• 'Virus protection' Virus has taken over my computer at startup

  Virus protection has taken over on my other computer at startup.  It is the only screen I can access.  It seems to be a fake virus scan and it asks for $49.99 to clean the system.  I can't access anything else to remove it.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

  I have a solution!  This has terrified my machine all morning, but I was able to do a system restore using the command prompt... Thanks to Douglas!

• It is typical for firefox send an alert virus with a phone # to call to solve the problem?

  I got a warning on my computer today saying that my computer was threatened by a virus. The warning gave a phone number I should call and give me instructions on how to remove the virus. I'm afraid that this warning is actually a scam if I don't want to call the provided number unless I can verify that it is legitimate. Can you check that it is, or is not, normal for firefox to warn a virus and provide a phone number for the user to call?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  It is a scam, do not contact the number. If you have the link, you can report it to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center:

  • http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

  To block this kind of pop-up windows, consider using extensions such as Adblock Plus

  To check if you are infected with virus/malware, you can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

• How to get rid of the fake windows security alert virus

  There was a virus on my laptop in the last two months. on the bottom taskbar, there's a red 'x' icon shield and whenever I try to go it takes me to the esentials Security page and he said: "the Security Center service is disabled" and it lights whenever I try to turn it on. also it doesn't let me access the internet or try to restore the laptop. I tried all solvents of spyware as spyware doctor and malware bytes, but it seems that I still have not had the problem again. help because this situation is greatly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  One way to solve the problem would be to backup your important data (redundancy) and then re - install
  Windows after formatting the drive. Check with the manufacturer of your system's support to see what you need to do
  that (and you probably already have what is necessary). You can buy the installation discs for Windows in the system
  machine cheaply if necessary since you already own windows.

  =====================================

  Another method would be to ensure that the malware is detected and deleted with internet access being
  restored.

  Try typing several times F8 as you start and select a Safe Mode with networking. If that works to proceed to the
  methods below. (You can try wired access and wireless if you have both available). If this does not work
  then use another computer to download the drivers and the necessary programs and transfer them to your machine
  on removable media.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however you must also run them
  the Windows when you can.

  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

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

• Windows 7 is not genuine, once the computer has been infected by the virus of Ransomware

  Please can I have help from someone.

  Some time ago I was surfing the net when I came across a website, my naiveté made me click on it only to be greeted by a virus. The round about three months my computer was inaccessible. So I left him alone. To unlock a sum of £100 to be paid. I have it has not paid and after the months I had access to my computer again. But all was not how I expected I would soon find a virus, which Windows Security Essentials found and eliminated, thus to discover my version of Windows was not legitimate. So a ball of activation popped up and told me that within thirty days in that my windows activation key should be included. But as I've already said, I had a good no hacked legitimate version of windows before the incident.

  So now all I ask if this can be taken seriously until I spent the time to write this, hope that my problem could be solved.

• Trying to remove virus format hard drive - when booting from the Windows XP CD, don't teach me to press a button to proceed with the installation?

  Trying to remove virus, need to format the hard drive to remove all programs to remove the virus.  I ran several security programs which has not found a virus.  Taken at Best Buy, they ran their programs, could not detect viruses, but said there are something certainly on my system.  System is pegged almost 100% all the time, so I can't really use the pc.

  Reinstalling the operating system is usually not necessary to remove the malware, but if you're convinced that this is necessary (it is sometimes), this guide is a good:

  http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

  (this assumes that you have the appropriate Windows XP installation CD)

  Of course, you will need to boot from the CD instead of the hard drive. This page explains that:

  http://michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm

  You also need to install the hardware drivers. I hope that you have them on CD, too. If this is not the case, the web site of the manufacturer of PC should have them.

  Since a clean install wipes EVERYTHING, you should have all your data copied beforehand.

• How to get Adobe support to take seriously my activation problems?

  Monday, I took delivery of a brand new MacBook Pro 17 'refurb' "from Apple. Once I did the initial recording with Apple, I swapped the boot drive to a Samsung 512 GB SSD and installed all my software, including Creative Cloud CS6.

  Because I had CC installed on my iMac and my old MacBook Pro, I got this dialog box...

  

  In my naiveté, I assumed that hit 'Continue' was a valid action and support (I mean, that's what he said, right?) So I did, and everything seemed fine.

