What anti-virus for Comcast email
I have a Dell OptiPlex 3020 with Windows 7 Pro and recently changed my internet provider Comcast cable. With cable Comcast is my internet provider, I use their own email Comcast as my e-mail program. I use the regular version of Vipre as my antivirus. I was wondering if the Vipre antivirus was check my emails so I contacted Vipre support to see if the Vipre AV was in fact checking my emails. I was told that it wasn't the support Vipre agent. So I called Comcast tech support to ask if Comcast was check my email and told me that I have to get their "Constant Protection" program in order to have my verified emails. One of you have Comcast cable or any provider of cable internet and how are you going to have your emails monitored for virus content. What programs antivirus will work with Comcast cable to monitor the emails of Comcast. I would appreciate hearing back from any of you with suggestions on what to do and what might work for me. I would like to know what antivirus, malware or any other safeguards you use with internet cable operators. I love the format and layout of the Comcast E-Mail more Windows Live E-Mail and would rather continue to use Comcast email instead of download the Windows Live E-Mail. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Pete, and welcome to the forum.
Analysis of e-mail (as a separate item) is a layer of redundent in AVs these days. It's a little something of scareware used AVs market.
Email infections occur when attachments or links to malicious software are open and written on your hard drive, not when the email is downloaded. If your AV real-time cannot detect malware at this point, his e-mail scanner does not detect it during the download, because both use the same signature database.
I never activated mail scanning in many AVs I used over the years and have never been infected through this vector.
I use Comcast, but doubt that their email should be treated differently. Currently the free AVs of avast and Panda Cloud are recommended by the regulars here. Their real-time protection will protect you from infections of e-mail, even if they do not use a separate email scanner.

It seems that your registry cleaner question has not been answered.
The so-called "registry cleaners" can aggravate a situation and take measures, we are manually updated on many times.
It is better not to rely on these programs, if you don't know what is happening with the proposed fix and the registry.
Otherwise, a change in the registry can make a system that no longer starts due to an error.Here are a few good discussions:

How can I know what anti virus do I have and where can I find it
theres nothing on my desk so I don't know what I have and I want to turn it off for 10 minutes. Windows xp
Have you actually installed an antivirus application?
Look at the system of Notification area (next to the time display). Place the cursor of the mouse on each of the icons (make sure to click the chevron pointing to the left if it is present to display all icons). Each icon should have a pop up balloon, explaining that it is.
If one of the icons associated with your antivirus application, right-click and you should get a menu that includes an option to turn it off temporarily. If a right click does not work, [to the left] double click it.
If none of the icons seem to be an antivirus application, follow these steps:
1. open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
2. type the following lines in the black command prompt window and press ENTER after each lineTasklist/SVC > '% userprofile%\Desktop\MyTasks.txt '.
output3. go to your desktop, then double-click on the MyTasks.txt file
4 copy the contents of the MyTasks.txt and paste into your answer hereYou can remove MyTasks.txt after you copy and paste its content in your response.

When you download an anti virus program I get the message of insufficient permissions, why is it I am logged as administrator.
Hi tomholland69,
· What is the full error message?
· You are able to download other programs?
· What web browser do you use?
· What anti-virus program do you use?
Follow these methods.
Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.
After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.
(a) click Start, run.
(b) type msconfigand click OK.
(c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
(d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
(e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

Hey ShanKan808
If norton has expired and you do not want to renew it uninstall it and install another antivirus
Here is the link to the norton removal tool to download and run to remove your expired norton product
http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20080710133834EN&LN=en_US
Then install a different anti-virus and you install only ONE of them
Here are a few good free versions for you to read their comments and to make a choice
Personally I prefer avast and recommend

If your McAfee is an Internet Security Suite, and includes a firewall: No.
If your McAfee product is only one anti-virus: Yes, you need your Vista firewall.
You should have only ONE Firewall enabled in your computer.

AVG anti virus detect any ADF application as being infected
We feel something weird right now. Since some time between 21 July and 22 all versions of AVG anti-virus are detecting the ADF as being infected by a virus JS/Redir javascript libraries. I already tried to contact the AVG on the issue, but they still have to answer in return. At the moment our applications are seen by users as infected with the virus. Since our application is internet facing us cannot really control what anti virus used by our clients. AVG is a fairly popular anti virus so I do not know that some of our customers was probably hit by it.
Until someone asks even the demo hosted by Oracle to http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/faces/index.jspx component causes AVG trigger, it is not only our application do.
Any ideas on what can be done to get AVG to fix this fast (I think Oracle could carry more weight with them so we would do).I remember a similar question 2 or 3 years ago, where this provider software used a false positive. This issue then slipped by Oracle inform the seller of this false positive
