  I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

  We will cover all the possibilities.

  1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

  Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

  IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

• How can I prevent the shutdown task scheduler engine, get the new display detected to work and avoid receiving the message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop"? __

  My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1520, running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium and Internet Explorer 9.  My extra monitor is a Sharp Aquos LED HD - TV, the model LC-46LE700UN.  I've been using a VGA cable to me onnecter the laptop and TV.

  The laptop seems to operate normally when not connect to the TV.

  As soon as the VGA cable is connected to the laptop (without being connected to the TV), the following message appears:

  'Microsoft Windows - Task Scheduler engine has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found. »

  When initially, I connected the laptop to TV, "new display detected" was automatically acti EV.  Soon, it was activated is no longer automatically.  I was able to activate manually using Windows Mobility Center during automatic activation failed initially but now Windows Mobility Center no longer detects the new view.

  Using Fn + F8, I can view the image on the laptop or TV, but not both simultaneously.

  The message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop" appears intermittently, but I can still make internet sites and show the content after the message.

  I have download software, myp2p.eu, a site for watching TV programs "streaming", including PPStream, Sopcast, Live, Stream Torrent Sina, a Swarm, TVAnts, UUSee, VGO and Veetle player and canceled downloads for PPL (who failed an integrity check), PPMate (corrupted) and (blocked) TVKoo.

  Norton Security quarantined the installer of UUSee, indicating that it was a high risk of program with many users.

  To a computer repair shop and using a different additional display flat screen, I could not duplicate the problems yesterday (4 October 2010), when the "new detected display" has been activated automatically, and I could see the photo or the other and both screens.

  I tried to restore the system to a date (on the list) before when the problems occurred first - failure of the restoration of the system.  I tried to use scandisk, but received no indication that he had performed and corrected all errors found after restarting Windows.  I looked at responses from forum, the display setting and the new display detected support literature.

  How can I avoid these problems?  Help!

  Restoring the system end up with any error message?

  This could also happen if one of the substantive programmes is in conflict with the proper functioning of your computer. To troubleshoot error messages and other issues,
  You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Steps-
  1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights
  2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue
  3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
  4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

  Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services.
  If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use with existing restore points system restore utility

  Hi Jaaz76

  
  Method 1:

  You can perform a security analysis and check if there are viruses or malware present. Check out the link below to run the scan and check if this helps-

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Method 2:

  Also I suggest you perform a SFC scan and check. To Perform a Scan SFC -

  a. click Start, click programs, on Accessoriesprincipally made, right click guestand then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow

  b. type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  c. a message indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient, because the analysis may take some time

  d. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. Hopefully though you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

  e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  Check the link below for further guidance on scan SFC - mentioned

• error message "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" on click with the right button in my computer

  I had this problem for awhile now.  After I receive and send the error report my computer is blocked and I have to finish by WTM. I tried to start in safe mode and it was ok there and when I restarted in normal mode it was ok for the rest of the day, but when I put the computer today the problem reappeared. Dr. Watson is also sometimes with an error message.

  I am running XP with MS and updates.

  Would appreciate some advice.

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song...).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After launching ShellExView, under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move the column Microsoft closer to the top, so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the column header for Microsoft sort display (by clicking on the column of Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are on top and easy to see.

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.
  You can Google something like:

  Explorer XP crashing (you must fill in the name of add your suspect on.)

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in groups of 3-5 at a time), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to behave, you will know that an extension of this group of 3-5 is the culprit in order to start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Don't forget - disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled so you can always turn it on again.  In this way, you can switch back and forth, enabled to be sure, you have the right extension under control.

  Disable them one at a time until your right click on do not generate an error, then restart and test again to make sure the changes 'stick '.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also just disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find an extension that caused the error, and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.

  As of late, when I open any photo or video files (those that I opened in the past) I get that dreaded "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close... blah, blah, blah!

  I could not find any information on this error, except the one person that I know who maintains computers of the University of Missouri, said that he had this problem, and it was somehow related to the fact that he had too many thumbnails in the folder/drive.

  I didn't think that this is the case and think it is much more insidious than that.  Could use any help to solve this issue up to and including the repair of Windows Explorer (with the hope that I don't have to reloadt the operating system).

  I saw that error and even if it says access denied it will actually save your changes.  After you disable all move forward and apply then restart and see if it kept the changes.  If it's not then I hope that you are able to borrow a disc it would in time look for resettlement.

  The best way to solve this maybe just create a new user account, transfer your personal data to this account, and then delete the old account. Make sure that you perform the system restore after you did the new account and everything works fine. To purge the system restore, simply disable it then again. Be aware that the creation of a new user account is not the means to get rid of malware. But it is perhaps the best way to get rid of some of the after effects. However, I recommend you scan with Malwarebytes before running these instructions. After scanning you may not create the new account.

  In addition, Jose is correct. Good number of new forms of malware prevent the start in safe mode. Trying to force booting in SafeMode with msconfig, you end up with a boot loop.
