				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What is pum.disabled.securitycenter?</h2>
<p>It is an acronym for Potentially Unwanted Modifications security centre disabled message. It is a very rare warning message shown by <strong>Malwarebytes,</strong> although it has nothing to do with virus or other malicious program.</p>
<h2>What is Reason for this error?</h2>
<p>The reason for this error is simple – The Windows Firewall settings have been modified and it will not notify you about which program is currently managing this aspect.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/pum-disabled-security-center.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2164" alt="pum disabled security center image" src="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/pum-disabled-security-center-300x168.png" width="300" height="168" /></a>
<h2>Is this a Virus Alert?</h2>
<p>No. In most cases it is found to arise during conflicting situations where users have installed 2 or more Antivirus program. Either of the programs feel the other one to be managing the Firewall settings. In reality, however, the Windows Notification for Firewall management is found to be turned off. Hence, no Firewall is activated for the system.</p><p style="float: left;margin: 4px;"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-5895182704478076";

//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></p></p>
<h2>How to fix this problem?</h2>
<p>You should never keep 2 or more Antivirus program at once. This is what you need to do –</p>
<ol>
<li>Uninstall any of the Antivirus Programs</li>
<li>Restart your Computer</li>
<li>Now Press Start &#8212; &gt; Control Panel</li>
<li>Go to All Control Panel Items &#8212; &gt;Windows Firewall</li>
<li>Select the “Turn Windows Firewall On/Off”</li>
<li>Select “Turn On Firewall”</li>
<li>Also select “Notify Me”</li>
<li>Press Ok</li>
<li>Restart your computer</li>
</ol>
<p>Now run the <strong>Malwarebytes</strong> again. You should not get any error messages now.</p>
<p>If you are still unable to fix this problem you can ask for help by using the comment section.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What is ati2evxx.exe?</h2>
<p>It is a third party program from ATI technologies INC and is responsible for managing External Event Utility features for Windows 9X and NT.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/ati2evxx.exe.jpeg" rel="attachment wp-att-2069"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2069" title="ati2evxx.exe" src="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/ati2evxx.exe.jpeg" alt="ati2evxx.exe image" width="313" height="167" /></a></p>
<h2>Is ati2evxx.exe a virus?</h2>
<p>No, it is definitely not a virus but sure acts like one. With not much information available for this file one can easily confuse it with a virus or some other malware program. This is a digitally verified executable process from the ATI technologies and should not be deleted.<span id="more-2065"></span></p>
<h2>Common Errors Related to ati2evxx.exe</h2>
<p>Following are some of the common errors related to this ATI process –</p>
<ol>
<li>Two Instances of ati2evxx.exe running under Task Manager</li>
<li>ati2evxx.exe Application Error</li>
<li>ati2evxx.exe memory Could not be read</li>
<li>ati2evxx.exe memory could not be written</li>
</ol>
<h2>ati2evxx.exe causing Memory Problems</h2>
<p>This file is not usually found to result in system problems in Windows. However, if you have made some unprecedented changes to the ATI graphics, an issue for excessive memory usage might arise. You can try the following two options to fix this situation –</p>
<ol>
<li>Uninstall all current ATI drivers and then restart your computer. Reinstall each of them once more and then check the situation again. This method usually fixes up all major memory issues with this process.</li>
<li>If you are still unable to fix the memory leak, you can try terminating the process from the task manager forcefully. This is how you can do it –
<ol>
<li>Press Ctr + Alt + Del</li>
<li>Select Process Tab from the task manager</li>
<li>Find ati2evxx.exe and right click it to select “End Process Tree”</li>
<li>Exit Task Manager</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<h2>How to disable ati2evxx.exe from Startup?</h2>
<p>You cannot disable this process from the System configuration Utility Tool. It is not added to the start-up list and you will not find it there. You have to remove the associated service which involves starting this process from the Computer Management panel. This is how you can stop the service –</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/ati2evxx.exe-disable.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-2072"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2072" title="ati2evxx.exe-disable" src="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/ati2evxx.exe-disable.jpg" alt="ati2evxx.exe-disable-image" width="500" height="162" /></a></p>
<ol>
<li>Press Ctr + Alt + Del and select the process tab</li>
<li>Find ati2evxx.exe from the list and right click it.</li>
<li>Select End process Tree</li>
<li>Now Click on Start button and Right click on My Computer</li>
<li>Select Manage option from the list</li>
<li>Now select “Services and Application” from the Computer Management Window</li>
<li>Now select Services from the right panel again</li>
<li>From the list of programs find – “ATI External Event Utility”</li>
<li>Right click the service and select properties</li>
<li>Now select Startup type as Disabled from the General Tab</li>
<li>Press OK and exit Computer Management Window</li>
</ol>
<p>This will permanently disable the process from automatically starting every time you restart your windows. If your graphics card is unable to play any games after applying these changes you can revert back to Step 10 and select Manual option from the drop down and restart your computer.</p>
<h2>Download ati2evxx.exe</h2>
