I need to buy an anti virus, spyware, malware that is compatible with windows 8?

Recently I learned by Microsoft engineers in India to get rid of my Norton Antivirus because it was a compatibility problem with my Windows 8 operating system.  It was based on something on New Years Eve brought back my computer and Microsoft had refresh and spend 6 weeks to correct their mistakes, I guess.  So I did what they said and put on Window Defender who works, of course, with the firewall and Microsoft information, it will cover all issues between the 2.  There is something else to my computer using window defender and stop all services, including Audio of 7 days.  So, not being not able to repair myself, I brought to the Geek Squad at my local Best Buy, where I bought the computer.  They looked and said there was no way to turn the services don't turn it back on and the best solution is to completely uninstall Windows 8, if Windows 7 is still on my computer, it was.  I got it home and reinstalled Windows 8 and wanted my Norton, which is bought and paid for by internet until December 31,2013.  I wanted Norton on because Best Buy told me that Windows Defender was not good enough.  And they were very firm on this matter.  I will reiterate that Microsoft/India was very firm about the use of not no Norton, than to use the window Defender.  I called Best Buy using the number that my local Best Buy store I was given and said that they would be able to install again.  They said that they could not do it because I have dial up and they do only access remotely with wireless internet connections high speed.  Moreover, they did this for me once, just after I lost it on New Years Eve.  So now, I'm so angry.  If I go to Best Buy locally to reinstall they probably charge me.  After all, I just stood right in front of them less than 48 hours where they could do it then and they said no, that the services of Best Buy Nat' l/subscription would do it.  So now I'm looking for a new virus protection that is compatible with Windows 8 and is good.  Price be doomed.  I need something good!  Recommendations there or websites for more information.  I tried Cnet for comments and could not make it appear that I have 2 moths ago.  I just don't remember which they recommended.  McAfree was one, I think only.  And it doesn't seem to be compatible with Windows 8.

    Windows 7 has a feature of executing programs that are compatible with a previous version of Windows. If you have Windows 7, then you can run programs that are compatible with the following versions of Windows: -.

    1. Windows 95
    2. Windows 98/Windows Me
    3. Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5)
    4. Windows 2000
    5. Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
    6. Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
    7. Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1)
    8. Windows Server 2008 (Service Pack 1)
    9. Windows Vista
    10. Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
    11. Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
    12. Windows 7 (obviously)
    In your case, you want to run a program that is compatible with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) , then I don't think there should be a problem to do so. Is there a programs on Windows 7 Compatibility Wizard, which helps you run programs that are compatible with a previous version of Windows. You can follow the following steps to run the program compatibility Wizard.
    1. Open the program compatibility Wizard by clicking the start , clicking Control Panel, clicking programs and then click on use an older program with this version of Windows.

    2. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation for the program and, using the wizard disk, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    To change compatibility settings manually for a program, right-click the program icon, click Properties, and then click the Compatibility tab.

  • So, my computer has a virus moneypak and ontop of the said virus pro safety. And I can't download any anti-virus scan malware to get rid of them due to my failure of security scanning.

    So, my computer has a virus moneypak and ontop of the said virus pro safety. And I can't download any anti-virus scan malware to get rid of them due to my failure of security scanning. So I went to check on my Microsoft Security databases to see what is happening, and it will not even open! Whenever I click it, it says "You don't have the right permission to open" (my security essential has been like that for maybe a week now. and I just received today two viruses) while I try to uninstall, but it won't allow me because of something not having the right to access and contact an administrator. So I can't open the MSE, can't uninstall it, can not download any virus anti-malware to get rid of the moneypak and pro. I'm so lost, please any suggestion on what I can do to fix my computer would be greatly appreciated!

  • I think my IE has a virus but not of my scans for virus or malware checks come up with anything. Is there a way to check this?

    I think my IE has a virus but not of my scans for virus or malware checks come up with anything. My computer is running VERY slowly, lagging behind, or even on an occasional basis freezes and stops when I'm on the net. Computer function uses only the net works fine until a program I use try to use Windows Explorer. Is there a difference between Explorer Windows and Internet Exporer and is there a way to check this, other than the usual scans. I have McAfee and AVG, as well as malicious software running on a schedule and they are still running in the background, constantly analyzes the sites.

    I am at a total loss here. I use secure sites (https rather than just http) when the choice and do not use sites that McAfee or AVG is marked as dangerous. It worries me that I have a lot of things, such a Bank, online and not worry that someone could get information. I recently also maually run the two scan disk and Defrag but they can also be programmed to run on a schedule. The model is NOT saved. When I tried ot create a backup disk, when I first bought the model, something has gone wrong, and he refused to back up then reset would mean a great loss of material. If it's a virus, worm, etc., it is done gradually and I'm not sure that a restart of the plant would be useful it is in IE or Windows Explorer (if there is a difference).

    Yes, it is safe to uninstall McAfee.

    Need a (free) compatible with Windows 7 driver for Lexmark Z13

    Hi nikua,

    According to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center https://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=Lexmark%20Z13%20Inkjet%20Printer&v=Lexmark&uid=16000&pf=3&pi=0&c=Printers%20%26%20Scanners&sc=Ink-Jet%20Printers&os=32-bit the Lexmark Z13 is 'compatible' with Windows 7 therefore the default drivers should be sufficient.

    Of course this model is no longer available for Lexmark won't provide drivers for Windows 7. If you can't get your printer to work then maybe it's time to think about buying a new.

    Do I need a firewall if I have installed the basics of microsoft with windows vista x 32 Security. If I do how can I download the microsoft firewall?

    Your quick response would be appreciated
    Edwardini

    Windows Firewall is delivered with and is part of the Vista operating system.
    You already have it and, therefore, you do not need, or you, can download another Windows Firewall.

    Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) will close your Windows Defender because MSE has its own advocate and performance 2 defenders in the same machine allows to create conflict, not to mention redundant.

  • I want to install the Commander of the force star wars on my new PC, but says it is not compatible with windows 64-bit. I try the windows XP mode and it tells me that I need to connect a hardware device 3D

    I want to install the Commander of the force star wars on my new PC, but says it is not compatible with windows 64-bit. I have try on windows XP mode and it tells me that I need to connect a hardware 3D device. I really love the game and I want to use it again.

    Any old copy of Windows XP that could be installed in the host system? If you do not, it should be available at a modest price of an online seller. Perhaps (I'm not too), even an old Windows 98 TO work. The game (using a 3D engine) will not work under pure DOS, so you need a Windows environment so that it can work. Just FYI: If you get this old classic to run, new issues may arise. Known are the "mss32.dll" runtime error (you may need to replace this file with the newer version of SW:KOTOR 1) and the issue of video cutscenes (the games uses an obsolete video codec, Smacker - either you find an old *.) DLLS for it or have you convert movies in a modern format).

    In conclusion: get old games to run on software/hardware modern (it is not only a problem of BONE) is one of the most fascinating and rewarding challenges to a real fan. But do not expect it will not be easy "out of the box" (or simply insert a CD).
