What antivirus do you use? Several of them (Microsoft
Security Essentials, for example) contain basically the same
in the defense, then they turn it off.

  • I just installed Windows Defender, but he does not see my Windows XP Security Center. I had to install Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows to see any antivirus. Why?

    I removed Bitdefender because it slowed my computer down a lot. I then installed Windows Defender and updated and scanned the computer (no problem) and said it was "protect my computer". But the Windows Security Center does not see any antivirus, until I installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Why? And are two antivirus programs now runmning together?

    Microsoft Security Essentials need to uninstall Windows Defender when it is installed. If youshould not uninstall via Add/Remove programs. See the following topics:

  • Addition of Google Chrome, now Safari does not open, impossible to link electronic mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

    Add Google Chrome, now Safari opens Cannot link e-mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

    Third party extension and plug-ins?

    If Safari is slow, unresponsive, which closes unexpectedly, or has other issues

    The problem may be caused by a Safari Extension, Internet plug-in or another add-on.

    The safari Extensions, Internet plug-ins, and other modules are designed to improve or customize the browsing experience. Modules are widely available on the Internet, and some are installed as part of an application or other software. If you have Add-ons installed, an add-on might be at the root of the issue.

    If the problem is the unwanted pop-up windows, advertisements and graphics while surfing on the web, discover how to remove the ad-injection (adware) from your Mac software.

    Disable the Safari Extensions

    You can disable Extensions Safari to learn if all are causing the problem.

    1. In the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
    2. Click the Extensions icon, and then select an extension from the list.
    3. Uncheck the box enable disable this extension.

    If turning off an extension solves the problem, look for updates of the extension by clicking Update in the lower left corner of the window. Or remove the extension by clicking on the button uninstall.

    Remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons.

    You can remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons to see if everything is the origin of the problem. To find them, quit Safari and open these folders in library:

    • The library folder at the top level of your hard drive. Open it from the Finder by choosing go > go to folder in the menu bar. Then type /Library and then click OK.
    • The record library in your home folder. Open it by organizing the Option while choosing go > library in the menu bar.

    The folders in the library contains the following folders for modules. Move all the files in these folders to the trash.

    • Internet Plug-Ins
      Do not remove the default Browser.plugin, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, Composer.webplugin of Quartz or QuickTime Plugin.plugin.
    • Input methods
    • InputManagers
    • ScriptingAdditions

    If the removal of the files in these folders solves the problem, quit Safari again and gradually put the files until you find the one at the origin of the problem:

    1. Open the Recycle Bin and select one of the files that you removed. Chose file > back up. The file back to its folder.
    2. Open Safari and see if the problem returns.
      • If the issue is returned, you have identified the add-on causing the problem. Do not use or contact its manufacturer for an updated version.
      • If the question does not return, quit Safari and put back another file.

  • Just upgraded to Windows 10, now Indesign does not open

    As the title suggests, just upgraded to Windows 10, now indesign does not open. It is interesting to other applications CC open, but no indesign. When I try to open from the finder, I get an error indicating that the file ddl virtual studio c ++ 110.dans is missing. I tried all the normal things to make it unmissing, but they do not seem to work.

    If I try to open indesign CC, nothing happens. No error, nothing, I'm just pressing an empty button.

    Thank you.

    Hello, I had actually already tried using the tool unistaller. All uninstalled, then reinstalled, which did NOT work.

    I was upgrade to Windows 8.1 for windows 10.

    I managed to get InDesign to work as follows:

    1. Everything uninstalled uninstaller of windows (and not via CC).
    2. At running the Adobe uninstaller tool (it has not found anything however).
    3. After I installed CC, I noticed that CC has reinstalled the package to redistribute C++ 2008 I've heard causes problems.
    4. I uninstalled then manually C++ 2008 package, but left 2012 and 2015.
    5. Then I installed InDesign. When I installed indesign it installed a few other packages C++, but... Responsible inDesign! Still a bug or 3 but it works at least.

    It worked for me.

    If the video isn't an article purchased on iTunes Store (such as a movie or TV show), you can convert it in iTunes (on Mac) in a format that works with iPad.  The video must be in your iTunes library, so you can select it.  The command is in the iTunes menu bar, file-> create new-> Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
