Windows Defender is old and not supported the way it use to be, the security essentials has taken over that role and is free to all genuine window owners.

SOURCE: no sound output through hdmi windows vista 64 bit

You will need to change your default audio output from analog to digital.

Double-click on on the little volume icon in the system tray (lower-right corner), to select which source you want to output your audio.

SOURCE: Problem with the HP G60-235DX

Have you checked the settings of your synaptics? Usually there's an Icon on the taskbar for synaptics you can right click it and check if "disable touchpad if usb pointing device is present" is checked, if so uncheck it then your touch pad should work again.
Here's a link for a step by step instruction though this is for windows xp but steps are the same. Hope this works for you:

There is a problem with this website's security certificate

N.B. This problem may be related to Lenovo's Superfish malware.

If you are having trouble accessing GMAIL or Google when you get the following message:

There is a problem with this website's security certificate

on a Lenovo laptop and you have followed the advice about resetting your clock and it still does not work ...

I suggest the following

1) Remove the bundled Norton or McAfee anti-virus
2) Enable Microsoft Defender
How to turn on Windows Defender in Windows 8 and XP Vista and 7
3) Run a full scan.
4) You will see that Microsoft Defender will find and quarantine some Lenovo software that opens up a security hole (a man in the middle attack).
5) Have Microsoft Defender delete the offending software.
6) Reboot.

The problem should now be gone.

PLEASE I URGENTLY NEED HELP FOR MY ACER LAPTOP

Althought this is not a solution to fox yor current probl it may give you some relief. After owning and tinkering with 150 computers I can honestly say that I have never had a virus, and I go to all kinds of web pages including known virus containing websites and still nothing.

Do as I do don't run or install antivirus or anti malware or even run the windows defender or the windows firewall it's just not worth the hassles and the bulls**t.
