How do you restart an installer?
Answer by Techsupport
The reboot prompts shown sometimes by Windows Installer during or after an installation are controlled by the REBOOT property. By using a checkbox on the last dialog of the installation this property can be configured to give the user control over these prompts.
In order to add a "restart machine" functionality to your installation package, you can follow these steps:
=> go to the Install Parameters page and set the "Reboot Prompts" combo to Suppress all reboots and reboot prompts
=> go to the Dialogs page and add a checkbox on "ExitDialog"
=> in the Properties pane of the checkbox set the "Text" field to Restart machine
=> set the "Property Name" field to REBOOT
=> set the "Value" field to Force
The reverse logic can be used to reboot the machine by default:
=> go to the Install Parameters page and set the "Reboot Prompts" combo to Force reboot after install
=> go to the Dialogs page and add a checkbox on "ExitDialog"
=> in the Properties pane of the checkbox set the "Text" field to Do not restart the machine
=> set the "Property Name" field to REBOOT
=> set the "Value" field to ReallySupress
The REBOOT property
The possible values of the REBOOT property are:
=> Force - the installation will always prompt for a reboot after it is completed. If the installation is silent the machine will be automatically restarted at the end of the installation.
=> Suppress - the installation will not prompt for a reboot after it is completed, even if one is required. However, this option does not affect the reboot prompts which may appear during the installation.
=> ReallySuppress - the installation will not prompt for a reboot while it is running or after it is completed (even if one is required).
These values can be used to control the reboot prompts during or after the installation is completed. For example, you can use a radio button group with two radio buttons:
=> "Restart the machine" - this radio button has the "Value" field set to Force
=> "Do not restart the machine" this radio button has the "Value" field set to ReallySuppress

How do you remove vista defender pro malware?
Vista Defender Pro is a fake software. It tries to gouge you by asking for a paid upgrade but the only thing you can expect after paying are more malware. You will notice that your computer seem slow when performing tasks and your free disk space will only have a few megabytes of storage left. These are just a few of the symptoms of an infection by a rogue anti-spyware app such as Vista Defender Pro.
You can remove Vista Defender Pro malware by running a scan on your system. Once an infection is detected, you can delete it automatically. No need to resort to reformatting or service fees. Check theattached link for a detailed removal instructions.
What is the purpose of attach file in email?
The purpose is that the file goes along with the email, with or without text on it.
You can send audio, video, slide-show, pictures, documents, since the size doesn't surpass the limit allowed by the server.
First off you should never run more than one virus program at a time. Second a Trojan is not nessarily a virus. It can just be Spyware. I would suggest you download, update, and run a good Antispyware program such as Adaware 7.0, Spybot Search & Destroy, or Microsoft Antispyware. All are a free download.
(I'm not sure if you have already taken care of the problem, whomever posted this, but it could help other people with the same problem...)
clay has an incredibly good point. see, anti-virus programs, when installed, try to claim dominance over looking at your files. you have three of them trying to do the same job at the same time... they could be the things slowing your computer in the first place. you need to think about which one you think is the one that works best with the most virus definition updates and leave it alone. then, go and disable the others. (at least disable them. you can keep them if you really feel you need them, but disabling will keep them from running and overlapping each other. enable another in case of emergency or suspicion only AFTER disabling the running one.)
about the Trojan, it should be picked up either by your anti-virus program (i prefer AVG Free over any other anti-virus). if it isn't, i'd suggest "Spybot: Search and Destroy" or "Ad-Aware SE Personal". both of these are free downloads at http://download.com . (just search for them using their page.)
if you even THINK there's a Trojan on your computer, when you install either of these anti-malware programs, do NOT make a restore file! run them once each, and get rid of everything they mark as bad. restart your computer, and do it all over again. restart it a second time, and NOW make your restore file. the last thing you need is to make a backup of your computer and in a time of crisis, use it and accidentally reinstall a Trojan.
make sure you keep updating these things. i'd suggest doing each once a week at least. also, to keep your computer running quickly, use "Disk Defragmenter" (a windows utility; it's in the start menu ( start -> programs -> accessories -> system tools)) at least twice a month. ^___^
good luck!

What can you do to get relief from small moles that keep popping up on your face?
