Thanks. I did a cmd "Net stop wuauserv" but I still get the same error.
Thanks for the the individual msu files. I get an error when I attempt to open: 0x80070005 Installer encountered an error : access is denied...
Has Linux Mint solved their security issues?
Who needs 20 skins... I'm skipping this upgrade ^^
W10 always updates without any delays whatsoever. But W7 takes <1 hour just to check if there if are updates available (patch Tuesdays). If there...
Thank you Roger_m for input. I've looked for the offending searchui in the task manager but it's not active. It's simply not there, it failed...
Why should I spend time & efforts doing that when Microsoft clearly collects all necessary bug related data from us to find and address the...
At work we use W10. At home I refuse W10. When there are no more security patches for W7 I will migrate to Linux or BSD.
I use a restricted account + UAC max. I don't feel restricted in any way whatsoever. I actually feel free to use my computer without worrying too...
I couldn't agree more. The issue has been posted at Wilders I think, it being a security forum and all but it doesn't hurt to remind people that...
I will use Windows 7 until it expires. After that, I'll migrate to Linux (again). I'm using Windows 10 at work and I feel the system is...
No one in their right mind would claim a certain "security feature x" is bulletproof and is 100% secure. It's all about layered security,...
Ok, that would be cumbersome. You mind my asking; are you a software tester? Perhaps not the optimal solution but if I were in your shoes I'd...
I think unintended FUD, derived and by cherry picking single sentences from Microsoft's own longish and technical explanation on what UAC is and...
Ok. Again, the "security bug" mentioned in the article is highly dependant don how you configure UAC. And the rest of the system. When I read...
So Sourceforge is "safe" nowadays? Some binaries are not readily available at dev's site and they often link directly to SF.
I think layered security is the best approach. One day HIPS may fail (or your judgement : to allow or not allow) and UAC could save your day.
Oh, IMO it is. It all depends on how you configure it. Also UAC prompts never nag me because when I see those, I've triggered them on purpose, e.g...
Agree. Also I don't understand why some people compare UAC with HIPS and then say UAC sucks because it doesn't work like his/her HIPS.
Dev site, Fosshub.
Totally agree. Even for a security enthusiast, those messages do not readily make any sense. UAC on the other hand does give you an easy and...
Always UAC max and also require ctrl+shift-del sequence + admin password. I see UAC prompts rarely. Only when I install software - which is very...
The remnant scanner still detects those entries as malicious. I'm curious to know when the detection alert for those entries were added?
From the link : "security bugs automatically become publicly visible 14 weeks after they are fixed" So it's virtually impossible to know if a...
By the way - suppose there is a way to disable the debugging feature for increased security? Like, I can't simply delete all the entries shown...
Separate names with a comma.
