Firefox needs to update immediately!
Your version of Firefox (18.0) is vulnerable and needs to be updated.
Attack pages are trying to install programs that steal private information, use your computer for other attacks, or damage your system.
Some attack pages intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.

Hello, yes it's a phishing tactic that tries to trick you into installing malicious software, in order to not download or run this kind of stuff! updates are managed automatically by firefox, so you don't have to download anything.
You can also run a full scan of your system with software security already in place and the various tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner & kaspersky security scan to make sure there isn't already a kind of active malware on your system that triggers these false alerts.
Fix Firefox problems caused by malicious software
You can also help by pressing F10 & will help > report false web while you are on this questionable page - this might get the page in the list of malicious sites that crash in firefox (the list is maintained by google) or when these pages use the firefox logos or trademarks to encourage users to download malicious software you could also send it to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/.

Hi Lydia,.
There are three services that are important to check, download and install the updates. These services are Background Intelligent of cryptographic services service and the Windows update Service. These should be in the started state and currently running on the computer so that the computer connects to Windows Update Server, check the update that corresponds to the computer, and then download them accordingly.
Follow the steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2730071 and make sure that these services are started on the computer. If they are, then if he please stop and then restart the services. Restart the computer once that change in services.

Original title - Vista sp2 64-bit windows program update is not running
When I open the program "Windows Update", it has an "X" in a red shield symbol. When I click on the tab "Check for updates", I instantly get a message that says: "the Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running." You may have to restart your computer. When I click on the button 'Start' and the window appears with the options of closing down, change user, registration, etc., the first button shows an orange exclaimation mark and when selected the computer seems to make an attempt to download whatever it tries to download. However, it never downloads anything, and the rest of the exclaimation mark orange. How can I solve these two issues? I'm guessing that repair will set the other.

Something (update may have failed) preventing the upgrade to 8.1
Hi all. Looking for help with my problem!
I have an ASUS PC with Windows 8.
I have been automatically updated to 8.1 when it came out, but problems with her has made my laptop unusable so I handed over to 8 and weeded the updates that force the upgrade to 8.1 and prevented.
I like go to 10, but to upgrade to 8.1 firstly, apparently.
To do this, I was informed by the 8.1 download page to install a few missing updates. I went to the updates and everything except a properly installed update.
The update that didn't settle was KB2920189. I searched for help and found that a lot of people had this problem, but all seemed to speak to install on servers etc. (also sounded as if it was an update from 2014, so I don't know why he didn't score himself before, I regularly check updates.) The advice given causing a dangerous boot or something and advised to not to do this unless you know what you're doing. I did not, so I didn't feel uncomfortable following this Council!
The only thing I could think was to hide the update, I did. Download 8.1, then worked, but the installation failed. I guess it's because of the update failed, but I'm not 100% sure.
Can someone help me understand what is happening? All I want to do is get to 10 Windows!
With many thanks in advance :)

See if the clean boot system configuration allows the system to communicate fully with the update servers - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista
NOTE: In the clean boot state will be disabled all firewalls of part 3.
Make sure that the native Windows Vista firewall is now on in the Panel after system restart to clean boot state.Once the system has been rebooted as a clean boot, open Windows Update and do a check of updates. If update functions now you know for some that BitDefender has generated the access denied message.
However, it may have changed some system files or registry permissions and a clean boot will not solve these changes.If this solves the problem of update, cancel the clean boot configuration and restart the system to normal Windows mode.
To speak frankly, suggest you contact BitDefender or use their forums to find out why this problem occurs - BitDefender Forum > Home and Home Office Protection

Body, SOUL, and CUDA: what is really going on here?
I bit the bullet and picked up a new Quadro 4 K for my Mac Pro. The videos we do with Premiere Pro will include a multi-cam small-scale, PiP CUDA processors may help clear with. However, I am a little puzzled by something: what is really going on here behind the scenes, so to say? I can't to this question from the point of view software/computer geek, a montage of a video. I am sincerely interested in what happens between body, SOUL and the nVidia card.
First of all, I asked this question in July. At the end of the thread, Todd said that if I have the tail export with the SOUL, then the rendering would be done by the CPU. Very good, but something happens with the SOUL and the nVidia card. If I enable the GPU in the body and then export it through the SOUL, the newspaper of the SOUL looks like this:
-Source file: Volumes/users/jvp/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/Multi-Cam Test.prproj
-Output file: /Volumes/Users/jvp/Desktop/multi-cam_1.mp4
-Preset used: Custom
-Video: NTSC, 1920 x 1080, 29.97 FPS, out interlaced
-Audio: AAC, 160 kbps, 48 kHz, stereo
-Bitrate: VBR, 1 pass, target 6.00, Max 10.00 MB/s
-The source is désentrelacée
-Encoding Time: 00:20:09If, however, I disable the GPU in the body and export the same sequence by SOUL, the paper reads:
-Output file: /Volumes/Users/jvp/Desktop/multi-cam-no-cuda.mp4
-Preset used: Custom
-Video: NTSC, 1920 x 1080, 29.97 FPS, out interlaced
-Audio: AAC, 160 kbps, 48 kHz, stereo
-Bitrate: VBR, 1 pass, target 6.00, Max 10.00 MB/s
-The source is désentrelacée
-Encoding Time: 01:18:32A notable difference in time. In addition, during the first export in the SOUL, the GPU is definitely used to about 33 percent or more. Clearly, it's something. What I'm curious to know is: what? It is the rendering of the PiP while SOUL exports video? Or...?
JAS
It is the rendering of the PiP while SOUL exports video?
Yep, it's what he does. Steve Hoeg, one of the engineers of Adobe that works on this kind of thing, mentioned in a recent thread that exports pending SOUL of Premiere Pro and material while MPE/GPU acceleration is enabled will take advantage of GPU acceleration. It's a good Thing (tm).
I don't remember where the wire is where Steve mentioned that, but Todd actually had it wrong in this case. That's fine, since we were all working in the hope that Todd was really the situation. That is why it is so big, when the propellerheads (I say that with affection) pop here and the value of the record straight.
Bottom line: you get exactly what you paid for--actually, maybe more!
