Uninstalling an update of malware

An update for Windows Defender Malware was installed automatically, but then when I was checking the updates I have re-installed. It is listed under the update twice history. But when I go to installed updates and try to find it to uninstall the extra copy, I can't seem to find by date or file number or name of listing (KB890380).

Hello

-What version of the operating system is installed on your computer?

I suggest you to check the version of Windows Defender before and after the installation of the update.

If you find the version of Windows defender is the same before you install updates the steps of troubleshooting from the following link.

Troubleshooting Windows Update or Microsoft Update when you are repeatedly offered an update

If the version is changed after the installation of the update, then it's a new update that were installed for Windows Defender with the same KB number.

  • How to uninstall all updates previously installed from Windows Update in a single shot?

    Hello

    After recently using the freshly installed Windows 7 computer, we have to customize and set up the computer according to the administrative definitions according to the access controls. After inspired to emphasize on enabling automatic installation of Windows updates, all seemed well until the update process had actually initiated. but the latest saw a dull experience with infrequent and unrecognized system breakdowns.

    So, we decided to perform a full update of windows after realizing that they are guilty of the devastation.

    given that it is not possible to uninstall a bazillion updates manually and cumulatively, I have to rely on an automatic programmed script stressed to uninstall these updates in the order until the end (thereby restoring debut)

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Awesome... Thanks dude.

    Some of the information do not show upward in your post, but I was able to understand.

    1. The list of updates:

      WMIC qfe get hotfixid > c:\list.txt
      (This you will get a list of all the updates that are currently installed.)
    2. Open C:\list.txt in Notepad. (Remove the first line, it's just the title)
    3. Generate the uninstall script:
      for /f %i in ('type c:\list.txt') do echo wusa /uninstall /kb:%i /quiet /norestart >> c:\uninstall.cmd
    4. Go to Edition > replace and set the following field values: (replace CTRL + H, "/ kb:KB" " with" / KB: "")
    5. Run the script that results.
    6. Restart the node.

    NOTE: This is what should look like the syntax after you change with CTRL + H.

    TCP/IP defines how your computer communicates with other computers.

    To make it easier to manage TCP/IP settings, we recommend using automated DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (). DHCP automatically assigns Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to the computers on your network, if your network supports. If you use DHCP, then you don't have to change your TCP/IP settings if you move your computer to another location, and does not require DHCP allows you to manually configure the TCP/IP settings, such as domain name system (DNS) and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). To enable DHCP or change other TCP/IP settings, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

  • I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I rebooted, restored, ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, uninstall/install update etc...

    I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I have rebooted, restored (im doing this), ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, malware, virus, uninstall/install etc and my machine wil always do not run for a long time without going through some sort of problem after an hour or two.  Can anyone suggest what to do about this? I read a lot of information online on all the windows 8 and fixes bugs, etc, but anything Microsoft/Windows, which ensures its customers, a hotfix or compesating their customers with software that still works. This isn't a hardware problem, and I can't keep day and bad shooting and trying to fix the day things in?

    Sincerely,
    A client who is a loss for words.
    Here are some problems in no particular order.
    1.) apps to not install it, and/or Windows saying they are when they are in fact not. The fix to install / uninstall, or get on the site of windows directly in general does not, and or does not at all.
    The change permissions 2.) does not work on files that you should be able to access in changing oxnership, permissions, etc.
    3.) Google chrome won't let me access my account of microsoft (or fact rarely) trying to access assistance. But internet Explorer doesn't?
    Randomly will increase from Internet 4.) a previous connection wired to wireless to a reboot.
    5.) my 8 'key' windows was only shown to me after that I have let Windows scan my machine online? Why? I paid for this... I restarted it and it says: service not available (it worked the third attempt which was 1-3 minutes after the initial analysis). Windows only showed my product ID not the key. I know that my victory. 8 was OEM when preinstalled I bought it new, but why didn't we files on it that had nothing to do with activation, appearing on dates for three weeks, or so before I bought it. What is the 'activation of the factory'?
    6 :) Windows Essentials does not hang for a long time, and the troubleshooterprogram of update simply does not work (I had to go to the website to try tp operate, the bluetooth functionality is not good that there is an error.
    7.) windows scan and repair gets stuck at 27% (Im not the only one with this problem).
    8.), avery MS Office 2013 Disappears so often and not easy to reload "we have encountered a problem.
     

    The computer manufacturer is responsible to see that it works properly with Windows 8. It says that it is a new computer I contact HP and make these problems their. If you don't get satisfactory results I turn and look elsewhere for a computer. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.
