Please try again later. "Sometimes, I get another message saying that I need to connect to the internet to use the store but I am connected. I can get the games, but I can't connect directly to the store.  I tried everything I see online but nothing works and I want to install applications.

• Why the Windows store does not work?

  I can't get the Windows store on my ASUS laptop to load as well as any other application metro. For the store & some apps, the icon moves to the upper left corner & is there.

  What is the logo of the store would be upward to the upper left corner and sit there, doing nothing. I can't say much other than that, I had to refresh my computer which fixed the problem but I don't want to do that whenever the store is not working.

  my browser cannot open google and facebook and other https sites that it does not open even the app store does not work, I tried to change my DNS google DNS and disable IPv6 but still no use, help PLZ!

  You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

  Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

  Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

  Step 1

  VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

  Step 2

  When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

  Step 3

  In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

  com Apple.something.plist

  When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

  Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

  com Apple.builins.plist

  com Apple.cereng.plist

  com Apple.nysgar.plist

  There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

  com.something.plist

  Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

  These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

  com.semifasciaUpd.plist

  com.ubuiling.plist

  Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

  com.something .net - preferences.plist

  This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

  com.jangly .net - preferences.plist

  Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

  Restart the computer and empty the trash.

  Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

  com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

  com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

  com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

  com Apple.aelwriter.plist

  com Apple.SERVERD.plist

  com Tether.plist

  The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

  Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

  If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

  If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

  Step 4

  Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

  ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

  and click on

  Set on the current Page

  If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

  The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

  Step 5

  The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

  Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

  Step 6

  This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

• Windows Update does not work after the hard drive has been replaced

  Hello
  I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.
  Problem still exist.
  The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,
  because the service is not running. "You may need to restart you computer.
  Stop and then restart the service, still no luck.

  I ran Windows troubleshooting. He finds two problems with Windows Update components, it corrects.
  The problem still exists.

  Another interesting fact:
  After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
  for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
  I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.

  The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.

  INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.

  UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.

  Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools

  Select Services

  Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

  Stop Windows Update

  In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution

  Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old

  Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old

  Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.

  Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.

• App Store does not work

  Dear Apple, personal,

  My App Store does not work. I'm not sure but I think since I upgraded my iOS version 9.3 the App Store has stopped working. I mean I tried to download several apps and their icons still display the word "pending"... It doesn't matter if I'm with a Wi - fi or cellular... It just doesn't... I have an iPhone 6 (bought on March 2016 in Houston - TX). Please, help me to solve this problem. Thank you very much. Paola Pereira.

  Have you ever tried to force restart the phone after the update into the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again?

  You won't lose data, but force the reboot can cure some problems after installing new software or applications.

  Also try logging out of your account in the settings/iTunes and AppStore, reboot the phone and you log in again.

  In the event that you have implemented in settings/general/Restrictions of restrictions, turn them off and try again to update or download your applications.
