PLS  HELP.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your 
subscription current?  What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? 
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the 
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought 
it)?

Support for Vista Gold (no Service Packs) ended on Tuesday, 13 April 2010. 
Computers still running Vista Gold "will no longer receive software updates 
[e.g., SP1] from Windows Update" until SP1 has been manually installed 
(which will require that several Prerequisite Updates be installed first).

    • What does it mean if my version of Windows is no longer supported?
