I can't install iTunes?

The errors: "itunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script (VBScript) is not installed or has been disabled." Make sure VBScript is installed, turned off blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VBScript, and then install iTunes."



Help please!

Try disabling your Anti Virus and Firewall then. If that doesn't work, I recommend Ms. Dell's solution to you.

Does iTunes work with Vista?

I upgraded to Vista and later wanted iTunes and I get this message:



"iTunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script (VBScript) is not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn off script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VBScript, and then install iTunes."



I turned off the button in Kaspersky that says "block dangerous scripts in Internet Explorer"



I installed "Windows Script 5.6 for Windows XP and Windows 2000"



I still can't get iTunes to install!



Does iTunes work with Vista?pc security



well one of the geek squad from best buy told me that Apple is gonna update iTunes, and that new version might not be compatible with Vista..maybe because Apple is left behind in the OS thing or something. hehe.. but maybe if Windows users demand that the new iTunes(if ever it wont be compatible) be on Vista, maybe they'll make it available..

Help Windows Explorer does not work - how can I circumnavigate it? Some of you Please note its not I

All the anti virus, spykiller, malware removal software appears to use Windows Explorer to run, This crashes, I need to remove a folder and all its files. How please! Thanks Pete,



Previous Answer



"One thing which you can do is to start the PC in safe mode, by repeatedly pressing F8 when on the BIOS startup screen (it will either have a logo of your PC / motherboard manufacturer or a count of how much RAM you have).



When pressing F8, you will be presented with a menu. If you're using Windows XP / 2000, choose "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" or, with Windows 9x, choose Safe Mode Command Prompt". etc.



I have booted in safe mode, trying both my user and the Administrator. Unfortunately when I run the command rd /s my user\Shared\Films it still crashes. The folder is a limewire folder Shared\Films. The error message I get is "cmd.exe - Application Error The instruction at 0x7c911e58 referenced memory at 0x2157454e. The memory could not be read".



Any ideas please. Thanks.

I-pod Problem - Installing Itunes, VBScript Error (Windows Computer)?

Basically I have a problem with installing I-tunes on my Computer.



I'm using Windows XP and I cannot install I-tunes 7. X on my computer.



When I download it, and click on it. It comes up with an error.



I-tunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script (VBScript) is not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn of script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, Re-Register VBScript, and then install I-tunes.



I'm not really sure what this means I should do does any one have any ideas or has anyone had the same problem?



I-pod Problem - Installing Itunes, VBScript Error (Windows Computer)?pop up blocker



The problem was that, for some reason, the 32-bit version of VBScript.dll wasn鈥檛 registered on your machine. I don鈥檛 know if that鈥檚 by design (a security feature) or a bug in this beta build of Vista. The solution:



Start Menu -%26gt; All Programs -%26gt; Accessories -%26gt; Right Click on Command Prompt -%26gt; Run As Administrator.



Type 鈥渃d C:\Windows\SysWOW64鈥?



Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll



If you don鈥檛 do Run as Administrator, the regsvr32 will fail. Also, be careful to run the command in SysWOW64, not System32! System32 on a 64-bit system actually contains the 64-bit system libraries. The 32-bit versions are in (where else?) SysWOW64. Makes perfect sense, right? (From an engineering standpoint it probably does, but it鈥檚 going to be a source of confusion for a lot of people, no doubt).

Clicking on Yahoo Stories Makes my Computer Run Hot?

For the past 2 weeks every time I click on a news story through Yahoo, it makes my computer run hot, the fan jumps to warp speed and then eventually processing slows right down to a crawl. I have tried this with both Explorer and Firefox to get the same result. I have run an Anti-Virus and Ad removal software and still the same problem, any clues??????



Clicking on Yahoo Stories Makes my Computer Run Hot?product key



You might have dust accumulated on the processor fan which will make your fan work overtime.



Power off your PC and open up you PC case and either use compressed air or a vacuum and clean up the dust in there.



That should fix your problem.



Clicking on Yahoo Stories Makes my Computer Run Hot?triumph



Clicking on Yahoo Stories shouldn't have any effect at all on whether or not your computer runs fast.



Try updating your flash player and shockwave player at adobe.com.



Be sure you have the latest versions of IE and Firefox with latest updates.

Download a free version of linux called backtrack2.

