  Have a pack of service higher than on the DVD is discussed in the links provided.
  If you have a DVD of Vista without SP then you will need to uninstall SP1 to use that
  disc and later re - install SP1. If you have installed SP1 SP2 disc, then you
  you will need to uninstall SP2 to use the disc and later re - install SP2.

  Check with the support of Sony. You might be better off backing up the data of the
  computer and then return the system back to factory specifications. Of course I

  Hello

  If McAfee is expired then you must uninstall it and run the McAfee removal tool to avoid problems of
  remains of the original. There are recommendations of the antivirus configurations for free below.

  McAfee - removal tool
  http://service.McAfee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?ID=TS100507

  ------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  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 leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  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 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.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.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.

• Microsoft Safety Scanner detects Vista Security 2012?

  Looking for advice please... My nan recently had Vista Security 2012 on his cell phone, which has been deleted... But its made me paranoid.

  I have Microsoft Security Essentials on mine, all of this to this day and I do 3/4 analyses fast and 1 full scan weekly. I downloaded Microsoft Safety Scanner yesterday but wonder if that would detect Vista Security 2012.

  Microsoft safety scanner uses the same definitions as Microsoft Security Essentials. You get a lot to run both. If you want a second opinion, use something like the free MalwareBytes anti-malware or SUPERAntiSpyware

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

  For the really paranoid, you can run a scan offline without booting Windows. It must defeat malware that hides itself using a rootkit.

• The new version of Firefox is to save my passwords even if it is not checked in the security option? In some cases, also to save my customer number? Nor is it necessary

  The new version of Firfox save my passwords and in some cases, my customer identification numbers, even if the passwords for this site "Remember" in the security option is not checked. I don't use a master password. There are no entries in the list "password saved" so I'm not able to remove supposedly saved passwords.

  To determine if one of your extensions could make logging in, could test you the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Any difference?

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to

  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
  the cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.
