I normally get automatic updates, but a yellow shield appeared saying: there are Windows updates and I have to click to get them. Is it a scam?
The title says it all. This has never happened before and I'm afraid it's a scam.

Glance at it... might therefore an update, he wants that you take that you approve and agree before it will download and install it.
Sometimes I'll see a glitch where Windows updates has wants to repeatedly download the same update, but according to my history of update (more a check in Control Panel), it is already installed. It can also be A Windows Update that you do not need... get the KB # you search here or on Bing or Google and can easily determine if that has occurred to other users. I usually just hide the update and spend and don't worry it...
Follow this thread in the case where someone suggests something to you but...
Kind regards...

Allowing computers
There is no such list. You can do this:
Exercise
You can disable allow individual computers, but only using these computers. The only other option is to allow "overall" your iTunes account.
1. open iTunes on a computer
2. from the Store menu, choose 'View my account... '. »
3. sign in with your Apple and the password.
4. under 'Computer permissions' select ' All of authorize.
5 allow each computer you have, you might need.
You can do this twice a year.
After you 'off to allow all' your computers authorized, re - authorize each of them according to the needs.
If you have authorized out of all computers and had to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - contact us.
For more information on the authorization and permission removal: iTunes Store-Authorize or remove approval from your Mac or PC.

I am trying to solve a problem that will probably require a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The grace period ends in 3 days, and the next 30 days are final exams at the College. I have 2 licenses (and product key) of Windows 7 Pro, but my drive HARD goes wrong and I don't want to use MAK activation. I will be eventually to replace the disk, but is now bad timing.
If a reinstall is needed, I was going to ask if anyone knows how to set the strategy of perhaps a GPO where Windows is updated automatically in the background and after installing updates, 45 or 60 minutes, then restart. The goal would be to have a computer fully patched when I wake up in the morning.
This is my plan:
Install Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit > Windows automatically updated and plug the Ethernet cable > define a GPO where the computer waiting for 45 to 60 minutes after installation of updates (so the msi may end in the background, and I do not interrupt the installation) > the PC will restart > more update swill be downloaded and installed > wait due to the policy of GPO before reboot > Reboot > do it until it's over. > wake up with a PC fully patched 7-9 hours later.
Is this a workable plan?, and if so, how do I define policies such as delay restarting, etc. to achieve?
The reset did not work. It would be a simple solution. I have a valid license, but I don't want to replace the HARD drive until after final exams are over, so I'll reinstall and activate. I try to achieve in the next 24 hours, so it doesn't keep me from my school work. I must also support and will then replace my files.
Feel free to advanced used terminology. I have some experience.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Another question: should I install a security suite before all updates being installed more than 12 hours, or wait until later? What is the level of risk?
Anyone used Ninite to automate the installation of other programs? Is how safe it?
Thank you!

I was not able to open my my Adobe Illustrator application after update. He says there are a few problems with the preference but after following the instructions, Illustrator still does not work and it keeps giving the samei question. Help, please.
I think you are talking after upgrade to CC 2015 you're not able to launch I. Also, I believe you speak for read only matter of preference.
After following the instructions please do not launch Illustrator and check your file preference if the permissions have been set correctly. A good way would be to get inside the preferences folder and then try to create a file manually. If it succeeds, please write to [email protected]

I opened firefox there are 2 tabs and a banner beneath them that says "mozilla firefox is free software and open source of the Foundation not-for-profit mozilla." I clean everything before I use the browser. Whenever I change my STARTUP "homepage" when I close the browser and open it again it all boils down, nothing changes. What is the problem with firefox?
This has happened
Each time Firefox opened
Is a week ago
Perhaps the solution to the Firefox says it's just updated each time that it starts - how to fix will work for you.

Deleting photos, but it still says there are 900 MB photos.
Hello
I just removed all of my photos in my iPhone 6, but storage has always said that I have photos for like 929 MB.
The funny thing is that when I check iTunes, it says I have 355 photos taking 944MB. But I just removed everything from the phone by going to pc > iPhone > DCIM.
Anyone know what these "ghost" pictures are and has a solution for the problem?
I have not synced all photos from my computer to my iPhone and my iCloud and photostream are turned OFF.
Check first of all, the album recently removed in Photos, which is a novelty after iOS 8.1. If it is empty you may have come across a strange bug where deleted photos are not actually deleted. To check what followed these rather strange instructions:
- Go to settings/general/Date & time
- Disable automatically the value
- Tap the current date/time and roll back about 2 years
- Click general in the left upper corner
- Launch the Photos app and go to the recently deleted album (even though it says there are 0 photos)
- It is full of pictures? If so, remove them
- Return to settings/general/Date & time and restart the value automatically

It is an old iOS bug 8

Until a few days ago I was able to print a PDF from Acrobat Reader ms in Windows 7. Now I get "the document could not be printed." The next panel says "there are no pages selected to print," even if all the pages have been selected. I've uninstalled Reader and reinstalled, but the problem remains. I also tried to repair the installation and that doesn't work anymore.
Thanks for the tip. It turned out that kind Reader has been commissioning in protected mode. I changed the setting and it prints now as before.
Thank you

In the pages of the coursera.org forum, there are different icons and buttons. They do not display correctly. I can see only tiny forms square with characters in them. Hovering on them can display information in some cases, but it is not very convenient. Although they recommend Firefox, I use Chrome instead. Chrome has no questions here so far. Is it possible to view these icons correctly?
Many sites now use downloadable fonts to create their icons instead of the traditional image files. So, there are some Firefox settings that might be a factor, as well as the NoScript extension, if you use this (blocked objects).
(1) in the dialog box fonts Advanced, unchecking the checkbox which allows the site to use its own choice of fonts. To check that:
"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > content > button "Advanced".
Here you must "allow pages to choose their own fonts.
(2) on the deactivation of fonts downloaded in: config. It's less likely, or you remember probably not, but here's how to check on it.
- In a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
- In the search box at the top of the list, type or paste the gfx and make a pause so that the list is filtered
- If gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled preference is bold and user, set false, double-click it to return it true.
This seems useful.
