How to remove IronDefender?

Here is one more malware that disguises itself as the useful malware removal tool. It's function is almost same as that of the other disguised malwares. It does not scan your computer or find any virus or malware. When IronDefender is installed in a computer it will start along with windows on the next booting. It will perform a fake scan and informs the user that a harmful malware is present in his computer and it has to be removed. It asks the user to register IronDefender by paying a price for registration. Actually the message is a lie to make the poor victim to pay for the malware.

IronDefender will display options that other genuine antivirus as- "Full Scan", "System Scan", "Scan Basic Locations", "Scan Removable Media", "Scan Folder", "Realtime protection" and "Tools". All of the features do not really protect the computer but just show the fake functions only.

If you are a victim of the IronDefender, ir has to be removed immediately !

Removal:

Kill the process

F0E84.exe
vur4.exe

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IronDefender

Fixing Office 2010 Error 1935 and Error 0x80070005

To fix the error, make sure that you have closed down all instances of any Microsoft Office application that is running on your system, these may include any of the following:

• Word
• Excel
• Access
• PowerPoint
• Outlook
• Communicator

In addition to the above, we have had reports that some Anti-virus programs interfere with the installation, temporarily disable your Anti-Virus programs, install Office 2010 and then re-enable the AV solution. Programs we've seen having problems with Office 2010 installation:

• Forefront Client Security
• Panda Cloud Antivirus
• Clam Antivirus

Also check the task manager to see if you have any background Office tasks running. If so, shut them down. Retry your installation again.

If you experience the same error once again, try restarting your computer and once rebooted, retry your installation.

After closing all applicaitons and running the installer, everything should run smoothly and you will be presented with the following dialog:
