Sorry I wasn’t clear with the post let me start over, before I learned of MSE I was using Kaspersky on my Win7 machine. I uninstalled Kaspersky with Revo Uninstaller and installed MSE. It’s been awhile since I did this, suddenly the action center says MSE needs to be turned on and did so, but now the message is there every time the computer is first fired up. I am set up as the administrator, I thought that meant I am the owner, am I missing something, please advise.

I uninstalled it and did a reinstall ok now

What are you looking to clean?

Joe

system cleaner

Been using it for years Highly recommend

If you only have one or two systems and they aren’t tricked out with 4 or more cores and at least 4 gigs of RAM, etc. etc., and are willing to put up with the performance hit if you can’t move to a SSD…not terribly practical.

In my situation of running several systems that can handle a VM all the time and doing everything needed to get performance out of a VM…oh my, some tremendous advantages in the form of VM replication to other systems, every copy is a backup so no imaging required, greater system resource utilization, flexibility to never need dual or triple boot (just use the OS you want when you want). Those are four of the biggies I can think of right off the top.

Thank you, that’s the answer, I have one system and was wondering if it would be a load on the computer even with a dual core, 3g ram.

It all depends on what the home user wants to do.

Joe

you’re right, the only reason I can of is to use as another machine for trying new apps, thanks for your reply

Port 80 is indeed the standard port that web servers use to serve up http requests.

To check if Port 80 active do the following:

Open a command prompt and type “netstat -anop TCP” without the quotes.

This will list all the open TCP ports on your system. There will probably be lots, but don’t worry, many are used by Windows or by other software to communicate to other modules. Scroll up the list, looking at the second column on the left. You are looking for an IP address ending in :80 (the TCP/IP port number). If you find that, port 80 is open and you see anything other than 0.0.0.0 to the right of the port 80 entry, something or somebody is connected to it.

It is very rare for residential systems to open it and in almost every circumstance requires manual actions to do so – you would almost certainly know if you had opened it.

Thank you, I didn’t see anything you mentioned, so I assume I’m ok. I don’t know how reliable that test is.

Unistalled V6, installed V5, working ok, thanks for your replies

Two words, incredibly HOT!

If you have a Hotmail, Windows Live, or MSN email account you can save the PPT to skydrive and use the Powerpoint Office Web App to view the PPT file.

Or at a minimum you need the Powerpoint Viewer.

Joe

I didn’t want to download the viewer because I’ll get office updates, I don’t use office. I use ThunderBird mail client

The new frimware is working, no need to reboot the router and it hasn’t drop the line all day

I found a frimware update and installed it, hope it helps, a lot of good suggestions thanks to all

It sounds like the router may be fried. Do you want to have wireless capability?

If not you can purchase a wired only router very inexpensively….

I don’t need wireless I have one system now, just wanted extra firewall, it works I need to reset it to get online, once I’m online I’m good

Me and my big mouth it’s messing up again, well at lest I can unplug it and plug it in again to make it work, I like the having the extra firewall when online
