• Why did Windows using stealth tactics and install updates without permission or notice?

  Why did Windows using stealth tactics and install updates without permission or notice?
  It becomes a regular event, it also seems to restart in the middle of the night to set up these updates. I don't know what the intention but
  [Vista 32 bit] I returned this intrusion in the files to my PC and I always despise microsoft to decide to act like a pirate.  I'll give microsoft some time to answer this, but I expect to be as horrible as they are usually with the customer service.   So in a few weeks, I'll start to smear the name of microsoft as much as possible and sway anyone my possible to buy non-Microsoft products.

  Change how Windows installs or notifies you of updates

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates>

  If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

  You can change the AU for the "updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting. Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded, the updates are installed and where they are installed.

  I prefer "check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting.

• Firefox sends reports of incident without my permission

  I noticed that Firefox was to send crash reports to Mozilla without my permission several times lately.
  Under "data selection", I see crash unchecked, but the notification window appears now and then after a crash.
  I have never checked "notify Mozilla this crash...» "When this box appears, but when I go on: crashes there are a number of reports. How can this happen and how to solve? Re-install Firefox, maybe?

  Update:

  It seems that these reports did not come at all, but just on hold. I went into the folder "pending" on my computer and deleted everything in it and after that the reports had left the "submitted" list when I visited on: fails. Whatever it is, it is little misleading to list reports as submitted when in fact they are not.

• Hello am installed without my permission

  Hello app or the "Start a Conversation" icon appeared in my browser Firefox/interface without my permission tab. I remember getting an email saying to start a Conversation, I downloaded from the app store (itunes) and then as quickly as the open email, he disappeared without deleting me. I never downloaded anything like that. When the message has disappeared, I thought nothing of it, maybe that I supported on delete by accident and thought it was just spam anyway. Today, I noticed this icon appeared in my browser without doing me anything. It's a face smiling when I spend said start a Conversation. Do I have a virus? I use a Macbook Pro with installed Yosemite. How to remove this icon? I removed it from the browser interface using customize, but I don't know how to remove it.

  Hello is a new feature in Firefox 34, and it has been recently updated in Firefox 35. It allows to launch video calls with anyone in the world for free with no account. Hello Firefox - voice and video online conversations

  If you don't want to use it, simply remove it from the toolbar using the Customize menu, it uses no additional resources if you do not use it.

  Just a tip, this has nothing to with e-mail on the subject of "Start a Conversation", you received from the App store.

• Why Web sites is permitted to open additional instances of the browser web firefox without my permission? It is one step away from pages Web infect my computer.

  Sites of anime I've been visiting years now the following happened when you connect to AnimeFreak.tv or Justdubs.net - who are normal:

  During a second instance of Firefox opens without my permission and without any warning.

  It appears on the wall announcement. Sometimes it's a regular advertising, and it was sometimes adult.

  I'd appreciate it greatly in the next update of firefox something can be installed that brings a pop up that allows you to block it if you choose or make sure there is a checkbox additional security as blocker called blocker of the Forum or something that would block such action that web pages. This security hole is a step away from a Web site that infects a computer with a virus. This seems to be something of a new technique of advertising as I only noticed it happening last week. I took a screenshot of one of these cases. This is an advertisement for Gamemazing.com. I don't see a way to include an attachment otherwise, I will send the picture as well.

• I had access to my Bookmarks Toolbar wthat wrhen in fullscreen. Tried to disable the modules and plugins that have been updated without result. Suggestions?

  The add-on updated to date has been "Roomy Bookmarks Toolbar" to the 1.3.4 version and the plug-in has been Microsoft Siverlight to 5.1.10411.0 that were made earlier today. I don't think my daughter would have deliberately tried to change the settings without my permission. I have disabled them individually and with no positive effect. I know I have had access to him last night then in full screen (online game) when I open Facebook. Is anyone aware of a parameter which may affect this issue?