From there you can start snort, the leading intrusion detection system.



Wait till the hacker (if it is a hacker) strikes. Get his ip and have fun, backtrack comes with ALOT of tools you can use to get your own back.

Help with virus protection, if you can, please!?

I was messing around on the computer, going places I shouldn't have been, I guess. I was warned that I needed to run my virus scan and anti-spy to clear it up. The problem is now, in my taskbar, I have an icon I can't get rid of--VirusProtectPro wants me to download it's product, and I have no need for it, because I am well protected without it. Is this a reliable company, or what? I ran a scan with it once, and it told me I was infected, and had to purchase their software to clean it up. I do not need their services, but they won't go away. Any ideas on how to remove it from my taskbar?

lots of good solution are already posted. I guess there nothing more to add except that you should change your anti-virus and anti spyware softwares to a more reliable programs and at the same time offering real time protection. here's my top choice of security softwares:

These messages you are getting are a form of malware. They are trying to pressure/ trick you into buying from them so they can then profit from you. You could have possibly aquired them through a download (from a p2p network and so on...) or you may have ran a bogus executable. Several other means are possible yet are irrelevant to the situation. In my personal opinion you should purchase a reliable anti-virus/malware program, or an all in one suite (including a firewall). Norton and Mcaffee have done a good job for my computers, and should clear your situation up once installed and runned.
It's very possible that the message was the spyware. Shut down your computer and start it in Safe Mode(by repeatedly pushing F5 RIGHT AFTER booting the computer), and scan for viruses.



P.S. You can download McAfee Virus Scanner for free if you are a Comcast subscriber.
ok i had a similar problem. Download Superantispyware and do a full scan. Remove any of the infections. any further questions email me.

What is the best software for removing a worm/trojan horse from a compter?

I've got a virus on my computer that hijacks me to bogus sites asking me to update bank info, verify ssn, etc. I've tried to remove it with Norton antivirus, MS defender, ad-aware, yahoo toolbar anti spyware, spybot search %26 destroy. None of these have been able to detect or remove the virus. One of my friends said that once the virus is embedded in the computer, these programs can't work. So now I'm stuck, I need to remove the virus. is there any software that works once the virus is on the computer?

A Possible Virus Problem?

Every time I set up anti-spyware software, within the next Start Up Its been deleted or uninstalled and all there is for the icon is that "unkown file format" icon.....some help?



A Possible Virus Problem?stinger



Apparently, the Anti-spyware program DELETED something that was run at startup. This is probably nothing that you need. If your computer is running fine, then to to the Start menu and pick RUN. Type MSCONFIG and go to the startup section. You will see that file name in that list. Uncheck it.



Just in case, update your anti-virus program. Then reboot into SAFE mode. (Use F8 during the startup sequence) Then run a full scan while in safe mode.



You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search %26 Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.

NoAdware detects a virus in my prog files -spyware stormer but is unable to delete it. How do I get

When running my NoAware it detects a spyware in my program files called "spyware stormer". I have tried to delete it a number of times but have been unsucessful. This message show up- "Purports to be anti-spyware software, but has been known to be installed through extremely devious methods." My compute has been very slow since. Help me get rid of it PLEASE. Thanks Patty



NoAdware detects a virus in my prog files -spyware stormer but is unable to delete it. How do I get rid of it?suzuki



First of all, NoAdware is a terrible program to use. CNET reviewed the software and gave it a 1 out of 10 (10 being the best). Second, items detected by anti-spyware programs aren't necessarily spyware. Occasionally, there are false positives - items which are genuinely harmless but labeled as spyware. You will need a better security program than NoAdware. There are three (3) applications that can help and all of them free to download. They are Spybot Search%26Destroy, Lavasoft's Ad Aware and Microsoft's Window Defender beta 2. You can find all these programs at http://www.filehippo.com/software/antisp...



You can install them all without any problem but be sure to scan one at a time. CNET has a great website which shows you to how to use each of these applications. The link is http://www.download.com/Security-Spyware...



Lastly, you can use Computer Associates' Spyware Encyclopedia to look up a particular spyware. When one of my anti-spyware scanners detects a suspicous file, I look it up in the encyclopedia. The encyclopedia lists all the files added by a particular spyware. If I don't find these files then I conclude that it was a false positive. Another trick is to scan the suspicious file with another anti-spyware scanner. If two scanners come up with the same suspicious file(s) then I am convinced that it is indeed spyware.

