• I have 2 problems-how can I activate my Add ons and how to uninstall Windows Anti Virus. I need help, please.

  I have Windows XP 32-bit with IE8 Add ons.  I mainly use Firefox Mozilla for my browser and Yahoo as my home page.  Anyway, I have tried all the support and help guide and technicians told me to do to get add ons to open and activate but in vain.  This computer was given to me as a profession, and it was used in a Bank, so I think that the system administrator has disabled the add ons.  I myself as an administrator and use the tips and tricks given windows and Microsoft, but I always run up a wall.  I need help, please.
  I also need to know how to uninstall Windows antivirus software.  I can't find anywhere on my computer.  I feel really stupid and he is probably right in front of my face, but I can't find it to uninstall.  I have McAfee that I paid dearly for if I want to use it until it expires.

  This "Microsoft antivirus' witness (AKA Trojan W32/FakeAlert) hijackware infection!

  If you manage to somehow move to Win7, you will always have an infected computer.

  The ONLY way to solve the problem is by formatting the current hard drive and do a clean installation of Windows, whether it is WinXP or Win7.

  The ONLY way you can do a clean install of Windows XP if you have disks that came with the computer or if by chance, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the system restore).

  If your kids er - well & their spouses are going to spend money on a new HARD drive, they'be be better spend on a low-end Windows 7 computer and brand-new (for example, a netbook or a mini).

  NB: Any data on your Windows XP computer must be considered 100% reliable! (This includes all of your usernames and passwords, for example, those used for online banking, etc.) You do NOT want to put ALL the data from Windows XP to a new computer or HARD disk.

  Good luck, Grandma. Hope that your grandchildren will treat you better than their parents.

  PS: Time wounds all heels.

• iMac, blocked by malware.  Help please!

  This morning I was using all my usual internet links (Facebook, hotmail and a hotel site), and suddenly a window popped up almost directly after my iMac froze & the window OS Support popped up immediately followed by another indefinable window saying my iMac was blocked and had been infected with malware and a virus.  I stop everything, including my internet connection.  I then rang the published phone number.

  Earlier, I restarted my Mac & internet - same thing happens again so I rang the number again and it turns out not to be Apple, quite probably the company that owns the malware trying to get US $150 to remove malicious software and viruses.  They said they were resting in the States.

  I'm not very good with the workings of the Apple - I actually have no idea what to do.  My AppleCare had expired and he is demanding $ 39 just to talk with the Apple Support!  I paid $99 for this AppleCare & have never used once before.

  Help, please!

  Hello CK64,

  It is probably just adware. It is becoming quite common.

  I wrote a small diagnostic program to help show what adware is installed. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etrecheck.com, run it and paste the results here. EtreCheck is perfectly safe to run, don't request your password to install and is signed with my developer Apple ID.

  If adware is installed, EtreCheck will help remove you, although you may need to provide a password. If you are not comfortable with that, just after the report of EtreCheck here and other AIDS can tell you exactly which files should be deleted and the way to do it.

  WARNING: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

• Installation of help please

  Can anyone help please? I am a user of Windows Live Mail for a long time, but I am disappointed with their product, because it crashes regularly and recently wiped a lot of messages, so, after having heard great reports, I think that the time has come to try Thunderbird. I do, however, have a few questions that I would be grateful if someone could advise me on please...

  I know how to move e-mail messages in Thunderbird, but is it also possible to move my accounts and their settings from Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird without having to configure each new individually please? The Import Wizard appears to count it is possible, but has nothing more after "import options, account settings, address book, filters and other data of:" even after a click on the next button. I installed the import/export addon, but always without success. Is it indeed possible please?

  Also, is it possible to install the views 'fast' section that WLM has on Thunderbird, which was allowed to see all read mail from each account in one place please? This a really useful feature and I want to keep if possible.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Import of account to Windows live mail never made Thunderbird... partially because there is little demand, and partly because Microsoft not to change.

  However if your accounts are with the largest suppliers outlook.com, hotmail, yahoo etc. or the large national ISPS and then set up your account is probably as simple as enter the e-mail address and the password. (There are often problems with poorly reported passwords. It is anti virus firewall clutter it and an adjustment for the firewall to allow the Thunderbird gets things on track)

  Your 'quick' view seems unified records of the Thunderbirds.

