  • Is it possible to reset the date of the last virus and update the spyware definitions in XP?

    I have xpsp3.  I was looking at my calendar to find out what day of the week, an event that happens in November, and unfortunately I forgot to go back to the date of the day before I have updated the definitions of viruses and spyware on MSE.  Now, MSE think my latest definitions of viruses and spyware are obsolete, because they were supposed to be updated three months from now.  So my question is: is it possible to reset the date of the last virus and update the spyware definitions in XP?

    Correct the date on your computer. Remove the antivirus/malware product and reinstall.

    -OR-

    To restore before the update, use the system restore. Make sure the date is correct. Update.

  • I can't update the Windows Defender definitions and get this message: the program can't check for definition updates. Error: Code 0xc8000408.

    Impossible to find info on what this means or what to do so I can again update in Windows Defender. This error message has begun to appear recently, or at least I think. I thought it was set to automatic update, but when I tried to do it manually because it says it's expired. Tried several times but get the same message every time.

    You are welcome. Your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or networks without a fully functional antivirus, completely update installed application. But first, let's take care of any Norton "leftovers"...

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

    Now, you will need to download/install an antivirus application. While I do not recommend professionally AVG, you might find that AVG Free 9.0 more compatible if you choose a CUSTOM this time installation above and don't install NOT of Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
       http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Otherwise, I can recommend Microsoft Security Essentials*, Avira AntiVirand Avast (all free) and NOD32 and Kaspersky (not the suites 'internet security'). After you have installed your AV application selected, manually & repeatedly updated until you get one invites 'no more updates'.

    [Avoid Norton & McAfee IMHO applications.]

    =============================
    * Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) includes components of antivirus and antispyware protection. The latter will replace (and must turn off automatically) Windows Defender in Vista.

  • Update the window hangs on reboot (stuck at 15%).

    So, I recently participated a construction of a new Windows 7 machine. The installation went well, everything works fine. That is until it came time to install the latest updates. When I try to install the updates, he does his thing and prompts to restart the computer. When I restart, it begins to apply updates and gets stuck at 15%. I let it sit for hours and just 15%. The only way I can get out is to kill the power and restart the computer. When it restarts, the same problem exists.

    Here's the update in question:

    Please let me know if you can help. Thank you.

    Hello
     

    1 did you encounter any error messages during the installation of the updates?

    You tried to install several updates in a single attempt that might have caused the conflict.
    Our first goal is to start the computer successfully. We can try a few methods.
    First check to see if there are external devices attached to the computer, if so remove and check.
     
    Method 1.
    Let us run repair system at this stage, it might solve the problem.
    See the following articles for additional help and steps on startup repair.

    What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7
     
    Method 2.
    I recommend you to restore system using a Windows 7 DVD.
    Here's how:
    To open the Options menu system recovery using a system repair disc or a Windows 7 installation disc
    If your system is damaged and cannot access the menu system on your computer Recovery Options, you can access it using the Windows 7 installation disc or a system repair disc previously.
    To use this method, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the disk.
    a. Insert the disc.
    b. restart your computer using the power button on the computer.
    c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    o If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer.
    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    e. If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on repair your computer.
    f. Select the Windows installation you want to repair, and then click Next.
    g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it and then choose the system restore and check.
     
    If we are able to boot to the desktop now I asked to install the updates one by one and check which application is at the origin of the conflict.
    Method 3.
    If the bows persists please verify if you are able to boot safe mode.
     
    If the problem exists not in Mode safe run mode startup minimum troubleshooting to find the root cause of the problem.

  • Updates the window appear when shutting down, but do not set up the next time you start

    The display shows 15 updates of Windows are loaded (installed?) when the machine is stopped.  To restart Windows, the screen indicates "wait" while the updates are being configured.  The icon indicates that the configuration is current, but the screen always said that "0% are completed.  Then, after a few minutes, the screen indicates something as "installation failed; Revenant.  After the message 'return', the machine moves to the usual Windows 7 start page and asking to connect you as usual (which allows me to work on the machine).   So, the next time I shut down Windows, the screen indicates that the installation of several updates continues and is completed in series.  Then, the next time I turn on the machine it asks to wait while updates are configured;  and finally, it "fails to complete the configuration" and "resets" as described above.  What happened several times in the last two days.  What should I do to get this resolved failure?

    Hi BonnieDoon,

  • Updates the window: KB974417, KB979909, KB982168 do not settle

    Since a few days my computer tried to download and install these updates 3.
    As far as the updater is concerned, they download and install fine showing successful, however seconds after Windows Updater is complete "Install these updates" he asks again if I want to download and install the same updates.

    Although KB974417 gives me an NDR 0x66A

    Hi, the bad news is that .NET Framework is damaged and you will need to reinstall it.

    Use it as a guide (I got the same error 0x66a code):

    When you try to install an update for .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5, you may receive Windows Update '0 x 643' error code or error code Windows install "1603".

    When installing updates using Windows update or Microsoft Update you may receive error 80070643 0 x or 0 x 643

    Regarding the cleaning tool, download it here, use the 2nd link on the download page:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx
    namely: http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-Components-PostAttachments/00-08-90-44-93/dotnetfx_5F00_cleanup_5F00_tool.zip

    When I have had problems with the .NET Framework and had to reinstall, use the cleanup tool to remove all frames on my computer.

    With the help of WU (automatic), I then installed .NET Framework 3.5 and then returned to 1.1, 1.1 SP. Leave it to THE day those and if all those optional went for them.

    After all, I even threw in .NET Framework 4.

    It was annoying and time consuming but now .NET Framework is up to date and works well.

    As to why it became corrupt, who knows.

    Using Windows Vista 32 or 64-bit?
     
    How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or the 64 bit version of the Windows operating system.
     
    I would say you can download service pack 1 manually, install on your computer and check the status of the issue.
     
    If you are using Windows Vista 32-bit, you can download service pack 1 from the following link.
    Windows Vista Service Pack 1 five language standalone (KB936330).
     
    If you are using Windows Vista 64-bit, you can download service pack 1 from the following link.
