• No longer connect to the internet after you uninstall antivirus software

  Hello

  Please forgive me if there is a simple solution to this problem. I have already undertaken some research and various attempts to correct them accordingly in vain.

  System: Windows 7 64-bit

  Problem - no more have the internet connection after you uninstall antivirus software

  the story so far: yesterday I uninstalled VIPRE Internet Security 2014 as suggested on their guys to support online so I could upgrade to the latest version (2015).

  After uninstalling and restarting, small notification of connection there was an error in this regard. When you look at the map, it linked the wireless modem, but there was a red cross between it and the symbol of the world of the internet.

  I tried another public network and tried to use my phone as a hotspot and still the same result.

  System Restore does not work.

  I defragged and cleaned up.

  I downloaded a program called Vipre rescue to find the virus.

  I tried with windows on and outside firewall.

  I installed a full copy of 2015 AVG (free) and still no luck.

  I tried a flush.bat file (easily on another where I read that someone had the same problem).

  Any help would be most welcome!

  Thanks for getting back to me.

  I dropped last week and held a store of the local computer. I just returned it today. Guys said they had 'fun' with her. Which means it took a lot of time for them to trouble. Apparently there had been some severe or ciritcal crashes who think could have been partly to blame.

• 2 versions of firefox and the maintenance service are listed in "Uninstall or change a program" after update

  I have updated to firefox from 15.0 to 15.0.1 using the dialogbox "About Firefox". under "Uninstall or change a program" in windows 7 x 64 I have now the two versions of firefox 15.0 and 15.0.1 registered as being installed.

  also, I had previously disabled the option "Use a background service to install updates" and uninstalled "Mozilla Maintenance Service". now the option of background service use has been reactivated and the "Service Maintenance of Mozilla's ' has been reinstalled. I really like how mozilla has zero respect for the fact that I don't want some unnecessary services installed on my computer, just so that I don't have to click on a UAC prompt once per month.

  I'll probably just uninstall the both firefox and the maintenance server and reinstall firefox. both versions are supposed to be there or is this a bug? and why reinstalled substantive service and the option is enabled when specifically, I uninstalled and disabled before?

  Edit: I just checked my other computers. 1 windows 7 x 64 with the maintenance service installed and the other xp with the maintenance Server uninstalled or disabled. two computers only list 15.0.1 as being installed and the maintenance department was not reinstalled on my xp computer.

  Just to let you know, the maintenance service is not running on your computer at all up to and update must be installed. It does not all resources and is perfectly fine to stay on your computer.

  As for the problem with two versions of Firefox, uninstall the other oldest (make sure not to remove your personal data) and see if the new version works.

• Pavilion dv2 Notebook: how to uninstall items in "All programs" which are not displayed via programs and features

  I do not play games on my computer. I uninstalled 'My HP Games' (32 items) via the control panel. However, there are 11 items that appear in the games through "All programs", but are not displayed by the intermediary of "Control Panel / programs and features. There is also a link to eBay.com, in "All programs" that I would like to delete.

  How to uninstall these components?

  Hi @jarhtmd,

  Thank you for your response.

  The sample you provided it seems there are some games that you should be able to uninstall in Add Remove programs.

  For example, 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess'. When you look in the programs listed do you see "Microsoft Games\Chess, if so you should be able to uninstall."  It would be listed under Microsoft Games / and the name of the game.

  As some of the Microsoft games that came with the Windows installation you can not have an option to uninstall them.

  Those ending with "lnk" is just links. Try right click and delete.

  Good luck!

• (64-bit) Windows 7 programs missing in uninstall a list of programs.

  Hello

  My grandson likes to play internet games and download a number of them from time to time, and as usual, it let me uninstall a lot of Add-ons and other types of files unwanted. Toolbars vius protections, etc. You name it... and it is discharged by yours truly.

  I had stopped it for a long time, but allowed him to download a more "Wizards 101" a few days back, and our pc acted super slow, gel etc... since.

  So I just deleted several unwanted files in the Department "uninstall programs" and once it was finished, I had to change to another account momentarliy... but when I got home, I checked again to make sure that everything was ok, I found only 14 programs listed.

  The list is always another long (a full-page scroll down) and almost every major program, I have the list.

  I check every other account I have and it's the same on everyone.

  I was very careful to uninstall any other files juck, and I have therefore absolutely no indication as to what is happening here. All my programs seem to work ok, so far anyway, except for the missing information in uninstall list programs.

  I ran full analyses of the virus system (only for seven tracking cookies) and tried all the usual methods of maintinace I don't know.

  This got me stumpped. If anyone knows a thing or two about this kind of problem, I'd appreciate some advice.

  And would like also some tips for my grandson who reads this as well. Him and me have always disagreed on the dangers of downloading games on the internet and it was just someone else might believe next to his grandfather. (lol)

  Any notice will be really appreciated.

  Boramfan87, welcome to the forum.