Please can you help me re: PC and virus/ internet problem?

I am reposting with further details:



I have a windows Vista - 7 months old. I only had the free trial Mc Afee for a month, and i have left it otherwise. I noticed it was going a bit funny, so I downloaded a Kaspergers or whatever it is - another free trial .Then my internet completely stopped. So my internet provider suggested that I delete all anti viral software, and take up their free software.



But... after deletion I still cannot get the internet and i am worried as i have no protection at all now.



As far as I have gathered I do need protection even without the internet (which i do want - it just won't work) - it is corrupting my music files.



I can't access any sites as my internet connection isn't working - so don't give me links please, i assuming that I can't do it from another computer, which is what i am having to use at the moment.



Honestly i do not have a clue, and i don't know how bad it is.



Please can you help me re: PC and virus/ internet problem?symantic



You can't just "delete" the anti-virus programs from your computer. You need to use the "uninstallers". Also, you most certainly do not want to have two anti-virus programs running at the same time. We may be able to fix this but will need some more information; as in, exactly what has been done thus far.



Have you tried Vista's built in network connection diagnostic tool? What if any error messages are you getting? Have you looked in your "Device Manager" to see if your NIC is listed and not showing any errors?

I bet its NORTON isn't it? If its Norton, you need to get rid of it from your registry and use the Norton Removal Tool- a software created especially by Norton themselves to delete their software.



The important thing here is you need to modify the registry. The registry is a very sensitive thing, if you disturb it, you might risk causing permanent damage to your PC, so be careful. Follow the instruction on the website below:

Because you're going to mess with the registry. I don't want to be responsible for any damages okay. Do so at your own risk.

If it came with the computer, go to the place where you bought it, or find the disk that it came with.

StorageProtector is the new rogue anti-spyware that can destroy your computer and steal personal data. It opens a backdoor that allows the remote attacker to get the full control over the infected computer. Some trojans (like Zlob) can show StorageProtector fake security alerts, hijack homepage with www.storageprotector.com and create desktop icons (Help and Support Center) that leads users to StorageProtector fake online scan (screenshot below).Once StorageProtector gets inside your system, it may start showing fake security messages that your system is in danger and try to goad you into buying its commercial StorageProtector version.

I came home and discovered the diskes were still there in the box but were opened and used/installed on my laptop. Can I still use those diskes on my desktop too? will it work again?



Can I do this? (computer question)?virus removal



If the software came pre-installed on your new machine then it is most likely is is OEM licensed software. In this case you are NOT allowed to install it on any other machine under the terms of the agreement on the packaging. If the software is retail software (like you would buy off the shelf), and this could be found out by reading the small print on the box, then you CAN install it on another machine, but ONLY if you have first uninstalled the copy on the first machine.



The only case where you can install software on multiple machines is when the license is for a network or multiple installations (and this is unlikely for a boxed product).



All that said, you probably actually can install it on the second machine and get a free year's protection before being forced to renew or upgrade, which you will have to pay for anyway.



I personally would uninstall Norton (because it is a resource hog and crashes your desktop all the time) and install something like AVG (do a google for "avg free"). You can even pay for AVG if you prefer, and get all the support etc, and it is still cheaper than Norton.

As I understand it your CD ROM works sometimes, and doesn't others..You really need to have protection on your unit. Your right it sounds like a bug.. Restore to a point where the CD Rom worked. Then go to www.download.com There is a search bar at the top. Type in :



AVG FREE anti-virus download it then update it.. Then look for SPY BOT Search and Destroy..download it and update it.. After you update Spy Bot , click on "Immunize" on the main Spy Bot page.. let it run ..A window may pop up telling you, so many things have been blocked and there are so many that can be blocked... if it does , then click immunize at the top. This loads the definitions. Click block pages silently also.. Look for and download , Zone Alarm free fire wall also..You need one of these too. Then go to www. lavasoft.com and look for AD-Aware SE personal edition..Download it and then update it... These programs are all free..Then run all three programs. The Firewall runs itself.. You might want to get yourself a 512 Ram card or higher too.. You really need more than the 256 you have. You will need to run all three programs at least once a week..The AVG protects constantly. And can be set up to automatically update, and scan for problems. But you will have to open and check for updates and run the programs manually for the other 2..

