How to run “sudo apt-get update” through proxy in commandline?

Unable to update windows vista or defender, manually or automatically. spy ware will not run or update.?

• I am working on my mothers computer, im pretty sure that she has a virus that keeps me from running any programs to get ride of it. I download multiple spy ware programs and they tell me that they could not install because it was invalid exe. Windows can't update, defender can't update and the ad-ware, and spy ware will not update that were previously installed. I go to Microsoft to have them scan the computer and it tells me that the OS is invalid. She is running vista 64 bit on a HP. Im at a loss any ideas? Last update that she was able to do in OCT 2008

  Hello, see if you can use System Restore to roll back the registry to before the infection occurred. Go to Start > All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore I hope this helps Mike the mod @ vista_ & Win7 http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/vista_/ http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/Win7/
