    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.

    Error (s) found:

    It would really appreciate help with this problem - thanks guys!

    Previously, McAfee SecurityCenter has been installed on my pc, but it has been replaced by McAfee Total Protectiononce the subscription has expired. [It isunderlining] I remember getting a Norton trial software installed at a given moment, but this has been removed to make room for software McAfee, to ensure that there is no conflict between the programs.

    You should have installed McAfee Total Protection before as your McAfee Security Center subscription expires. If you're lucky, the following may solve your problem:

    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

    1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop:http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

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

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

    4. now run this triple McAfee fix: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507

    [Note that you you already downloaded the removal tool in my # 1 step b above.] You will restart three times: after uninstalling McAfee Total Protection; After you run the removal tool; and then the reinstallation of McAfee Total Protection.]

    5. after reinstalling McAfee Total Protection, manually & repeatedly update the app until you get a prompt "no update more".

    6. for good measure an another Windows update reset (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058), restart once again & test.

  • Windows Update - Windows error code may not search for updates - 80080005

    My HD crashed and had to get a new one. When I got my laptop, 2 weeks ago I was told because I have a new HD, my laptop has been restored to factory settings.

    Ever since I have EDT decided to back up my laptop, I get an error message from my windows update.

    For this reason many of my programs do not work as usual. For my internet browser, for example, if I have to use the ActivX Control to upload a file it refreshes just the screen.

    You are able to help with my problem or should I go elsewhere?
