Hi SIW2

Thanks for the advice. I am giving SP1 a serious thought.
The problem with my PC now is the Explorer.
It very easily freezes and gets glazed over and says "Explorer is not
responding". It was not like this before, but I am not sure
if it was anything to do with the Windows Dedender giving
me this "Error 0x800106" sign. (In fact, Security says Defender
is on and working, but when I click the icon or every time
I restart it tells me about the error)

Do you think SP1 might solve this problem?

BTW, I could not install the BK939.... that MowGreen suggested.
It came back saying "it does not apply to your PC"

Problem solved! Well, sort of.

Dear SIW2

Im happy to tell you I got rid of the error message.
I installed this update that finishes with 099
(consequently i joined something called Spynet club,
considering the time i wasted solving this error problem
it was a hef entrance fee, but im glad now).

Thank you very much for your help!

However, this problem with the Explorer persists.
So, do you think SP1 helps this crash problem??

Hiya

I always have the windows Defender and Wall on naturally.
But I also have this software called Spyware Terminator
which I chose randamly by googling. It works but I have no
idea how or if it is effective. I have never read a review
on this software. One thing I dont like about this software
is the full scan takes 3 hours to complete. I have never got
virus if I trust what all those softwares say. Do you think I should
get
something else to defend my PC?

Hi tomo,

Don't know much about Spyware Terminator , but I wouldn't have the
patience for such a long scan.

You really need an antivirus app. Avast free home edition is liked by a
lot of members here, you might try that instead. It helps guard against
malware and rootkits too. Read the help section to set it up how you
want.

You probably don't need the Vrdbs function, if so, right click the ball
on the left in the notification area, and select disable , then merge
with main icon.

'FREE antivirus software for Windows with anti-spyware - avast! Home
Edition' (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html)

Ccleaner is another free app. that helps reduce the clutter on your pc
and remove unpleasant cookies - again check out the help file to set up
how you want ( uncheck the Windows Defender option under the
Applications tab )

'CCleaner - Downloading Slim...'
(http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds/downloading-slim)

I use McAfee site Advisor, which attaches to your web browser and warns
you if it thinks a site is dangerous - it's free from

'Protection from Adware, Spam, Viruses, Online Scams | McAfee
SiteAdvisor' (http://www.siteadvisor.com/)

You might also try The Vista Firewall Control , free from

'Vista Firewall Control : Sphinx Software'
(http://www.sphinx-soft.com/Vista/order.html)

Once it is trained , it provides some protection against outbound
connections, and also reduced my start up time by a few seconds.

Hope this helps

SIW2


If you suspect something may have got past Avast and Defender, then
scan with this free app. 'Malwarebytes.org'
(http://www.malwarebytes.org)
