  This is a complete scam.  You can report it to your local police.

  For your own protection, you should:
  • Change your passwords on email accounts, accounts financial and sensitive to which accounts you access online from this PC.  RIGHT NOW!
  • Run a full scan of your PC using your antivirus application...    Also download and run a full scan with Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free edition).  MBAM is a very good solution in addition to your primary backup antivirus/antimalware application.
  • I would also go here: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Shared/Help.aspx and follow the advice of "I think that my PC is infected", including potentially calls MS help.
  • Above all, do not delay!  If you have any concerns about the handling of it, then disconnect your computer from the internet and call MS before anything else.

• Computer laptop GATEWAY with Windows 7 will not be updated, and I searched this site for instructions.

  I followed the instructions to make sure I don't understand the "update notification" on stop downs and other tips, but I have more patience at this point.  This has been going on and I can't the system up to date.  I made every effort (by previous questions and answers) to ensure that the free trial of Norton has been removed from this computer.  It is a laptop.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of Norton 360 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8 reset the advanced settings of the IE by http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Reset-Internet-Explorer-settings

  9. open IE8 32 bit (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 [ignore if APPLIES to article] & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  10. restart once again & test.

• Computer laptop Gateway with Windows Vista cannot read SDHC cards.

  I have a TI PCIxx12 CardBus Controller.  It will read SD cards but not SDHC cards.  I can find solutions for Windows XP but not VISTA.  All the solutions to this problem?

  Yes. Buy a reader able to read SDHC cards. You can buy them very
  low cost;  for example, on Amazon.com, you can find one for $2.50
  US.

  I have two of them I bought from Amazon: one that I keep on my
  Office and another that I keep in my case of laptop for use when traveling.

• Acer laptop comes with Vista and upgraded to Windows 7 now does not

  My daughter has an Acer laptop and her boyfriend spoke to him in switching to Windows 7, but we are not sure if it was legitimate. He worked for a year or so, but now she cannot access the start menu, you cannot start in safe mode and may have a virus. She has no backup discs. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  Well, if she worked for a year, then it is probably quite legitimate. Whatever this is not activated within 30 days is usually made in an unusable state, or limited. The most likely problem is a virus. She is able to run programs? Some useful malware removal tools are:

  Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool
  Malwarebytes
  SUPERAntiSpyware
  Spybot Search and Destroy
  Microsoft safety scanner

  And it's not the Windows 7 installation disc that used her boyfriend? If you cannot use these tools or the computer is too slow and does not respond then you can use a Live CD. What you do is start you on a CD or a flash drive in a separate operating system in order to perform analyses of virus on the hard drive. You will need to use another computer with a blank CD burner and imgburn program. Write these two files .iso with imgburn.

  BitDefender Rescue CD
  Kaspersky Rescue Disk

  Turn on the computer. Insert the CD of bitdefender inside her computer. Turn off and turn on and watch directly downstairs or upstairs for command to enter the Boot Manager (usually F12) or BIOS Setup (usually F2). Is there is a Boot Manager button and then you must press the key once in a relationship at the time wherever you turn on the computer. Select this option to boot from CD/DVD.

  Is there is only one button for BIOS, then you will need to manually rearrange the order of boot devices so that the CD/DVD drive is at the top which makes the first boot device.

  When the operating system loads up, make sure that you connected to the internet and update the latest virus definitions. You can then run the scan on the hard drive. After that all viruses are removed, then do you the same thing with the Kaspersky CD. It's just to make sure that all viruses are removed.

  I hope that my explanation was not too difficult to follow.

• Can I get xbox live through my laptop? My laptop is windows vista and has a T-MOBILE dongle for the internet.

  don't know what to do?

  Hello Wayne.

  Xbox Live does very well on a mobile broadband service.  If you want to do multiplayer games, you will definitely need a line physical broadband installed in your home, ADSL or cable otherwise lag will be simply too high to be read correctly, assuming that T-Mobile would not block it.  Mobile broadband services are also usually with very low usage limits.  For example a few GB per month, which can be chewed by downloading just a couple of demos on Xbox Live.

• I have an older laptop that I update and it has 3 XP service pack. I need to know how to update the USB 2.0 port.

  An older laptop that still works well, I added more memory and a wireless adapter, but I get a warning that there is no port 2.0 usb. Is there an adapter that I can buy that will fix this problem, or did - she need a card at the store? Clueless.

  Older laptops can do not take support USB 1.1 and 2.0.

  If the warning related to your USB wireless adapter?

• Microphone does not work on my computer laptop gateway but works on my pc

  My computer laptop gateway continue giving message "no record ellee not office installed" but I can hear through my headphones, I can just talk through the microphone or recording the sound. Everything works on my pc

  Looks like your mic edge has been disabled somehow. You can call the gateway to see if there is a key combination to re - activate, or a way to re - activate in the Panel.

  Another way is to plug in a USB microphone or a USB Webcam with built in microphone...

• Satellite Pro M70: The game performance with Vista and Intel 915GM graphics card

  I have a satellite Pro M70 1.73Ghz with 768 MB of RAM.
  Although many would condemn the 915GM chipset (with graphic GMA900) as garbage, I was surprised to find on XP it can run quite a few games like Need for Speed Underground 2.
  I've heard some bad comments on the chipset with vista, and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows if I'll get the same kind of performance 3D with vista or not.

  Hey guys

  You have a Mobile Intel 915GM 8MB - 128 MB shared memory graphics memory. What do you expect?
  Check on the Microsoft website, the terms of Vista!

  It s not a graphics card performance and the games will not work with fast performance under XP and not Vista OS.

  Expect too buddy!
