Hi (pls move this thread, if it belongs somewhere else…) Do you get bored of all the pishingmails that endup in your email ? Do you think, just deleting them, will help stop them ? No! ;) So, but what can normal users do ? - Most of this mails wanna link you (with a cryptic link) to their site (DO NOT CLICK!) As example, look at this pishing Mail, i got today: When you hover the mouse over it, you can see, this cryptic link (my Mail Provider, adds his redirection automaticly…) But what now ? First: You Need a URL ENCODE/DECODE Service, i use: Meyerweb (https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder) If you copy your bad link with (rightmouseclick & Copy) and enter it at your encoderservice & press encode! Now, you go to a url scanner site, i use https://www.virustotal.com and enter that link, in their url scanner (if the pishingsite is unknown for them (everything is green), click on the devil Smiley to mark it bad! - Under Advanced Information, you can see the redirections, and where it links to… (you can use the ip, but i work with the link) (Decode this link again, and you know, where this link was trying to redirect you! - With this link, you search a WhoIsIP Service in your browser (sometimes you need to try more than one), and the who is IP Service, tells you, where this site is hosted! In this case it is cloudflare… Now you search the web, for the official hoster site, and write them (in this case, they have a abuse mail abuse+law@cloudflare.com), and send them your pishing mail... Fin p.s. (i maybe will work, at this post later (some spell correction), but for now, ist ok for me like this, i just wanna give others the Option to fight back a littlebit ;) - Feel free to comment, or share your tips, or

I remember when this patch came i installed it on my old dead xp pc and kaspersky literly didnt work it didnt open and it complained it was crashing.

get it updated manually one-by-one it's very difficult. ... Vistaboy: After you've installed Vista SP2, the regular Vista Windows Update (available on your Start Menu) will download a wad of updates, typically several hundred, that will bring your system up to April 2017. Note that you should run the System Update Readiness Tool and the four or five "speed up" updates before trying to get Win Update to do its thing, otherwise you'll be twiddling your thumbs for a couple of days waiting for stuff to happen. AFTER THAT, you can begin to look for Win Server 2008 updates -- maybe at the Microsoft Update Catalog, if that's to your taste or happen to be looking for some non-Vista files, or from GreenHillManiac's collection if you want to keep things simple. Anotther word of advice: Windows Vista does not like to run MSU update files while the the Windows Update window is open, so before you tackle the the WE2008 updates go to WU Settings and turn everything applicable to OFF. Then dig in. More advice: I'd suggest that after every three or four updates you reboot the system rather than try to get everything all at once, Not a manditory requirement, but my experience is that the first patch installs quickly, and the next ones take a bit longer. So my rule of thumb is to devote an hour or two to Vista patches and other installations, then reboot, and repeat the process. You should be all done in a day or so. Then you can go back to the WU Settings and restore them to the original values. If you're running Windows Defender or Microsoft Office, you'll get an occasional update through this channel afterwards-- maybe a couple every month, maybe less. And you'll be even with the rest of us. And we'll have to call you Vista Man!
