• Firefox cannot connect to the internet, while the other browsers can... have deleted the software and reinstalled... turned off firewall and virus program.

  Delete a few files TEMP this morning and AOL and Firefox no longer works. AOL will again and removed all traces of the first installation of Firefox and downloaded a new version of Firefox. The program opens, but it immediately goes into a status of "not responding" and appears in the tab 'connection '. Cannot click on anything on the Firefox screen. Need to go to the Task Manager to kill the program. Have removed and reinstalled several times. Disconnected the firewall and antivirus. Again and always get the same result. Tried in safe mode. Same result. Going on 8 hours of work on this thing. Need help badly. The system is a version update of XP.

  Thank you all, but I gave up. Tried all the suggestions without success. Put at disposal of the HDD with Windows XP and the problem of Firefox and loaded Windows 7 on a new drive. I had saved a file backup Favorites from the XP machine and successfully migrate the new hard drive. Thanks again.

• . How can I disable AND restore (step by step) Windows XP firewall and also disable and restore Microsoft Security Essentials?

  Read the 'Yellow Book' on Windows XP for Dummies, I learned that if you do not disable the windows firewall and other protection, if you defragment, you tend to gum the system.  I just be reformatted with a Home Edition CD and I have the SP2 and SP3 updates (134!), as well as Adobe Reader and Flash Player, and a few other basic programs installed.  Does anyone know a quick way to disable MS SecEss and the firewall of Windows XP?  I guess its easy just go to the firewall in the control panel and to stop him for now.  Still to learn, people.  Thanks a lot for all ideas.  Dave Becker

• McAfee Firewall and analysis

  I have a Center B520 idea with the following installed: -.

  NET BT more (McAfee) installed through my Internet BT package

  Upgrade of Windows 8 (which has updated to Windows 7, which was originally installed)

  Last week, a message appeared telling me that the McAfee Firewall and Anti Virus have been disabled.

  When I went to them I couldn't turn on them. I removed and then reinstalled BT Net more, but it has not fixed the problem.

  I thought then that I would do a system restore to an earlier date, but at the end of the present, I got the following error message:

  System restore failed during the removal of the following

  Path C:\Windows\System32\DRIVERS\b95df1c913bec87a.sys

  an unexpected error occurred 0x8007007b

  I also seem to have lost the ability to restore the complete system for the default option.

  Anyone has any ideas on what might solve this problem, and also, is there a way I can now restore the system to its original state with Windows 7

  Thanks for any help

  Hello solid,

  Sorry for the delay in response. I tried what you said but not good. The problem was because I had installed Windows 8 Upgrade over the original factory installation Windows 7. This disables the restore a key.

  I talked to technical Lenovo who pointed me in the direction of the restoration of disks. I now have these and have restored the computer back to its "factory settings (so the delay). The problem with McAfee has now been resolved.

  I think that the computer has been infected by a virus, but the cleaning system all corrected now.

  Thanks for your help.

• Center of Windows security, firewall and defender will be not turn on?

  I can not turn Windows Vista 32 bit SP2 or Windows Defender Security Center or Windows Firewall. All services are also missing: Center security, firewall, Windows Defender and Windows. Also my BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) was also missing.

  I get error 0 x 80070422 when I try to run Defender. I have no problem when you try to run the Windows Firewall. I have could not start the Security Center when I try to open it.

  , I ran an in depth with AVG and ran Adaware scan and nothing showed up. I also ran a fix of batch file from another topic that was supposed to restart these services and who restarted the service BITS, but still no luck with the Defender, firewall or Security Center. I turned off AVG free version (no built in firewall) and still no luck. I also ran a Microsoft fix for the Windows Firewall and it just hung and never finished. As far as I can tell that it continues to receive windows updates, 16/05/12 was his last.

  It's my dads PC and I don't know when this started. I installed AVG and Adaware when it 1st had the PC 2 years ago.

