Windows Live Security software A friend just called me and said he got some security software from Windows Live. It was working yesterday .. But today, It won’t take his password. He couldn’t tell me what it was … He just thought he needed it I have an Acronis Image of his computer and can put it back to the way it was when it last left my house a couple months ago. He’ll be here in about an hour Anyone have an Idea of what he installed ??? And can I remove whatever he installed ?? | My System Specs |

The latter looks like it could require a Password.
He's really stumped why it worked yesterday .. And not today.
He was wondering if there's a way to get the password .. Does Windows Live have it ??
I know .. You're not Allowed to answer that.
I don't think he has kids to worry about .. Unless I can find a quick fix ...
I'll let Acronis remove it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP d4996t (upgraded) OS XP MCE .... XP Pro 64 ....

Actually I changed my post before you posted and removed the first. I agree its the second one. Passwords are hard to find. YOu can just do a simple system restore. Why fool with an OS that is working fine. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 |

OK .. Great .. I'll try a system restore.
I told him to try to boot to safe mode .. Not sure if it can be done.
Never done a System restore in Windows 7 before ... I'll look around
I know his Windows 7 Upgrade DVD can do a repair .. and I have a Windows 7 Repair CD.
He just called again .. He'll be here in about 10 minutes.
Many Thanks for the info. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP d4996t (upgraded) OS XP MCE .... XP Pro 64 ....