  Unfortunately, tonight the new MacBook Pro's dead (with a supply problem power not related to the upgrade of my SSD). Fortunately for me, the hours I had spent editing software have not squandered as I could remove the SSD drive, pop in a USB caddy and start my old MacBook Pro to it.

  At this stage, to leave Photoshop triggered the same dialog as above, but because that who had worked before, I naively hit continue, entered my details, and everything was fine.

  Maybe I should explain one of my SSD performance tests was to load a 200M in PhotoShop pixel image.

  I found that as a USB drive, the two start and Photoshop were quite a bit slower. I tried on my iMac too. Finally, I tried to install the SSD drive in my old MacBook Pro (there fast, but I got a kernel panic after a while).

  A replacement new refurb MacBook Pro arrived Wednesday, so once I had recorded it I jumped the SSD inside, and it has been fine since. Except that I didn't get Creative cloud to activate. When I hit continue and enter my details, I get now...

  

  I found that the problem persisted, so I contacted the support, and this is where the nightmare really began. I have since clocked up about 4 hours of online chat and phone calls with Adobe personnel, and they have been unable to solve the problem.

  I have now explained my story several times to various Adobe employees, and they have made some promises that they have failed to keep (for example as a return call me or send me updates).

  At least one person suggested that I should wait 72 hours for the question clear, and that I should use an activation of the trial in the meantime. He tried to show me how to rename a file cache PCM, which he did not get quite right, but that did not work even when I worked out how to do.

  My supscription is released, but I don't have access to the software I paid for. I only followed management dialog boxes which has provided Adobe software. I have not tried to use the software on two machines.

  I am extremely frustrated. I asked Adobe to escallate staff the issue, and they say they have, but nothing has changed. I said I would raise a formal complaint, but it fell on deaf ears. I think that Adobe have a lot to learn from Apple in terms of customer service. It took Apple less than two days to get to the top and the race, and that includes shipping for me new material!

  In desperation, I turned on this forum for help.

  Do you know how to make it work?

  Do you know how to get Adobe to take you seriously?

  Who do I complain, such that my situation is taken seriously?

  I feel that there are some problems with the new cloud activation software. I've certainly had some funnies la for a few months, but this is the first time I've been permanently locked out software I paid for.

  Yes, I may be naïve hitting continue so many times, but I was only doing what the software proposed and not breaking licensing rules.

  Help!

  p.s. If you're an Adobe employee, my file number is #0183343577 (and please note that your registered colleague incorrectly that as a matter of MC 5.5)

  Finally got through to someone who was able and willing to help me (even if I had to call again). The eventual solution was some turn to their end and then by activating a different product (Acrobat Pro) at the mine. This seemed to undo the impasse, and I was able to get all creative applications CS6 Cloud enabled on my two machines.

  It seems that you really have to be really determined to be a customer of Adobe. It took more than 5 hours of my time to fix and as many days. Apple could fix my problem of material within 48 hours. Come on Adobe, you're better than this!

• The current theme does not support Aero.

  Original title: Aero problems and taskbar changing colors.

  When I got to my laptop, I could use Aero and my Taskbar change color whenever I tried to change. I got a virus in sort of a thing that I downloaded online, and now I can't get my laptop Aero and I can't change my taskbars colors more.

  I troubleshooted it a few times, and this is what happens.

  The current theme does not support Aero

  and

  Director of Windows desktop is disabled (which is not..)

  Hi Hammyobob,

  Looks like the infection by the virus has taken its toll. The following suggestion may help you recover Aero on the computer.

  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following windows Help article.

  Back up the registry

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

  Steps to follow:

  a. go to start and type regedit.exe.

  b. navigate to the registry key next:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER

  c. If the DWM registry key is not found, right click on Windows, and then select New -> key to create the new branch and name it as DWM.

  d. in the details pane on the right, create a new DWORD (32-bit value) named UseMachineCheck, and set its value to 0.

  e. in the details pane on the right, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value namedblur, and set its value to 0.

  f. in the details pane on the right, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value namedAnimations, and set its value to 0.

  g. restart the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager in Services in Control Panel (type Services.msc in start search), or run the following commands in an command with administrator privileges prompt:

  net stop uxsms
  net start uxsms

  h. try to enable and apply Windows Aero in Windows 7. Restart the computer if necessary.

  This should be it.

  Kind regards
