* Examining a Malware-bearing Email (Trojan email)
This week, I thought I’d take a different turn with the first article — and look at one of the nasty emails that arrived this week. No, not one of those emails, one of the emails that brought malware along with it. Of course, let’s see what they’re trying to do to me (and to you, if you get these, too).

* Home Networking — Wired and Wireless Connections
For most home networks, we will want to set up both wired and wireless connections. We can use a wireless router to do this, or, if we need more wired ports, we can use a wired and a wireless router — which will greatly increase our options…

O-Yea a guy lost his paper clip for PPS in Out look. I can;t find any where.

Concerning not being able to install software. Some of the Malware programs disable the installing and say ” you don’t admin rights”
I have found Malwarebytes.org does not use the Microsoft installer and can be installed anyway. Update and run a FULL scan maybe even in safe mode after updating
I had a similar problem once and I uninstalled (or just deleted) MSInstall. I think MS has a fix on their site. When that is uninstalled go to MS Update and it will update to the newest version.
Could it be that he’s logged on as a ‘user’ only & not as an ‘Administrator’?
Well I dont know if He was getting any error messages or not,but He might want to run Msicuu2.exe (google it,its available from Microsoft)
It cleans up MSI files when they get FUBAR’ed.
Not sure if it will help in this instance,but it has saved Me several times.

1. Run Chkdsk with the /F switch.
2. Check the amount of free disk space. If too low run Disk Cleanup.
3. If running any software firewall (especially ZoneAlarm) turn it off and try again.
Windows offers a download called “windows installer clean up”. I would take a look at what it could do for me.
