Replacement of the other with Microsoft Essentials security programs

I need to be convinced that the removal of my Norton internet security and its replacement by Microsoft Essentials are a good idea. How do they compare? Make ME all that makes Norton? Help, please.

Why do you "need to be convinced? I don't consider my work to convince them that nothing, but I don't mind give you my opinion. Most of the technicians that I know and I did not recommend Norton for many years. The last good version was 2003 Norton Antvirus and it was 7 years ago. IMO the only security solution worse than Norton's McAfee. Bloated, invasive and ineffective. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast, Avira or MS Security Essentials if you want something for free instead. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How to determine if an installed program is Legit or necessary and I have a problem with Microsoft Essentials as well.

    I went through the system to my PC and while watching the programs installed in the Control Panel, I noticed several strange programs I don't remember installing.  I have just suffered the wrath of a restoration complete in October, Yes, it was terrible.  Anyway, how can I know if the installed programs are useful or harmful to my PC?  They are legitimate programs? If legit, are necessary or simply make my PC run slow?  Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't really experience the collapse of PC that I just went through.

    In addition to the above PC problem... recently when I boot my PC, Microsoft Security Essentials - REAL PROTECTION IS ALWAYS TURNED OFF TIME?  I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it twice... maybe, I missed a step.  In any case, there has never been that big red "X" showing the real-time protection is disabled and my PC is at risk?  Comments or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much!

    Thank you and happy new year!

    Hi Andi Bow,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Based on the information, there are several odd programs that installed on your computer without your information and Microsoft Security Essentials is always off.

    What programs you are skeptical about?

    You can find these online programs to see their credibility. You may also let us know if there is any doubt.
    You can also try to run an online scan to check if the virus is completely removed from the system.

    Check out the link to launch the scan:

    Microsoft safety scanner

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    For more information, see the article:

    How can I help protect my computer against viruses?

    About the issue with Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), you must post your query in the Virus and malware Forums for assistance.

    Hope the helps of information.

    Have a happy and prosperous new year!

  • My date and time settings are set in Egypt and whenever updates of the laptop with microsoft server time, it increases of 1 h.

    My date and time settings are set in Egypt and whenever updates of the laptop with microsoft server time, it increases of 1 h.
    Recently in Egypt, changes of daylight has been cancelled and I guess that's the cause of the problem!
    Any ideas?

    If time was recently cancelled, you can go to your control panel:
    Panel-> data and time-zone (tab) >
    and uncheck the "automatically adjust clock for daylight saving time.

    Otherwise, you probably need to adjust your zone settings on your computer using Microsoft time zone Editor.

    Hi I would like th different creative cloud buy 2, only photoshop/lightroom one and the other with all pack.is it is possible because I saw that we can only install on 2 different computers at the same time

    Creative desktop cloud applications can be downloaded and installed on multiple computers, regardless of the operating system. However, the activation is limited to two machines per individual related to the composition, and you may not use the software on these devices simultaneously.

    You can also see:

    You can either sign of Creative cloud on a computer to connect to another, or as you said, buy a membership second using an AdobeID different so that you can leave, signed at on 4 computers.

  • Replacement of the vectors with the best collection

    Hello

    My Netbeans IDE gives me a hint that the vectors (which I use to build custom table of AbstractTableModel models) are outdated.

    What should I replace vectors with, or which collection should I use to build custom table models, any example will be appreciated.

    Thank you

    jverd wrote:
    Use ArrayList instead of vector.

    However, interaction with the legacy GUI APIs is a common place where you have to use Vector. I don't know if AbstractTableModel falls into this category, but you can easily find enough.

    Unlike DefaultTableModel, AbstractTableModel made no assumptions on how the data should be stored. That is why it is useful. It can be used to adapt the other data structures to TableModel without needing to copy data.

  • Can't subtract a Rectangles with corners rounded on the other with Pathfinder

    This issue is driving me crazy! I try to subtract a shape with corners rounded on the other and cannot operate correctly. A few notes:

    • I put the corners rounded with corner radius handle, not the effect
    • I don't have the ability to break down the appearance or form, and the expansion does not seem to do anything
    • The following are screenshots of the process:

    Chris

    Well, your rectangles are perfectly aligned. Who will never give any valid intersection for simple mathematical reasons - a normal vector with a length of 1 subtract a vector of the same length is finally equal to zero. One of the rectangles must be smaller or bigger, if not a little.

  • Copy columns from one Table to the other with PL/SQL in Apex

    So my goal long-term is to throw this PL/SQL statement in a trial DMBS_SCHEDULER Apex 4.1 to create historical snapshots of the data a week but I'm hooked on this code:

    declare
    V_DEKIT_ID varchar (255);
    V_NT varchar (255);
    Number to resume;
    Date of V_DDATE;

    Start
    for DEKIT_ID in (select * from DKT_HIST)

    loop

    Select DEKIT. DEKIT_ID in V_DEKIT_ID of DEKIT;
    Select DEKIT. NT in DEKIT V_NT;
    Select DEKIT. QUANTITY back of DEKIT;
    Select CURRENT_DATE in double V_DDATE;

    insert into DKT_HIST (DEKIT_ID, NT, QUANTITY, DDATE)
    values (V_DEKIT_ID, V_NT, V_QUANTITY, V_DDATE);
    end loop;

    end;

    I enter this code in the SQL prompt in the SQL workshop and it is said that she is treated, but when I look at the destination table (DKT_HIST), there is no data. Any help would be appreciated.  In this code I want to copy the three columns of the DEKIT table as well as the current date and copy them to DKT_HIST for each row in the table DEKIT.

    Thank you

    -Steve

    The reason why your code did nothing is probably because your loop, using the history table. And since there no data in the historical table first, there is nothing to loop.

    BUT!

    Good code is the task with the least possible effort. Which in your case should result in a code similar to this:

    begin
       insert into DKT_HIST (DEKIT_ID,NT,QUANTITY,DDATE)
       select DEKIT_ID,NT,QUANTITY, trunc(sysdate)
       from DEKIT;
    end;

  • How to open the labview with function of Labview program to stop smoking inside?

    Hi any idea how to open the labview with the Labview function program to stop smoking inside?

    I forgot to add and define the condition of the type for this program.

    If the program is an application, she closed immediately.

    If it is still the work of labview, it will go directly to editing without closing the program.

    I so need to retrieve, open it and make some changes.

    Place the VI in a project and open it from there, then it should not autorun. App.kind application property allows you to decide whether to close or not.

  • Unable to sync the iPhone with Microsoft Account

    I am unable to sync my i phone on my microsoft account.  I use the same password with that I log into my email account.  I keep coming an error says thay I'm in the wrong user name or password.  Have I not a different password that I don't know?

    [Original title: iphon]

    Make sure that you use your full Microsoft Account e-mail address as your username and the same password allows you to connect to the Microsoft Web site account.

    If you have two-factor security settings on your account - the system this SMS you a special code when your connection somewhere new - you'll need to go to this website link above and create a unique password to synchronize your iphone (you need only do this once).