Problem is, I cant get rid of it. When you click on the balloon, it brings you to a web page where you can buy this software. There seem to be 3 names for this software. Adware is another one. This virus sucks. I have run several anti spyware programs to get rid of it and non have worked. I have even tried to manually search for the files in my registery and that hasnt worked. Since the virus keeps using Internet Explorer, i tried deleating that but it still didnt work! From what I have read online, this virus seems to be quite evasive. Please help! Anyone who has had this virus and successfully removed it, I am all ears!

If you can, download the most recent virus definitions for your anti virus software. Also, download several spybot apps such as Spybot S%26D and Lavasoft's Ad-Aware.



Disconnected your network cable and do a thorough scan of your HD for viruses and spyware.



Hope that helps - good luck!

Can threatfire block or stop Viruses, Worms and Trojans?

i have threatfire anti virus.



is threat fire is antivirus software or can stop virus....



Can threatfire block or stop Viruses, Worms and Trojans?viruses



ThreatFire is NOT a traditional signature-based anti-virus such as Norton, McAfee or Avast and should NOT be used in place of one!



Threatfire is meant to be used in addition to a signature-based anti-virus for additional protection against brand new threats.



"Regular" anti-virus detects malware by a file signature...think of a signature as a fingerprint that the anti-virus has in its database. When a new piece of malware is released onto the internet, it can take several hours up to several days for an anti-virus to update its database in order to be able to detect it.



ThreatFire looks for suspicious behavior instead and alerts you to it. This can be useful in the detection of just-released viruses and other malware. And according to Symantec, there about 1200 new malware variants, each and every day.



ThreatFire adds a nice 2nd layer of protection. But I certainly would NOT recommend that it be your 1st-line or only means of malware protection.

How can I have Yahoo without Norton?

Since installing your software upgrade including Norton anti virus my ability to work has been significantly impaired. The stupid system insists on virus checking every file I open including ones I have created myself in Microsoft products. I would say my computer now works at about 25% of the original speed and it is driving me mad. I was quite happy with the anti virus I had previously which gave me no serious virus problems. How do I get Norton off?



How can I have Yahoo without Norton?vista



I too have had trouble removing Norton products from my pc in the past, and I work in IT for a living, so don't feel bad. Here's a link to help you remove the program. If that doesn't work, your going to have to do a search on Symantec's site for removing it from your pc and registry manually...... which is a very delicate situation. Be careful if you do, since you can render your PC useless if you delete critical info (which means you'd have to reinstall Windows on your hard drive).



Good luck!

Dell Laptop...Is this a good buy?windows



The specs on it look alright, though I'd personally do away with Vista Home Basic and put XP Pro on it, and replace McAfee with Kaspersky or something else. Other than that, it looks alright for the price, but if you don't need to take it with you, you could build a desktop PC with very similar specs for much less.



Edit: Ok, since it has to be a Dell, and has to be a laptop, scratch the build the PC suggestion. My suggestion about changing out Home Basic and McAfee still stands, however. If you do this, I'd go with Office 2003 instead of 2007, since 2007 doesn't run on XP if I'm not mistaken, and would be cheaper if it's still available for purchase, and you might be able to go with a single core processor if you don't need the extra power a dual core offers, to shave a bit off of the price.

Wireless Internet? That term really bothers me. The only "wireless internet" that i can think of is satellite. What you are referring to is a wireless network with a shared Internet connection. The only other thing you will need to make that possible is a wireless router that is compatible with your wireless card. A Linksys 802.11g router can be bought for like 20 bucks. All you need to do is configure it with your Internet connection and so that it will be used as a wireless access point for your computer.

I have made the following checks to ensure that it is not a user-end hardware or software issue;

- Attempted to connect other devices (MP3 player, Wireless Keyboard/mouse reciever, Digital Camera, Cellular Phone, Gaming Controller) using all USB ports and other cables as needed



- Checked and attempted to update all known and applicable drivers and updates for installed software.



- Enabled and Disabled Anti-virus, Firewall and Router Protection programs in all combinations, with the Hard disk drive and Other USB devices

Did I make a mistake...bought a laptop with 64 bit Vista?

