If the window Defender performs the same work as McAfee Total Security, why is it when I uninstall the McAfee I get a message that I don't have anti-virus protection?
Above says it all.
Above says it all.
They do * not * do the same thing. Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program only. When you uninstall McAfee, you have p anti-spyware [protection, but no anti-spyware protection.]
Moreover, in my opinion, McAfee is one of the worst of the available security programs. For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (do not run more than one) of the following three:
Avira AntiVir
Avast
Microsoft Security Essentials

There are / were three problems:
1. why, when I open Firefox 9.01 this I get a message that I don't have the most recent when version help > on Firefox said I do?
2 also, with version 8 of xx, I was unable to open a new window with a right-click, until I upgraded to 9.01. (Old problem now, but I'm curious).
3 when I tried to uninstall the old version of the uninstall program told me that I had to close the open version, but it was closed according to my taskbar. I also have this problem with Thunderbird.1. you are using the latest version which is Firefox version 9.0.1
From your description, it seems that if you still have the old start page for Firefox http://www.google.com/firefox hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default home page is no longer used as topic: Home is in use since Firefox 4.0
Ignore the message, change the homepage of topic: Home, replace it with another page or leave blank.

I get a message that I don't have the latest version of Firefox. I just updated and downloaded the Beta Version 11. Why do I get this message?
The current beta version is 12 of Firefox, but if you're not a tester experienced, so it is best to stay with the current version of Firefox and uninstall the beta version.
You can find the latest version of Firefox in all languages and for all systems operating here:
- Firefox 11.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

Cannot be saved in my folder
When I came to my computer, I had no problem recording on any folder of the user. Then, recently, my hard drive was a
malfunction and I lost all my data and I have OS Win7 reloaded. Now I can't save anything to
any folder of the user. I get a message that I don't have permission and admin contact (which is me).
I would like to know how do I configure admin so I can save anything in folders.
This feature for you telling the truth is a real pain. It's a family computer then why is it necessary?
Some help would be appreciated. »
BobWhat you say seems very strange. Let's drill a little further:
- Click on the globe to start, type three letters cmd and press ENTER.
- Type the following commands EXACTLY as they are and press ENTER after each one:
MD C:\Logs
Set Log=C:\Logs\Log.txt
NET user "user %%nom" > Log %
the value > Log %
Copy Journal % c:\Users\Bob 1% > Log % 2 > & 1
cacls c:\Users\Bob > Log %
Notepad % log - Mark, copy and paste the text into your response.

Real user frustrated here. I had no problem opening and viewing my photos until recently. I don't know if this has nothing to do with the activation of my smart TV to access my pc and see these photos, but the timing seems too coincidental. Now, when I try to view my pictures in Explorer mode and using the image viewer, I get the message, "Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the location of the file."
I've included some screenshots to show you what that my security on the file properties tab:
It seems that the only way I can get to see these photos is to go through each and every one of them and click on the Advanced tab and change the permissions by removing those listed as the Group weird UID and then add my pc and allow full control, I can then see the photo, but again, I must do this for EACH picture I have at least a 1000. Suggestions as to the current operating system and if there is a quick way around this? Note that I did this one at each front and now there is also a handful of photos I can not display. It's as if they were changed to the original user. What is going on??? Help!
Thank you Ramesh sponsor! I tried, but as the process began, he grew up an "access denied" that it travelled all the files he was trying to change permissions for. It seems that I can do this for each individual file, but not for the record as a whole. Still puzzled.
Dean,
Take ownership of this folder and try again then assign permissions. See: -
file HAL.dll
When I start my computer I get a message that says that the file\system32\hal.dll. is damaged or missing. Please reinstall a copy of the file. I have the original Windows XP CD and I tried to re - install, but it will not go beyond the implementation of window. I can't sign in to windows. How can I reintall this file? It's extremely likely that you will need to replace the hal.dll and since there are seven files on the XP installation CD that will extend into hal.dll, which would you choose? It depends on your hardware, but it is extremely likely that the problem (did I already say that?). I've never had to replace a file hal.dll for this problem.
The real problem is most likely that XP just can not find the file because of a file system corruption or a file c:\boot.ini afflicted.
For this error, I would always be first boot from the XP Recovery Console and sometimes run a chkdsk-r that will fix things right to the top.
If the chkdsk /r is clean and you have the same problem, and then re-create your c:\boot.ini file but rename the old one first so you don't build on top of those afflicted - this tidbit is absent from MS KB article that assumes too.
You can do all this in the XP Recovery Console, but do go through these methods in this article and see how you go.
For example, method 1 will not work if your system does not start. You may have more luck with other "methods".
If that doesn't work, then I suggest to provide a little more information about your system:
Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system. Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.
Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.
Provide information on your system, the better you can:
What is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
Your system have IDE or SATA disks?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?
You have a real installation CD bootable XP which is the same Service Pack as your installed Service Pack? (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

I have first items 13, recently installed on a new laptop of Dell Inspiron 17 5000 Series. The program works very well. However, when I have access to the program, I get a message that there is an update available, 13.1. I let him go ahead and do the update before using the program. It only updated, then restarts first elements 13. As soon as the program loads, I again get the message that 13.1 update is available. How to stop the happy ground?
RTA,
Thank you very much for your answers. As you suggest, I went to the help/updates and found that 3 points were scored update, Manager, 13 Photoshop and first elements 13 elements. On a hunch, instead uncheck one of them, I thought I'd see what would happen to let update all 3. It took a while, but, long story short, stopped the happy Vangogh and everything seems fine. Thank you for your messages, much appreciated. Walt Maken

Want to 110 e - all-in-one printer D411. When I enter my efax number and PIN on the printer, I get a message that my login is not valid. However, I can go to the efax website and using the same number and pin code, I can connect on the site. How can I fix it?
Try to connect without the '1' in front of the 10-digit number, if you are not already using the 1, place it in front of the fax number. If this does not work, try disabling ePrint, and then put it back slot under the web services menu. This menu is in setting up the icon on the front panel that looks like a key. Then after that tap on the icon of webservices (the one that looks like a piece of paper with a target behind him) and then re - print info/report Web services page and then try to connect again.

What happened to the button on the left end of the address bar which allow you to see the pages you had been so that you don't have to click the back button several times? You can look at the drop down window of pages and just choose whatever you want. I use it all the time and it is not on FF4. I want to go back to the old FF.
If you right click on your back button, or click and hold down the mouse button, it will display the list. (I prefer a click-right, because sometimes my fingers slide when I try to click and hold)

I have a macbook pro: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram. 10.7.5 version. When I open some websites, I get a message that web browser is obsolete. I use safari. When I do a software update, it says that the software is up-to-date. Help, please.
Safari maxes in a version of Mac OS x. New version of Mac OS x would be needed for the new version of Safari.
Firefox is not limited within an OSX and probably has a version that works. Chrome may as well but is a Devourer of resources. Opera is a third option.
