• Windows Vista/Defender telling me that I have multiple problems after update

  I use Windows Vista.  I've had problems since getting an update a few days ago.  Windows Defender is constantly telling me that I have multiple problems - if nothing has changed outside the Windows Update.  When I try to open my Convert (bought) the DVD program, it displays the message from the Red Cross stating that "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  May not be the appropriate permissions for access you to them.  I should have all permissions on a computer at home.

  It would help if you gave the details of the messages you see Windows Defender.

  It could be that you have a fake antivirus infection similar to this:

  Updates that took place after the restore point have been removed, if these programs need to be updated again (it is the restoration of the operating system - in fact, that's why it works).  It works simply on the updates of Windows, but on the updates or installations of any kind (except changes to the data).  This is not a problem and should completely (and was mentioned in my post above).  Reinstall the updates and you'll be fine here.

  System Restore may take a long time.  L ' turn off in the Middle can cause problems - problems, different problems and even serious problems.  If updates are still there (and you encounter other problems which essentially the same that you started with most of the time), then the system restore did not work or was not correctly filled (but it make some changes if some of your edits are no longer working at least partially and perhaps even completely) (, but just was not given enough time).  I suggest you try again and this time give him more time to finish - say a few hours at least, or maybe more, given the current circumstances.  To do this before you perform any relocation above because they will be lost again.

  I don't understand the issue of e-mail messages.  What do you mean by 'coded '?  What email program are you using?  I suspect that this may be the result of turning off the system before restoring it finished (or the problem with the system restore if it worked actually).  A successful restoration will solve I hope that whatever it is as well - but if we cannot get this to work, we need to abandon this effort at least for the moment.

  If this does not work, then I suggest you follow the advice of Malke (assuming that you have not already) and explain your efforts with the restoration of the system and the results that occurred as well so that they fully understand the situation.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I'm on windows vista, the review said that I have a file that uses disk space

  I 'm on windows vista the healthcheck says I have a file using disk space, the file name is windows.old, if I just delete this, then it will hurt my laptop, I looked at the file and there are thousands of articles, my laptop is slow, what I'm doing. My system is 32 bit. Will someone please advise me in laymans terms I'm not exactly a pro with laptops.

  
  

  The Windows.old subfolder contains all of the files from a previous installation of Windows. If you copied all your personal data of the user subfolder of windows.old. Then, it is safe to delete.
  And, since it is the Windows Update forum, which focuses on the update of the issues, this question must be validated in a more appropriate forum. Such as the
  Maintenance forum and performance of Vista.

• I was not able to do updates. It seems that I have the Trojan horse virus @in32/sirefef.al

  I had minor problems with my computer, but the Microsoft Security icon will blink sometimes indicating that there was a problem.  After finding how to use the program, I discovered that, under the story, I had a virus Trojan:Win32 / sirefef.al and .aq.  I would remove and then a few hours later they would return.  I would like to know what it takes to permanantly remove from my hard drive.  He has now disabled my ability to down load updates for windows, and some of my security system is disabled as well.  If anyone can help I'd appreciate it of course.  Thank you

• Someone called me from the "World Wide Web" informing me that I had "a Trojan horse".

  Someone said that they were in the 'World Wide Web', recently called saying me that I have a Trojan horse installed on my Windows 7 laptop and they will be "blocks my ip address" to stop the Trojan horse to spread. He said they have my 'saved' details and he says randomly a license number, but it could not determine which edition, I had (I have home premium and professional). So immediately, I knew it was a scam and hung up.

  He then called again. There, with a strong Indian accent told me to go to MSCONFIG and said that services will slowly turn into a "stopped" if I continue. Then he told me to go to Task Manager and find CSRSS.exe (I knew it was a critical program) and I asked him more about "World Wide Web". He said that I could not re - install windows in 3 months and it could 'block my ip address' in 24 hours. So, I'm hung up once more.

  I do not give away details.

  I have Kaspersky Internet Security installed 2013 and it runs scans daily, but no malicious objects (such as virus or trojan programs) were detected.

  I would like to know if some services must be under 'arrested' on MSCONFIG and more info on "CSRSS.exe".

  Thank you

  Look out! It's a scam, those rotten bastards you to give them control of your PC, then try to sell you anti-virus software for your bank or credit card, they'll even install it without uninstalling your existing anti virus, not a good thing. They persist and if you fall for it and compensation they will ring in a few months and say you've scammed we will reply your money for a fee, give us your credit card details.

  They scammed a few pension I know who have had to cancel credit cards after losing money.

  When they ring back their request for a number to call them back on and see if you get a report that he's cheating if you have it, most places have a Government regulator.

  Why windows vista get spyware still... I got dr.pc spyware... many malwares... and now my windows Defender has cruppted now... my laptop gives me 1 gb speed even though I have 3 GB in it... don't maker windows vista solve this problem?

  Hello

  See the message next to get recommendations on antivirus programs and spyware.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.
