After got rid of the virus Fake system restore Windows, how can I restore my hidden files, folders and shortcuts?

It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check

Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

Download and run SuperAntiSpyware (Free Edition)

  • just has got rid of the virus and responsible for all the disks but given the wifi does not work

    WiFi doesn't work do not

    just has got rid of the virus and responsible for all the disks but given the wifi does not work

    Hello

    Check with the system manufacturer or the actual WiFi device manufacturer and ask in their forums (if any)
    for problems known.

    Actually, try updating your driver:

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

  • How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

    How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

    After I enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in 'Advanced settings', I can't yet see in the folder but I know there is a file in this program of WinRAR folder form as pictured below where I opened the case both at the same time.

    Hope you can help in this case...

    It would be possible that the file is marked as a system folder (which is just a check box in properties such as the hidden check box). So in your folder options, uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" and see if it will be visible.

    Or another thing to try: remonter back a level, hold down SHIFT while you right-click the complete file and choose "Open command window here", then type DIR to see if the file is listed.

  • Lack of folders/files-System Restore - more missing files/folders

    Hello!

    I would appreciate help to find my files and folders missing if possible.

    I am running windows Vista version 6.0, service Pack2.

    I started windows and noticed that 5 of my office files are missing, and all files contained in. A search for the names of document and file returned nothing (even with advanced search options). One of the missing records was called "term 1". I created a new folder and tried to change the name in term 1. A popup told me this (office) file contained already a folder named "term 1" - I wanted to merge these files? I was puzzled, because I could see is no longer the original record of the term 1. I clicked 'Yes' in the hope that a merger would result in a visible folder 1 term, but now two records have disappeared. After some intensive research, I couldn't find the files/folders that were missing. I must point out that not all the files/folders disappeared.

    I restored my computer to a previous checkpoint (since 2 days after a windows update). After the reboot, I got a message that the restore has failed. I remembered that this can occur because of an AV, so I disabled Norton. At this point, all of my files and folders Office disappeared, apart from the default windows desktop icons. A search gave no results. I tried to cancel the restoration, which has been a success, but none of the files/folders not returned. I then tried to do a restore to a control point from before the update of windows. This succeeded, but more folders/files have disappeared. Ouch. I can still access those appearing in the Panel of my 'recent articles', but when I try re - record, I get a warning of "the file is read-only / Normal doc.

    What have I done? Can we do anything to restore my files? Curiously, a few random documents and most of the settings are still intact. I noticed that my quick launch buttons are gone if it means something.

    Any help/direction would be wonderful.

    Thanks in advance,

    Meegss

    SOLVED! It was the question. Thank you.

  • I tried to get rid of a certain toobar and accidentally got rid of one with folder, tools, etc. How can I get it back?

    I got a toolbar at the top of the Firefox page which had a single thing about it and I wanted to close or delete this toolbar, and I have deleted or closed that bad. Now, one with file, editing, tools, etc. is missing and I don't know how to get it back. Can you help me?

    Pressing Alt poster temporarily the menu bar, the other keys select the option set menu toolbar to display bar.

    It should still work in Firefox 4, which has a firefox button, Alt temporarily displays the menu and the firefox button bar.

    According to what has happened, you will need to use customize/customize to make other changes or even restore default, perhaps even to start Firefox in Safe Mode troubleshooting questions or study if another plugin affecting behavior of firefox.

  • permission issues after got rid of vista home security 2012 virus

    Recently, got rid of the virus Vista Home security 2012. Since then, two of my hard drives (one containing windows) are randomly preventing me access to various programs, including the Windows Security Center.

    I get the message "Windows cannot access the specific device, file, or the path. Maybe not permissions to access you the item"trying to open the example Security Center. I tried several times to change the property on fade away, with limited success. When you change the permissions, I get a pop-up saying "X" file could not be changed to the denial of access. I'll stop playing with the settings, cause in my opinion, I'm the makes it worse.

    I have windows vista Ultimate edition, updated to the most recent, AFAIK.

    Hello


    (1) what anti-virus program you use to remove the virus from 2012 of security in vista home?

    To work with this problem, refer to these methods.

    Step 1:

    Perform a restore of the system to a point before the virus infection occurred.
     
    Step 2:

    Perform system restore can bring back the virus. To be on the safer side, it is suggested that you run a computer virus scan after the system restore.

    I suggest you run an antivirus scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner to confirm that your computer is free from any infection by the virus. Please find the link below.
     
    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
    The Microsoft Safety Scanner is not a replacement for the use of antivirus software that offers continuous protection.

  • cannot restore from the previous date says computer is unprotected I just get rid of the virus of audit system

    rid of virus check system but cannot restore the computer to the previous date

    You never said how you got rid of the "System Check" malware. As far as we know, he is still there. Follow these instructions (if you have not already done so):

    Also, as Jose pointed out, there are programs that are designed to interfere with the system restore (Norton is one of the most common). But there are really two questions. First of all, we will treat your malware problem. We can always revisit SR at a later date.
    Finally, even once as Jose pointed out, you NEVER run the system restore after the removal of the malware! Which could only bring him back! That you have to turn it off and then put it again, which will REMOVE all previous restore points. You really all gone!

    copy c:\windows\regedit.exe regedit.com
