Want to replace McAfee Enterprise 8.0.0 by MSE - but I also want to continue to use Spybot/AdAware

Hello

Windows XP/SP3.  I was happily running McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0.0 (recently reached end of life), Spybot S & D (w/o TeaTimer) and AdAware anniversary (free) - the latter two are current as of yesterday (10/05/10).  I would like to continue to run them both and replace the old with MSE.  I was also running AVG Free, until the change of DSL to cable internet - which then interferes with my system - so I uninstalled.

To read messages from the forum here, it seems like it should be good, but I thought that it is wise to ask the 'experts' on how best to proceed, before making any changes on my own.  I have not yet downloaded MSE.

I am pleased to provide you with the necessary additional information.  If so, please let me know.  If this isn't the case, I look forward to receiving your detailed procedure!

Thank you!!

  • I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

    Transfer of license with a twist

    So I've recently upgraded to a new system... Virtually everything has been replaced - the motherboard, RAM, graphics card, processor... Everything but my HARD drive. I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

    Is there anyway for me to be able to turn it on for my new rig? Thank you.

    If you have a retail copy of Vista, you must activate by phone.  Click Start, type "slui 4" and press ENTER.

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940315

    If your copy of Vista is preinstalled on your computer, you can't use it with the new motherboard and you will need to purchase a copy of the license full of Windows.  Most of the editions of Vista out of support in two months so consider Windows 7.

  • I want to continue to use one of my older laptops with Windows XP Pro with Adobe CS4 Design Premium. I want to upgrade XP to Windows 10. Does anyone know if CS4 will be compatible?

    I want to continue to use one of my older laptops with Windows XP Pro with Adobe CS4 Design Premium. I want to upgrade XP to Windows 10. Does anyone know if CS4 will be compatible?

    Hi Stephanie M.

    If your version of Design Premium CS4 for Windows run on a 32 bit OS, then I don't think that it is running in Windows 10. There are a few cases of people install with the 64 bit version of CS4 Design Premium, however. See this thread: Re: CS4 and Windows 10?

    I'm sorry.

    Thank you

  • I want to continue to use 32 bit me with XP Home upgrade on an SSD.

    I intend to get a new PC and use the current versions of the retail me 32 bit with an XP Home upgrade that I own. I have the choice between a 60 GB solid state drive or a 500 GB hard drive, the two Sata III 6 GB/s. The operating system will be compatible with Sata III and are there complications with the SSD or HARD drive?

    FWIW... Technically, you cannot switch from Xp to Windows 7. It would require a clean installation. If you are simply wanting to keep ME or Xp to run some programs then download download Windows XP Mode with Virtual PC or use a different virtual environment if it's ME, you are wanting to use. You can also create a dual boot system. It would help if we knew why you want to be able to keep the older operating system that we can have other options to present.

  • How to get Firefox to check the compatibility of the addon first, then ask me if I want to continue the update of Firefox?

    How to get Firefox to check the compatibility of the add-on first, then ask me if I want to continue the update of Firefox? The update process currently only told me that an add-on has been disable after you apply the update to Firefox. Options > Advanced Options > switch to the update tab, "Warn me if this turns off one of my modules," doesn't seem to work.

    This is an add-on that does this.

    More specifically, what modules are always appear as incompatible after a Firefox updated? Firefox 10, extensions that are made properly shouldn't be a problem, with a few exceptions.

    Extension that contains a binary code must be compiled for each new version of Firefox. These modules are usually installed by applications on security Norton, McAfee, ZoneAlarm, etc..

  • When I logout out, I get a dark screen, swirly wheel and a box that asks if I want to continue the installation or abandonment, but it wont let me click on one.  How can I fix?

    When I logout on my Macbook Air, Safari 9.1, my screen darkens, and there is a box that asks if I want to continue or cancel the installation.  But I can't click on one.  I have not tried to install anything for awhile.  Is this something I can fix it or what I have to visit the Apple store?

    You may have installed one or more variants of the Trojan 'InstallMac '. Please take the following steps to disable.

