Vista Anti-Spyware continues to operate and has only browse to an Internet Explorer upgrade.

We have recently installed McAfee Anti-virus on our computer.  Vista Anti-Spyware continues to operate and has only browse to an Internet Explorer upgrade.

How can I make the default antivirus McAfee for computer and remove Vista Anti-Spyware?  It is not in my software to uninstall.

Thank you

Sarah

Sarah;

Your system is infected with a rogue security application.  Use these instructions to remove it:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-win-7-Internet-Security-2011

If you had a legitimate anti-virus installed before McAfee, did you remove it with a removal tool specialized Publisher of this previous anti-virus before installing McAfee?  Inability to completely remove previously installed security real-time applications can cause performance problems, system instability and even reduced the new facilities of security features.

    Or maybe when you say "toolbar", you mean the 'taskbar '. Is it

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    This is probably the plugin Flash and Firefox and IE do not use the same Flash plug-in. Your list of plugins shows that the Flash plugin used by Firefox is not installed.

  • What are the causes my print spooler continues to operate, and quickly stop again when I restart it? Lexmark P4350 - Windows 7 Edition home premium

    What are the causes to stop working during printing and stop again shortly after I start my print spooler. I also find that my printer takes a long time to start printing after I clicked "Print". I use an all-in-one printer Lexmark P4350 on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    David

    Hi David,

    Thank you for the update.

    Use all the dependency services?

    The solution for slow printing is the print spooler reset.

    When we press the Windows key + R, a window opens. This is called the immediate window.

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers and check. Lexmark is not Windows 7 compatible drivers for the printer. So, you can download the drivers for Windows Vista and install in compatibility mode.

    Follow the steps to install in compatibility mode:
    a. right click on the driver installation file and select Properties and then tap or click on the compatibility tab.
    b. check the box run this program in compatibility mode .
    c. press or click the menu drop down and select a previous operating system, and then tap or click OK.
