Replacing OneCare

I use Windows Live OneCare by Qwest and need to change programs since it is to be abandoned.  I know there is really nothing there that replaces OneCare and I studied the paintings of other options.  All I really need to know is how to protect my computer and I wonder if these programs provide protection and can be used together:

Avast

Prevx

ZoneAlarm

Malwarebytes

All this can I?  I also need to use MSE?  I am running Windows XP.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

There are much better choices. See below.

There are three categories of security software:

Firewall
Antivirus protection
Anti-spyware

Take them one at a time:

1 firewall. I recommend that you use the built-in Windows Firewall
instead of ZoneAlarm or any other third-party firewall.

2. virus protection. For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if
you are ready to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I have
recommend a (only one; don't work not more than one anti-virus program)
three of the following:
 
Avira
Avast
Microsoft Security Essentials
 
3 anti-spyware. I recommend you to download and install (at the same time
Freeware) MalwareBytes AntiMalware and SuperAntiSpyware.

    All my Windows products is no longer up-to-date.  I deleted Microsoft OneCare (a wonderful program that will sorely missed me) and installed Microsoft Security.  Next thing I know nothing updates.  In addition, Windows application now that I'm is no longer connected to the Internet even though I am.

    Any suggestions?

    I did run the OneCare cleanup tool before MSE unless it was launched during the uninstall process.

    Most of the other users who replaced OneCare with MSE discovered (the hard way) that they needed run the cleanup tool before installing MSE. There are many discussions on this subject in the MSE start-up and upgrade forum.

    Hello laughingpaws,

    To help resolve this issue, use the System File Checker (SFC.exe) tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

I then scanned by using the onecare Center and she always found 7 infected files 5 threats that all listed as Trojans java program errors before the end.

    Hello

    Not a single program can detect or remove all malware. Added that often easy to detect the malware comes
    by a harder to detect and remove the payload. Better to overkill the process now that in order to pay the high price
    an hour later.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however you must also run them
    the Windows when you can.

  • System preferences icon has replaced the dock

    Hi all

    I have a strange behavior with the dock in macOS Sierra, especially with the "System Preferences" icon After you open the system preferences application, the icon was his suddenly replaced by another icon (see image below). It looks like a Doc App icon?

    I tried to remove the 'System Preferences' app to the dock and put new in. It's OK for a while, but something after a few hours or days, the icon has been replaced by the "Doc App" icon again? !!

    Is there anyone who has this strange behavior?

    Thank you

  • What code to replace Quicktime?

    I have an iWeb constructed Web site. http://www.YourSkiCoach.com

    But the videos are inserted for the most part using Quicktime which is interrupted, it seems.

    They appear like this http://www.yourskicoach.com/glossary/SkiGlossary/Pivoting.html

    What code I would want to do a search and replace in Dreamweaver to replace the Quicktime plugin with a youtube embed code?

    Thank you

    Janis

    The method of QuickTime no longer works in some browsers, especially on Apple computers, like the Quicktime player is not supported by default. The HTML5 player should be used instead. Unfortunately some older browsers do not recognize. The player is simpler and not configurable. The code for audio is:

    < audio controls = "orders" source src = "audio.mp3" type = "audio/mpeg" > "

    Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio element.

    < / audio >

    The video player code is

    < video width = "320" height = "240" controls >

    < src = "source movie.mp4' type =" video/mp4">"

    < src = "source movie.ogg' type =" video/ogg">"

    Your browser does not support the video tag.

    < / video >

    (Of course, you don't have to provide two versions, this is just a demonstration script). The URL to the media file assumes that it is in the same folder as the page, otherwise a more complete URL is obviously necessary. The line "your browser does not support...". ' is for display in the case of older browsers that don't support HTML5 - it will not appear in browsers that do.

    Unfortunately, different browsers display output in different ways. With the drive audio Safari does not provide a progress bar; and unlike the player QT player width cannot be configured - for example if you try to fit exactly under a picture. However it should work in most cases - same Safari in Snow Leopard will manage, although I can't answer for what earlier either. I have not tested the video player, but it should work OK in all modern browsers.

  • iOS 10 replaced 'click' with "thud" sound lock

    I noticed that when I use the on/standby button, the former 'click' has been replaced with a 'thud '. Is anyway back the 'click '? I looked in the sounds settings control panel but didn't see a way to change this; just it turn on or off.

    No, there is no setup for keyboard clicks and sounds of hardware switch.

  • 2013: MacBook Pro replacement motherboard or not

    Brain Trust,

    I need some advice here.

    I have a 2013 fully bridged on (500 GB SSD, 16 GB of RAM) MacBook Pro and the sound from the speakers awefully distorted.

    I did all the regular troubleshooting inclusing a clean installation of the operating system, applications 3rd party and the problem persists.

    The distortion is NOT dependent on volume, it is still there, as if the sound is cut at all levels.

    Now, the headset on the port is perfectly clean, so I think I have it narrowed down to the (material) built-in drivers for speakers. I went to the Genius bar and they agreed and recommend a motherboard replacement. Since I have a month left my Applecare, I could do it, but I hesitate. Professionally, I rely heavily on my machine on a daily basis, and I fear that a machine otherwise perfect with zero problems (other than the problem of speaker) will be messed up.

    What is your experience with a motherboard swap and what do you recommend I do? Live with the distortion and contemplate a great Macbook, or opt for repair until the warranty runs out. NB, I have a very old Macbook that I can use for the week or I'll have to miss my machine.

    I'll answer my own question:

    Do it! I had a fantastic experience! Not only was my main problem, distortion in speakers, correctly diagnosed and resolved, since engineering also saw a small white spot on my screen (who had been there forever), I also had a nine screen. Not only that, I got a new valve and bottom plate, so after 3 years of intensive use, my Macbook Pro looks like new again. Total costs under Apple care program: $0.

    It's really the only problem with Aplle MacBooks: my excuse to buy a new went through the window, this machine will last me a few years ago!

  • Why my photos are disappearing and being replaced by some other independent photo?

    I was rearrange pictures in Photos now that I migrated from iPhoto.    I noticed recently that on the tile that an image that came also completely replaced him.  I have fixed the library with Command-option when I opened the Photos.  Has no effect.  So I restored from my time Machine.  No help.  Getting more far in time where I made sure that everything was OK.  Nothing.

    When I click on the thumbnail, the original image is here, but does not correctly display as a thumbnail.  For a photo I exported to the desktop and then reimported it to Photos - but it will be a consumer in real time.

    Why and what do I do?

    Now I come to discover that, if I "go back to the Original", it fixes the thumbnail.  I had edited a long time ago by changing the orientation; That's all.  Still wonder why it does this.
