  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and works very well.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

• ! 00% CPU use due to Multiple Instances of WerFault.exe running on Vista SP2 computer

  I recently reinstalled Vista (reinstall clean due to the failure of the hard drive to the new hard drive) and SP2 and all updates available. I think WerFault.exe works sporadically (up to 5 instances at a time) using 100% cpu. This makes my system unusable. I end the prossess (s) by using the Task Manager, but they keep restarting. I tried the error report auto disablinf and made many analyses of malware with various reputable antivirus/antispyware programs that have all found nothing sinister. I do not have insalled all programs that I didn't have prior to reintalling Vista. I had never experienced this problem during the four years that I've been running Vista. Any suggestions?

  Werfault.exe is the windows error reporting service. type 'services' in the search from the start menu, right click on the "error reporting service Windows" and choose "Properties". In the drop-down list "Startup type", choose "disabled", then restart your computer.

• Is there possible to see which are the background running processes in the system which is having Windows XP as operating system?

  Is there possible to see which are the background running processes in the system which is having Windows XP as operating system?

  There is no resource manager (or resource monitor) in the XP Task Manager.

  Please read these notes I send to the people who are (sometimes) concerned about the svchost.exe process number they see on their system or when it looks like one of their svchost.exe process has run amok.  We can not all apply to your situation, but I don't want to type in a bunch of stuff once again.  Then get Process Explorer and you will be able to be Omniscient:

  To help understand your processes svchost.exe and what is running under them, read this article and you will be smarter than the average bear:
  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.html

  You may be able to get clues with what is happening with your svchost.exe process using the Task Manager and maybe understand.

  You will always be able to understand what is happening with your svchost.exe process if you use Process Explorer.

  Download Process Explorer, so you can see what is 'really' running on your system, especially behind those svchosts several process see you in the running task manager.

  Download Process Explorer from here:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

  You'll like Process Explorer when you get the hang of it.  Process Explorer is the Manager of Windows taskbar on steroids.

  Process Explorer installs nothing so it won't slow down your system since it works only on request.

  Process Explorer can seem a little intimidating at first because it has so much information, but you will begin to make love the way it works when you're looking for performance problems.   You can even say EP you want it to be your new default 'Task Manager' value in the future.  You can always run the original tasks as Manager.

  Once you get Process Explorer running, expand the columns, made drag the corners of the screen for it's largest, etc., so you can see as much information as possible in the window.  Now you can really see what is running on the system.

  Here's a screenshot of my poor system when I use Process Explorer:

  http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2567/ProcessExplorer.PNG

  The CPU column is usually the most interesting start with performance issues - which uses the most?

  It is OK and normal to have several svchost exe processes running.  Important XP Services are actually running under svchost.exe processes. There are sometimes an XP Service that runs under a svchost.exe process, sometimes there are several Services in XP, which runs under a svchost.exe process.

  Sometimes malware will hide behind a svchost.exe process because the malware knows that you won't be able to find it in the Task Manager.  He will hide behind a svchost.exe process to deceive you, but you can outsmart it.

  Malicious software can disguise itself also seems to be a legitimate process of XP or he could hide under/behind other processes that you see running in Task Manager if you can't see the execution.

  The malware would trick you into thinking you must use a System Restore Point, run a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch when you really don't.

  Looking at the display in process Explorer, you want the CPU most to be associated with the system idle process.  It's 'free time' on your system, so more time there, more free.

  If you look at the graphs of performance and see red spikes (or not) double click the graphic in the upper left corner to display the graph to use.  Move the mouse over any pics to see what are the causes.  Even if the Spike has already scroll screen, you can still move the mouse over the edge to see what caused.  You can also just wait for a pic to happen and then see what caused the Spike.

  Hi Baldwin16, Matt

  Welcome to the community of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

  1. who is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

  2. do you use AVG products?

  3. do you have problems regarding the application Vprotection?

  Vprotection is a part of AVG Safe Search Toolbar; Some malware will be a miscarriage as vprot.exe.

  If you have not installed or there is more than one instance running it may be something else. You can check if it is authentic, by locating the file, view the digital signatures tab and checking the signer are AVG Technologies.

