• I have a spyware or something bad. It won't let me download anything to try to clean

  My computer is running XP SP3 and I have a virus or spyware... .and don't have the disk to install xp... and what that it either won't let me download anything to try to clean... I'm desperate please someone help me... He also removed all my restore points, so I can't restore it even at a good point... it doesn't let me do anything to try to make it go away.

  Hello

  1. what Internet browser do you use on your computer?
  2. that you get an error message when downloading a file?

  Method 1.
  If you suspect a virus activity I highly recommend to run a Scan of Virus online.

  Sometimes the security program installed might not be fair enough. I also recommend you update your security software regularly.

  a. follow the link below to start the free online scan:
  http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

  b. run the malware removal tool from Microsoft.

  Microsoft Malicious - 32-bit removal tool
  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=en

  Microsoft Malicious removal tool - 64 bit
  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=585D2BDE-367F-495e-94E7-6349F4EFFC74&displaylang=en

  Also I recommend you to install the free security software from Microsoft. Which is easy to install and automatically updated
  Here is the link to download.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/securepc

  Method 2.
  If you use Internet Explorer 7 or later you can try the steps below and check if you are able to download the files.

  I would recommend you to optimize internet explore.
  See the article below for steps optimize internet explore.
  How to optimize internet Explorer?
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936213
   
  b. If nothing works to solve the issue try reset Internet Explorer.
  How reset internet Explorer?
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737
  IE reset warning:
  Please note that reset the settings of Internet Explorer running resets all of the settings defined by the user, including those established by the installed extensions, toolbars and other add-ons for IE by default. This includes all the security, privacy and settings area. Also this will erase browsing history, delete all temporary Internet, cookies, form data files and especially all the passwords.

  If the problem persists I would ask you to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer and check.

  Method 3.
  Check to see if the problem exists in Mode safe mode with networking. See the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

• My phone won't let me download anything it says that there is a problem with my account

  Original title: I need help

  My phone won't let me download any thing he says there is a problem with my account but when I click next to fix it there is nothing

  Open accounts settings and tap on your account and let it sync. Otherwise, create a new account and the old account will remain intact. Otherwise reset your phone if you want to use the current account after installation to reset your phone as you do when you buy it and then enter your current account, this will remove all the defects of phone too and you'll be able to get things.

• Why Firefox won't let me download anything?

  Basically, I had a problem these days. I can't download anything on Firefox or another browser, I try to use. Files download without problem, and when he's doing so I can still see the files under development in the appropriate folders.

  However, when the download is complete, the file just... disappears. It's the same for every file I try to download, not just one or two. Ranging from games, music, etc.

  When I search upwards in the start menu, it appears, but when I click on it, he said, it is looking for the file, but I can choose to search for it myself, leaving me very confused. Go to the location of the file takes me to recent, where it shows the files that I downloaded as 1 KB shortcuts, but with the original file nowhere to be found.

  If I may note, after downloading these files disappearing always occupy all the space on my drive that they argued that they could not only 1 KB. In addition, about a week or two before this happened, my computer mysteriously started losing a lot of space on the C: drive, to the point where I got a warning for having such space low; even if I was not doing something. Not sure if that plays one any part in this regard, but I thought I would add that in any way.

  Someone here has a solution to this? I wish I had answers, please.

  If download hangs at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause may be an antivirus software that tries to parse the file and during this process the instance of Firefox crashes.

  To resolve the issue, try disabling the analysis as follows:

  1. In the address bar, type Subject: config and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click on I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue on the subject: config page. A list of parameters must appear
  3. Filter the list by typing in the search bar at top. Enter scanWhenDone. Now you should find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference.
  4. Double-click this preference to set the value to false.
  5. Then, try to download something and see if it still crashes.

  Please reply and let us know if this helped you!

• Won't let me download anything not "enough disk space" when I have over 200 GB of available

  All of a sudden my late 2011 macbook pro does not allow me to download anything on the internet. It is said there is not enough free disk space to however I have over 200 GB of free. When I look at the internal drive and the drive macbook hard disk, it indicates that the hard disk is completely full when I run disk utility, but the only thing that I should have on my Mac hard drive that has plenty of space. Nothing seems to work. I tried to repair/correction of disk utility and it does not say there is a problem, but obviously something is not seriously. Help, please!

  If you try to add a large amount of data at once, and you receive an alert about the lack of space, then in the menu bar, select

   ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine

  If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preferences window, click on it to unlock the settings and to authenticate. Turn off the Machine time and then back on. Close the window.

  Restart the computer. Test.

