  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. (No, Symantec Support never say this.) See if the following solves your problems:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8 test cycle.

  NB: Your Norton application can disable Windows Defender by default.

  Code 0 x 80244001.

  I can not also turns on the AVG identity protection as it times out when you try to configure.  I have performed analyses of the complete system with AVG, Malwarebytes and rootkits but with no infection research are, but I do not deny the possibility of having a hidden virus.

  It may be helpful to say that my laptop has had problems with blue screens lately, even these problems with the updates before began. I got mixed messages on the blue screen, errors of entry being the most common. I think there may be something wrong with one of my drivers, I sent my laptop in for repair earlier and it wouldn't surprise me if they did not work.  However, I did the repair of the tool without any result Windows driver.

  Finally, the system restore does not work on my system for some reason any and I do not have a backup disk.  Right now, I'm considering just buy windows 7 and all wiping.  My laptop is not really unusable, it's just embarrassing to have it down every day and not be able to update.

• Messages to update Windows Vista 64-bit driver for Qosmio F30 Vista 32 bit

  Hello

  Today, I noticed that, update Windows Vista displays the bad update for one of the drivers of Qosmio F30.

  I have Windows Vista 32-bit, but Windows Update post a 64 bit version of the driver.

  See the screenshot [here: http://imagefilehost.googlepages.com/f30Wrongupdate.jpg]

  Any idea?

  Hmm... it's strange?  :|

  The ACPI from Toshiba x 64 compatible driver certainly means a 64-bit version!

  I put t know why Vista driver update notification indicates a 64-bit to a 32 bit OS driver, but usually the 64-bit driver should not be compatible with the 32 bit OS.

  However, the deal seems clear don t install if the pilot is not designed for your operating system.
