Should I run / have several AV programs and GOT on my computer?
I have two computers (Vista OS) desktop and a laptop (OS-Windows 7). Do I need to have any other AV/AS programmed on/running on my computers?
Hello
You should have only one protection on each major system however antivirus/security program
on all of them at once. Two must not be installed on the computer running much less because
the remains of those even uninstalled can cause problems. Remove always unused antivirus/security
programs using their Creator removal tools.
List of tools to remove the antivirus/security programs.

================================
Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and works very well.)
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.
Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.
Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)
Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download
Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4
Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/ <-->-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->
PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp
Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
I hope this helps.

I can't open some programs and also when the computer start he says that gfxui has stopped working. What I have to do work?
Hi, Rosemary,
Do you know when this problem started? Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started. If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two. NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.
Without knowing your OS or the exact error message and everything Word to Word or the manufacturer, brand and model of your computer (especially the chipset), it is very difficult to provide you with clear instructions or recommendations; However, here is a link to another thread where someone had the same problem and there are two solutions (both different and both worth a try - if the first doesn't work, try the second): http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/gfxui-has-stopped-working/e7f88c22-7c58-4fc2-9ae9-667556d0c4fc.
If this does not help, check out some of the alternative links on this problem in the following search: http://www.bing.com/search?q=gfxui%20has%20stopped%20working&PQ=gfxUI&SP=2&QS=AS&SK=AS1&sc=8-5&form=BB07SS&pc=BB07. If you want, you can refine the search to include more information, such as your operating system or suite of the message and the results could be more useful.
I hope this helps. If this isn't the case, post back with the above-mentioned information that would help as well as what you have tried and what happened when you did.
Good luck!

Transfer programs and files from one computer to another
My old computer is an HP ME edition. I transferred programs and files to a HP with Vista Home Premium. Will the old programs and files, my computer run more slowly, and can I remove the old ME programs and files without interfearing with Vista OS? Thank you
First of all, you can not transfer programs from one computer to another - well, you can try, but it almost certainly won't work because the programs must be installled to make sure that ALL the files and registry entries are added correctly and created. Delete, nothing like you have transferred because it will be of no use and just take place.
As far that range from data, you can transfer data and should not affect the performance of your system (unless you have a LOT of files - and I mean a LOT). Move them to the appropriate folders in your user profile to make them easier to find (and backup).
Certainly, you can delete the old program files and data that you have transferred without causing any problem for Vista. Just be careful that you ONLY delete these files and do not delete Vista files accidentally while you do.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

I ran scans for malware with malwarebytes and microsoft windows defender and all have developed negative. Also did a clean reinstall of the windows operating system. With the help of a new mouse that works fine on another computer. Am not touch anything on the keyboard when it arrives. It is really strange, when the web page I'm on (the fact on any web page) jumps down. When it happened, I reduced to a minimum the web page and notice that, down to left, research programs, and cursor files under windows 7 is quickly back and forth its own. When this behavior ceases web pages stay normal.

Have you tried safe mode?
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

Something is broken with Adobe CC 2015. I don't know if I am the onlyone feel erode by sold the wrong package here, but in my opinion, it is supposed to be a system that respects the customer for an organization of this great relationship. I was sold less than I've been paid for when I bought the package of Adobe CC in January 2015. Throughout the year after initial installation of three months, the product would not work as she was supposed to. I questioned the performance of the application and was prompted to uninstall and reinstal of the product, I did, but who never solved my problems has continued to pay for my subscription until the end of the year with this situation without response. This year, I changed my address and got the same Adobe CC photography package. Instead of my CC program I have given wass Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 instead! I am now considering migration to optional avenues of trade. It's a shame because I had invested in additional lessons to be more profficient in the use of the application of oth on Linda .com.. .is - that someone out there has the same problems?
What operating system do you use? If you still run 32-bit XP or Vista then you will not be able to run existing software.
