Accidentally let a virus scan, what now?
Unfortunately, I am new to the mac community. I received a message saying "VIRUS DETECTED" in Safari. He wanted to scan my computer for viruses. I thought it to be real and let it scan my computer. He said "scanning documents" and other info from my mac. However, did not go further. I left out of it. I'm afraid now that the virus has all my personal information. I don't know what to do. Please help me!
Download and run this:
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
There is really no viruses for a Mac but it is malware and adware.
However, they could have installed a key logger. I would boot to recovery
OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support
then format the HD and restore from a backup that was made before allowing you the analysis

Accidentally deleted a folder. What now?

"Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
the unrecoverable file.So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
be very poor now.But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
http://www3.TELUS.NET/mikebike/restoration.html but there are several
others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer and bring
it to you on a floppy disk, CD or USB to try.If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
expensive and may or may not work in your case.Ken Blake

Computer malfunctioning. Virus scan says there are a lot of questions. What does that mean?
Original title: question about itemsMy computer is not working properly, so I scan for viruses and spyware. When the scan is finished, he said as he scanned 496 117 points. What are ALL these? I have nothing really saved that I know, about 150 songs and some programs, but nothing like this! Where can I find them or do I even have to remove them? Thanks in advance for any help!
I'm speculating here. But he sounds the alarm when reading your post. So, I have to answer this. If I am mistaken, my apologies.
What did you use to search for viruses?
You go to the site and use one of these 'free scanning' offer?
And done at the end of scanning, in addition to tell you that you have zillions of viruses, it is also suggested that you buy a product to get rid of the virus?If that were the case, it was a centuries-old scam. Don't fall for it.
Install one of the programs legitimate AV (antivirus), use it to the anti-virus scanning, do not scan virus online. (except Windows Live OneCare, which is legitimate).
Here are 2 free programs that you can choose. They are one of the best:
Free avast home edition
Microsoft Security Essentials. -
My machine suddenly began to access the internet every few seconds.

