I need help please! I just installed the "Shield Deluxe" version of Kaspersky on my vista laptop because Trend Micro didn't work well. Now, Vista does not recognize the fact that it's loaded and is giving me FITS! Blue screens, stalls, video issues . . . the lot. Is there a fix for this? I mean, Kaspersky is one of the recommended programs so why isn't it being recognized?

(cross-post added to Vista Security) "markh" wrote in message ... Why can't IE display them? Is it a security setting? Might be. Can you open them by themselves, e.g. with no other tabs? Try: Run... iexplore.exe -nohome W:\folder\file.html

Okay; I have vista 64 bit home premium. I have disabled UAC because I find it to be highly annoying. Another thing I find highly annoying is; no matter how much I try to stop it; vista always seems to think I am a moron and sets EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY FILES to read only. Now I heard if you disable security center/windows defender you can un-readonly everything. I tried that; didnt work; yes...

I noticed that if you click on the bottom where it says Protected Mode: On, a window will pop up and you can uncheck the enable protected mode. Once I did that all issues were gone for me.

What is the best anti-malware solution for Vista ? Viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, hijacks, etc.

Is there any way to change the time in Vista Business without admin rights? This seems like such a no brainer that users will need to change/correct their clocks from time to time in addition to having auto scripts set the time at login. But with this admin rights restriction, I would have to give users admin rights or an admin user account info JUST to change the time? Sounds like a...

I found a malicious task planted in the Task Scheduler of Vista Home Premium. This task is designed to create an illusion the computer is infected with a virus. Is there any way I can verify the event that originally activated the trigger and set the task in motion? I'm using a reverse engineered OEM version of Vista, not genuine Microsoft Vista.