These are usually due to hormone changes in your body. Go to your doctor and have them removed. I know many of my girlfriends have had to have several small (even clusters of small moles) removed because it doesn't look very attractive and often can make the woman appear or feel older than she is.
What are the possible actions of a computer virus?
When you get a computer virus your computer may get random pop-ups trying to make you download something or sell something to you. It can also spread itself across your P.C files and make it harder for you to remove it. If you do not have anti-virus software and are an inexperienced online user you should really get an anti-virus or just be more carful of what sites you go on.
How do you find the most up to date computer viruses and threat and attacks?
Some of the best sources for up to date information on computer viruses and threats are the web sites for McAfee and Symantec. You can also get current information from the Mitre CVE site. The US-CERT site is probably the most comprehensive.
The links are added as "related links" below.
Does Avast conflict with Ashampoo firewall?
Yes, in my experience it does. What happens is that the avast! Web Shield (process ashWebSv.exe) locks up, as does Ashampoo's process firewall.exe, with CPU usage at 100%. Solutions: a) replace Ashampoo firewall with another free firewall, such as ZoneAlarm or PCTools Free Firewall; b) use Windows Firewall (not such a bad suggestion if you're already behind a hardware router firewall); c) replace avast! with another free antivirus, such as AVG Free or Avira AntiVir PE Classic. Personally, I find the extra real-time protection available in avast! to be worth the trouble of changing to, and 'training' a different fireewall.
Is Microsoft office 2007 blue edition a virus?
No. it is, however, warez, and thus illegal to download. Many reseedings of this software may be infected with viruses, but the package was originally released by a "legitimate" cracker group.
Can you get a virus on your phone?
Well, it is possible for a phone to get one, however, only about two types of phones ever got one. So, i'd say they're a rare sight to come across. if you wish to learn more then use your best friend ever, Google! :)
If you are going to take it some where to get it fixed, remember NOT to say that it may have a virus because I don't think they are covered in insurances. Just say you woke up and it was liek the way you see it now. That way you , they can figure out what's wrong and as long as you have insurance, possible cover a replacement.
On your computer screen itself, there should be a menu button. Click on that, and go to positioning, where you can move your screen horizontal or vertical. Try that. and if not, find a way to zoom your computer screen .
The scenario that seems most common is a manufacturer that pre-installs Windows XP for you and then does not give you a CD to go with it. I think this is a bad practice but I understand that it may save the manufacturer and ultimately you a little bit of money.
Hopefully what that manufacturer has done is copy the Windows XP CD-ROM image to your hard disk. Hard disks are so big these days that doing so takes up very little room and has some advantages I'll talk about in a second.
To find out if the CD-ROM image is on your machine, search for a folder named I386. There may be several but the one we care about will contain close to 7,000 files, two of which will be winnt.exe and winnt32.exe. The I386 directory is typically one of the top-level directories on the distribution CD-ROM but most importantly it is the directory that contains the distributed copy of Windows XP. Winnt.exe and winnt32.exe are the DOS and protected mode setup programs, respectively. (You'd only need those if you were planning to re-install Windows XP from scratch - I use them here as an easy way to indentify that we have the right directory.)
So now that you know you have the CD-ROM image, what if some later installation asks for the CD-ROM?
Not to worry, it's actually pretty simple. Typically the "Insert CD" message has only an OK and Cancel button. Press OK, allowing it to fail. The next dialog will typically ask you to provide the location of the CD-ROM; just type in the full path of the I386 directory you discovered above.
That's it. But it gets better.
Windows remembers. Now that you've told Windows where your installation CD image is it'll remember that. The next time you're in a situation that might require your installation CD Windows will look there first; if it finds what it needs then it won't bother to ask you for it.
All this information was found on http://ask-Leo.com/i_dont_have_an_installation_cd_for_windows_xp_what_if_i_need_one.HTML and is not my work. I take no credit for it.
From my own personal experience you could always borrow a friends install disk or go down to a custom computer shop as they usually have spare disks lying around (this is how i got my disk when i lost it). Also im pretty sure that if you called Microsoft and requested a replacement CD they would mail it (maybe with a small fee) but seeing as yourusing your old key it would be fairly cheap. Hope that helped.
