Microsoft / Internet problem

OK, my mother was online on his computer and went to watch music on MSN video earlier today and a window pop up something called 'Point of thinking' and he had the logo of Microsoft. It leaves him online and he won't let him get on some applications like the Task Manager etc. He keeps wanting to install the full version of what it is for a certain price. She also won't let you restore your computer or stop "Point of thinking." So no use 'think' something Microsoft or it's some type of virus, hack, worm, trojan thing. If it's Microsoft you can tell me how to turn it off or if it is not Microsoft you can tell me how to fix it?

Thank you

    am under explore 8 and it is updated. Is there any help out there for this? I'll be bald if I can't solve this problem quickly.

    I will try to reinstall the Windows Update Agent Installer.  Here is a link to the Microsoft site that explains how to do this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104.

    Go to the section How to get the last agent to update as it is already installed.  Scroll down to the section on the additional information tab called Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (I checked that it also works under Windows 7).   Choose one that fits your computer (x 86, x 64, Itanium).  Run this update and follow the instructions.  Windows Update will now be reinstalled, but it's a good idea to restart at this point.

  • How to remove Babylon Search from Microsoft Internet Explorer

    I just copy the question of CraigBrownND April 10, 2011 because the same happens to me.

    The response by isa alu_dk not good because in my registry isn't any key as they say.

    My solo PC registry keys that are also starting to HKLM \Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ are

    HKLM \Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main, Default_Page_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157

    HKLM \Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main, Default_Search_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896

    HKLM \Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ Main, Search Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896

    HKLM \Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main Start_Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157

    Anything that ends with "All URLs\Tabs", as you can see.

    The research of Babylon appears from nowhere, just 3 days ago and never I had this problem before in all my of my PCs and laptops. It comes unsolicited interference and I'm looking for legal professionals do recommend including FBI - Cyber investigations just in case where that would apply.

    Please notify.

  • Microsoft Internet Keyboard stops working when loading Windows XP when!

    My wired Microsoft Internet Keyboard works fine most of the time.  Every now and then, however, when I load Windows, the lights go out on the keyboard and it no longer responds.  To fix this, I have to uninstall it in the Device Manager, then restart.  Then, the keyboard works fine.

    I have installed Intellitype Pro and a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 with Intellipoint.  Oddly, in the Device Manager, there are two keyboard drivers display - one for a standard Microsoft PS/2 keyboard and the other for a Microsoft USB dual receiver wireless keyboard (that I never installed).  Can someone tell me how to solve this problem continuously please?

     

    What happens if you disable "Microsoft USB double receiver Wireless Keyboard?

    If you've never tried, simply, right click, click on disable and try a reboot.

  • Internet problems with a computer Windows 7 wireless

    Hello. My problem is that I have an ACER with Windows 7 computer and I've had it for awhile (about a year or more). He never gave me no internet problem until a few days ago, when he started having connection problems. My computer has been without internet since two and a half days. Whenever I try to look for the problem, he tells me that the computer is connected to the router, but that router is not connected to the internet. I tried to restart the modem and the router several times without success. The thing is that, while my computer does not have internet, my cell phone and the computer of my partner (for laptop with Windows 7) do not seem have a problem using the same network of the internet, which makes me believe that the problem is in my computer.

    I have a SB5101U of Motorola SURFBoard Cable Modem and a NETGEAR RangeMax 150 wireless router.

    My computer uses an Atheros AR5B95 wireless network card. (My partner runs Realtek RTL8188CE wireless adapter)

    Would it be a virus or something? Because I've scanned my computer with my antivirus to find something wrong, but it does not yet detect. Please help me and thanks a lot for any help or advice you can give me.

    You have McAfee?  If so, see this "criticism" McAfee reviews -

    Some customers may experience a loss of network connectivity and/or errors in McAfee Security Center after a recent update

    You should make the fix McAfee, if necessary. There are corresponding communications for their enterprise products.

    I had to run their removal of McAfee Development tool a few times before and it caused a problem with the license if the PC was not connected to the internet during the abduction. Due cat of McAfee support reset their files in order to allow the relocation-reactivation. Here is their link cat - McAfee - media contains the link to the cat

    I got McAfee, but the connection has started working again on its own so I thought I was clear of problems. However, when I checked it says he was doing routine checks the updates in vain when I told it to do a manually. So stick with McAfee you don't follow their procedure of fix would have upgraded my PC at risk by not updated and, like other McAfee ads have since explained, the application did not refer to its database of threats correctly [and this could explain part of the variability of the symptoms of failure but all involved loss of internet connection]. Actually, I removed McAfee then installed Microsoft Security Essentials rather & my answer IE is faster I knew it [even though I had the Add-ons McAfee disabled for centuries].

