re-installed xp due to a virus... now unable to download and run the exe
I re-installed using the partition recovery/repair due to obtaining avirus that I couldn't get rid of. Probably not the best thing to do... I now can not download and run exe games or something else...
Help, please
This may or may not be something you can fix on your own (in other words, it can get tricky and involved).
First of all, it is extremely important to know the name of the malware you have. For example, if you have the malware installed in "The Security Protection", this guide should help you:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-security-protection
You will notice that you need a lot more that only run MBAM.
In addition, you will probably need to run several times, restarting your PC between the two.
In order to repair the damage, this should help:

Unfortunately, using the recovery partition (However, you never haven't indicated that you did exactly), can be complicated even more your situation. The good news is that as long as you save all your important data, you can always wipe your drive and start clean.

I need to install mobile Chase app to deposit cheques but I'm unable to download and install it
Original title: chase mobile
I just changed from a tablet to a Surface pro - my dilemma is that I need to install mobile Chase app to deposit cheques however I am unable to download and install because even if the surface is a mobile device is not a "phone".
This is a dealbreaker for me because I used my Android device to drop several checks on a daily basis and if I can't do it with the surface I will need to return it.
Can someone tell me how to get the app installed on my new Tablet?
Thank you
Check kkkkk... and see if your application is taken in charge. Contact Chase... see if they have or will have an app Win 8 or RT.

I am operating windows XP, but it is more difficult to download anything, I can only assume its because my system recovery disk brought me originally pack 1 and missing essential items in my system which is used to enable automatic updates to work to get my system back to normal.
Preliminary work:
Download the installation files of SP3, IE8 and Microsoft Security Essentials, which is an effective antivirus/antimalware program. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)
(You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials (for MMS)
1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!
2. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:
Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates
Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.
3. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.
4. switch to IE8. Restart TWICE. (Note: it is important to let IE at the level before the upgrade to SP3 IE6.) After you are in SP3, then you can switch IE6 to IE8).
5 install MSE.
(What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).
6. make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):
Start | Control Panel | Security Center
(Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)
7. visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.
8. reactivate the automatic updates.

Updates of windows installed and now unable to get online with the Explorer.
I am running windows vista and installed updates and now cannot get online. I tried to run the system restore, but that did not help. This happened once before when the only web sites that I could access were secure web sites, I have changed the security settings and that fixes the problem. Nothing works for now.
I'll get more info from my computer at home tonight and add to that tomorrow.
Thank you!!
What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription? What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications? What third-party firewall (if applicable)?
A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?
=========================
Error message after you install an update of Windows Internet Explorer from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "cannot display the webpage".
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942818If not help to tweak the parameters of your third-party firewall, try the following:
1. disable your antivirus, all modules of Norton (as applicable), a real-time protection provided by an anti-spyware application (with the exception of Windows Defender; includes the Tea Timer of Spybot, AVG AS guard.exe, SpySweeper guards, etc.), disable the third-party firewall AND THEN select Windows Firewall.
NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) except #4 below until your antivirus application has been reactivated! If you use a free ZA firewall, you may need to uninstall instead of disable.
2 uninstall 'update Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 7 (or 8) for Vista (KB976325)' or "Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB976325)" via start | Control Panel | The Maintenance and the system (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update | Installed updates day & reboot.
3 d - c #1 above.
4 manually run Windows Update and install important updates available (i.e. KB976325).
5 reboot & make sure everything in #1 above is on again and, if necessary, disable the Windows Firewall and enable (or reinstalling) your third-party firewall.
=====================================
For individuals, please visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

I have a TOMTOM portablw GPS model 530/540 XXL A and unable to use it because I can't download TOMTOMHome.com suchj that it is compatible with the computer and is detected by the device. The error is in the computer system itself; I get a message from NSSIS on the computer (Windows XP and Windows 7/Vista or that of TOMTOMhich, said "a message of archive not valid '.)

I haved tried to download and install the software on 4 different computers and have even replaced USB cables. HELP ASAP PLWASE!
