How does one uninstall Windows Vault and Credentials Manager? Why do I need to have this Windows Vault/Credentials Manager if I do not store my credentials on my local machine? This should be an optional tool!!!! Specially this Generic Credentials non-sense. I went to the KB949104 and it reported that my windows is up to date. Now I am getting this fictitious certificate VirtualApp/Didlogical. I keep deleting it and it keeps re-appearing. I do not have automatic windows updates because I fear creating a backdoor from my limited user account to my admin account. I do not see why there should be a difference in the security controls of windows update. Furthermore, if you are telling me that it is possible for an intruder to install a fake update???? I just as soon like to disable this Windows Vault all together but do not seem to find instructions on how to do it. I do not wish to save/store Any Credentials on my computer. I also do not use Messenger. How do I get rid of it? When I search for KB949104 a Fix IT dialogue box automatically pops up and what is worse it may or may not fix your troubles. How do I know that this is not a fake Fix It and I am un-intentionally consenting to allow an intruder to enter my local machine. There has got to be a better less stressful more secure way. Shouldn't updates fix this issue while scanning for updates manually? How and when did Microsoft fix this issue. How do I get rid of generic credentials manager all together and block any and all generic credentials form re-creating itself?~ Virginia Benedict Group Founding Owner: Network Monitoring & Incident Response ~0~ Managing Curator/Alliance Program Coordinator: Information Security Community ~0~ Professional Social Media Community Management (since 1992) Market Engineering Strategist Systems & Network Security/Computer Forensics SME Technologies Analyst (since 1989) Groups can be found on Linkedin, G+, Facebook

Hi, Regarding how to remove VirtualApp/Didlogical, please refer to [How To] Remove Virtualapp/didlogical Credentials In Windows 7. Regarding Windows Credentials, please refer to the following: Windows Credentials - Where to get more details? What is Credential Manager? If you would like to disable Windows Credential Manager, please try the following and see how it works: 1. Open gpedit.msc 2. Go to: Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options 3. Find the policy: Netowrk access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication 4. Change the Local Security Settings to Enable Hope this helps.

Thank you Jeremy, I believe that I have this security setting already enabled. However, I will double check.~ Virginia Benedict - Group Founding Owner/Managing Curator/Vendor Alliance Program Director - Network Monitoring & Incident Response and Cyber Security Network - Groups can be found on Linkedin, G+, Facebook ~0~ Professional Social Media Community Management (cir 1992)- Market Engineering Strategist (cir 1984) - Systems & Network Security/Computer Forensics (cir 2000) - Technologies Analyst (since 1989) We are Microsoft UG Community Leaders
