MSN security
Hi I keep getting emails from my contacts, but this is another Web site using my contacts to send me your emails
is my pc at risk?
I had norton 360 and vista
Hi laztv,
If the emails contain links unsolicited, we suggest to not not to open it.
Your computer is not at risk, however as you said that you have Norton 360 on your computer I suggest you install the latest update of the software to make it work properly. Then run a virus scan to make sure that the computer is not infected with the virus and Trojans.
In addition, you can also run a scan for viruses online from this link:

What is the price of MSN Premium?
I used to get MSN Premium free with my Verizon account. Verizon has sent a notice that it would be more free, but I don't know what is the price?
Hi Pat,
There are two price plans for former Verizon with MSN Premium customers. The $59.95 package year gives you telephone 24 / 7 technical support and MSN Premium Internet software you receive today: great security software with McAfee AntiVirus Plus - MSN Edition and Spy Sweeper from Webroot® for MSN, advanced junk e-mail filters, guard pop up and several e-mail accounts.
Alternatively, for only $9.95 per year, get MSN Premium Economy Pack which includes the same integrated our browsing experience full of MSN Premium price but with the technical support provided through forums of users, rather than by phone. McAfee® AntiVirus Plus - MSN Edition and Spy Sweeper from Webroot® for MSN security offerings are also not included with the economic package of MSN Premium.
It's: MSN Membercenter.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Hello

it look like you or the other person has sent the e-mail. Someone intercepted an email and
It may not be you who caused him. Account of a friend could have been consulted
or even someone could have sent an email on your behalf to someone else who has been

MSN Outlook, hotmail "IE has blocked this site to display content with security certificate errors. Click here for options... »
How can I get rid of this irritating pop-up message whenever outlook is open?
Without knowing what are certificate errors, it is a shot-in-the-dark.
80 90% of certificate in Windows XP errors can be attributed to one of the following two issues:
- Time Date, time, time zone, or light of day on your computer is/is not set correctly. The time on your machine should be within 5 minutes of real time for certificates authenticate properly. Right-click on your taskbar clock, and select time settings to check the correct time. Synchronize time via Internet can solve this problem.
- Windows XP does a poor job of keeping its root certificates (certificates by which all other certificates are considered) up-to-date. The newer versions of Windows did a much better job. It certainly wouldn't hurt to update your root certificates and in many cases, this is all you need. For update, visit the following article:
"Members of the certificate program root Windows.
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931125 >
Then go down to the subsection titled "root Update Package (for Windows XP only). Then click on the option "update for root certificates for Windows XP... "the link. This will take you to the last downloadable update. Download the package on your computer and double-click it to update your certificates
One of the above should solve your problem.

My problem is two (or three) times; Windows Security arrested Esentials closed and not would again be turned on; Windows Security Center is disabled and will not respond to all the methods of the market; IE 8 sends all Google search clicks to redirect pages and makes the back browser arrow almost impossible to use. E-mail MSN will not accept all attachments - blocks the browser window. I uninstalled Security Essentials and reinstalled nothing doesn't. Have gone to Spybot and Adaware and installed these programs and run them to "clean" the everything unwanteds but re-boots of a Security Center right back. No idea at all what to whether on programs related to the re - search on Google. Uninstalled and installed the final license, two of them I had to Norton 360. This program after hours of in-depth analysis has nothing found was not in the line of virus, worm, or whatnot. Help! It's maddening. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Hi ChazboK,
1. are you able to send attachments to other webmail?
2. What is the size of the attachment that you join?Note: you should never have more than one security program installed on the PC, providing active protection / scan. This can cause performance problems, system instability and may adversely affect the effectiveness of these two products to provide protection.
Scenario 1:
I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if the browser redirects.
After reviewing the question you must reactivate the security on your computer program.
Note: run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.
Step 2:
Second, the problem may be caused by an add-on corrupted in Internet Explorer. To confirm the same, run Internet Explorer in safe modules mode, and check if the problem persists.
Open Internet Explorer in mode without modules,
a. click the Start button, click all programs.
b. click on accessories.
c. click System Tools.
d. then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).If disabling all add-ons solves the problem, you can use the add-on Manager to disable all add-ons and then turn on modules only as needed. This will allow you to figure out which add-on is causing the problem.
Remove the damaged module and restart Internet Explorer normally and check if the problem reappears.
After you have used this process to determine which add-on causes errors, you can disable this add-on. Or, you can uninstall the software that installs the add-on. We also recommend that you contact the software vendor that provided the add-on for additional troubleshooting and support.
Step 3:
If the method above does not resolve the problem, then I suggest you to perform an optimization of Internet Explorer on your computer and find the number.

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.We know if you need help with Windows.

How can I disable the Security Mode to allow me to watch Youtube videos.
Hello!
I use MSN 8.1 on a newish HP Pavilion 21.
YouTube recently began telling me that it can not display until I got disabling the Security Mode.
It seems to work correctly in the past. Do not know what is happening.
Thank you
LP.This is a feature of YouTube.
See this - https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/174084?hl=en"Security mode is an opt-in setting that helps to filter potentially inappropriate content that you may prefer not to see or don't want to other people in your family fall on all taking advantage of YouTube."

Why can't I get the MSN homepage?
I tried and tried to get the MSN home page, but it happens as a blank page. I have no problem with it on Internet Explorer. I can't get into my email accounts. I have no problem with the page Yahoo or My Qwest.
Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.
Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.