Help, please! My computer freezes whenever I try to run a full scan or use the MS defrag it came with. I have an important job who needs to back up, but I'm afraid that I shouldn't be where it is a virus. I would really appreciate the help.
Details:
Windows XP Home Edition
Microsoft Windows
Version 5.1 (... Service Pack 3)Current system:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3Fujitsu Siemens Computers
Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 CPU
T7200 @ 2.00 GB of RAMInfo of current Disk Defragmenter:
C: NTFS 112 free capacity space 47 GB space 43%
(Was only 15% of free space at the beginning of the problems, before I removed or reduced the old files)Antivirus:
Originally from Norton 2006, now uninstalled and replaced with the current Microsoft Security EssentialsBrowser: firefox version 3.5.9 (IE too but do not use)
The story so far:
FIRST PROBLEM: ACCIDENTS CAUSING SLEEP/HIBERNATE / SCREENSAVER?
I am back from vacation and turned on my computer. Soon, he wanted to upgrade me to the latest Firefox (must have been 3.6?). He may have also updated my windows automatically. Then whenever the standby/hibernation/standby screen came (not sure what was the culprit), the computer would crash - I would just get a gray screen when I tried to find by moving the mouse.'SOLVED' BY:
I restored the system to a few points saved from before I agreed to install the new firefox. I also stopped the computer goes on standby or into hibernation. I couldn't work on how to disable the screen saver. Standby/hibernation/standby order screen blocks the computer after that, and I took care not to upgrade to firefox 3.6, once again just in case, stay with the version that I was on, but continued to accept upgrades (now on 3.5.9). I have always been accepting the automatic updates of windows however, because I was told that I should do.UNRESOLVED ISSUE: ANTI-VIRUS AND DEFRAGMENTATION DOWN EACH RUN
So, I now had a more usable computer. I tried to check virus, but the virus check (Norton, 2006) would be broken whenever I tried to do a full audit. I analyzed in the MS Defrag tool that came with my computer and I saw that I had 15% free space, so I tried to Defrag. Defragmentation has also crushed every time, usually at 3%.26 January:
CRASHED ON THESE FILES:
-Defrag crashed on A0044502.rbf
-(J'ai remarqué que le nom était semblable à celle de la vérification de virus s'est écrasée avant)
-Defrag then crashed over the other in a different file type, but I didn't note it (tmp.edb?)
-Defrag crashed on C:/System volume information/_RESTO~1/RP320/A0045026.rbf (I think that virus check then crashed on this one too)
-virus scan crashed on A0045030.rbfI ran cmd chkdsk_/f, as told to a friend. He made 3 times and the screen went too fast to see writes said before he started.
-defragged once again, it crashed on A0045107.rbf
CLEANUP TO FREE UP SPACE FOR SPRING:
I then had the end of emergency work, so did not have to try to solve this problem for weeks. I just don't have the virus scan and did not try to defragment, therefore had no crashes. When I had spare time, I went through removing unnecessary programs, deleting unnecessary files of old works and by reducing the great graphics work at smaller sizes. At the time I had finished my rush job and could return to the problem, I got 43% free space.Wednesday, April 8:
BACK TO ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
-J' uninstalled Norton 2006 and then installed Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it would take viruses. QuickScan revealed no. Full analysis has crashed every time unfortunately.
9 April:
-CHKDSK C: /f or crashed was working incredibly slow (1/2 hour on the same file) both times I tried to do. Both times it crashed on 66% to check the data of the file (4 of 5)
SFC - typed term: the black box will Flash up but then disappears so fast, you can hardly see. Nothing else happens. I tried several times.
-J' restarted the computer in "safe mode with command prompt" and tried SFC/scannow and got the following error:
"Windows file protection could not initialize a scan of protected system files.
The specific error code is 0x000006ba [the RPC server is unavailable]. »
-J' rebooted 'safe mode' and typed SFC term. Same thing happened as has happened before in the windows.
-J' rebooted 'safe mode' and tried a full analysis of the MSE virus. After an hour of working, it crashed in this file: C:/System Volume Information/_restore{5C5FC002-5FB5-4560-96DA-E32D8569FB2E}/RP320/A0045038.rbf. This happened just after I clicked on a tiny with my notes Notepad document, although I don't know if that's what he did or has not already been blocked. I managed to take a break and he reactivated just before it crashed. The complete virus check was almost over, guessing 80% to the green bar.
-J' tried to Defrag in 'safe mode', which soon crushed on C:... A0070595. MSI
All these accidents April just cause the screen appearing to freeze because the virus check or defrag did not move from the file it says that it was on... then when I would try to stop it, the screen completely freezes so I have to manually shut down.Please help me solve this problem! Should I save my work? If I back up and there is a virus, then my backup external hard drive could be infected. But if I do not support, I could lose a lot of work.
Thank you very much.
Speedlauncher Adobe is a legitimate program, while orangefirefox.exe presents itself as an infection by the worm on a google search.
It's a little unusual that Kaspersky would freeze even in SafeMode... perhaps running a chkdsk might help take the files that programs AV and defrag crash on: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265
You may disable the system restore: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 and this should get rid of all the restore points and then hopefully no longer break when scanning, but make sure you turn it!
But sometimes I come across systems that had infections as well as at the end of all the damage that has been caused, it is better just to do a reinstall.

So, my computer has a virus moneypak and ontop of the said virus pro safety. And I can't download any anti-virus scan malware to get rid of them due to my failure of security scanning. So I went to check on my Microsoft Security databases to see what is happening, and it will not even open! Whenever I click it, it says "You don't have the right permission to open" (my security essential has been like that for maybe a week now. and I just received today two viruses) while I try to uninstall, but it won't allow me because of something not having the right to access and contact an administrator. So I can't open the MSE, can't uninstall it, can not download any virus anti-malware to get rid of the moneypak and pro. I'm so lost, please any suggestion on what I can do to fix my computer would be greatly appreciated!

The purpose of doing a virus scan after Windows starts in safe mode?
I've heard some suggestions that, in certain circumstances, it is best to do a virus scan after Windows starts in safe mode. So I have two questions:
(1) would what type of circumstances you perform a scan antivirus in safe mode?
(2) what are the advantages or disadvantages?
I have found no reliable info that answers to these questions and would be grateful for any info, or even just a point in the right direction.
Thank you!
Hello
The advantage is that some process and services are not loaded in Mode without failure there is less chance
This malware can load and interfere with the process. The downside is the same if its best
to run the malware checks mode safe and then in Windows. Or run in Windows and as appropriate
difficult to remove malware is detected then run in Mode safe, then in Windows.If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not
