  Computer was hijacked yesterday with "XP security alert" want to pay me to analysis and clean. Knew it was funny. Managed to get rid of the virus (in appearance) and did a system restore. Since then, have been opening several programs such as anti-virus, security, most of the elements in the Panel of control etc. Always can access internet, but only through IE and Mozilla not. Cannot open Outlook Express and need to connect to the sky for e-mail. Impossible to download and run programs as computer application which program I use to open or run the said downloads.  Help!

  It would seem that your registry database has been changed in order to disable the functioning of all. EXE file. You need to restore it, but cannot use regedit.exe to do. Solution: make a copy of the regedit.exe regedit.comappointed.

  Open a command prompt by typing the Windows key + R and type cmd then hit . Type in this commnd:

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

  ... and click on . Next type:

  Start regedit.com

  ... and click on .

  In the RegEdit program, navigate to the registry:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command

  In the right pane, double-click the (default) value. Delete the current value data, and then type:

  "%1" %*

  (i.e.: quote-percent-one-quote-space-percent-asterisk)
   
  Close the Regedit utility. Your. EXE files must be start normally now. If the problem persists, or redone surface shortly after this procedure, your computer is still infected. In any event, the execution of full scans with MalwareBytes and your own virus anyti is recommended.

  The complete procedure (for XP) is detailed here.

• I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password

  original title: help please!

  I have windows vista on my acer aspire 5517 I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password... I don't have a dics in it plese... I need help ASAP

  Next time please post in a forum of Vista. This one is for Windows 7. But since you're here:

  You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent asmuTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

• Do installed Windows updates remain intact after back by using the system restore?

  I installed the Windows updates at the same time, I've updated my antivirus software, and now when I try to delete a message from Inbox in Outlook 2007 by using the DELETE key on my keyboard, Outlook crashes.  I am trying to determine if this problem was caused by the updates of Windows/Outlook or the update of the antivirus software.  I did a system restore to an earlier date to do all the updates and the Outlook/remove key question has disappeared.  Even though I know that system restore has removed the antivirus update, I don't know if he removed the updates of Windows/Outlook.  Just try to understand that you caused the problem key to delete.  Strange problem, huh?

• Did a system restore... and now it won't let me connect?

  I did a system restore because some programs running properly, running extremely slow, and he said that my CPU usage was 100%. Theere was that a program works do not, so I restored my computer to the last date, I knew that it worked properly, (10/7-only half the program worked), she let me open a session and was much faster, but none of the programs were working now. So I restored as of today, and he let me not open a session. But worked in the same way as it did before the system restore. So, since then, the program worked correctly 10/06 all day, I decided to restore it to the 10/6 No 7/10 as before. Now it won't let me even open a session. When I click on my user name and put my password, it says ' system will not connect PC20 is not available. I tried F8 safe mode, safe mode with network, last known good configuration,... etc. Nothing works. Not even as an administrator. What can I do?