    The criminal behind this attack tries to make the malware difficult to remove by varying names of the files it installs. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return. A folder named "LaunchAgents" opens.

    Press command-2 key combination to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click on this title to sort the content by date. This will make the related files easy to identify regardless of their names, because they will have the same modification date.

    2A inside of the folder that you just opened, there may be files with the name of all these forms:

    something. AppRemoval.plist

    Something.download.plist

    Something.ltvbit.plist

    Something.notification.plist

    Something.Update.plist

    Here, something is usually an empty string of sense, for example one of the following:

    Epolife

    InstallMac

    Javeview

    Kuklorest

    Manroling

    Otwexplain

    Here are examples, not a comprehensive list. The chain could be anything, and there might be more value of something. Looking for a group of files with the same date of change who match the description.

    Lately, the striker of "InstallMac" a were quick strings 'AppRemoval', 'download', 'ltvbit' and 'update' in the names of its records. For example, you might see file names such as these, instead of the above:

    something. AppVemoral.plist

    Something.dolnwoad.plist

    Something.btvlit.plist

    Something.uadpte.plist

    You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

    Place all of these in the trash. If there are other files whose name begins with something, those in the trash also move. You can get a caveat that some files are locked; Delete them anyway.

    Once you've done that, we may not have anything left in the LaunchAgents folder; in this case, you can remove the folder, but otherwise does not delete it. Other files in the folder are not necessarily malicious (though they may be, if you have also installed another type of malware).

    Log off or restart the computer. The Trojan horse should now be inactive.

    3. This step is optional. Open the folder as in step 1:

    ~/Library/Application Support

    and move it to the trash of the subfolders with the name, something you found in step 2.

    Do not move the Application Support folder or anything else inside.

    4. open the Applications folder. If there is an element named something, or "Hell Zip", or with any of the other names listed in step 2, then drag it to the trash.

    If in doubt, press option-command-4 key combination to get the apps by date added. Look at the apps that have been added since you first noticed the problem. If there is one, that you don't recognize, drag it to the trash.

    You can get an alert that the item is locked. Confirm that you want to move to the trash.

    Empty the trash.

    If you receive an alert that the application is running, force it to quit.

    No, you can use the store for the country where you are now (part of the terms of the store is having to be in a country to use his shop). If the movies are not available in your new country store you can try to contact the film studio/holder of rights and ask them to license to Apple to sell it

    1. you need not "\n" on your orders println().  This command adds an end of line character already in the message.

    3. you should really consider using a Structure of the event.  This way you just don't write and read when you press the Write button and you can also use the structure of the event to make the loop to stop.  I also go up to close the port inside the stop-> value Change event.

  • have replaced my HARD original with an SSD drive, but now my laptop does not recognize HP support assistant?

    Dear Forum,

    I replaced my original HARD with a SSD drive, but now HP support assistant recognizes my phone? The program runs but updates always fail and when I look at general specifications the serial number, product name, number of product, microprocessors, system memory, motherboard, bios system, drive hard (s), and optical drive (s) are all empty. Interestingly, it recognizes the device to display (s) as being mobile intel (R) HD graphics and current resolution of 1366 x 768 and refresh rate 60.

    My laptop is an Australian model HP DV4 3029tx, which is an intel i5 14 "(2ème génération) with AMD graphics 6750" I replaced the original 640 GB hd with a 180 GB ocz vertex 2 using acronis to clone the drive.

    I would be grateful is anyone know how to get hp support assistant to recognize my computer.

    I am wanting to install and use a different webcam sometimes but I have a already built in. I installed the other cam.but it says device cannot be used or already in service; I'm guessing that because I already have a cam. Is there a way I can do and use them both at different times?

    Hi Texaslovely

     

    You cannot capture images using two webcams at the same time. You can try to disable a webcam from the Device Manager, and then try to use the external webcam. See the steps below to disable a device-

    a. go to Device Manager, open the Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation

    b. in Device Manager, look for the device and if you want to disable, and then double-click the device, and then click Driver tab and click on disable.

    I hope this helps.
