It takes an inordinately long time to download new definitions, then quits with an 'internet connectivity' error message. Yes, I know I should have abandoned MSE long ago but I am overloaded with work at present (this is a good thing) so I am loath to make changes that might cause me grief. Thirdly I still have the Java Update problem that says something along the lines of adminstrator privileges. Fourthly, I cannot logon to TUC (Traffic Usage Checker). This came out of the blue, one day it was fine, next day not and it appears to be a logon problem. The Java issue appeared first, and I'm wondering if the others are a flow-on effect of some sort. There are no other issues apparent, no passwords have been changed and everything else seems OK. Any ideas?? Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: Now I'm getting worried! Trend Micro Housecall throws up exactly the same administrator message as the Java issue. That makes four other issues	Billy T (70)
1398410	2015-04-11 12:10:00	Its all to do with the same thing. Malware of some description has gotten in and changed the policies, which in turn is stopping ANY type of antimalware / Antivirus program from running. I cant test this as I don't have a XP home ( which I assume you have still) normally you would use gpedit, but home editions don't have it. Did find this though - No idea if it works or not, so try at your own risk. Click Start< Run and type secpol.msc and hit enter Select and highlight "Software Restriction Policies." This will show you the options on the right hand side of the screen. Once you have "Software Restriction Policies" highlighted, click on "Actions" at the top of the group policy object editor window. In this menu choose "Delete Software Restriction Policy." An alert window will pop up, asking if you are sure you want to delete all the software restriction policies. Click "Yes."

1398412	2015-04-11 22:24:00	Risky to diagnose anything remotely of course, but as mentioned this type of program blocking is something some malware is known to do. Basically they are written to prevent anything that might detect or remove them from doing so. As well as Wainui and Gary's suggestions I'd be looking at running some other malware scanners also if you can get any to run. Maybe try safemode with networking and run MBAM, NOD32 online, etc. I've been stubbornly sticking to MSE/Defender myself and haven't had any issues but every time these threads come up I consider moving to NOD32. For me the threat of losing everything and starting over is not that bad so I don't worry too much but for some people it would be a major issue and might be worth considering better protection.	dugimodo (138)

1398416	2015-04-11 23:57:00	Hi Billy, being XP Pro does make a defiance :) in the last post, theres a link www.windowsbbs.com in post #6 theres another link -- Direct Link www.ehow.com You need #3&4 Have a read of both the first link tells you how to open gpedit. As mentioned have not tried it as mine don't have any entries in the restriction windows, so cant test it. To your post above -- if polices have changed antivirus software may not find anything, Something has changed them and may have already been removed by other antimalware, but their actions to the polices will stay the same. Edited: Just created some polices to show with Pictures. 1st - no polices 2nd - Polices 3rd- deleting 637063716372	wainuitech (129)
1398417	2015-04-12 05:29:00	OK I found a way to run Hitman Pro at its existing settings and defiunitions etc, but that raised no issues. Secondly, I found Gpedit OK and found that there were no logged restrictions (see screen dump). Something elsle or something deeper is going on here :( Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused:	Billy T (70)
1398418	2015-04-12 06:27:00	Hmmmmm OK you can try resetting the polices, you need to open a cmd and type or copy paste the following instructions. secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose As described windowsitpro.com and nj180degree.net If that doesn't work, take it out back and shoot it :p Edited: if you still have anything relating to CryptoPrevent installed it may pay to remove it, that can be causing problems as well.	wainuitech (129)