• All my modules do not work! Help, please!

  Today I turned on my computer and after FireFox starts, I realized that all my modules don't work at all! When I tried to check all have been properly installed and implemented market, but anyway, I didn't see their options in the Tools menu or the contextual menu (which appears when you try to save an image, CCI). My main modules (that I use constantly) are DownThemAll, ImageHostGrabber and NetVideoHunter. None works! And when I tried to "restore my last session", he has not worked as well! (It was in FireFox 11). A coupla hours ago I installed the latest version of FireFox 17th, hoping it would help me solve the problem. Nope! There is none! And by the way, now my "Add-ons" page in the Tools menu just does not open! I already scanned my computer for the bugs and viruses (with 2 specified programs) and found nothing! So I just the hell can understand what the problem is and where it could come from! Help, please! I don't want to install GoogleChrome or any other browsers and wasting my time to import links, fix bugs and various modules, etc.!
  I just need to my FireFox good old (now the most recent, in fact) works correctly and that's it!
  I thank you very much in advance!

  Thank you to everyone! But I found a solution easier - I saved just my FireFox to the base and then added settings on all necessary extensions. Everything works fine now! In any case, I understand your willingness to help: it's really comforting to feel that I'm not the only one!

• With Windows 7 online game lag s for 1 min every 15-20 minutes. Help, please!

  Just downloaded Battle of the Immortals free MMORPG and every 15-20 minutes I have a lag of 1 min where the game slows to an almost unplayable State. First I thought that maybe my internet has strangled so I called my ISP. They ran a few test and said that everything was running at 100%... So next time, I contact the support team technique video games... They had run me a dxdiag and a program to hack... I also ran a tracer on my connection just to show them this is not not my internet... Then, they responded and said "it could be Windows, Windows Firewall, Admin, UAC, network or anti-virus settings you need to change so that they are not blocking or limiting the game." I tried everything until I even contacted them... I watched my CPU usage and prosesses and nothing no longer uses the CPU than normal usage... I have no virus and I just bought this processor so there may not be a hardware malfunction about 2 months... More 5 other online games I play run very well... I also tried setting the game as high priority in windows Task Manager... That which seemed to work for about 6 hours but now my windows task manager keeps reseting back to normal priority. I downloaded a program called Prio which is suppose to set a permanent priority... Well, this program has not completely... I also tried to run the program with the resolution of the problems of compatibility and as an administrator... Without success... I have also all the drivers for all... I have triple checked the drivers... Help, please!

  MY CPU Specs:

  AMD Athlon (TM) II X 4 820 2.80

  RAM: 8,00

  64-bit operating system

  Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 9100

  1 Terrabyte HARD drive

  Well I think I got myself the solution...  I discovered that the game made my jump 20 c cpu temp... So when my CPU hits 50 - 54 c temp the game hits a pic gal... Currently, I have on my open cpu and a fan blowing on the one side and I had 3 hours of spike no lag... It was difficult to find a limit temp CPU specific before you start to make mistakes, but what I found said it was about 50 to 60 c Temp...

  I play runescape and lately to get java error on my desktop icons very much, they are labeled hs_err_pid followed 3 different numbers, help please

  Hi madsman,

  Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum

  For better support please give us the exact error code.

  This could well be a virus problem. If your step would be to run a full scan of PC online using the following link:
  http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/Center/whatsnew.htm
  Then, go to your Control Panel and open "Programs and features" and tell us what version of the Java Application you have.

  If you have a Version that is older, then you must remove the older version of "Programs and features" and install the latest version by visiting here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

  It is normally acceptable to load new versions of Java on top of older versions, but in this case we want to start over with a latest full version.

  Scroll down a bit to the "Download Windows Section" and download/install "Windows 7".

  After download/install this newer version. Close all windows and applications that may be running and "restart" your computer.

  Then click the link once more to return to the download page and select the link that reads "Check Java has been installed properly" If the application downloaded/installed correctly then this test will let know you that Java is working properly.

  Your last step would be to run a malware scan using this link:
