I am so tired renewal norton windows popping up all the time. Thanks for your help

Hello

To add the good advice of TG, you don't want two of the main antivirus on the computer products
at the same time much less running. Don't forget to use the removal of the machine tools to prevent
problem causing leftovers when you want to uninstall/remove an antivirus/security products.

Norton - removal tool

Removal tools
http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/msestart/thread/407bf6da-C05D-4546-8788-0aa4c25a1f91/

Here's what I use and recommend:

Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.

Prevx - Home - free

Windows Firewall

Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

Protected IE - mode

IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)

Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

I hope this helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 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.

  • Confusion about the size of the array in Oracle 11 g

    There is confusion about the size of a table. When exporting schema 'CRESTELWOMPRD601', the log file shows:

    _____________________________________________________________________________________

    . . exported "CRESTELWOMPRD601." "' TBLRSUBSCRIBERFIELDWORK ' lines of 12.62 GB 35568

    ____________________________________________________________________________________

    which may involve the size of the TBLRSUBSCRIBERFIELDWORK table is 12.62 GB.

    But when I find the size of the table using the query:

    SELECT nom_segment, BYTES / 1024 / 1024 "SIZE (MB)" FROM dba_segments where owner = 'CRESTELWOMPRD601' and nom_segment = 'TBLRSUBSCRIBERFIELDWORK. '

    He said that the size is only 9 MB for the TBLRSUBSCRIBERFIELDWORK table.

    I hope that my request is clear that there is no clarity on the size of the TBLRSUBSCRIBERFIELDWORK table.

    Please get back with the answer to my query


    Concerning

    Dba_segments indicates the space allocated to the segment while expdp indicates the size of the exported data, so if you had a table with a measure of 1 MB, but no data, dba_segments would 1 MB and expdp would report 0 bytes.

  • Confused about the extension of the Sprite class

    Howdy-

    I learn programming with object oriented ActionScript and am confused about the class Sprite and OO in general.

    My understanding is that the Sprite class allows you to group a set of objects that you can manipulate all the objects at the same time.

    I explored the Open Flash Chart code and note that the main class extends the Sprite class:

    Base/public class extends Sprite {}

    What this lets you do?

    Also, on a related note, how to draw, say, a line once I extended?

    Without extend Sprite I could write:

    var graphContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();

    var newLine:Graphics = graphContainer.graphics;

    ...

    And it works very well. Once I have extend the Sprite class, I'm lost. How can I modify this code so that it still draws a line? I tried:

    var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;

    My understanding is that since I extend the Sprite class, I should still be able to call its method chart (or property? I have no idea). But, he screams at me, saying "1046: Type was not found or is not a constant of compilation: graphs.»

    A number of things.

    First of all, I would not use this approach in your table constructor. Setting the width and height only makes sense if you adjust the width and height of the existing content, and the table (Sprite) does not at this time here. If you want to give the table a 'size', you could do it like this:

    public function Chart (width: Number, height: Number) {}
    This.Width = width;
    This.Height = height;
    put in a background invisible to this size:
    this.graphics.beginFill (0,0);
    this.graphics.drawRect (0,0,width,height);
    }

    There are other ways, including putting in a form or a Sprite of child as a child for the background so that clear will not erase the background of the chart. This way you could have properties for the background in your table class and update the background as a child DisplayObject instance... a few ideas to think to...

    Then, after that, your chart should be functional...

    Then back in your scenario, you could do this:

    import graphics. Table;

    Stop()

    var myNewChart:Chart = new Chart (300,200)
    myNewChart.render ();
    addChild (myNewChart)

    Hi Julia,

     

    Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

     

    You are unable to print and get the error message.

     

    I imagine the frustration you feel when you are unable to print.

    This can happen due to connection problems, malicious content or third-party programs.

     

    1 have you tried all the Troubleshooting steps?

    2 is the computer, or a printer attached to a domain network?

    3. are you able to print from Notepad?

    4. what documents do you speak?

    5 is the full error message?

     

    To check if it's because of connection problems malware content follow the steps mentioned below:

     

    Method 1: Run the troubleshooter

     

    See the site:

    Open the printer Troubleshooter

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter

     

    Method 2: Scan the computer to remove all possible malicious content

    See the site:

    Microsoft safety scanner

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

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 3: Clean boot

     

    When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

    See the site:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 .

     

    Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 3 in the article to restore your computer to normal startup.

     

    Note: If in case you are connected through a wireless connection and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check see topic wireless are turned on (Enabled).

     

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, let know us and we would be happy to help you.
