  • HP Envy 4500 - How will I know if I need to update the firmware?

    I just bought a HP Envy 4500.  The version of the installed firmware is MKM1FN1322BR.   The firmware on the HP site is MKM1FA1322BR.   How will I know if my firmware is older?

    Also, I tried to plug the printer directly via USB to update with the update of the firmware, and it does not work.  I try to use 'Start Again' several times, but nothing changes.   I disabled the wireless and even restarted the printer and it still does not work.  Local printer (USB) has been selected by default.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit and the file being used is HPCOM_HP_ENVY_4500_series_x64_000_003.exe.

    Help, please.

    Hi @judremy

    Version codes sometimes differ depending on how the Unit received its last update, so you don't have to worry about different codes. Updates can be received thought the site manually or via the Web Services menu on the printer itself.

    You have the printer connected to your wireless network? If so, the version you have had likely been obtained of the printer itself.

    Is there a problem you encounter that lead you to this mission of firmware, or are you simply being proactive in any ESC?

    If there is something I can help with that let me know.
