  Hello

  This is part of AdAware. Check with AdAware and Forums support. Frankly the functions of resident
  AdAware seem bogged down many systems, so I recommend you to use it as a Scanner only.

  AdAware Support
  http://www.lavasoft.com/support/supportcenter/

  AdAware Forums
  http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/

  In AdAware - settings (for the free version) remove or set up as an application
  Scanner - don't forget update before running - you'll probably not need however have
  It install like on-demand is probably a good idea, and I use that way.

  Tab updates - set it to check automatically - you will then need to check updates
  When you run it on demand. Also do the same for the updated information.

  AdWatch Live! tab - uncheck process

  Close AdAware (right-click on the icon in the Notification area - OUTPUT)

  Start - type in the area of research-> Services find top - make a right click on - RUN AS ADMIN

  Find Lavasoft Ad - Aware Service - double click on it and set to MANUAL and STOP

  Now you can run AdAware as a Scanner at the request. After that you start it then right click on sound
  Icon in the Notification area near the clock - OUTPUT

  ================================

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x - you can use just one.

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• Firefox will always be a way course surf the web using a Windows XP computer after that leaves Microsoft support Windows XP?

  Windows XP is still my favorite operating system, but Microsoft will give up support in the coming days. If I understand correctly, shortly after which using Windows Internet Explorer to surf the web on a computer running Windows XP (or can) make the computer vulnerable to piracy. It will be the same for the use of Mozilla Firefox on a computer that is running Windows XP?
  I think I saw an ad for Google Chrome with that they would continue to support the browser for use on a Windows XP computer. I think that Google said they would keep releasing patches to secure the Chrome. Can anyone confirm that and more importantly, is Mozilla Firefox secure? Also, should I uninstall Internet Explorer on my Windows XP computer when leaving Microsoft support?

  Note - I am posting this with a newer computer that works under Windows 7 64-bit.

  Firefox will continue to work with Windows XP. At best, in the near future, I could see the required configuration to encountered to Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (obligation is SP2 for now). Security in Firefox patches are the same, regardless of the version of Windows you are using.

  Keep in mind that without security updates, the operating system itself will be precarious. What browser and software security that you use will not change.

  Internet Explorer is a component of the system, and you should not attempt to remove it in Windows Vista and lower. From Windows 7, there's a way of kind of uninstall from the control panel.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".

  If there is no consideration of security, you can activate the account invited on all computers and configure the authorization for it.

  Problems of permission and security with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.

  All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account on all computers that they are allowed to connect to.

  Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users.

  Using the functionality of all saved the need to configure authorization for each of theestablished users, it does mean not all those who feel that they would like to connect.

  Users who do not have an account on the computer are not part of the Everyone group.

  If the LAN security is useless and users are not established, then move on the guest account provides the semi-open configuration.

  Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

  Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

  This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

• Computer Windows Vista is unable to see the Boxee Box or Windows 7 computer.

  original title: network sharing

  I have a Windows Vista-based computer, a Windows 7 computer and a Boxee Box from d-link.

  The windows vista machine is set up for sharing, but I thought that you should choose what is shared.  I'm not able to see the Windows 7 machine or the boxee box to share with... This is due to the different operating systems?

  When I implemented the boxee box he showed all the shared files when I couldn't see the device to share... why?

  Maybe this can help.

  ---------------------
  

  The following looks like a long history (it's only 600 words). I know not what is knowledge of the user, and exactly what has been done already. The info go through the motions of the configuration and verify most of the common aspects of the LAN Windows OS features '.

  ----------------------

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous Working Group sharing methods which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  To get best results connect to each computer system screen and set all the computers to be on a bearing the same name of Working Group , while each computer has its own unique name.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

  ------------------------------
  

  Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

• Windows intrusion 10 updates on the Windows 7 computer

  The last two weeks, my Windows 7 computer was flooded with Windows strange looking (without specifying which version) update alerts. I decided that these are for Windows 10 I did not. When I look at ' Check for Updates ' I see this "your Windows 10 upgrade is ready" looking at me. I don't want to install Windows 10 in the near future. How can I avoid these alerts to upgrade Windows 10 out of my computer?

  Duke.

  I am pleased that everything is resolved.

  Personally, I think there you said strange things - KB3035583 is the application GWX [the thing that first prepared to obtain updated Windows 10].  Looks like it went through the manual procedure to clear the queue to update [Windows Update problems resolution is 90%, but it could have been something in the other 10% causing the problem].  I've lived all this manually myself and it's a pain in the neck; someone else to do instead is a very wise move.  I hope that wasn't cheap.

  I think you should go to the altered registry key just to see if she is still there so you will know where you stand.  You open the application on your computer called RegEdit then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX [every bit appears in RegEdit, just as folders appear in Windows Explorer].

  If you do not change your mind about the update of Windows 10 then do so well before July 29.  Offer ends this day so any upgrade must be activated before this day complete and 10 Windows [or that date itself, MS have not been clear on this detail].  I do it in the first week of July because in August, the activation of MS servers took a week to accept new activations [presumably they were overloaded] and the same delays could happen again, in the run-up to the deadline.

  The reason why that I'm upgrading to Windows 10 on my other computer [Windows 7], it is that I have every reason to expect to last beyond January 14, 2020.  At this time, Windows 7 drops support.  All new "vulnerabilities" that are discovered will be corrected not and Windows 7 will quickly become dream of a hacker.  So it would not be safe a Windows 7 can connect to internet after this date.

  I use Windows 10 on this computer since the start of the development phase and have managed to tame most of its annoying habits.

  The method of lowest stress for the execution of the update is download an installation file, use it to create a USB/DVD system, then it executes as a 'repair installation' {also called an "In-Place upgrade"}.  I can give you links to download and instructions page to do all this if you post to this thread when the time comes.

  Because we exchanged messages on this topic, it appears at the top of my list of activities if a new message arrives on it so that I know if you have new questions.

  So that's it.  All the best,

  Denis
