    W10 Defender blocking installation of uTorrent

    If you're positive it's not infected, turn off "Real Time Protection" to install." Done that, Still doesn't install. Bizarrely when I hit the uTorrent install box I get a msg 'G5X. The device has either stopped responding or been disconnected' (G5X is my camera which is NOT connected) and, to...

    W10 Defender blocking installation of uTorrent

    I have a legacy edition of uTorrent installer on my PC which I'm trying to run under Windows 10 but Defender blocks it. I'm not convinced malware is the problem. It installed uTorrent under Vista & this ran without problems for many years. In Defender security centre =>Firewall and network...

    Outlook 2007 no longer works with gmail

    Hi pjw001 Thanx for the reply. I also cannot find "manage third party access" in my gmail account. Perhaps google removed it cos users use it to frustrate google's new security requirements (which I suspect are more to protect google than users from the consequences of unauthorised mail...

    Problem importing newsgroup messages to Windows Mail

    Chris My take was that it's an email client issue so this seemed an appropriate forum. I'll happy to move to another but that's for the admins. It's frustrating that Windows Mail seems to have no easy working means to restore backup msgs, .eml or .nws, so I guess I'll just have to burn time...

    Problem importing newsgroup messages to Windows Mail

    Not sure if my WM is v6 or 7. (thought it was v7 but Help uselessly states "microsoft windows. Version 6.0.6000 . . .) I've done an OS and WM reinstall and in WM I create message accounts for email and newsgroups. I can't get import to work so I close WM and copy the .eml from backup to WM...

    A Warning: DON'T LET EMOTION SUSPEND CREDIBILITY.

    On 3/12/15 I received a circ. mail+attachment purporting to be from someone I know who has a bad pregnancy. I held my breath and bugged the mail, praying it announced a successful birth. BIG MISTAKE !!. It contained a script which downloaded a ransomware exe which encrypted many thousands of...

    Importing newsgroups posts into Windows Mail

    Folks I'm running Vistax64 Home Prem. with Windows Mail as the email client. Prior to a system reinstall I exported my personal and newsgroups mail to a remote backup. On reinstalling Windows Mail I imported the backedup personal mail/newsgroups. Instead of placing the imported mail and...

    Infection by nasty malware

    Hi Mako "You really need to start your own thread" Definately "I got it a month ago and didnt pay much attention to it, since MBAM didnt detect anything" Antivirus s/w does not pick up everything and imo should not be relied on. kjv advises a reinstall. This is the hairy chested solution ...

    Running WinMail as email cleint under Windows 7, 64 Bit

    Quick Update I'm got attachments working via the Insert/File Attachment menu. This menu option worked after perusing all the tools options and fiddling with them, particularly the security options. Embarassingly I can't determine by reversing the changes, as I recall making them, which option...

    Running WinMail as email cleint under Windows 7, 64 Bit

    Folks Under Vistax64 I ran Winmail.exe 6.0.6001.18000 AND WAS HAPPY. Then I upgraded to W7x64, which ships (MS allege) without an email client !. But Taskman revealed a non functional copy of Winmail.exe (Version 6.1.7600.16385) running and a dir search revealed ~/Windows Mail/~ Forums told...

    Infection by nasty malware

    Hi kjv1611 "you have a recovery partition" Yes, but the CD with my PC allowed a complete reinstall of Vista x64 which I've done. Thankfully the malware no longer wakes my PC from sleep in the early hours or "phones home". I'd liked to have done more investigating but not enought time. It...

    Infection by nasty malware

    Hi goombawaho "reload windows " Only in extremis, and I'm not sure I'm there yet . . . The OS disk with my PC is ominously marked "External Recovery" I believe it allows a fresh install but this is sure to be pain, f'instance cos. of driver issues. OK. A quick rap up on this bug In...

    Infection by nasty malware

    Hi goombawahoo "Since then I've had no browser redirections". I spoke too soon. My system was OK for 24 hours but Saturday 15:12 I got redirected again. Taskman revealed: 184416 ukcya.exe MD5 : 5c6d1e89b22aaca6b02f78f5f9c2d1ea SHA1 : d92833255626304b05f8a68302805c6fe6374463 SHA256...

    Infection by nasty malware

    Hi Goombawho Thanx for the help. I didn't employ CCleaner as it is listed as being a system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool and this was unneccessary in my case. I did use Kapersky's TDSSKiller and this removed a root kit. Since then I've had no browser redirections. Thanx again. For...

    Infection by nasty malware

    Folks Over the past few weeks my PC has been repeatedly infected with a very nasty piece of malware, the purpose of which seems to be to redirect web searches to ad. sites, particularly for Groupon. It creates hidden dirs in the root dir. and reg. keys to run exes located in user/../temp dirs...

    Disable mouse click.

    Can't you add a WndProc() function to the Form to catch windows messages to it and to filter out those which are mouse clicks to the box ?

    Speed optimisation in C++ Builder 2009

    Hi Bomi Thanx for the advice. I tried using fastmath.h for sqrt & arctan functions. I set (in CB2007) advanced compilation/fastfloating point & optimisations/'for speed' & general compilation/'use register variables'. I didn't see any speed increase in a complicated routine iterating ldouble...

    Speed optimisation in C++ Builder 2009

    Hi Bomi I am doing something very similar to you (complex number calulations) in CB2007 and I get 20-60ms (presumably variations are due to OS time slicing) for 12800 interations using math.hpp & compiling for debug (no fastmath) on an Intel dual core T7700. Could your CBuilder FPU options...