I quickly learned that I may have made a mistake in my recent purchase of an HP laptop. Apparently, most software currently out, like anti-virus programs, do not support 64 bit Vista. I also may not be able to run older programs and most drivers are not 64 bit compatible either.



Should I return the laptop and get one with 32 bit? I wanted this computer to be decent so that in 5 years it is not obsolete. However, I do not want to be limited because my computer is ahead of everyone else.



How fast is 64 bit catching up? Will it be another 5 years or so where the norm is 32 bit? I can still return the laptop if necessary.



No need for an expensive car if it's not street legal!!!!!!

64 bit is fine



those incompatibility rumors are just hyped up.

plus, with a 64 bit OS,. you get to use 4 or more GB of ram.



Did I make a mistake...bought a laptop with 64 bit Vista?avast



1. If it's any comfort, most viruses aren't compatible with 64-bit Vista yet, for the same reason as the anti-viruses are having trouble. A few anti-viruses do support 64-bit Vista.

How do I downgrade from Vista to XP?

I bought a laptop yesterday and I'm about ready to throw it out the window...speaking of window (segway), Windows Vista SUCKS!!!! It hasn't crashed on me or anything but it is REALLY slow. I knew Vista had a lot of problems and slowness so I bought two 1GB cards to boost the speed...it hasn't helped. My internet is slow, my applications open up slow, it's just slow and it sucks!!



So how do I downgrade (upgrade rather) to XP? My laptop is new so I don't have any programs on it at all. The only thing i've installed is my laptop internet card software and Computer Associates Anti Virus and that's it. So I'm not worried about losing anything. I just want XP. i called the store i bought my laptop from and according to them, it's a pretty hairy process because "it's not that simple." They want me to bring it in, charge me $200 to install it and give me my laptop back in 3 to 5 days...I do NOT want to do that.



How do I downgrade from Vista to XP?antispyware



you cant downgrade from vista to xp. you need to format and do a fresh install of windows xp. Format using the windows xp disc. And your laptop is probably slow because the processor and video card only just meet the requirements.. thats what all shops are doing. some laptops arnt even vista capable really and they're selling them for $800+

Is it a virus or spyware or what the @$$#0L3 ?

I'm using Win XP Pro and always connected to the net via cable modem.



Well, since the last 2/3 days I keep getting this file named ALG.exe and some other .exe files, which are increasing my broadband traffic to about 100 MB/Day (my daily usage never used to exceed 1-2 MB).



Since my internet connection is limited to 1GB, I fear this infection will end my connection in 10 days. I have installed all possible antivirus softwares available on planet earth, as well as a truckload of anti-spyware softwares like spybot and adaware etc etc. None of them is able to detect the source of the infection.



Even if i end the app in task manager, it gets to work in 5 seconds. That besides, as many times I delete the alg.exe from the windows directory, it reappears like some magic.



Now, can someone tell me what the heck of a stuff am I stuck up with and how to get rid of it?



Is it a virus or spyware or what the @$$#0L3 ?antivirus download



I'm afraid this sounds like a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) Virus. They send 1000s of signals to a website with the intent of crashing the server, worse still, you get the blame for this. Have you tried running msconfig.exe then clicking on Startup. Then unclick alg.exe as it shouldn't be there.

How to enhance the expiry period of trial versions?

Is there any safe way by which one can extend the trial period of softwares such as anti viruses?



How to enhance the expiry period of trial versions?antivirus programs



Consider trialing another different antivirus software, or purchasing it.



A trial period is a trial period, extending them is more harm than worth for the methods and time you could use.



How to enhance the expiry period of trial versions?computer protection



No, if you could do something like that; then there would be no reason to actually purchase the product and the company would lose money.
any trail program leaves a HKEY registry on your computer which basically says that you have used this program and can't use it again. when you uninstall it, it leaves the HKEY registry on the computer. to get rid of the HKEY registry go:



Start %26gt; Run...%26gt; regedit %26gt; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE %26gt; find the name of the software and delete it.



then reinstall it and you are up and running again.



WARNING!! Editing the HKEY reg can be dangerous. its best to make a backup before you touch it.

AVG or Bitdefender antivirus?

Which of these is best, I'm running vista if it helps



Major considerations are system resources used and effectiveness of virus detection/removal



Also since AVG is just anti-virus, if its better what software should I get with it for firewall, anti-spy/adware, etc.



