Avast should be fine. Its all I run as well. Just keep java and flash up to date

As for the updates still having trouble, have you done a repair install on vista yet?

Shane

No i haven't done a vista repair, do i need a disc?

Shane · « **Reply #54 on:** January 04, 2013, 02:49:41 pm »

Yes you will need a disk of vista with what ever service pack you have installed. Do you have service pack 2 installed?

Hi Shane i managed to fix it last night with the code above, but with the "text" removed from the command prompt.

Can i disable updates in ALL IN ONE REPAIR, it seems to be only after running the program? This has only been happening on the last 3 versions.

Sorry i am using Free Advast, so is it still ok to run on it's own or do you think leave Malwarebytes on, both low resource machines?

Thanks again

Shane · « **Reply #56 on:** January 04, 2013, 06:08:33 pm »

What do you mean disable updates in my windows repair? The program doesnt have any updates that it does

Shane

Oscar · « **Reply #57 on:** January 04, 2013, 06:49:01 pm »

Sorry i just wondered if it did.

I wasn't 100% clear when i mentioned about Free Advast only or is it best to have Malwarebytes as well?

Thanks again

Shane · « **Reply #58 on:** January 05, 2013, 02:19:33 pm »

I use free avast and only run malwarebytes when I need it.

Shane

Malwarebytes don't take up any resouces for a low power/resource computer?

Shane · « **Reply #60 on:** January 05, 2013, 04:04:49 pm »

I dont use the auto protect with malwarebytes. I only run it manually when I need to. Only scanner running at all times for me is the free version of Avast

Thanks Shane

I just use the FREE Malwarebytes, which is manual isn't it?

Does FREE Avast default to scanner running at all times?

ALL ONE RERPAIRS:
With the Vista machine to run this takes about 20-30 minutes
With the XP machine it takes about 3 hours, sometimes it stalls and ending up re running

Is this normal?

Oscar · « **Reply #62 on:** January 06, 2013, 01:35:05 am »

Hi Shane i have just started the computer and i got a prompt (box) on the desktop saying something like svchost couldn't be written would you like to terminate the program or debug.

The computer became very unresponsive (i tried to do a print screen).

I have rebooted after choosing the terminate option and all is ok, so far.

What could be this?

Thank you very much for your help.

As a personal opinion what do you think of Windows 8?

Shane · « **Reply #63 on:** January 06, 2013, 12:22:24 pm »

Windows 8 is ok, I refuse to use the tile screen thought.

This thread has pushed past 5 pages! lol

There is no need to run the Windows repair this often. You only want to run it when something is broken. It is a repair tool not a maintenance tool

Thanks Shane

Sorry about the length tf the thread, I will keep this short.

1. I just use the FREE Malwarebytes, which is manual isn't it, so doesn't take as much reosources?

2. Does FREE Avast default to scanner running at all times?

3. ALL ONE RERPAIRS:
With the Vista machine to run this takes about 20-30 minutes
With the XP machine it takes about 3 hours, sometimes it stalls and ending up re running

Is this normal?

It only takes resources when you run it, as long as it isnt running in the background. Any program running takes resources. The amount of resources is different for every program.

Yes just like any other Antivirus.

Depends what repair is taking so long. If the system is a lot slower then it could take a while.

Hi Shane thank you very much.

How do i find out if Malwarebytes is running in the back ground?

Thanks again

Shane · « **Reply #67 on:** January 07, 2013, 02:37:21 pm »

There would be a try icon if you have the demo of the real scanner. Otherwise your good

That would be great, i was holding back running the Repair on the Vista machine because of this, i know you have said that the repair doesn't do anything for updates but has happened x 3 times on reboot, maybe bad timing?

Something else with the XP machine when going from window to window it is very slow changing e.g. Explorer to Outlook (bottom left corner, beside START.

Thanks again
