You know I've never really had a problem with MSE and it seems to run ok, But after seeing the news about the so called Flame Virus I was just wondering with the latest updates to MSE if Microsoft had addressed that issue...not that i think any "Cyber-Spys" are interested in my laptop!

Problem with Slipstream SP1 with office 2010
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 92 views
I slipstream SP1 with office 2010, but after installing office, SP1 does not install at the same time, and I end by installing it manually! I did the same thing with office 2007 in the past and I did not have any problem. The only difference is that with office 2007, the Updates folder was empty to begin with, but here in office 2010 this folder is not empty. Should I first make it empty and then add the extracted files of SP1? Can anybody help? <span style="line-height:115%; font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size:11pt">I am using Windows 7 Home Premium just in case.<span> </span></span> View this thread

I got a phone call from a representative of this company saying that they were contracted by windows to do support and my computer was at risk. He said he had my license key to my computer from windows and wanted remote access to clean up the threats on my machine. I refused to provide access, but would like to know what the status of this comnpany is. Do they do work for microsoft? Are they legitimate? He asked questions about how the computer was used and what my antivirus program was. He gave me an address in Albany New York and a phone number to call back on, but I won't deal with someone calling me out of the blue without more information. …

I am trying to delete a "Live OneCare Backup" from my external hard drive. The file was created by a PC using XP Media Center 2005, SP2, or possibly SP3. I am accessing that external hard drive using my laptop with Win 7 Pro (64 bit). Everytime I try removing the file, an "Access Denied" error appears. Alternatively, I get a message that says "You need Administrator Priveleges, etc." I have tried: 1) changing the file permissions. I get no error message, but the file still won't delete. 2) I have tried the instructions in MS Article ID: 943904 "How to delete a Windows Live OneCare Backup file," and that didn't work. Below, is a copy of the command-line w…

remove secondary plex option at boot
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 93 views
My computer used to be configured for RAID 1. Since this was constant resynching, I removed the RAID feature and used the second drive as a backup drive instead (a backup is actually more suited to my needs). The problem is, when I start up my machine, the bootloader still gives me the option for "Windows 7 - Secondary Plex", even though there isn't one. How can I remove this without harming my primary disk? View the thread

My security essentials was not running today. After checking this forum, I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it. After a few hours, I got a message that said I needed to reboot to complete "a clean". Tried to reboot, and windows wouldn't start. Finally did a system restore to an earlier time today and now Security Essentials won't start NOR will it let me reinstall it (says it is already installed) or remove it (says that files are missing). any help would be greatly appreciated.
