This morning I went to sign in at FBook, and my account was temorarily closed. I received a warning that some maleware had infected my account, and that Microsoft would help me. All I had to do was download Microsoft Security essentials and they would remove the threat. I was forced to download and scan my computer, and they still didn't find any threat. What is this all about? Just another way to collect info?? Any help is appreciated. View this thread

Yesterday Windows 7 stopped responding and I had to restore my system because I don't have a Windows 7 CD with which I might have tried to repair the OS. The restore apparently did more than restore. All of the subfolders in Windows LIie Mail vanished. They're still somewhere, because when I try to recreate them, I'm told a folder by that name already exists. I can't get them to show up using the Expand/Collapse option because it's grayed out. There are no arrows next to the main folders which means I have no access to saved mail. The main folders are just things like Family and Friends. The subfolders are where the mail goes, and when I get new mail, it goes di…

I have WHS 2011 and have set up remote web access. I successfully received a <a href="https://XXXX.homeserver.com"> https://XXXX.homeserver.com</a> address. I remember when signing up with Mircosoft for the address a statement that they would issue a certificate for the website. now when after login, I get a certificate error message that the cert is missmatched. ignoring the warning I can access the site. looking at the cert, it is issued by GoDaddy, the expire date is 2017. I tried to install it, that made no difference. This is both from a Win7 client computer with IE 8 at home inside the lan, and from a different win7 IE9 client computer from outside …

Installed MSE yesterday and cleaned system. Today I am unable to run Blizzard Launcher for Mists of Pandaria beta. Error msg says MSE might be blocking. How do I change MSE to allow this program to run? I play both Diablo III & Mists of Pandaria (beta) and need all necessary programs to run without interference. I would prefer to not disable my firewall for extended periods of time as this defeats the purpose of having it. I have done all of the suggested steps except disabling my firewall. Exact msg is 'Failed to run a required program (Agent). Wait one minute and try again and if that doesn't work please restart your computer and try again. Please click the…

I am not sure if MSE was on at the time I may have contracted it. I downloaded MSE today and did a full scan. It found some malware and said it would fix. Seemed to go fine. Is my computer likely to be OK, or do I need to do something else? I read that if you download MSE on an infected computer it will make it worse. Is this true. If so is there something I can do on my own. I have little to no $ to spend. I do have start up discs. Will that work or is there something I can do to save my computer without losing everything. If not, can I save photos safely? They are the main thing I don't want to lose. Also, how do I know if I have it or some other virus? …

I have Windows Vista 7 Home Premium; and have noted that for several years ANY update for Silverlight will fail: it will download but not install. I understand that a non Windows vendor installed it, looks like mine done in '05.There is something about part of Silverlight not being digitally signed. My registry of updates shows NOTHING for Silverlight. There is one entry, 'Microsoft Silverlight' in both the Update registry and the Program registry. I cannot uninstall them, even per Microsoft'sIlverlight Home Page about an install and/or uninstall. Been through the web, don't want to spend $ on something I know nothing about. What I was able to to was disable Silverligh…

Asking this question is almost embarrassing for me, but I forgot something that should be obvious to me. I had to reinstall Windows 7 so Explorer (My Documents for example) does not have the Tools/Folder Options drop down menu. I want to show file extensions, plus use Tools/Folder Options for other purposes as well. Ok, you most likely already have guessed my question....where is it? When I open My Documents or My Computer the options available are: My Documents show the following available options: Organize Include in library Share with Burn New folder My Computer has: Organize System properties Unintstall or change a program …

How do I get the "safely remove hardware" icon to stop making it's sounds? It makes the bonk sound that tells you can remove your device. It slows down the PC games and is just plain annoying. I used the Troubleshooter, and checked all the USB options that were listed under my "device drivers" and the message I get says they are enabled and working properly. When it makes its tone, the icon in the tray disappears and then reappears. It doesn't seem to be doing any damage or impacting anything else except the PC games that we play on our computer. Any help is greatly appreciated. View this thread

My laptop stopped working recently when I had to finish a project, so after a visit to a repair people (off-warranty, told me motherboard burned out) I promptly bought another machine. In my country (Latvia) it's almost impossible to buy pre-installed windows OS, so they just sell OEM box together with the computer. On my old machine I had Windows 7 OEM 32-bit, bought together with a laptop. The technician had refused to give me back the sticker with the key, saying he'll sell it to someone else! My questions are: 1) If in this case license key can be re-used for another computer (being OEM and all), I'd like to recover it to use on my old desktop that is running XP n…
