MPMiniSigStub.exe has just appeared in the E: drive - do not know how or why

Hello

I just noticed a new folder in my E: drive I don't create, called 14442a029a6ced39ab27dda8ac.  In this folder is an application called MPMiniSigStub.

I had a glance around this forum and others on the web, and I understand that it is something to do with the Microsoft security updates, etc.  Most of the places mentioned that she has to do with Microsoft Security Essentials.  However, I have not installed (I use Avast 5.0).

My laptop is Vista 32 bit SP2.  I use Windows Defender and Windows Firewall.  I also Avast Anti-virus duration and Prevx 3.0 (limited, free version).

I would like to know if there is any reason to worry about this new folder, and demand would it not wise or foolish to delete?

It may be a virus masquerading as the real program, but on the other hand, it might not. There will be NO problems if remove you it.

  • each download will in pdf file that opens in windows media center, I can not pull up or the play .i see the file but do not know how to access the media center.hope it makes sense.

    I have media library but do not know how to open files that is downloaded.

    Media Center does not open PDF files and PDF files have nothing to do with playback of music or videos.  Somehow, downloads do not create the appropriate file types.  Where are you these downloads?  Can you give me a website?  You want to download (images, videos, music, what)?  What version of Media Center do you use?  What version of Vista are you using?  How do you download files and if you use a browser, which is the name and version of the browser?

    Thank you!

  • Find the ipod but do not know how to find the owner

    An ipod has been transformed into the lost where I work a few weeks ago. I want to find the owner because the L & F will be thrown in a week and it's more than a loss of pair of mittens or a thermos. Unfortunately I can't find the details of the owner because they turned on find my iPhone and ipod is now locked without the Apple ID. For some reason they have not picked despite having find my iphone turned on, so I think that they should not make the notification for one reason or another. I really want to find the owner, the case is pretty childish looking so I think that it belongs to a small child, if I contact the apple support they will help me? Is there a way I can contact the owner? I heard that apple doesn't do much to help, but I'd like to try.

    No. zero here or at Apple can help you to find the owner.

  • Try to run a P2V on Linux (RHEL5) server for the first time, may not know how to get * started *.

    Hi - I'm trying to figure out how do a P2V for a Linux (RHEL5) server, and everything I find documentation seems to start with, «now that you have the Converter Wizard run...» »

    (Linux Linux Linux, no NOT of Windows)

    Can I buy a vowel on how / where can I Start, from the beginning, please?

    I am running VMware VirtualCenter 2.5.0 (build 119598) using VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5.0 (build 119826), and everything works fine.

    I have the plugin VMware Converter Enterprise 4.0.2 installed and enabled on the virtual circuit.

    I downloaded archive VMware Converter (autonomous) "Converter-4 - 146302.tar.gz", but have not yet installed all this anywhere.

    I can't find anything in the VC on the converter, beyond that the plugin is installed and activated, so I guess that I don't start the conversion process.

    Here's my question:

    The converter is supplied with a server, a Client and an Agent.

    Simply install the Agent on the physical Linux box I want to convert, the Agent and the customer, all three pieces or what?

    Once I have some parts I need installed on the physical area Linux, start the conversion from here, or from the VC or what?

    Y at - there a page somewhere that describes it in a way that is useful for someone who has never done this before?

    Any help, pointers, advice, suggestions, acts of mercy greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    OK, this isn't really as complicated as you make it to be:

    1. you ran Setup on a machine that can reach the source and the ESX on the network.  You are trying to install 'this' or ' only that. "  You install.  The only difference between a "local installation" and "installation of client server", is that it allows you to install the client on another machine and control the Converter on this other server machine.  Maybe it's not necessary for you, but it does not hurt so I always do.

    2. you start the Client of converter (vmware-converter-customer) on a machine where you installed everything.

    3. you choose the IP accessible (from ESX) the source for the source power Linux machine remotely.

    4. you select the target ESX (or the Victoria Cross, but there is really no point, you can simply point directly to the target ESX).

    5. you enter a static IP address of VM for assistance if necessary.

    6. you look at the progress meter and see the conversion complete.  You don't need to worry about what anyone else unless you have a firewall preventing circulation.

    P.S., Another user has published this guide to make a LInux P2V with converter, you may find useful:

  • How the XML element used in RTF PUBLIC/PRIVATE? I know how to hide columns in RTF, but do not know how to generate xml below way. Help, please.

    Hello

    I'm following link below to show/hide my columns dynamically. See "formatting of column.

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E12844_01/doc/BIP.1013/e12187.PDF

    According to the doc element can be made in private/public.

    <items type="PUBLIC">
     <item>
      <name>Plasma TV</name>
      <quantity>10</quantity>
      <price>4000</price>
     </item>
     <item>
    

    And even can be used to hide the column with the help of State

    <?if@column:/items/@type="PUBLIC"?>
    

    MY QUESTION IS HOW TO DO THIS IN MY XML BELOW?

    Here's the part of my XML code that I use in the definition of the data to RTF.

    <group name="GH3" source="QH3">
    <element name="COLUMN_HEAD3" value="COLUMN_NAME" /> 
    </group>
    <group name="GH4" source="QH4">

    I'm out like that.

    <LIST_GH3>

    </LIST_GH3>
    <LIST_GH4>
    <GH4>
    <COLUMN_HEAD4>XYZ</COLUMN_HEAD4>
    </GH4>
    </LIST_GH4>
    

    In order to use the logic according to the oracle document I want output like this.

    <LIST_GH3 type="PUBLIC">
    <GH3>
    <COLUMN_HEAD3>REBILL_TO_OTHER_BUSINESS_UNIT</COLUMN_HEAD3>
    </GH3>
    </LIST_GH3>
    <LIST_GH4 type="PRIVATE">
    <GH4>
    <COLUMN_HEAD4>BLANK</COLUMN_HEAD4>
    </GH4>
    </LIST_GH4>
    

    Should what changes I make in my XML to get the result of the execution as above? Help, please. Where should I make changes in the XML above? Name of the Group? Name of the element?

    I intend to use it under condition in RTF model to hide the column, but do not know how to set the column as PRIVATE/PUBLIC type in the XML output that is used to populate the data in the RTF while running.
