Which is better Windows 7 v Norton Defrag.

Fact Norton would Defrag work tool differently that Windows 7 built in the Defragmention utility, or Norton Software called it all utility Windows defragmentation?  The reason I asked that is because advice from another forum dated in 2010, I went to Task Scheduler and Defrag found the same demand that I put in place in Norton Utilities, which made me wonder what software is actually perform the defragmentation.

A second part of this question, what Windows defragmentation software do you think is the best to use with Windows 7 Professional and why?

Thank you in advance for the answer to my questions.

Sincerely,

J.B.

The defragmentation programs will have different ways to go to the task and work against each other.

Windows Defrag works well, and I would like to dump all Norton Utiliies.

The best is the game and forget Windows defragmentation...

    Which is better 10 Windows or Windows 8.1 on 8 HP flow?

    The biggest problem with the tablets of flow and win 10 is battery draining, especially in "standby mode". The only work around is turn off wifi, bluetooth and the location in the settings before you let sleep. Not a very good alternative.

    You can return if you delete the old Windows folder that was created during the upgrade.

    Go to settings > update & Security > Recovery > go back to a previous version of Windows.

    Follow the prompts.

    If you can not go back, and you have not created a recovery image before the upgrade, you will need to contact HP support for recovery media.

    The MS media creation tool that microsoft must create a USB key for 8.1 installation, will work on the flow of a recovery. Unless you buy a new key for this option to work.

  • Microsoft Windows XP and Norton Internet Security

    Hello
    I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Portege R200. After the new installation of MS Windows XP Professional with SP2 and all recommended Toshiba drivers and utilities and the installation of Norton Internet Security 2005 AntiSpyware Edition laptop starts repeatedly with delay. The delay is manifested by jump for 1 to 2 minutes between when the icons are loaded on the desktop and programs (their icons) are loaded into the system tray. In this break, the system tray has no answer to all actions and the CPU is fully charged (the fan continues its maximum). In addition, sometimes the computer doesn´t wake up from sleep or hibernation mode.
    I saw this problem with Symantec Corp., and they confirmed my suspicions that some Toshiba drivers or utilities collide with Norton Internet Security system services, but they don t know which of course.

    I want to ask you if you know something about this problem because there are a lot of utilities and drivers Toshiba and it is impossible to just try on which we put problem and it is also impossible to use Norton Internet Security on my laptop.

    I would like to add that all used Toshiba drivers and utilities are up-to-date as well as MS Windows XP and Norton Internet Security. The computer has certainly no viruses as well.

    Thank you.

    Hello Martin

    I had the same problem with the Satellite P20 (1 GB of RAM). I installed the Sophos anti-virus application and after that, I noticed the same situation. The delay is certainly due after installing antivir software. I deleted and everything works fine now.

    It makes sense that the software companies are trying to complain of producers for laptop but my experience is that Toshiba has designed tools and utilities have no influence on the applications of antivir. I recommend you to test different applications with antivir. I tested it with Trend Micro PC - cillin Internet security and AntiVir guard. Two of them works well, and I noticed that the problem has disappeared.

  • Which is better, migration or clean install?

    Recently, I switched from PC to Mac, and I have a program from my PC (Quick Books) I want to be able to turn on my Mac.  I am considering the merger of 6 to do this, but I have a few questions before I dive.

    1. I have a xp sp2 installation disc.  I read in the documentation of Fusion 6 it supports xp sp3.  Can I create a virtual machine using my drive?  If not, is there a workaround? Yes, I have a certificate of authenticity.

    2. my PC has xp sp3 installed so I guess that I would be able to migrate, but I wish that all the operating system and the QB without all the other applications and files that are installed on the machine.  Is this possible?  And if so, how buggy would?  I'd be better off buying a new copy of windows to

    install?  Which brings me to the question

    3. which is better, migration or clean install?


    Thank you in advance for your help!

    If the copy of Windows XP that you have the certificate of authenticity for is an OEM version supplied with the PC that you are allowed to transfer to another system, physical or vital, because he lives and dies on its original system install on it EULA.

    P2V is an important, and sometimes necessary mechanism however own building will be always relanceraient overall a better Virtual Machine built and less problematic than if you take the time to purge the installation P2V everything that was relevant to the physical system originally installed and even in this case the virtual partition may not be aligned correctly and therefore affect performance significantly.

    In a scenario of such use you mentioned her own building is the absolute path to go and Microsoft Windows SP2 will install successfully even if you may need to download the Windows XP Service Pack 3 Installation Package network for developers and it professionals if you update via Windows Update problems.  (I would download the SP above!)  That said, don't forget that there will be no updates to Windows XP, especially security update, dated April 8, 2014 and in the circumstances I would not of Windows XP in order to have an Internet connectivity than later as Black Hat Hackers will target not doubtably Windows XP for bugs of extra security they can find after Microsoft ceases to support.  I would consider to move to a more recent version of Windows or to abandon Windows altogether!

