  1. My Windows update was going through its usual updating process when I received an error message saying this security update could not be updated

     

    "Security Update for Microsoft Office XP Web Components (KB947320)"

     

     

    Should I be worried,has anyone else had this? what do i do now !

     

    Any help or comments appreciated !! :blink:

     

    Thats about 8 times now i`ve tried it,I have the little yellow shield,telling me I have updates then express installation,then it says "failed"

    26 failures ! error code 0x80070663, it says its downloaded,but hasn`t finalised !tried microsoft website,(phew what a nightmare) I need Piriform sanity!

  2. Hi not related to any nasty software !

  3. Hi

    Following Rorschach`s safer surfing advice and now up to SysRestore Point,which i`ve downloaded to its own file,(icon of swiss army knife) and ran it making a restore point.How do I use this utility ? in so far as do i regulary run it or just leave it until I need it or advised to run it !

     

    Also I have Avast,which has VRDB ,Virus recovery data base, is this the same thing? or am I safer having the two ?

     

    Advice as always is appreciated

    You`ve just made me realise I need to ask another question!,when updates become availiable.(is it Abu who always find then!)

    do i need to download the file again as per installing it for the first time or is there just an "update"file ?

     

    if you see what i mean !!

    http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

     

    and the page seemed a little unclear in what i should be downloading and applying to my computer,I did`nt want to start downloading and not be sure what changes i`m making to the computer,`im not afraid to say sometimes i`m confused,fluff by name fluff by nature :unsure:

    if anyone could give me a step by step for the host file thingy I would again be grateful

  6. Hazelnut !!

     

    I`ve had a "you haven`t scanned in 5 days"message ! and yes i think your correct Sherlockhazelnut I scanned and then ran CCleaner and the defender log was cleared to a date of 10/7/09 of last scan,not today of 16/7/09.

    I wonder wether its best to leave it un checked in CCleaner or just live with the annoying error message?

    To my utter embarassment I`ve logged on again and the Defender message has stopped !and it has logged my last scan.It was saying you haven`t scanned for three days even though I had.I`ll wait and see if it does`nt log when i scan and after three days it might message me again,But for the moment i think its behaving itself,I do appreciate your reply hazelnut :wub:

  8. Hi Guys

     

    I`m getting a message on my windows defender to say I haven`t scanned in "somemany"days.(I have it set to scan daily) ,when I react to the message and scan,nothing is found,but when i log back on again its says I havent scanned in somany days again !!

    I`ve looked at the website but cant` find anything that relates to defender amnesia,have windows XP and my version of defender is 1.61.1497.0

     

    any help will appreciated !!

  9. Hi Guys

    I wonder if anyone can give advice on this,I`m unable to delete an email in my sent folder,using Outlook Express 6,it has an attachment a pps(3.85kb)that may now be corrupted in that it wo`nt open.I`m getting error messages of "cannot delete email and "there`s not enough memory"I have emails in my sent folder i want to keep but get rid of this one.I`ve checked CCleaner for any registery issues and non are reported.I`ve googled this problem and there`s a few replies to download Regcure but i`m dubious about doing this.I would appreciate any sound honest and safe ideas

    Many Thanks
