  • Problem of viruses and problems to enter windows, after restoring the computer to a past date

    I recently got a virus on my computer, so rather than use my malwarebytes program to remove, so I tried to restore my computer to an earlier date, when I turned the computer back on it gave me a black screen with white text popping up every few seconds, how to do back in windows so I can try to get rid of this virus?

    Hello

    Try the methods provided below and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode with network and then try to download and run a full scan of the system using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note:

    The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Runtime error in Mozilla after restoring computer to an earlier date,

    I recently had to restore my computer to an earlier date. In doing so, Firefox went from 38.0.1 to 37.0.2. Now, I get the error "cannot find Mozilla runtime. I am out, trying to find a way to fix it. I have quite a few bookmarks that I prefer not to lose. I thought I could import to Internet Explorer but not had any luck with either. Have no solution? Thank you. I am posting this on another computer where is the problem. This computer is running Windows 8.1.

    Using the system restore can cause your installation of Firefox get corrupted because only the whitelist files are restored, so always be careful with the system restore function.

    • You may lose data in the profile Firefox as of .js and .ini files folder
    • You may need to reinstall the affected software

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  • How to remove a Trojan virus

    I opened Safari and immediately he began by a screen of loading with a pop-up window and a voice saying: "please contact this number" I forced Safari leave immediately and have an anti virus scan and it came with 7 virus - namely VBA:Downloader - AOV, others were the same, but different three-letter.  Anyone know how to remove the Trojan virus. The work computer use AVAST for mac as anti virus, and I do not know how to remove them.

    ClamXav lets you remove them, or if you know where are the files that contain them, remove them in the Finder.

  • Not will not be up-to-date and exe. files as well as several other programs won't work after that I removed the Trojan horses today.

    I have two problems that first will not to day and exe. files as well as several other programs will not work after removing six Trojans today. I got the old fake security / you're not protected message led me to run McAfee and anti-malware that I solved the problem. It allowed me to meet Explorer but I tried to open the accessories of the calculator and it will not work, nor will my Rossetta stone. I can open these types of files under other users account on this computer. Help please.

    I suggest that you create a new user account for yourself (save all your files first of all that I hope are not damaged etc.). Then, you delete the old user account (but keep the files). Probably most of the programs have been installed for all users, so it should not be (I hope) a problem.

    Recently had to clean a computer infected with one of these software etc. rogue security and creating a new account (Administrator) so that the user has finished up and transfer its files to the new account. He was lucky. I hope you are too.

    Perhaps others may have other suggestions for you.

    Please make sure that the computer is clean of any infection etc.

  • Update Microsoft Security Essentials removed

    Original title: Microsoft Security Essentials

    I use Windows 7 and Office 2007.  Microsoft Security Essentials asked me if I wanted to update the program.  The updated program was a digital signature from Microsoft.  Everything seemed to go well and when the download is complete, it asked me to restart my computer.  After the restart, Security Essentials has completely disappeared from my computer.

    If that's the problem with Microsoft Security Essentials, then try to install it from:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx

    Also, check in the start menu and see if you can open it or not

    And if still problem then contact support:

  • I get a pop for Security Essentials. I had install. How can I get rid of the Pop up?

    Help me...

    FYI: I uninstalled security essentials. and it worked :)

  • After fighting a multitude of Trojans, viruses and spyware, I can't connect to Windows Update and don't worry I'm still infected!

    So I'm trying to save my dad's computer (and its files + settings) after that he was struck with a variety of bad guys: Alureon, FakeSysDef, Blacole, Gen-Nullo, difficulty system, etc..

    Has finally got the office programs and files back after the entire MBAM, TDSSKiller, SuperAntiSpyware, etc., of jazz, but STILL not get things all the way back to the normal and good scans with MSSE, MBAM and MS Security Scanner are clean, I am afraid that the computer is always infested with something or the other...  (mainly due to my inability to use / access Windows Update: receive the 0x800A0046 error code AND get it published (feat of Java Blacole) out of a Flash drive, I used my system between the two machines... stupid, I know)

    so, here are the details: Dell XPS: Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3: seems to have been hit in early November that there is no fixes/updates after 11/14 or more.

    I told him years not to run multiple antivirus + spyware programs at the same time, but he ignored me consistently.  I have since completely uninstalled Norton (using their removal tool on a newly created user account, as I couldn't make it work on sound - both are admin ETCA) and Webroot and installed MSSE.  At one point he swindled with system security 2011 and from there installed PC Fix, difficulty system and any other fake antivirus, it can click.  When the first infestation (before everything went to sh * t) I was takled him thanks to a restoration system and scan... About a week later, he ignored previous orders on not clicking or not to install anything without calling me everything first and got the rest of them (see list above).

    This time, we could not access any program, web page, without failure, System Restore, its own user account, etc etc.  Somehow (with MBAM, TDSSKiller, etc) I entered the computer, installed process explorer, started the happy hunting and following 'view' & restore icons/programs/etc.  And yet we always face the dilemma of Windows Update, the loss of its sites Favorites/tabs, loss of / NO content in administrative tools (both through the control panel and Start Menu: file is empty when it is open) and inability to use the system restore.

    I found this thread ( http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/windows-update-not-working-ie8xphome-error/db7956c9-d77c-e011-9b4b-68b599b31bf5 ) in which the fellow was in THE SAME EXACT POSITION I'm NOW - for a tee - who said: "those who would be interested - this problem has been resolved by an engineer from climbing on the Team Support of Windows XP.  It was "Removing Group Policy" through a registry fix, "Reloading safety model" via several downloads and finally run a .bat file also downloaded. "So I guess I need help do the same.

    Can someone help me or offer any other advice or assistance to get this sorted out?  Thank you in advance for anything you can do!

    See you soon,.

    Katherine

    Hi Mike,.

    Yes, I tried all these steps without success...

    Buuuuut...

    I ended up calling the Microsoft's Technet support, which helped me to identify two registry entries that the horde of virus/trojan/rootkit had created changed, that I had not already taken AND finished the download of some clever little program (difficulty WU Utility I think?) which allowed me to reset + reregister the BITs, cryptographic, & System Restore services...  That did the trick (although, as far as I know; dear ol ' pop reported no problems at the moment ;-))

    Thank you Jeebus! Laughing out loud

    See you soon,.

    See the link and check if it helps:

    Method 2:

    Try to run Microsoft Safety Scanner for any malware or spyware infection and check if it helps.

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 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 data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