• my computer is compromised it won't let me download anything

  Are you sure that your computer is compromised or is that just your messed up Windows Installer?

  Can you try to start in safe mode and install it in safe mode with networking?

• My computer won't let me download a cd of new material. Said hardware has not passed windows logo testing.

  I want to add an adapter usb to my computer to watch movies on my TV. It came with the software, however the download access is denied.

  When you install the hardware in your computer (almost always), you must install a 'pilot', which is just software that tells your operating system (Windows, in your case) how to communicate with the hardware.

  Microsoft has a program she calls 'the logo test' which enables a company to label its products with the Windows logo.  Not every small manufacturer wants to go through the load of this test program, but if a company is trustworthy - and Trendnet is - then the fact that their products have not passed official testing procedures from Microsoft doesn't mean that their products will not work with Windows.  This is why you can usually ignore a message to the effect that a product has not passed Windows logo testing - if you also a pretty good reason to believe that the product will work.

  So just follow the instructions supplied with the adapter installation, put on the CD and install the software.  But the installation of this card is only the first part of your trip.

  Although I've not set my TV to watch streaming video from Netflix or Amazon, as I understand it, you need a TV that can be connected directly to the Internet.  In other words, you cannot download and save a copy of the video complete on your computer and then read it from your computer to the TV.  That's why's called it "streaming" video - you're not supposed to save a copy to your computer, but rather to look at the 'stream '.

  Thus, Amazon said, "the easiest way is to connect your TV to your router or modem broadband (DSL/Cable, for example) with an ethernet cable.»

  A lot of people with a connection broadband has a router, which has generally 4 Ethernet Sockets (and perhaps a point of both wireless access).  If you had one, you would just connect a "vacant" Ethernet between the TV and a cable to your router.  You, unfortunately, have a router with a single Ethernet Jack (I know you thought it as a modem, but it's almost certainly a modem and a router inside a box of Physics).  So, as you acknowledged, you don't connect your TV to the cable modem because it would need to disconnect your computer.

  You have two choices.

  You can buy a cheap Ethernet switch (e.g. this one) which would connect you to port on the back of the modem cable and then connect your computer and TV to two of the other ports on the switch.  This would probably work without having to make adjustments to configuration on your cable modem - but in the past, some customers wanted cable ISPS to pay extra for each computer connected to the modem cable and makes it a little difficult to so add connections on your own.  I don't think that is always the case, but because I don't have cable - especially not the same cable ISP like you - I don't know about you.

  Or you can buy a second Ethernet adapter of your computer (which is what you did) and then set up the "Internet connection sharing" (ICS) on your computer so that the TV can connect to the Internet through your computer.  Because you have already purchased this material, you probably want to set up ICS.

  Although there are many websites that explain how to configure ICS, because XP is becoming obsolete quickly, many of the older sites are more fully functional, including one who should have been better to show your situation (sharing a connection to local network to the Internet with another connection of LAN)

  Use the Network Setup Wizard.  Go to network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK) and click on "Set up a small business network or home."

  The 3rd screen looks like this--> http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows_XP/Network_Setup_Wizard/03_%28directly_connected%29.shtml

  Choose the first choice.  Even if your computer connects 'via a residential gateway"(your cable modem/router) the"other computers"(TV) will connect"through this computer."

  The next screen should look like this--> http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows_XP/Network_Setup_Wizard/03_%28directly_connected%29/LAN.shtml

  If you have correctly installed the USB adapter, you should see a line like the one that was highlighted in the image (it's your modem cable connection) and a second line describes your connection to the LAN USB.

  If the wizard does not recognize the USB adapter as a connection to the local network, it will not let you continue (click on the 'Next' button on this screenshot, where there is only one LAN connection, and you'll see what happens).

  Assuming that the wizard allows you to continue to do so.  Your "computer name" is already filled in. Do not change. You can add a description if you wish.  When you get to the screen 'file and printer sharing', you can disable this feature (you're not going to share files between your computer and the TV).

  Confirm on the summary screen that "Internet" is through your "Local network connection" and that the wizard correctly selected your USB adapter as the "connecting to your network" (this screen shot shows that the connection to the Local network is connected to 'your network' because the Dial-Up connection is connected to the Internet)--> http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows_XP/Network_Setup_Wizard/03_%28directly_connected%29/Dial-Up/04--2.shtml (click on the scroll bar to) see the screen shot in all)

  When you complete the wizard, you should be able to connect your TV to your USB adapter and it should work (Yes, there is a lot of "desirable"; good luck).