<p>You should not download this process individually from third party websites or torrent. Most of them are infected and will totally compromise up your system. If you want to retain this process you can run the OEM installer CD/DVD which came with your PC or Notebook.</p>
<p>If you are still stuck with any problems related to this ATI process you can ask our experts in the comment section. We are always here to help you out.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SysWoW64 is a system directory of Windows 64 based Operating Systems. The main feature of this subsystem is to run 32 bit application and programs in compatibility mode with 64bit environment.</p>
<p>SysWoW64 system32 is bundled with all Windows 64 bit versions including Windows Xp, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Server 2003. It is also an optional component for Windows Server 2008 release 2 core. The main reason for creating this component is to efficiently manage the differences which arise between 32-64 bit structural changes.<span id="more-1803"></span></p>
<h2>Library Translation</h2>
<p>SysWoW64 subsystem component constitutes light compatibility layer which has almost similar interface as that of all 64 bit based Windows models. This subsystem aims at creating a virtual simulation which can help run 32 bit programs on a 64 bit Operating System. Practically, it is implemented with the help of 3 DLL files viz &#8211; WoW64.dll, WoW64win.dll and WoW64cpu.dll<!--more--></p>
<h2>Is syswow64 a virus?</h2>
<p>No SysWoW64 is not a virus. It is a system folder. Syswow64 is listed with Microsoft Corporation and is licensed with 64 bit Operating Systems.</p>
<h2>Common Errors Associated with SysWoW64</h2>
<p>Although there can be many errors associated with this sub-directory and interdependent file, the most common errors that you may encounter are mentioned below: (Some of them are usually triggered due to 3rd party apps and needs to be corrected for the application itself. This has nothing to do with misplacement or file path of SYSWOW64 directory)</p>
<ol>
<li>WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\WBEM\WNIPRVSE.EXE Unauthorized Access Blocked</li>
<li>ERROR #132 SysWoW64 crashed</li>
<li>SysWow64.DisableFsRedirection()</li>
<li>SysWoW Error Mac</li>
<li>SysWoW64 rundll32 error</li>
<li>windows syswow64 rundll32.exe error</li>
</ol>
<h2>Windows 7 Support for SysWoW64</h2>
<p>Windows 7 works quite good with SysWoW64 emulation. It can easily run 32 bit interface under the 64 bit environment without any problem. The only problem seems to be visible is while rendering HD games which uses this feature once in a while. If you are having any problems related with this file for gaming applications, kindly consult the game help section for troubleshooting and support.</p>
<h2>System32 and SysWoW64</h2>
<p>Many people find that the registry of SysWow64 is incorrectly being shown under system32 registry keys in windows vista and 7. This is not a problem for majority of application but this can be a problem with new application which has not followed the MSDN guidelines. Under such condition one might have to edit the path to set the function execution correctly.</p>
<h2>SysWoW64 odbc</h2>
<p>odbc sometimes create problem under 64 bit editions. This is a common error and you simply need to upgrade the software which is creating the problem. Almost all standard application release a patch file for solving this problem but if your software has no support included for SysWoW64 odbc error you will have to contact the developer or the support forum for the software.</p>
<p>If you are facing any problems with this directory, you can ask for help in the comment section.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What is classpnp.sys?</h2>
<p>It is a digitally signed Microsoft Windows Operating System file for SCSI class which is an acronym for Small Computer System Interface.</p>
<h2>Location of classpnp.sys</h2>
<p>This file can be found residing under the System Root directory -</p>
<blockquote><p>C:/Windows/System32/DRIVERS/CLASSPNP.sys<span id="more-2009"></span></p></blockquote>
<h2>classpnp.sys freezes under SAFE MODE</h2>
<p>You must have encountered this error after you have updated your Windows version and now you are unable to log into your system. This is usually due to incompatible drivers which are not updated to work with the latest version of Windows. Being unable to communicate with the hardware peripherals during the boot process, the operating system hangs. This problem is most common while upgrading from Windows Xp to Windows Vista.</p>
<h2>How to stop classpnp.sys from loading?</h2>
<p>You cannot stop this file from loading directly to your system. This is a core system process and cannot be stopped explicitly from being directly called on for the boot process. It is utmost advisable not to modify this file cause doing so might make your system unstable.</p>
<h2>Fix and Repair classpnp.sys</h2>
<p>Follow these steps to fix the classpnp.sys error by modifying the BIOS settings:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/classpnp.sys_.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-2014" title="classpnp.sys" src="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/classpnp.sys_.jpg" alt="classpnp.sys error" width="428" height="322" /></a></p>
<ol>
<li>Restart your laptop/desktop</li>
<li>Press F12 to access the BIOS panel</li>
<li>Find and select &#8220;Advanced&#8221; menu</li>
<li>Now select &#8220;System Config&#8221;</li>
<li>Find SATA Controller and change it from &#8220;AHCI&#8221; to &#8220;Compatibility&#8221;</li>
<li>Now Press F10 and then &#8220;Y&#8221; to Exit the saved configuration</li>
</ol>
<h2>Download classpnp.sys</h2>