AVG or Bitdefender antivirus?antivirus



I've been running Avg for years. the free version. recently I tried nod32, http://www.eset.com/landing_pages/landin...



It has a 30 day trial, so i thought I'd give it a try. Well, I ran it and right off the bat it found 5 trojans I never knew I had. It cleaned them up and my system was running considerably faster. It takes on spyware and rootkits as well. I recommend it. It's not free, $60 a year which is kind of out of my budget, but maybe not for you. The free trial is worth the ride though, especially if your system has been running a while like mine has.

I'm pretty sure your Idea won't work, but I would suggest getting some spyware doctor, ad-aware, spybot S%26D, the whole shebang. Install and use these in safe mode. Then, use Avast to schedule a boot scan (which gets the viruses before they can be activated.)

My internet speed dramatically reduced for some reason, what gives?

I went to speedtest.net and it went from like 1.3Mbs download speeds to like 190kbs download speeds and I can also notice it when I try to download music on iTunes. I don't know what happend, it just started being slower overnight. any ideas? My upload speed went down too, but not so drastically. I ran my anti-spyware, anti-ad ware and ant-virus software and can't find anything. I think it might have something to do with a java download, but I'm not sure, how can I find out?



My internet speed dramatically reduced for some reason, what gives?aurora



if your internet is wireless, make sure that there arnt any signal obstructions, like microwaves, wireless phones, metal walls, things like that. if it is wired, try doing a system restore, it is something where you specify a date where everything was fine, and it will take your computer back to the condition that it was, but if you have important documents, back them up on like a flash drive or something. because a system restore will delete them in order to get back to the previous condition. hope this helps!



My internet speed dramatically reduced for some reason, what gives?download



Some internet connections are semi-shared. Meaning if your neighbor is also downloading a lot then you suffer. If it continues call your provider and tell them you are gonna switch providers unless you recieve something more like the advertised internet speed.
That's pretty extreme. If you have a firewall turn it off and do the test. If you have more than one spyware/ativirus program turn off the extra ones.



Clear you internet cache and cookies, go to system tools and do a disk cleanup, and if you have a registry fixer run it.



Also it could be your isp, it's hard to tell but I really think you have too much junk running in the backround slowing down your machine.
you didn't mention doing a defrag of your system or a disk cleaning...you can find those things by clicking start, all programs, accessories and then in the dropdown you will see both the defrag and disk clean...once you run those, your speed should pick back up...

Zonealarm?

I liked Zone Alarm. The only reason why I stopped using it was the XP firewall. Two running in parallel wasn't a good idea. I liked it so much in fact I bought a years subscription on the full product. It wasn't all that much better and I quickly got bored with the extra functionality. I would recommend it. It is a bit annoying at first as it learns but it soon settles down.

Zone alarm is slowing down my computer. Is it normal?

Some months ago, I bought, intalled then disinstalled Zone Alarm because it slows down so much my computer. Now, fearing viruses, I re-installed it again. What a pain? Everything takes ages before popping-up. Is it normal to get slow down with anti-virus, firewall and other protective software? Is Zone Alarm worst than McAfee and Norton for that matter? (slowwww)



Zone alarm is slowing down my computer. Is it normal?best antivirus software



is is only zonealarm (firewall), or the zonealarm security suite? i have zonealarm (firewall), installed on every comp in my household (2 desktops, 2 laptops), and on most computers that i work on (friends/family), and have never had a problem with it at all. i've had norton security suite (with a brand new comp), and it took forever for the parental controls, etc. to load before i could connect to the internet.



could it be possible that you don't have enough ram?, how much stuff do you have on startup (on the taskbar by the clock)? how much ram do you have?



"Is it normal to get slow down with anti-virus, firewall and other protective software?" %26lt;-- yes, the more stuff that you have running (ie., messengers, music players, etc., etc.), the slower your system is going to be (especailly, if you are low on ram).



hit "ctl+alt+del", and on the "processes tab", at the bottom, how many processes do you have running, and your "cpu usage"? g/l, sos

PC has been hacked?

I think my PC has been hacked. Its not the first time. Would wiping the hard drive and re-installing XP Pro, and my anti-virus and all other security software help?



