I have tried the fix it tool that tells me windows update components need to be prepared and it tells me that it fixed it each time I have used it. This does not fix the problem. I also chose the repair option for the .net V4 client but this did not fix the issue either. I am running vista home premium 32 bit os. Thank you in advance for any assistance. 4 View this thread

I want to alert you that i have been receiving at least 15 phone calls a week from someone posing as a tech from your technical dept. trying to tell me that i have serious problems on my computer and i need to give him access to my computer so he can resolve the issues on my computer so i won't lose all the data on my computer. No matter how many times i've told him i don't want him calling me anymore he still call s 2 and 3 times a day.

My laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ61 and I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit service pack 2. I've had it for over two years. I turned it on today and it's asking me to activate Windows. I have no idea why it's doing this. It is a legitimate copy bought and activated two years ago.When I go to Control PanelSystem and MaintenanceSystem, under the Windows Activation section I have the message:"You must activate today. Activate Windows now"Product ID: XXXXX-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXX "Change product key"Apparently my product key is invalid, but as I've mentioned, I've been using it for nearly two years.This is an urgent issue as I'm currently abroad and require my laptop to organize fl…

GW laptop; Win7 Home Prem, 64 bit. Been running MSE a long time with no issues (except it occasionally misses something coming in, but they all do). Last week it turned orange, which it's done in the past: 'you haven't run MSE in a long time and your system is potentially unprotected'. I updated the definitions and ran a full on C drive where all the programs are. Nope, still orange, and it did complete. Next day I updated again and ran a complete on D and E which are just storage partitions. Still orange. Never done this before. I used to be able to turn it back green by just running a complete on one major directory, like Windows. Any ideas? (and I did a Restart). …

Hello, Even though a periodic "Full Scan" is essential, since it takes a significant amount of time, many a times a scheduled scan is aborted midway, leaving the system a bit vulnerable... 1. To optimize the scan time, I suggest that the before starting a scan, the application indicate the size of standard temporary files and give an option to delete the same. I believe it will help to integrate this check into the application. 2. Is it an incremental scanner? I mean, if a set of scanned files/ folders is not modified later on, does it skip them in the next run or maybe check them only for the updated items in the database? Best Regards, …
