Updates with the unwanted software?

Why do I have to deal with unwanted software (i.e. "optimize your PC" - with its mafia warnings from my mistakes of registry - and "24/7 Support" and toolbar AVG.) It is a real nuisance, headaches and was my precious time!

Don Ross

Don,

It's business, pure and simple. Adobe Reader, Flash Player, Shockwave and AIR are free products. Well, as anyone in business will tell you, "there no free lunch." Adobe pays people to develop and update these products and then gives them to the public without charge. Someone has to pay for it, so they enlist authors, such as McAfee and Norton, or in some cases offering downloads of the trial of paid software from Adobe in the hope that the Downloader will try, like it and buy it.

The alternative is punch a number of credit card and then forking over $10 or more to get the latest update. I really want to do all the six weeks (more often for me because I use a LOT of Adobe software). I seriously doubt that you would like to be.

This is a simple "uncheck" the box and do not download the software of the sponsor. I read hundreds of posts here of people who "do not have the time" to uncheck the box... and yet they have the time to create an Adobe ID, log, find the right forum and then after a hangover "do not have the time" to uncheck a box during an update or download.

Do not 'of bagging on you"... just pointing out the reality of the situation.

  • Satellite A100-451: conflict of IE with the BT software

    I bought my Satellite 100-451 in May 2007.
    Windows Internet Explorer often didn't work since the beginning, so I downloaded Firefox and have used it since then.

    I recently installed the software for my newly installed BT Home Hub, BT Yahoo email, talking about BT, BT Softphone and BT Vision, which does not open with Firefox for some reason any.

    It opens with Internet Explorer and my computer now freezes everytime I try to use the BT software.
    As soon as I uninstalled all the software of BT Internet Explorer started working intermittently again.

    I tried to reinstall Internet Explorer in the past and I've always updated over the months.

    The problem must be something that is in conflict with.
    I always send reports to Microsoft when asked, but they have not sent any patches.

    Help!

    HM and may I ask you what you expect now?

    First of all, I don t think that IE is not compatible with your BT Home Hub software.
    If something is not compatible with the BT Home Hub with the IE software ;)

    In my opinion, your first point of contact should be the BT Home Hub software manufacturing support team.
    Guys design software and must ensure that own software would run on Windows operating system.

    That's why to visit website of the BT Home Hub software manufacturing and check if it y some fixes or any further details on similar problems.

    Restrictions does not after ISO put 10.0.1 update with the new iPhone 7 any which option of ranking app I don't choose no changes are made.  All the patches?

    Thank you

    Hello Launcher,

    Thank you for bringing your question about Restrictions here in Apple Support communities. My understanding of your question is that you change the Restrictions, but no change is noticed. I tried the same on my iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 10 and noticed a similar situation. Please allow me the opportunity to explain how the Restrictions is designed to work. First, I put my limitations for applications, do not allow Apps and together 4 +, which basically means everything beyond 4 + will be blocked from buying. Then I went to the App Store and the first app that caught my attention was NCIS: hidden crimes. This app is rated 12 + and is definitely an application I would not want my toddler to help. It is that Restrictions come into play. When I type on NCIS: hidden Crimes, the Get option is grayed out. Restrictions does remove all apps, songs, books, etc. from view, but it will prevent the purchase, download, and install all applications rated above the setting you choose when you set up restrictions. It's the help article that discusses the Restrictions and prevent purchases: Use Restrictions in order to avoid buying on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

    I checked on the restrictions help articles, and I understand where it can be a bit confusing. In the help article Use Restrictions on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, it says "You can use Restrictions, also known as parental control, to block or limit specific applications and features on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch." This means in fact that apps, features or services (rated above that helped you, or if you have turned off completely) can he no longer appears on the device if the restriction is activated and starts blocking them. I also tested this by activating Restrictions and turned the cursor for Safari to off. When I went back to the home screen, Safari doesn't show any more and I could no longer use it.

    I hope this helps to clarify how the Restrictions. If my understanding of the issue was not accurate to the issue that you are experiencing, I will be happy to pursue this issue with you. Please indicate exactly what you took measures, and what expectations you had or the some restrictions, applications, features, or services you are restricted. Thanks again and have a great rest of your day!

  • Bug in reporter Panel updated with the property Value Chart

    Hi guys,.

    Defer to what the Panel update property is set to true and chart is updated with the help of node "Property value", data are not updated graphics. Capture of the block diagram and VI (2014) screen gasket.

    Is this a known bug, and is there any fix for it?

    Thank you

    I have not tried running your code, but here are some possible solutions:

    1. There is a primitive to write the value of a control by index (added in ~ 2013). This is designed to be used others live too and should work like a local.
    2. You can send data using another way (like a queue, etc.).
    3. Use the Ctl Val.Set method.
    4. Do not use a chart. Use a chart and manage the buffer yourself. You can find some examples if you're looking for graph XY.

    Hello laughingpaws,

    To help resolve this issue, use the System File Checker (SFC.exe) tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones trying to connect with the desktop software for my blackberry

    Hey, M trying to connect with the desktop software for my blackberry torch 9800 and it asks password for the connection. I am using same unlock password I use for my bb but for desktop sofware it shows incorrect... pls help!

    Make sure that you type on your BB, it's what you type in DM. don't forget that the keyboard on your BB is different from the keyboard on your PC. Some people think they are type numbers on their BlackBerry when they are really typing the letters. For example, to use numbers on a BB you must hold the ALT for each button, you push so you have to hold the alt key while typing 1 2 3 4. If you hold down the ALT key on the BB you would really be typed all W E R S. sometimes, people will hit the ALT key once (and not hold the button) before they enter the password and then you get 1 E R S.

    Who is? Make sure that you do not mix numbers and letters.