PC has been hacked?bmw



Definitely. Wiping your entire Hard Disk would delete the virus off but once again if you do not install any Virus Guard, you can still get them. So, after formatting and re-installing XP, install an Anti Virus software such as Norton Antivirus 2006 from http://www.symantec.com



BYE



PC has been hacked?free adware remover



Definately, but make sure you use an up to date firewall all the time.
wiping the hardrive would only help if you had a virus you couldn't get rid of. You should install a program like norton or mcaffe that has a firewall(protects you from those hackers) and anti virus. Make sure you update it too.
maybe. Although there are some viruses that could survive a harddisk reformatting, the majority of viruses is harddisk based virus, and thus would be wiped out if the harddisk is reformatted.



Be sure to:



1. Backup any important data, IMPORTANT ONLY.



2. Make a flash disk or burn a CD filled with a firewall installer (recommended: Zone Alarm http://www.zonelabs.com/ ), Antivirus (recommended: AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ , Avast http://www.avast.com/), an alternative browser Firefox http://www.mozilla.com , preferably create these from a clean computer.

Is my yahoo IM get Hijack ?cafe racer



Wish I had an answer as the exact same thing is happening to me. In my instance it's logging off and loggong on every few minutes. Every so often I will the "...you have been loggged into another machine." Like you I thought my password may have been stolen somehow so I immediately changed my password, but I still experience the same thing. I have 2 computers and am experiencing similar results on both. Haven't tried a new ID yet, and haven't had any luck in finding resources, but am still looking. I have software/hardware firewalls, virus scanners, and all my wireless protocols are encrypted (not with WEP). This is a recent issue that just started out of the blue after yahoo officially moved all of us to the new mail system. Oh, and you gotta love those automated responses from yahoo. If anyone else has run into this and tried other things to try to resolve it or at least narrow it down the info would be helpful.

If I am on any computer other than my own, and I open up infected e-mail (the mail contains a Virus)

infect my computer at home? I know this sounds stupid but I am always getting virus' even wihen I buy software to prevent it. Oh, how can I tell if I downloaded something on to a flash drive or cd, or floppy if it is infected?. Cost me a bundle to D'bug my computer and would like to keep it safe. Any suggestions? Seriously if you know how to keep a computer clean I would love to hear your suggestions. My X ol' man used to spend at least an hour a day checking and downloading anti-whatever wear, and I don't think that computers are supposed to use up our time, I thought they were supposed to save us time. I guess I am niave as I thought computers were like the President of the United States, that they were both supposed to be working for us!



If I am on any computer other than my own, and I open up infected e-mail (the mail contains a Virus) does it?computer repair



You can always get your antivirus to scan the download before you open it. But unfortunatly you do need to download it on to your computer. Most viruses do not become active until you open it. So all you need to do is right click on the download and select Scan with (whatever antivirus software you are running)



This will tell you if you have a virus before you infect your whole computer. I hope this helps you

Use these scans to remove it , both are free.



Spybot - Search %26 Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S%26D is free.

Does my computer REALLY have a virus?

My laptop is a couple years old, and I thought I had renewed my norton.. apparently not. I keep getting "balloons" in the bottom right hand cornor of the screen saying my computer is infected, and if I try to close it, I get an internet pop-up for some anti-spyware it wants me to buy and download (Always a different brand). I don't know which to get.. or if I should even get one, maybe it's just a fake software that's really a virus itself? I don' t know, I deleted cookies %26 temp files, and it seemed to help for a couple days, now it's back. What is going on?! Please help...



Does my computer REALLY have a virus?computer virus



It sounds like you have adware on your computer. Especially since you keep getting advertisements to pop up asking you to buy software that will help you get rid of it.



My recommendation is get Mozilla Firefox if you haven't already. And google AdAware SE Personal, by Lavasoft. It's not like webroot's spysweeper, but does a good job in removing adware from your PC without always running in the background like webroot.



Both AdAware SE Personal, and Firefox are free on the net. They are also very easy to setup. The reason why I mention using Firefox over Internet Explorer is that, it's safer, secure, and you can modd it heavily.

Virus (backdoor trojan?)?

My computer was infected with SOMETHING. Random websites and fake alerts popped up, and so I downloaded a trial of an Anti-Spyware that someone recommended in another question. Scanned the computer, it found a bunch of infected files, those were all deleted. After this the computer is fine, until I plug it back into the internet and click on internet explorer, at which point everything becomes messed up again. There are a bunch of fake warnings about viruses that tell me to download software that actually turns out to be a virus.