  All that I really care is that it has the Windows Firewall running it is already using the free version of AVG, but it has no firewall. My question is, is it possible Microsoft Security following summer not included in the previous version of Vista before service packs? Adversely, if possible, so I just tried to download the windows firewall or the whole of MS Security Center?

  Anyway, any help with this would be appreciated. I read a lot of topics already.

• Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall is not displayed correctly.

  Firefox has just updated from 5. < something > to 7.0.1 on my HP Windows 7 64 bit PC.

  Before the upgrade, the Barracuda Spam dialog correctly.

  After the upgrade, the left column where all the boxes are, is now too narrow to display the boxes and watch instead of points. If I have the mouse on where the box is supposed to be, a small pop-up appears and displays the checkbox but I can't go to her because she seems to be a sort of invocation of method of scoring.

  First of all, we noticed this on the computer of my wife which apparently updated 7.0.1 earlier today. Open the same page in IE works fine. Open the same page on my update of the computer pre-Firefox worked fine. After the upgrade, it won't display correctly now.

  No other changes made. The update for Firefox 7.0.1 broke. Needs fixing, needs fixing soon please.

  Thank you.

  I can verify that it is not attached to either 9.0. However, my ISP switched to one just today updated Barracuda Spam and Virus Firewall. It is running Firmware version 5.1.0.013 production and boxes now display correctly.

  Kudos to Barracuda.

• Satellite P750/P755 - backup and restore Windows 7

  Hello

  My hard drive is about to fail on my Windows 7 Satellite P750; I get warnings of impending failure for a month now. I bought a hard drive again, and he's ready to go, but I am unable to create a backup and restore point. I get an error message 0 x 81000037: "snapshots of files cannot be read.

  Let me give you a part of the history of my machine before we get to the question. Windows 7 is pre-installed on this machine. A year ago, I created a new partition and installed Linux. Linux then took over the responsibilities of the boot. A couple of weeks, I deleted the Linux partition. This gave me a problem because the computer could not start. Fortunately I had recently created a return upwards and the restore point, and during the process, I was asked if I wanted to create a Windows 7 Home Premium repair disc. I could use this CD to access a command line tool that makes the new bootable machine.

  However, I have more a hidden on my machine boot partition (at least according to the disk management snap-in I'm not). Now, I get the above error when I try to create a new backup and restore point. I don't have a copy of the previous backup and restore point (I deleted it to make room for a new).

  From my research, apparently, one of the possible causes of the error 0 x 81000037 is related to the size of the hidden boot partition. Because I do not have the hidden boot partition I fear this could be the cause.

  There are other possible causes of this error. For example, a virus that the antivirus refuses to give access to during the back up and restore the partition, and junction points in to save readers who are the mounted volumes. I ran a full scan on my computer and cannot find any threats. I checked my junction points (which are a bit) and none are mounted drives.

  This brings me to suspect that the lack of a boot partition is the problem. I saw in the forums of some suggest it is better to back up all my data in the traditional way (already done, since you ask), install the new drive to hard and then reinstall Windows 7.

  So eventually, we get to my question!

  Windows 7 is installed on my machine, I think that I don't have the disks to reinstall on a new hard drive. Is this correct? I am able to get a copy?

  To be honest, I wouldn't reinstall Windows on a hard disk again, rather than using a return to the top of the spirit and point of restoration. I have a LOT of programs and rubbish that have accumulated in it in the (almost) last 3 years.

  Thank you for your patience. If there are some details that might be useful, but I left out (I'm sure there is) please let me know.

  > I think Windows 7 is installed on my machine, that I don't have the disks to reinstall on a new hard drive. Is this correct? I am able to get a copy?

  You have not all discs because Toshiba provides clean recovery disc creator software which is always pre-installed on new laptop computers.
  This recovery disk tool or support of creator creates the recovery disk that can be used to recover the laptop.

  It was a big mistake not to create this disk, however, you have the possibility to order this disc here:

  the cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