    I have this search browser "inbox" which blocked in windows Explorer. Any ideas on how to remove it?

    Hi Perry,

     
    1. What is the operating system installed on your computer recently?
    2. What do you mean by "I have this search browser"inbox"which blocked in windows Explorer?
     
     
    If you think that your computer contains viruses, you can search for viruses using the Microsoft Safety Scanner, and then check if it helps.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
     
  • Is there possible to see which are the background running processes in the system which is having Windows XP as operating system?

    Is there possible to see which are the background running processes in the system which is having Windows XP as operating system?

    There is no resource manager (or resource monitor) in the XP Task Manager.

    Please read these notes I send to the people who are (sometimes) concerned about the svchost.exe process number they see on their system or when it looks like one of their svchost.exe process has run amok.  We can not all apply to your situation, but I don't want to type in a bunch of stuff once again.  Then get Process Explorer and you will be able to be Omniscient:

    To help understand your processes svchost.exe and what is running under them, read this article and you will be smarter than the average bear:
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.html

    You may be able to get clues with what is happening with your svchost.exe process using the Task Manager and maybe understand.

    You will always be able to understand what is happening with your svchost.exe process if you use Process Explorer.

    Download Process Explorer, so you can see what is 'really' running on your system, especially behind those svchosts several process see you in the running task manager.

    Download Process Explorer from here:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

    You'll like Process Explorer when you get the hang of it.  Process Explorer is the Manager of Windows taskbar on steroids.

    Process Explorer installs nothing so it won't slow down your system since it works only on request.

    Process Explorer can seem a little intimidating at first because it has so much information, but you will begin to make love the way it works when you're looking for performance problems.   You can even say EP you want it to be your new default 'Task Manager' value in the future.  You can always run the original tasks as Manager.

    Once you get Process Explorer running, expand the columns, made drag the corners of the screen for it's largest, etc., so you can see as much information as possible in the window.  Now you can really see what is running on the system.

    Here's a screenshot of my poor system when I use Process Explorer:

    http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2567/ProcessExplorer.PNG

    The CPU column is usually the most interesting start with performance issues - which uses the most?

    It is OK and normal to have several svchost exe processes running.  Important XP Services are actually running under svchost.exe processes. There are sometimes an XP Service that runs under a svchost.exe process, sometimes there are several Services in XP, which runs under a svchost.exe process.

    Sometimes malware will hide behind a svchost.exe process because the malware knows that you won't be able to find it in the Task Manager.  He will hide behind a svchost.exe process to deceive you, but you can outsmart it.

    Malicious software can disguise itself also seems to be a legitimate process of XP or he could hide under/behind other processes that you see running in Task Manager if you can't see the execution.

    The malware would trick you into thinking you must use a System Restore Point, run a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch when you really don't.

    Looking at the display in process Explorer, you want the CPU most to be associated with the system idle process.  It's 'free time' on your system, so more time there, more free.

    If you look at the graphs of performance and see red spikes (or not) double click the graphic in the upper left corner to display the graph to use.  Move the mouse over any pics to see what are the causes.  Even if the Spike has already scroll screen, you can still move the mouse over the edge to see what caused.  You can also just wait for a pic to happen and then see what caused the Spike.

  • Windows Update deleted Norton and will not reinstall. How long can we operate in Mode safe? Ramifications of this?

    I spoke several times with Norton. System Restore was successful a couple of times, but Norton that was in place during this period is no longer present. I'm exploited only in safe mode and do not know how this works, either; It's very limiting.  COMPUTER geeks have determined that no virus or hard drive interest. The computer is unbelievably slow without safe mode, as so well to exploit.  It started mid-October with a Windows Update.  Norton has been reinstalled and worked for several weeks until another Windows update.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Norton until I'm blue in the face and it's still wobbly.  Any help and suggestions would be so appreciated.  Thank you ~.

    Hi TaraYA,

    ·         What happens when you try to install Norton?

    ·         You receive an error message?

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    Windows Update does not remove any safety program. However, you can check the program installed on the computer or not?

    If the edition of Vista is not written on the COA sticker, I suggest that you ask in the Forums to Support HP about this:

    The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

  • WRT 310N worm. 2. cannot update Windows Vista and Norton 360 since I installed this router

    Hello world

    As the topic title says, since the installation of the router WRT 310N worm. 2 on my laptop, Windows Vista, and Norton 360 can not be changed - I continue to receive operation failed errors whenever I try to download the latest version of the software updates or antivirus. Generated error doesn't also have a HelpFile associated with it.

    I went to the admin settings, but since I'm pretty new to routers and wireless technology in general, I'm a little busy with what we have to try so I thought I'd come here and ask the experts.

    Would be very happy for any help!