I have no idea what to do. I think I've actually found the problem files, but when I try to delete them, it says they're in use by another program. (Ironic, eh?)



At this point in my life, this is the very last thing I need. Does anyone know what to do?



Virus (backdoor trojan?)?computer



Try this solution, because the trojan is obviously reintroducing itself to your pc. First don't do trials, you want good programs that you can keep. Download Spyware Doctor Starter Edition and SuperAntispyware which are both completely free (no trials). Install then update both programs. Then disable system restore, reboot, then reenable it. This will remove any and all malware in your system restore points. Now take your computer off the internet and do full scans with each program. After the scans have completed, do a complete online scan of your pc from the Trend Micro Housecall website. It will remove any additional malware from your pc. Depending on the exact malware you are infected with you might have to scan your pc with the spyware doctor and superantispyware in safe mode (after reboot hit f8, repeatedly). Also if you don't have a good antivirus software installed I would highly recommednd the use of Antivir which is free and an excellent antivirus program.

Does anyone know how to get rid of a parasite AKA virus called DOWNLOADER?

This is a very nasty parasite ( SPYAWRE ) AKA VIRUS that finds loopholes in your computers' HKEY ( S ) and ROOTS. Once it is in your computer, it slows your computer down and wants you to download one of its' several programs so it can take over your computer. Microsoft Milacious Software Removal Tool , TREND, AVG ( Anti-VirusGaurd ), Spybot - Seek %26 Destroy, Ad-Aware SE PERSONAL Spy-ware removal, NORTON Spyware Scan, WINDOWS DEFENDER and Charter Communications Security Center WILL NOT get rid of this big problem.

Antivirus/Antispyware programs?

For the home user, what benefits are there (if any) of purchasing anti spyware and antivirus software? There are a number of brands of virus software available for free, but are they really any good?



Antivirus/Antispyware programs?downloads



The free version of AVG ( http://free.grisoft.com ) is quite decent for the home user.



If you think Avg is good enough for you, there is no need to purchase a license for another program.



But antivirus is the most important program of your computer, so you should really think about if it's worth saving a couple of bucks. Find one your comfortable with and stick with that, whether it's free or paid.



For anti spyware, there are so many freeware alternatives, so there is deffently no need to purchase that.



A couple of examples are

What's a good antivirus to use other than Norton?

I've been using Norton for about 18 months now and I've had 2 virus infections that Norton wasn't able to get rid off. I don't remember how i got rid of the 1st one, but about 2 month's ago I got some virus that Norton pops a "Virus Alert" for [Backdoor.IRC.Aladinz.R] but can't get rid off. I tried removing the virus following the instructions on their site but nothing!



I'm thinking of just reinstalling windows and deleting everything.



Anyway, Norton subscription already expried a couple of weeks ago and I don't plan to renew it or reinstall it. The anti-virus that came w/ Yahoo! DSL didn't work for anything either, it just give virus warnings/alerts but can't remove...

My recycling bin dont work.?

I run Win XP. I have 8 files in my recycling bin (RB) but they are hidden. so i went into the tools to unhide them and there still didnt show up. ive tried to use "empty the RB" from right clicking and n e other way i can think of. but still it says i have 8 items in there. When i delete a file its gone from my computer but it is not in my RB. Ive ran Virus scans and anti-spam software and nothing comes up. This has been a problem for a while now and its not effecting the performance of my computer. Does any one have a fix for this annoyance? or does any one know if my files I have deleted are just stored somewhere else taking up space?



My recycling bin dont work.?firewall



Just a thought, I'm assuming you've enabled show hidden/system files in your view options in Explorer at this point.



Go to your C: drive and open up the folder RECYCLED perhaps you may find them in there, rather than the "default" interface for your RB.

you might have to check your RAM memory



for games like bf2 and hl2...you need atleast 512 MB or more.



if you don't have enough...then upgrade your memory



you can check your memory by right clicking on My computer and click on properties, under general tab you will see how much your computer has.



OR



you might or might not have viruses, but do check if your virus definitions are updated...



OR



you might have spyware, spyware usually is the primary reason for computers to slow down. you can get spyware just by even browsing the net.