  If you have installed the AVG program, you don't have to worry about the processes running on the computer. If you need help with the application, I suggest you to contact AVG support.

• Iexplore.exe runs twice in my task of process manager. How do I know that you close?

  When I turn on the internet, I have an iexplore.exe which uses a lot of memory, more than 200 000 K and one that uses very little of 15, 000 K.  I also seem to have a running explorer.exe.

  Anyone running Windows XP has "explorer.exe" running - it's the office.

  When iexplore.exe is, assuming that you are sure that the two tasks are spelled the same and both are run under the same user account, and then if you have upgraded Internet Explorer to version 8, the reason for the two instances of iexplore.exe is the new browser uses a separate process 'iexplore.exe' for each currently open tab. If you start your browser, you will automatically have two processes, one for the main browser window and one for the first tab.

  Microsoft has implemented this technique in Internet Explorer 8 to accommodate a more effective process to each tab priority. An example would be if you were listening to streaming radio in a tab and the surf in another. The tab that has your focus can and will take precedence over the background tab and cause the radio to cut or even stop. In the new Internet Explorer, each tab has its own procedure that allows equal priority over time CPU and not let not another tab steal the processing time for an another background tab.

  If you don't have IE 8, then you probably have a malware problem.  Download, install, update and run each of these two free scanners.  Do not run both at the same time.  Each will take a while ends, then start it up and then go for a non-it chore.

• Log file of NOD32 which can help diagnose the problem with svchost.exe, WScript.exe, mshta.exe and windefender and update please someone help does not!

  HHmmmm bears ok I will answer your questions, but I don't really see the relivence of them for the progs anti, spy, virus, malware are not the problem.

  (1) a little more than two or three weeks ago or not.

  2A) about two weeks ago.

  No. 2B) I don't buy anti progs that do not work. Why would I? He did not set the blocks just prob the random load IE 8 to a maleware site addresses.

  (3) I got the updated version of Avast for almost two years. He simply blocked addresses saying something was trying to use svchost and WScript mshta.exe to attempt to load IE to a maleware site. I disabled Avast but since the installation of NOD32 if she does not interfere.

  (4) I don't remember what I used before I think it's Norton or macafree but I don't know about two years ago, I had the computer taken, wiped and reinstalled windows and they gave me Avast for free.

  (5) Yes, I tried Norton and Macafree, and they do not work to correct the problem. I uninstalled them well and they are no longer on my computer.

  (6) no they were not preinstalled.

  If you're going to ask me to do a system restore it will not help I already tried. Useless program when you can't use it. I tried several times with different dates, even in safe mode. I already ran on Microsoft Live Onecare, MSRT, Fix and MSE. I have spybot, malwarebytes, superantispyware, synematic and have tried them all. Nothing can solve the problem. Now NOD32 blocks the random addresses loading IE but it is very annoying seeing this thing pop up constantly. The only thing that it does not stop is when I use IE occasionally it will load a location for a Wal-Mart gift card, but I've just close it. If I use a different prog or any it constantly blocks the random addresses loading IE. I don't have IE loaded. Yes I have popups blockers, but it does not block another page being loaded on the card gift wlmart site. everything else works well.

  Please don't give me no matter what more links to the help pages for Microsoft because I already looked through them all and tried a lot of useful advice and none have worked. What I really need Bear is a set of instructions on what or the files to search posibly containing a script that gives orders to the system files to try and load IE maleware sites. I need to know where to look, what I'm looking for and how to rewrite or erase the command or script. Probly get rid of some files HKLM or commands too if there are orders as well. I'm sure you'll tell me its probly in both registry keys. in any case if you can help with a set of instructions on how manually enter and take care of the problem that would be great.

  I have seen the manual of instructions on how to repair scvhost.exe but I'll not go messin' and delete this file cause I know that you need so that windows run. I'm sorry for the poor fools who go on Ehow and follow the instructions. in any case if you can help it would be greatly appreciated I don't have the money right now to put this thing in the shop with Christmas around the corner and all. Peace!

  bear oppss sorry I forgot to say of windows has been completely updated in time and yes I was able to connect to windows update and defender update as well before that happens, but now I cannot connect to a, but can connect to anywheree else apparently on microsoft or other juice of sites not not both.