  You are absolutely right about the dangers of downloading games and other programs on the Internet.  In fact, I gave up downloading FREE programs.  If I do so, however, I use the custom installation option.  This allows me to check to see if all unwanted programs are added to my computer without my knowledge.  It happens all the time.

  Now to get tips for you, Grandpa.  You can create an account for your grandson.  This will allow you to set Parental controls to keep certain types of programs to be added to your computer: control panel / user accounts / manage another account / set up Parental controls.  In addition, you can protect your account by adding a password.  Just make sure that you note somewhere if you can remember it.  It will be embarrassing when you have to say grandson that you forgot your password created to keep him out of your business.

  It seems to me you may have inadvertently selected programs and deleted.  I can't think of anyway to make programs disappear from the "uninstall or change a program", otherwise.  You will have to reinstall any missing programs.

  Please, click on "Thumbs Up +" if I helped you and click "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.

• I am currently running windows essentials security and avast antivirus and antispyware protection security - is enough? I need Mcafee or Norton or are they the same thing?

  What is the best protection virus out there - see my present programs

  You should not run two antivirus programs. Microsoft Security Essentials versus Avast Security and uninstall what you don't want. With a good antivirus and the built-in Windows Firewall on XP I wish I had the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware installed. Update/run it manually once a week or more. You don't need anything else except a smart user.

• always uninstalled in the console program

  Hi all

  I have a MacBook mid 07 running OS X worm. 10.7.5.

  Problem is I uninstalled a program of online syncing called Mozy and something is still trying to execute it according to the console log.  photo attached.   I reinstalled and removed two times and the same result.  using CleanApp for deletion.

  Any ideas how I can find and delete everything that tries to run the program that is no longer there?

  Thank you

  Oscar.

  

  It is not completely uninstalled just by deleting the app. He has other installed files, you must locate and remove.

  Software to uninstall the program: the basics

  Most OS X applications are completely independent "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the trash.  Applications can create preferences files that are stored in the folder/Home/Library/Preferences /.  Although they do nothing once you remove the associated application, they take up little space.  If you want you can find them in the location above and delete them, too.

  Some applications may install an uninstall program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases, the uninstall program may be part of the installation of the application program and is called by clicking on a custom button that will appear during the installation process.

  Some applications can install components in the Home/Library/Application Support / folder.  You can also check here to check if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that is located in the application Support folder.  Once again, they do nothing but take up disk space, once the application is trashed.

  Some applications may install a startupitem, or Item Log In.  StartupItems are usually installed in the folder/Library/StartupItems/and less often in the folder/Home/Library/StartupItems /.  Journal items are defined in the preferences accounts.  Open system preferences, click accounts, and then click the login items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to remove from the list.

  Some software uses demons start or agents which are a new feature of the operating system.  Look for them in/library/LaunchAgents/Library/LaunchDaemons/or in/Home/Library/LaunchAgents /.

  If an application installs all the other files that the best way to find them is to search for Finder using the name of the application or the name of developer as a search term.  Unfortunately, Spotlight look in certain default folders.  You can change the behavior of Spotlight or use a third-party, EasyFindsearch utility, instead.

  Some applications install a reception in the folder/library/receipts /.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The element typically has an extension ".pkg".  Do not forget that you also remove this element because some programs use to determine if it is already installed.

  There are a lot of utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:

  1. AppZapper

  2. AppDelete

  3. PLC

  4. Hazel

  5. AppCleaner

  6. CleanApp

  7. iTrash

  8. amnesia

  9. uninstall program

  10. spring cleaning

  How to safely use MacUpdate to download malicious software free software:

  This site has both free and paid members accounts. If you don't have then some software will be distributed in a wrapper for an installation that includes adware/malware, you can not. Such a download may appear on your computer as follows: Firefox installer.dmg. Remove the download and return to the main site where you will find a direct link to the Web site. Use this link to download the software.

  To avoid these downloads to MU simply create a free membership account. Sign in to your account before using the site. You can avoid the wrappers of the installer and download of adware or malware. I continue to use their site without any problems.

  If you prefer not to create a membership account and note that on the download page under the price area will be the link to the developer site. Use this link and download the software directly from the developer work around the use of MU altogether.

  Contacting warnings from users of sone that notifies you that the site is "dangerous." In fact, my list of tools adware is not related to MU. His attention is exaggerated and it is false. Know the facts. You simply use the site intelligently. Support the site, but do it wisely - establish a free subscription or paying to avoid problems with malware. Do not pay attention to other users who warn you away with the hyperbole and rhetorical insults.

• What Antivirus/Antimalware/Antispyware choose?

  Hi all

  Recently, a pop-up Mac guard or something like that appears when loading on a streaming site. It was not possible to close the window without clicking 'OK', which allows the software to do a scan on my Mac. Normally, I think that nothing had been installed on my Macbook but I can't be sure of himself... So, I wanted to know if I had to install an antivirus/antispyware/antimalware pack to carry out an analysis on both my Macbook and my safe use? And who?

  Have a good evening,

  Thank you

  François

  It's a scam. Nothing has been downloaded or installed on your Mac.
