The basics of microsoft windows never expires?
I got a call today saying about me my microsoft windows security has expired and that I had 82% of my infected software and to fix, it would cost $499.99. Is it a scam?

Yes, it's a scam and with various names and phone numbers, a
that becomes very common lately.
In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
where confidential information they stole.
So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
immediately:
1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
financial sites.

Original title: am running Vista x 32
Do I need a firewall if I have installed the basics of microsoft with windows vista x 32 Security. If I do how can I download the microsoft firewall?
Your quick response would be appreciatedEdwardiniWindows Firewall is delivered with and is part of the Vista operating system.
You already have it and, therefore, you do not need, or you, can download another Windows Firewall.Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) will close your Windows Defender because MSE has its own advocate and performance 2 defenders in the same machine allows to create conflict, not to mention redundant.

I'll wait to install pending a possible resolution here. If anyone has experienced this problem and has a resolution, I would be grateful to receive information and repair.
Hi Nathalie,.
Thanks for the reply and the link to the article. I appreciate it. While I was not having trouble to download updates, it was one of the update of the files froze during installation. I had gel resulting set before your answer.
I'm not sure what I did to fix it, but the installed annoying file itself. Here are the steps I took to learn that annoying file has been installed:
"I restarted my computer.
"then stop it showed that he was trying to install the file again
"I hit the reset button on my machine.
"My machine is restarted, I received the message that my machine was not correctly stop and choose Safe mode or start normally.
"I chose boot normally.
"Somewhere during the start-up, something installed or flashed a message
"My system automatically restarted by itself.
"On my screen, my computer displays a message saying it was set up my system.
'My computer restarted again
"Back to my login screen, I had a repeat of the previous message from my computer's configuration.
"After that over, I arrived at my office
"I've manually run Windows Update
"After Windows Update, I checked the files available, disabled the original file in question and click the button install.
"These files correctly installed and gave a message requesting to restart."
"I rebooted my system manually.
"Back in my office, I manually tried to install the file in question.
"It gave me a message that it was already installed.
How he installed himself is a mystery. Other than on the first attempt to update my machine, it has NEVER included in my another attempt to update. Anyway, my machine is purring along as if nothing had happened.
You can mark my question.
Thanks for your help,

How can you tell the difference between Microsoft Windows 8 Pro Full version and upgrade?
For previous versions of Windows, for example, Windows 7, it was very easy. Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade has 'Upgrade' printed on the outside the box in the upper right, as well as on the discs themselves, while the full version does not work.
See here for example of the box: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/193/e/0/Windows_7_Ultimate_upgrade_by_LucasVN.jpg
For examples of records, see here: http://headsetchatter.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/snapshot-1283367118.977272.jpg, - http://www.microsoftcheapsoftware.com/ekmps/shops/samehxm/images/microsoft-windows-7-ultimate-sp1-upgrade-[3] 148 - p.jpg
With Windows 8 Pro, I can't find any distinctive feature. I bought the full version and upgrade of Windows 8 Pro, but after their installation on several dozen calculates, I lost track of which boxes and discs are which. And there seems to be no way to understand who is who...
There is never any full retail versions of Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro box. Only Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro OEM System Builder licenses were full versions. It's the best way to confirm.
Since the release of Windows 8.1, in retail box copies are full versions.

The basic knowledge of Windows XP
If you upgrade to Windows XP from an earlier version of Windows, you can choose 'Upgrade' or 'install a new copy. USON is recommended to select "Install a new copy" since only the upgrade can disrupt your system unstable. Back up your important files on a DVD, CD, USB drive or a Zip drive before installing a new operating system.
Published on October 25, 2001, Microsoft Windows XP is an operating system widely used and supported. Although other versions of Windows XP are available, the two most commonly used versions are:
XP Home Edition, which is intended as a successor to Windows 95, 98, and Me family
Professional Edition, which is intended as a successor to Windows NT and 2000 family
Microsoft has announced that it will provide updates and security fixes for Windows XP until April 2014.Requirements
Minimum requirements for Windows XP are a 233 MHz processor, 64 MB RAM, 1.5 GB of available disk space and a compatible SVGA video card. USON found that computers not exceeding do not these requirements run Windows XP poorly or not at all. USON strongly recommends that any system running XP have a CPU faster than 400 MHz and at least 256 MB of RAM.Hello
Win XP is passed from that Win 7 is the future, so don t think this could be very interesting for others, but thanks for sharing ;)

Cannot search the network for Microsoft Windows (XP SP3)
Hello
On holiday, I have a PC running Windows 8.1 and a former under XP (SP3), both connected to a Netgear router for Internet access.
Under Windows, 8.1, the XP PC appear not at all, even when I search by name.
The WinXP when I click (down posted by exploring folders) on "Microsoft Windows network", I got an Error Message:
Impossible to scan the network, you have no network, or the network is not started.
I've followed all the recommendations for sharing files between Windows 8.1 and XP:
Same network type: private
Even working group: PERSONAL
Different names.
Option of sharing files on two PCs in network settings.
Windows 8.1, I chose: encryption 40 or 56-bit.
I can share folders between your desktop in Windows 7 with Win 8.1 and Windows XP Home.
File sharing has been possible, in my view, before I've upgraded to SP3 of XP last year.
I know that Windows XP is not supported, but I need this old PC to display movies on my old TV (S_Video)!
Thanks for your replies.

You may translate the error of another language?
On the XP computer.
- Click Start, run, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and click OK
- Scroll down to "Workstation" (probably the last item in the list) and double-click it
- Make sure the "Startup type" is "automatic".
- Click on the 'Start' button (if the service has already started, please report this), and then click OK

How to change 'Acer Log in background image' in the absence of Microsoft - Windows 7?
I have an Acer (old) computer and when I start it up, there is a newspaper on the page with a background of Acer. I would like to get rid of this and display the default Microsoft in the background paper. Is it possible to change this, and if so, how can I go about it? I looked for programs and features and find nothing on Acer. Even with the registry except for points of management for my monitor Acer. I guess that the 'context of Acer' is hidden somewhere, but I can't find it. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and have a new card mother Asus (M4A88T-M) and AMD Athlon II X 2 260 CPU if this info. is necessary.
Thanks in advance,
Richard Duke
You can do this with some very careful registry and editing the file, but honestly, I recommend this free tool instead. It makes it easier and more secure. StarDock is a Microsoft partner company that helped build the themes of the Aero interface and the technology used in Windows Vista and 7.
