: I hundredsnof K0000 security notice on my system from 2007. I can remove them safely?

Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

    Hello

    Here's what I recommend you do:

    1. disable UAC (do this if you are using Vista or Windows 7, otherwise, go to step # 2). Comes down

    restrictions - turn it off completely.
    2 restart your computer for the change to take effect.
    3 re - download the update of security for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB982331) from the link below:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7f89a734-cda4-4abb-9a10-f6dfe560e8d0&displaylang=en
    4. install. It should work fine.
    5. If it still does not work, try to open all or part of your MS Office applications (such as MS Word, MS Excel, etc.).
    6. follow steps 3-4.
    7. If it still does not work, follow step # 3 again. After you download it, try unplugging your computer from

    Internet (unplug the internet cable or turn off the modem). Then, try to install the downloaded file

    (KB982331). It should work this time.

    Do the same for all the updates that come with KB982331, IF ANY.
    Let me know your results.

    Hi Jay Cee.

    1 - is the only update that's been prompt to download it again?

    2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    Usually, this would happen if the update is not installed correctly even after trying it manually from the installation of the update.

    I suggest that you completely remove this update and then download and install it manually and check.

    (a) open the installed updates by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click programs, and then, under programs and features, click view installed updates.

    (b) click the KB982331 update to remove, and then click Uninstall. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Method 2

    I bet that if you check the size of the file that has been downloaded it will be probably very small, indicating that it was not downloaded correctly.

    I don't think you have another computer at hand, or a friend with a USB key which may be able to download and copy it for you?  Maybe burn it to a CD or something.

    I could download it and save it to my desktop so I am confident that it is not a problem with the link itself or the file is available for download with success.

    I know this isn't a very good suggestion, but the only other option would be to challenge support and see if a technician can take control of your machine and see if they can solve the problem of internet explore.

  • How can I remove Bitdefender Total Security my Windows 7 system 2015, except by reinstalling Windows?

    BitDefender Total Security 2015, I installed on my Windows 7 system, and I want to remove it.  BitDefender seems designed to prevent users to remove and prevent users to install another security software.

    Try to remove Bitdefender via the window programs and features left my system messed up so badly that I had to use to restore the Image to recover, and I got same bad results with Revo Uninstaller.

    BitDefender has installed files who just won't stop running, and who cannot be stopped using autoruns.exe.  Several services of Bitdefender and BitDefender Parental control cannot be stopped, disabled or prevented from start.  I don't want or ask Bitdefender to install one of these things, but they have been installed in any case.

    I have carefully created a Restore Point before installing Bitdefender, Bitdefender blocks the use of system restore, and my system images that were created before that I installed Bitdefender have been corrupted, so, unless I can uninstall Bitdefender, I'll have to re - install Windows and then re-install all my software.

    Manual of BitDefender claims that Bitdefender can not be uninstalled completely by the conduct of the Bitdefender uninstall.exe, and that parts of the program that have been left in the system can cause problems.  It's a horrible euphemism.  BitDefender, so uninstalled with Revo Uninstaller, leaves thousands of entries in register behind, and Bitdefender services are not removed.  BitDefender manual gives instructions to remove the remains of Bitdefender parties, but following these instructions still leaves parts of Bitdefender which interfere with the system and prevent installation of other security software.  BitDefender, too, when it is uninstalled, install a different anti-virus program says, "so that your system will not be left without protection."  This alleged antivirus seems to do nothing, but prevents the installation of other security software.

    I want to remove Bitdefender because he's such a Devourer of resources that it prevents the use of other programs.  My computer has a processor Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, which takes place at 3.0 GHz and which does not appear to be sufficient for Bitdefender.  It radically slows down startup, slows the recovery of standby or hibernation and slows the start of other programs.

    I bought Bitdefender because I couldn't find the copy of Norton 360, I've used for years, and because the prices of the products Norton seems to have jumped quite abruptly.  I will now buy Norton Internet Security and Norton Utilities, even if they cost me almost three times the amount I paid for Bitdefender.  The Norton programs work, they do not slow down my system, and you can remove them if you want.

    Go here for Bitdefender removal tool

    http://www.BitDefender.com/uninstall/

    In addition, if you start in safe mode and you can then run the system restore.

  • I had Cogeco security Anti Virus etc installed on the computer, called and asked them to remove it, and when they did, he deleted Outlook Express too.

    I had Cogeco security Anti Virus etc installed on the computer and called and asked them to remove it and when they did... He also took off my e-mail Outlook Express6 program.  After talking to them... they said was probably altered the outlook express and take off the anti virus program him took off the corrupt outlook express as well.  Can someone tell me where to find a download for outlook express6 for windows xp professional?

    Thank you

    original title: download of outlook express6

    They screwed something. OE is a part of IE6 and both are part of the XP operating system. You can't take off OE is there a standalone download.

    Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Add/Remove Windows components. OE is checked and restart.

    If OE is verified:

    Right click on the desktop | New | Shortcut. Navigate to "c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe". Click next | Click Finish.  It will be a new shortcut on the desktop.

  • I get the error message "security log is full, only an administrator can log in to solve the problem."

    On a windows machine XP after putting in place the machine administrator and when trying to connect as a user, I get the error message "security log is full, only an administrator can log in to solve the problem." I know how to solve this problem by going to the event viewer, by selecting the security log and by setting the journal to "ignore the events as needed", but I would like to create a script that will do this automatically for me.

    so far my research revealed that the value of the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Security] "MaxSize" controls this setting and changing the value default DWORD_VALUE to 0 x 01000000 to 0 x 00000000, change is possible. Well, when I did it in regedit, nothing has changed in the security log properties, the default setting of 'remove older items after 7 days' remained the same.

    Can someone tell me what registry key, I need to change in order to make this change? Keep in mind im trying to include this in a script.
