• Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool vs Malwarebyte Anti-Malware

  Explain the difference/other services/conflicts between Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool and Malwarebyte Anti-Malware.

  I currently use Anti-Malware in conjunctgion with KIS 2012.

  Hi RW,.

  Not precisely.  I say that the Windows Firewall is perfectly adequate, and I don't know any others that provide better protection (but others may have more options of configuration or bells and whistles, some will offer essentially equivalent protection, and some are not as good as Windows Firewall).  Of course, some will say that there are some firewalls that are better than the Windows Firewall, but is no longer a subject of debate and discussion than anything I saw firmly and convincingly demonstrated.  And we know that the Windows Firewall works properly with Windows and other Microsoft products and has great support.  And I never heard of software conflicting with the Windows Firewall, I heard things regarding 3rd party brands - involving mainly browsers, e-mail programs and security as well as configurations of network programs (not just internet, but internal intranet, you can have in your home using cables (, wireless routers/modems, infrared devices, bluetooth, remote deskop (internal or external) devices if used parental controls, interfaces with the security at home and/or surveillance systems wireless devices such as printers or scanners or fax machines and other similar things).

  Remember, without a firewall your computer give to anyone trying to access the system through any network or remote connection via the ports.  There are several ports, most average users never need.  The firewall blocks essentially all ports except those that are specifically excluded.  That's where you come in.  Each has a default list of excluded ports.  You must go through this list and remove all exclusions that you know you don't need (and be sure you KNOW what you have blocked before deleting the exclusion).  Each exclusion represent a hole in your security that an attacker could have access.  The less the better.  When I came through the list, I probably cut just a little less than 50% of registrants - but I cut some I used but rarely I would have rather the firewall blocks and make the extra effort to unblock port temporarily the few times that I need to leave open at all times.  Although for Vista, this article will help you understand the basic concepts of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Firewall-frequently-asked-questions.   Attention to the last on the list because it provides links to other articles where you can get better and more information that can help you to choose and decide.

  I'm not going to argue here, since you have already the product and more.  This isn't what I would have chosen, but it is probably one of the best on the market suites and much, much better than some other choice, you could have done.  According to me, that it will probably do the job.  Quite simply, I don't know how good it is the Firewall works because I've never used this before then.  It may in fact be just as good and offer more features, or may not provide the same level of protection or cause any problems or conflicts with other programs or with your network (depending on how you setup).  I do not know.  You bought the suite because you wanted more features than just anti-virus protection.

  I think you can guess what I personally would do, but I can't advise you on what to do here - it's your software, your computer and your decision to make.  Don't forget that you can always disable the firewall in KIS and activate Windows Firewall (or the reverse), once you choose.  This comment in my post was directed at all the recipients and I didn't change it to you specifically - I mean not that it appear as more accurately you invites to spend now that you have already bought another product.  I was trying to say to people in general, he was no need to spend money on a separate firewall when the Windows Firewall has been excellent and would do the job perfectly well.  However, Windows Defender does NOT provide adequate and afflicted an antivirus program protection must be added (that may or may not turn off defender during the installation) to be sure.

  In short, the decision is yours to make.

  I hope this helps clarify things.

  Good luck and best wishes!

• Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830) - leads to errors of display adapter & turns off internet.

  Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830) - when this update is installed, to restart my graphics cards & adapter network (Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller) is no longer working.  On their uninstall, I was not able to re - install these devices.  The problem of network adapter prevents me from using the internet. I had to restore my function to return to normal.  This may correct or how I can choose not to install this update & have still "automatic updates?"

  Are you sure that the problem is caused by Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool?

  First, download the drivers for the device in question and is they don't are not already in a zip file, place them in a backup of the folder on your desktop. Once completed, click Start > run > type or paste mrt.exe > OK. Now run a quick scan. Once completed, check the results to see if the drivers for the device in question are detected as malware. Let us know the results and we can go from there.

• Error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer.

  Original title: trying to download

  WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.

  Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

  It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."

  Thanks a lot for any assistance.

  Hello

  ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

  If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

  You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

Can check the programs add and romove, but when the next screen appears to list all installed programs nothing happens, it just says: waiting will list is bieng prepared, expected 15 minutes still nothing, never had this problem before. Thank you

  Alas...

  As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Click Start, run and enter the following command:

  regsvr32 appwiz.cpl

  Click OK and you should see a message like this:

  DllRegisterServer in successful appwiz.cpl

  Restart and see how things look now.

• My XP Home Edition has been plagued by a ghost at startup window since I removed the Bing toolbar.

  My XP Home Edition has been plagued by a ghost at startup window since I removed the Bing toolbar.  The window title bar is simply labeled "Microsoft" and the window is empty.  I think that this problem is related to a very slow start.  I have this problem have fought for almost a year and cannot locate the source.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  original title: Ghost at startup window

  The window title bar is simply labeled "Microsoft" and the window is empty.

  It appears in the Applications tab of the Task Manager?   If so, use with the right button go to the process about which app it is.   If the name of the Image doesn't have a clue you could also use ProcExp to see what is the command line.  (Press Ctrl-Shift-Esc to start TM.   Other OS show the command line in TM, but I don't think that makes XP.)

• Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP? I have

  I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer.  All new computers come with Windows 7.  Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)?   I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back.  AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it.  I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years.   I would like to use XP on a new computer!   I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer.  Thank you very much!

  Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.

  If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.

  Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.

• Offered separately and after other Windows malicious software removal tool updates this month?

  As the header says, I was surprised to see THAT MRT for July 2013 offered after that I had installed all updates of updated patch Tuesday and I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't re-run WU.   Of course those who probably have to download and install automatically WU would not notice this.  I prefer to make my own.

  I noticed the same thing in Windows 7 and 8.

  Is it a new way of doing things?

  How to re - install Solitaire on windows XP I removed and you want to re - install?

  Wrong forum! A moderator will probably pass this thread to the correct forum (or you can move yourself by editing your original question).

  1. Control Panel
  2. Add or remove programs
  3. Add/Remove Windows components
  4. Click to highlight the accessories and utilities, and then click details...
  5. Click to highlight the games, then click details...
  6. Tick Solitaire
  7. Click OK twice, and then Next

  If Solitaire is already checked in step 6, instead it uncheck the box, then step 7, then repeat step 1.
