Web-I-See : digital life for everyone

Thanks for your info

thanks…
it was bugging me for a while.

Many Thanks!

I’ve never used RSS and I don’t use IE nor do I have it running.
Still, this crap was running on my system.
Thanks for the steps on how to disable it.

Where do I find this Feeds button or something cause I cant find it. There is nothing on the Internet Options property box under content about Feeds.

Thank you so much…., this was getting me crazy…

I never use or open it but it pop-up in my firewall after an security update for IE ( even if not used !!!) you can delete this malware if you don’t need it ( search msfee*.* )

The media center is also updated even if you disable it as service

BTW here a good one :

Disable Windows Media Center using Group Policy (or Registry)

Run Group Policy Object Editor (GPEdit.msc), expand Computer Configuration (for per-machine settings if you want disable for all users on the computer) or User Configuration (for per-user settings if you want to disable for logged on user only), then expand Administrative Templates, and finally Windows Components, and select Windows Media Center. Change the setting for Do not allow Windows Media Center to run to Enabled. Once WMC disable policy is set, the following message will appear whenever users trying to run Windows Media Center.

Windows Media Center Blocked by Group Policy
Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more information contact your system administrator.

Windows Vista Home Premium edition does not come with GPEdit.msc (Group Policy Editor), however the policy that block MCE from running can still be set manually in registry, and will be honored by the operating system. To set the policy registry key, open Registry Editor, and navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft

Right click on Microsoft and create a New Key named WindowsMediaCenter (no space in between). Under “WindowsMediaCenter” registry branch, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named MediaCenter, and set its value data to 1.

Registry Setting to Disable Windows Medic Center (MCE)

Alternatively, simply run the following command in elevated privilege command prompt:

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaCenter /v MediaCenter /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

To revert and re-enable MCE, simply delete the WindowsMediaCenter registry key created in Registry Editor, or run the following command in elevated privilege command prompt:

reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaCenter /v MediaCenter /f

BONUS

Disabling Adobe Updater The Easy Way
( http://blog.stealthpuppy.com/deployment/disable-adobe-updater-with-adobe-customization-wizard-8 )
If you already have Adobe Reader installed and are looking for a simple way to disable the Updater from running automatically, run the following command from a Command Prompt. This will require admin access to the machine you are running this on, so if you are running Windows Vista you must use an elevated command prompt.

REG ADD “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\FeatureLockdown” /v bUpdater /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f
