• After removing a virus from my computer, I can't access any of my programs like Windows Media Player. Pop - up says choose program to open the file type.

  After removing a virus from my computer last year, I struggle to access most programs such as media player and other things.  When I try to open something, I get a popup asking me to choose the program I want to use to open this file. For some programs, this file is actually listed.  But for the most part, they did not.  For example, Nero express is what I use to copy CDs or DVDs.  I have to go into a safe mode to use it as well as using programs to run virus checks.  I was told that the virus had somehow corrupted or affected my file extensions.  I almost had cheated using powerful PC Max but did some research beforehand.  Any suggestions?

  original title: File Extension problems

  If you need to go to Safe Mode in order to use certain applications (for example, Nero Express), particularly antivirus scans, you most likely have not successfully removed all malware from your computer.

  How did you remove the virus from your computer last year?

  You then install an antivirus application?  Which one?  Are you still using it?  What's his current subscription? Its subscription has already been authorized expiration?

  What version of Windows, including service pack, do you use?

  What other anti-malware software do you currently use?

  Have you analysed recently with the following free tools?  Otherwise, download, install, update and run scans (not simultaneously) with each of them:
  MalwareBytes AntiMalware
  SUPERAntiSpyware
  Like many also restore file associations.

  • Right-click on a file and select open with > choose program.
  • Look in the lists of programs (split in 'Recommend programs' and 'Other programs')
  • If you can't find the application you want to use to open this type of file, click on the button "Browse".
  • The "Program Files" folder should open (if it isn't, go to C:\Program Files
  • Find the program you want to use.  If you are looking in C:\Program Files\------, you determine which file is the actual program.  You should be able to tell from the icon.  If not, see note below)
  • Select the program (the exe file or the name of the program in one of these lists) and check the box "always use the program selected to open this type of file"
  • Click OK
  • Repeat the above for each type of different file according to the needs

  Note: If you need to determine the EXE file for an application, just right-click on the shortcut you use to start the program, and then select Properties.  Click on the tab "shortcut".  The 'Target' box contains the path name to go to the executable (EXE file) for the program.   For example, the executable file for Firefox is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

  There are a few exceptions, including but not limited to Microsoft applications, which use a more obscure reference to the target.  Word, for example, indicates the 'target' as a 'Microsoft Office' gray of no matter the version.  The real exe for Word is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICEnn\WinWord.exe' where the nn refers to the version of Word that you have (Word XP/2002 is 10, Word 2003 is 11, Word 2007 is 12, Word 2010 is 14).

  If you need assistance with a shortcut that does not directly show the name of path, ask.

  Whenever I start ANY browser (Firefox, GoogleChrome...) Baidu opens as my home page.

  ------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• How to remove an item from the start menu in Windows 7?

  I tried to install a game written for an earlier version of Windows.  It did not work, but when I uninstalled the program, he left an icon in my Start menu.  I can't find a way to delete the item in my Start menu.

  If I click on the link, I get a message that says that this is not a valid Win32 application.

  If I right click on the link, I get options:
  Play
  Run as administrator
  More games from Microsoft
  Support
  PIN to the taskbar
  PIN to Start Menu
  Sort by name

  I miss the opportunity, we usually need to change the Menu start manually!

  I did all that, although I had to 'Show hidden files' in two different places, but the guarded program reappear, even after that I deleted everything that I could find that had "Lemmings" in there.  I had installed the program on the D drive and I could delete it, but the next time I saw the Start Menu, it would put a file on drive D named Lemmings Revolution.exe (with no data in this document, 0 bytes).

  I tried the support link from Microsoft and the thought that should work, but alas, I didn't have the product code to enter the FixIt program when asked.

  I finally took a huge risk Open regedit and then sought to any occurrence of the word "Lemmings".  I deleted everything in the registry that referenced "Lemmings", then returned to the D drive (in the command prompt) and deleted the above programme, after that I restarted my computer.

  So far, it seems to have solved the problem...

  (I knew after you remove some of the registry keys, one of the contained key code product I could entered the FixIt program, but by then I had already made changes.)

  Thanks to everyone who tried to help me!

• How to remove a Word from the default dictionary of firefox?

  How to remove a Word from the default dictionary of firefox?
  If I wanted to remove the word 'dog' or 'and' for example

  There may be a range of reasons for wanting to do this, including the deletion of the words you use rarely as similar to other common spellings used words for example. "minute" and "Minuet", delete the words that you find personally offensive, or removing words that, because of linguistic or cultural background, you would not consider words at all.

  Note that I'm not asking how to remove my 'dictionary' words, words that I added myself.

  Hello

  I talked to a few people and I think I'm able to help you with this.

  There are two dictionary files, the default that comes with your version of Firefox and personal 'custom' that you create yourself with phrases and words.

  If you want to change the personal;

  1. Copy Subject: support and paste into the address bar.
  2. Next to the profile folder, click the marked File Show
  3. Find the file persdict.dat. Rename a text file, open, modify, re save it as persdict.dat and replace.

  If you want to change the default dictionary, it could be more of a problem and a lot more technique to do. I would recommend that you look at the problem differently and consider filtering of pages based on inappropriate content using Add-ons such as ProCon Latte Content Filter.

  I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.
