I have a simple question which I'm sure someone will be able to respond easily - I have windows xp, I've added nothing to my machine, but it does not now download updates - when I try to go on the microsoft download Web site - I can't. Help, please.

I don't know how long this has happened, I get the shield down, but my downloads are not downloaded.

I know that I probably won't get a response to my three questions, but I want to post a separate thank you.  It's really great that you use your knowledge to help people like me who just bumble along...  Thanks again.

Now I have 3 questions that are not questions of direct update but I have the feeling that you can help.

I now have service pack 3

1. is windows better than Kerio firewall
2. I said do not install IE8 - what you think
3. should I perform MAM and Onecare safety scanner regularly.

I thank in advance.

You're too kind, Joan. And, you're welcome mowst. Let's start from the beginning.
Does firewall Kerio and AVG protect your system ?
Go by the log MBAM, the answer is No .
Windows native firewall is a sufficient protection when a system is on a network where the router contains a hardware firewall . A router that has a hardware firewall is not so expensive and well worth the investment.
You can use a wired router, as opposed to a router costs a little more, if necessary.

Now, as for the antivirus, I'm not a big fan of the AVG used by the user to type.
I would recommend that the user typical home use AntiVir or Avast on moy. Like AVG, both are free for home use.
For paid AVs, I would recommend NOD32 or FPROT .
Microsoft Security Essentials, which is also free, we hope to be a solid AV, but I can not recommend at this stage.

Installation of critical security updates, it is a needs . It seems that some malware has been able to infect the system due to the absence of the same installation. Specifically this one:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet004\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ {f5eb5c1a-9817-46c9-b36a-6a6a007a8621} \NameServer (Trojan.DNSChanger )-> Data: 85.255.115.110,85.255.112.175-> quarantined and deleted successfully.

Indicate if another update problem occurs that you wait not long to take care of it. Installation of critical security updates prevent many infections.

I think that IE8 is the best browser that MS has ever released. If you choose to install it, strongly suggests you download the standalone installation package manually and Save it. Close all open programs and browsers.
Temporarily disable the antivirus installed by following the steps in clean boot, and then install it.
Make sure that you reboot twice when it installs.  You should receive at least a prompt to reboot, but do another after recommend an anyway.

Now, back to the question 3. Strongly suggest you boot the system in Safe Mode and do a full scan of the system, just to be sure that MBAM has detected and deleted all the malware. Make sure you update MBAM before each scan .
You can do it in normal mode Windows or Safe Mode with setting in network, but not in Safe Mode as long as the system is not connected to the internet in Mode without failure.
It will take time for the full analysis to run, but it was worth. There may still be present hidden malware.
And Yes, do at least an fortnight analysis with MBAM is well worth.
In fact, you should consider buying the paid version, as the protection in real time, unlike the free version, and it will not come into conflict with the installed AV.
Did a scan monthly with the OneCare safety scanner is also a smart thing to do.

BUT , if it were a client system, I no longer trust him to bank services online or any other financial transaction.
The system may have wrong headed by the DNSChanger trojan to web sites that were not what they seem.
As well as information from financial transactions, passwords that you use, and no personal information stored on the system were also sent to the malicious web servers.
To strongly suggest that you change every password you use just to be on the safe side.
If you need or want to do transactions from this new system so the only way that you can trust , it is to format the hard drive and reinstall XP. Now that Service Pack 3 is installed and If you have the XP installation CD, you can do what is called a slipstream SP3 with the installation CD. In this way when format you and reinstall XP, it will be the SP3 and you'll save time by not having do not install several security updates.
It's really not hard to do. Here's a good tutorial with graphics that explains it all:
XP CD slipstreamed Windows using SP3

And, finally, any AV or security program protects a system when the user installs the questionable software .
Be very careful of free software, stolen software, cracked, key generators and other programs.
Always investigate any software that seems too good to be true. As in real life, something that seems too good to be true probably is . Discover the software using Google or Bing to see what others have to say and to report on this issue.

Be careful and safe surfing, Joan.

    My favoriteshave was lost. When I sigen in windows, I got a password to be entered, the system application is no longer a password. I lost some of my icons on the home page too. I think I have answered Yes to remove unused icons. I didn't do that. I tried to restone my system to a date in July as the 15th and the windows restore request woud not allow me to go on this date. It only allows me to select dates in the month of August. Help, please. Thanks Mike

    I'm having a little difficulty to understand your terminology.  I'm not sure what you're referring to "My favourites"... is your Internet Explorer Favorites?  Also I guess by "Restoring Windows Application", you are referring to "System Restore".  If there are no backups going back to July, then this will not be able to help.

    Your symptoms may point to a corrupted profile.  If this is the case, then all the files you placed on the desktop seems to disappear, as well as the documents you store in 'My Documents'.  Other users of your system would be unaffected.  If this turns out to be your problem, try one of the following methods to recover.

    You must set up your default email program to send on a Web site.  Go to control panel | Default programs and set your default e-mail program there.  If your e-mail program is web-based, then you probably can't use this feature (sends the Web site file), then you may need to copy the site, and then paste it into a new message and then send it.

    Yes, the source for the GF tools is available, but unless you already know how to debug Eclipse plugins, it's a pretty deep rabbit hole.

    1. to help-> them to install the new software

    2. use http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/luna/ as the URL of the repository

    3 uncheck the box "group items by category.

    4. Select and install GlassFish Source tools

    Otherwise, try to create a skeletal project that reproduces the problem and send it to us for analysis. Of the stack trace, it seems that the problem is somehow related to the GF web application deployment descriptor, so be sure to preserve by a repro.