  • I forgot my microsoft internet security and acceleration server password and username

    I forgot my user name and a password for microsoft internet security and acceleration server

    Hi Tom,

    Unfortunately, we are limited in what we can do to help with password lost or forgotten by Microsoft Policy, which applies to anyone who answered questions here. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189126.  But there are a few options to try:

    You have another administrator account where you know the password that you can connect to the password changes to this account?

    First of all, make sure that you do not have the CAPS LOCK SHIFT keys or Numlock enabled - this can change what you think, you type in something else (different case or a number or a letter) and the system see what you entered as incorrect.

    Second, if you have another keyboard, you can use with the computer, try to do this. Maybe it's that one of the characters of your password is not working properly on the keyboard or the keyboard is inserting extra spaces or something else that makes you think that you enter won't be not what you're really in.

    Unfortunately, if this does not work in this case the only option, we can suggest is to restore the system to factory conditions (or do a clean install). But too late for this time, next time create more than one administrator account in order to have a backup in case something like this happens again. A new installation will create a new administrator account. It allows to do some backups to avoid that from happening.

    I'm sorry, that we cannot do more to help.

    Good luck and best wishes!

  • The Microsoft Internet Server will host Windows XP or after April 8, 2014 product activation?

    Original title: for Windows XP product activation

    I understand that support and security updates for Windows XP is scheduled to be completed April 8, 2014.

    Now, here's the scenario.

    Suppose I have the installation CD of Windows XP. I installed it on my desktop PC. I need to have activated the or after April 8, 2014.

    The Microsoft Internet Server will host for Windows XP product activation?

    Hello

    This FAQ http://www.microsoft.com/norge/piracy/activation_faq.mspx says:
     
    Microsoft use activation to force me to upgrade? In other words, Microsoft will never stop giving activation codes for all products that require activation?
    No, Microsoft use activation as a tool to force people to upgrade. Activation is simply a tool in the fight against piracy, nothing else.

    Microsoft will also support Windows XP activation throughout his life and will probably make the point that turns off activation at the end of the life cycle of the product so that users would be more needed to activate the product.

  • Internet problems: can't use it in safe mode with networking

    original title: Internet problems

    My computer connect to internet wireless whenever I turn on my laptop; However, I still can't access internet. I have to go to safe mode with networking to get internet. What can I do? My Xbox is connected to the internet with no problems at all.

    Hi Aaron,

    What antivirus do you use? Since you are able to connect mode without failure, it leads me to believe that this is caused by a program that you run which restricts navigation. Try to disable all antivirus software and try to get online.

    Just note that it's always a good idea to always have an antivirus running. But not more than one at a time can cause problems.

    I hope this helps.

  • Internet problems after installing vista SP2

    I'm running IE8 and yesterday I installed Vista Service Pack 2.  After the installation, I got an internet connection, but could not access all pages including my home page.  The pages would hang and the little blue circle would go round and round and nothing happened.  I also have Firefox downloaded on my computer, and still the same thing happens again.

    I checked my system tools in the lower right of the desktop and my icon for connectivity internet local and internet had a red cross on it that has not changed.  I restarted my computer several times and nothing has changed.  I used the prompt commands and ping google (my homepage) and found within seconds, so the connection was there but not able to access all pages.

    I am running Vista Home Premium as my 32-bit operating system.

    To cure the problem so far, I did system restore and completely got rid of the installation.  As soon as I did, my internet was totally fine with IE8 and Firefox.

    Any suggestions, I won't install SP2 again until I know what has caused the problem of the internet, and he was healed.

    Hi Smokeycat,
     
    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Windows Vista Answers.
     
    Since you have already restored the computer and the internet works fine, try to reinstall the stand-alone version of Service pack 2. Later, try to connect to the Internet.
     
    You have security software installed on the computer? If so, try disabling the security software and install the stand-alone version of service pack 2.
     
    Try to install the stand-alone package for Windows Vista Service pack 2, access the link below and download the file to the desktop. Later, run the installation of Service pack 2 from the office.

    If the problem persists after you have installed the stand alone package, reply came back with the details:

    1. try to boot into safe mode with network after installation of Service pack 2 and try to access Internet
    2. in normal mode, try to right click on the network icon in the taskbar and click on diagnose and repair, if it gives any error make a note of it and we gives the error.
    3 - is wireless to a wired connection?
    4. do you have any router installed?