  You can use the code in userChrome.css to have the toolbar of bookmarks visible mode full-screen.

  Add code to userChrome.css below default @namespace.

• How can I get rid of the toolbar Yahoo, which has been installed without my permission?

  All I wanted was to download a Power Point Player. Instead, I had I don't know how many modules that I never asked and have now TWO toolbars of Yahoo at the top of my Firefox browser! How can I get rid of these? I tried to install a previous version of Firefox, which has not helped at all. Apparently, Firefox can remember everything you have ever done because toolbars are still there. I really get off on sites web loading things on my computer without my permission. Please help, everybody!

  VERY DANGEROUS as there are KNOWN security flaws that make it very likely your machine will become infected.

  If you are not running 3.6.24 you update as soon as POSSIBLE. http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/all-older.html

  If you actually run 3.6.8 you skip these instructions.

• How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

  How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft Web site, I clicked the options which mean that I would not need the CD (which was not provided with the laptop), but poartway through the service pack update, I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Did you mean an office or a note?
  As far as I know the a Note is part of the recovery Image and the CD is not supplied with the unit. In addition, Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.

  However, have you checked to aid either in Word update function?

  You will find an option called verification of updates

  Join the club of those of us who don't like Quicken 2015 or 2016 Quicken; even if I bought it for a 40% discount offered by Intuit!  I was just disappointed by Q2016 compared to Quicken 2007!

  If you have upgraded to the 16.2.3, version it will work well in El Capitan!

• Is there a way of decompression Tempro updates without having to buy Winzip?

  Is there a way of decompression Tempro updates without having to buy Winzip?
  And why the files are downloaded in this way? Why no exec simple files from Microsoft?
  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  You n don't need to buy anything.
  WinZip is free. You can also use the WinRAR.
  You notice just a pop who recommend buying a full version, but it is not necessary to decompress single packages.

  As I have said; install WinRAR. I use this tool too. in my opinion it of better than Winzip.

• How to clean WInSXS folder was updated without having to install on Server 2008 diskcleanup

  My question is possible to manually remove updates without installing diskcleanup on my 2008 R2 Windows server or any other server.  The reason is that they said that install diskcleanup causes the disk compression so I need to find alternative solutions to clean up the disk space.  I recently downloaded TreeSize Pro (freeware) on my Windows 7 computer to test.  The program works well by showing you which files are used, but it seems the Winsxs folder is a good place to start, or maybe it isn't.  I just basically want to delete files on another server of companies without users calling to complain that they lack shortcuts etcs and need a place to start.

  Also is there a way to run speaker program via web or you must have something running on the real server?

  Thank you

• Can't update without Windows of self-destruction!

  After the update a few weeks ago... Bad software removal tool... My father PC had white exclamation points all on that screen P.O.S.T.... then the screen would go and NOTHING...! Restart, and then go to the Startup Repair tool... Windows Startup Repair tool cannot fix... you want to restore?... long story short... so the only thing that worked was a REINSTALL FACTORY...

  NOW... I can't update anything... Update Windows and not even a no driver for the graphics card! If I... I will return to white exclamation on fullscreen P.O.S.T.... then NOTHING... points! I've restored the system several times and tried to update, only to have this accident to happen once I update... There's something like 83 updates and it's too much to try to step up to the problem... Heck I think is not yet get it until the first service pack!

  On top of OFF... Microsoft tool for support does not even recognize its product ID... even when I enter it manually... all YES, I'm in the correct information!

  As you can imagine, it's really a bad situation and bad support (no I don't want to pay Microsoft an another $50) it made it worse. After buying Windows since Win95, Xbox, 4 Xbox 360 (thanks to free material you knew was broken) and a Zune... I really think to change and do not return!

  Someone at - he lived it and managed to isolate the problem... I have the exact system he has, even screen, same graphics card, etc... and I am able to update without ANY problem!

  Thanks in advance! And sorry if I'm angry... I worked on it for about the last three weeks!
