Allowing Program changes

10. April 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

Without any detectable provocation on my part, every time I try to log onto Widows Live Mail,  my computer suddenly started dimming and showing a box saying: “Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer?” The program name listed is Windows Live Mail and Messenger. The verified publisher listed is Microsoft Corporation. The file origin is the “Hard drive on this computer.” Despite repeated attempts at correcting the problem myself, I still get the same message box. I’ve been messing with this problem for several months now. If I answer "Yes," I'm let into my mail. If I answer "No," I'm left on my desktop.

My Windows 7 was pre-installed on my HP computer which I bought in October 2012. When I contact HP, they tell me I need to go to Microsoft for help. Contacting Microsoft, they tell me to call HP. April 3 was the only help I received came from a pay Microsoft site. But our attempts at solving the problem were fruitless unless I pay for further help. $169 seemed a bit steep for help with an annoyance.

The only thing that works is if I turn off my User Account control settings. But that stops me from downloading some programs or leaves me vulnerable to other problems. So I jus leave it on and put up with the hassle.

I have a HOTMAIL account and EVERY time I try to send an email a window pops up saying: A WEB SITE WANTS TO OPEN WEB CONTENT USING

02. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

THIS WEB PROGRAM ON YOUR COMPUTER.   That statment is in yellow, then in the main content of the message it says: the program will open outside of protective mode.  Internet Explorer's PROTECTED MODE helps to protect your computer.  If you do not trust this program, do not open the program.

NAME:  Silverlight.Configuration.exe

PUBLISHER:  Microsoft Corporation

 

then it asks if I want to allow or not allow - except my screen is COMPLETELY frozen.  I can't delete, check the allow or do not allow, nothing.  I have to shut my computer down to get out of the hotmail system.  Do I have some kind of virus?  What can I do to get this fixed?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

is this real