<p>As I have always said that downloading a system file from third party website is a complete unsafe application. There is however no official source available as well. So, if you have no other option we would advice you to borrow this file from someone who has the same laptop model or similar hardware configuration. Save it on a disk/USB drive. And then copy it to the above mentioned file location.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UIF (Universal Image Format) is an image extension format patented by MagicISO for creating compressed image files. This is a very rarely used file format and cannot be mounted directly by any third party applications.</p>
<h2>How to open UIF file?</h2>
<p>You can open UIF file using 2 methods:</p>
<ol>
<li>Use MagicISO to open file directly</li>
<li>Convert UIF to ISO and then mount the ISO file to image drive<span id="more-1979"></span></li>
</ol>
<h3>Opening UIF file using MagicISO</h3>
<p>This application is not a freeware and you have to pay to get the full features. The demo version does not support editing and decompressing UIF files and has a very limited functionality. To get the full version you can buy this product directly from the developer website. After you have successfully received the licence code you can edit the UIF files directly by following these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open MagicISO</li>
<li>Click on the file tab on the menu bar</li>
<li>Select browse</li>
<li>Browse to the UIF image location</li>
<li>Now you can edit and modify content directly</li>
</ol>
<h3>Convert UIF to ISO using MagicISO</h3>
<p>If you want to convert UIF file to ISO standard image format, you can easily do it using the decompresser option available in the paid version of MagicISO application.</p>
<ol>
<li>Download MagicISO</li>
<li>Run the Program</li>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Auto Kindle ebook converter is primarily a quick and easy program to convert various ebook extensions to kindle compatible format.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Auto-Kindle-eBook-Converter.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="Auto Kindle eBook Converter" src="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Auto-Kindle-eBook-Converter-300x258.jpg" alt="Auto Kindle eBook Converter image" width="234" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t have a stylish name and lacks edgy borderline. This Kindle eBook converter is compatible with a number of file formats such as PDF, PDB, LIT, CHM and HTML files having cross browser compatibility.<span id="more-1961"></span></p>
<h2>How to Use Auto Kindle eBook Converter</h2>

<li>Select the file that you want to convert</li>
<li>Press Enter and then open it to select your content folder.</li>
<li>Wait till the conversion is completed</li>
<li>Disconnect Kindle safely</li>
</ol>
<p>The conversion speed is dependent on the size of the document you are dealing with.

This converter works great under such situations.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What is Teatimer.exe?</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Spybot-Search-and-destroy.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1825" title="Spybot Search and destroy" src="http://www.hkactivity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Spybot-Search-and-destroy.png" alt="Spybot Search and destroy image" width="267" height="269" /></a>Teatimer.exe is a simple part process of the antispyware software &#8211; <strong><em>Spybot Search and destroy</em></strong>. This program helps your system to stay guard against everyday spy-ware threats and intrusions. If you have installed this program there is nothing to worry about as this is a legitimate process and not a virus, but if you do not remember installing this program you should take immediate steps to throw it out of your system.</p>
<p><span id="more-1824"></span></p>
<h2>Teatimer showing High memory and CPU usage</h2>
<p>This can happen due to many reasons. Most common errors arise due to corrupt installation or dll sharing conflict. The major problem with antispyware and other such applications is that they require certain system files (dll files) to be patched so that they can run effectively but this creates confusion with the in built system protection program &#8211; Windows Defender. Even if you have turned it off there are chances it has reset the patched dll files which creates problem for the application&#8217;s working.</p>
<p>The program cannot determine the fault on its own and continues to search for the previously patched files. In the due process, the Teatimer application starts consuming more memory which results in High CPU usage at the end.</p>
<h2>How to disable Teatimer.exe?</h2>
<p>You cannot disable this process directly. You will have to disable the core program which is using this process from the startup manager. Follow these simple steps to terminate this process from the start-up:</p>
<ol>
<li>Press Winkey + R</li>
<li>Type msconfig and press Enter</li>
<li>Browse to the startup tab</li>
<li>Find Spybot process</li>
<li>Uncheck the checkbox beside it</li>
<li>Press &#8220;Apply&#8221; and the then &#8220;OK&#8221;</li>
<li>Now save all your unsaved works</li>
<li>Select &#8220;Restart&#8221;</li>
<li>Wait till you system restarts</li>
</ol>
<h2>Teatimer Spybot Removal Instructions</h2>
<p>If you are sure you want to remove this antispyware program you can use the system control panel to uninstall this program from your system. Just follow the undermentioned guidelines:</p>
<ol>
<li>Click the &#8220;start&#8221; button</li>
<li>Select &#8220;Control Panel&#8221;</li>
<li>Find and select &#8220;Add or remove Programs&#8221;</li>
<li>From the list find &#8220;Spybot Search and Destroy&#8221;</li>
<li>Right click it and select Uninstall</li>
<li>Follow the onscreen instruction and press next</li>
<li>Wait till the program is removed</li>
<li>Restart your system to apply the changes</li>
</ol>
<p>Teatimer.exe is definitely a required process of the main spybot application but if it is creating problems, the best option would be to remove it completely and then reinstall is again. This way the operating system will also get stable and you can have this antispyware back again.</p>
