Hello: I am using Vista and Office 2007. We have an Access database with hyperlinks to documents on our network. One user cannot open these links but others logged onto the same computer can. The user gets the standard message "Some files can contain viruses or other wise be harmful to your computer". Would you like to open this file? When the user clicks "OK" they get the message "Cannot...

I uninstalled AVG Free and installed Zone Suite 7.1 However, Security Centre is still reporting that AVG Free is still installed! So according to Security Centre I have two (2) anti-virus installed when AVG Free has been successfully uninstalled. This cannot be secure if Security Centre thinks an anti-virus program is still installed when it has been uninstalled...

My home PC is preloaded with Windows Vista Home Basic edition (32-bit) and has AVG Antivirus Free v7.5.485 installed. I am puzzled by the recent pop-up message after the startup of my PC. It is reported that "AVG Antivirus is turned off. Click here to fix the notification", although the AVG icon has well displayed on the notification area (system tray). Meanwhile, as suggested by a...

I have windows Vista. I visited HGTV and clicked on a blog. The jpeg pictures showed up in my picture gallary and appear on my desktop google bar and in the picture gallary. I have deleted them a number of times and deleted them "permantely" from the recycle bin. I've run Windows Defender, Windows Live One care, Pit stop, and Spybot. They don't show as cookies or a virus but they just...

On a new PC with preinstalled Vista Home Premium, I tried to install the password recovery tool Revelationv2 from www.snadboy.com. It failed with the error of not recognizing some helper dll. Then I tried to copy the main revelation.exe from a usb stick to the desktop. But it refuses since I "do not have the right to do so". However, that does not happen with other exe files. I even cannot look...

PLEASE HELP!!! I'm sitting by a computer at work, where I am the principal user, but others have access to the computer as well (different logins on the office network). To stop people from getting access to my files, I changed the security settings so the one could read and write the files only if they are logged in with my name and password. Guess what! Now I can't access my own files...

After reading the posts about Norton 2008 products causing problems with Vista Premium, I was reading about Windows OneCare an Defender in Vista. Are these two programs enough to protect my New Desktop with Vista Premium and AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+?? I will load load Adware SE Plus for spyware if that will not cause problems. Norton Internet Suite 2008 has a program called Idenity Id that...

I purchased Coffee Cup HTML Editor (coffeecup.com) 2 days ago. The incentive to this purchase was the Visual Editor. I cant use it because of this Security Update. I have spent hours trying to figure this out. Coffee Cup has not responded to my call or e-mail and they are closed on weekends. The only solutions I can find is for XP. The steps are not the same as Vista and cannot be applied...

I recently purchased the full version AVG and it works great but Vista does not recognize that I have a anti-virus running. What do I need to do? I have tried fixing it in the command prompt with winmgmt/salvagerepository and winmgmt/ verifyrepository but they both tell my access denied but I am the admin on the comp so it should not do that! is there any other way to fix this? It is driving...

I'm a new Vista user and I'm trying to get used to it. I fear I might have hosed something. I must have installed something bad and was getting BSODs early in the boot process. I had to do a system restore to yesterday and the BSODs appear to be gone. I thought (not 100% sure) that previously when I was running as a standard user, then when I went into regedit, I got a couple of UAC popups...
