Hello

No references on Google so probably malware. Could be part of a game or to pretend to be
which.

Here's something similar:

Xerces - c_2_7.dll 2.7
http://dllcentral.com/Xerces-c_2_7.dll/2.7/

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

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

  • Keep moving files arround and antivirus found nothing

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my files. It started with the files that I use constantly, so it took me longer to find this problem.

    So I have the usual folders in Vista: music, games, images,... but they moved, and I don't know I don't. The music folder has been moved in the Games folder, the download folder has been moved to the pictures folder and so on with my other records. What's worse, is that I can't bring back in the place which is theirs because the computer says that I have no administrator rights, but I am the administrator. I ran Kaspersky antivirus and it found no virus, this problem is growing since now most of the records have become subfolders in God knows where!

    What should I do? I really want to restart my computer.

    Hello

    Good and bad: good is that your solution installed antivirus found and deleted an infected file (the .dll file was the virus). The bad is that he did only half of employment, that is to say: he removed the infectious file, but not the entry of the charge he started every time that you start the computer.

    The good news is that it's usually easy to fix with one of the many startup monitor tools available. My suggestion would be to download Autoruns from the link below, then run to locate and remove the line that was trying to load this .dll file.

  • Antivirus on the guest operating system

    Hello:

    When the host operating system has an antivirus and is updated in the calendar, the guest operating system needs a separately installed antivirus? Because the internet connection through the host operating system, won't Take Care of any potential threat antivirus agenda

    ... no antivirus (host) take care of any potential threat?

    Not necessarily.  For example, if the virtual machine is set to bridged networking, then the virtual machine appears like any other physical machine on the network and is NOT protected by AV. host if you set NAT network, the host behaves as a personal router (e.g.: Linksys box.)  Always install you an AV on your computer, even if you have a hardware router.  So even for your virtual machine.

    Others will probably give many examples more and better than I, but as a general rule, treat your virtual machine just like any other machine.  If you have installed an AV on a physical machine with this OS, you must install an AV when the OS is virtual.

    My problem is two (or three) times; Windows Security arrested Esentials closed and not would again be turned on; Windows Security Center is disabled and will not respond to all the methods of the market; IE 8 sends all Google search clicks to redirect pages and makes the back browser arrow almost impossible to use. E-mail MSN will not accept all attachments - blocks the browser window.  I uninstalled Security Essentials and reinstalled nothing doesn't.  Have gone to Spybot and Adaware and installed these programs and run them to "clean" the everything unwanteds but re-boots of a Security Center right back.

    Hi ChazboK,

    1. are you able to send attachments to other webmail?
    2. What is the size of the attachment that you join?

    Note: you should never have more than one security program installed on the PC, providing active protection / scan. This can cause performance problems, system instability and may adversely affect the effectiveness of these two products to provide protection.

    Scenario 1:

    I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if the browser redirects.

    After reviewing the question you must reactivate the security on your computer program.

    Note: run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.

    Step 2:

    Second, the problem may be caused by an add-on corrupted in Internet Explorer. To confirm the same, run Internet Explorer in safe modules mode, and check if the problem persists.

    Open Internet Explorer in mode without modules,

    a. click the Start button, click all programs.
    b. click on accessories.
    c. click System Tools.
    d. then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    If disabling all add-ons solves the problem, you can use the add-on Manager to disable all add-ons and then turn on modules only as needed. This will allow you to figure out which add-on is causing the problem.

    Remove the damaged module and restart Internet Explorer normally and check if the problem reappears.

    After you have used this process to determine which add-on causes errors, you can disable this add-on. Or, you can uninstall the software that installs the add-on. We also recommend that you contact the software vendor that provided the add-on for additional troubleshooting and support.

    Step 3:

    If the method above does not resolve the problem, then I suggest you to perform an optimization of Internet Explorer on your computer and find the number.

  • Security issues with Zip files

    Let me start by saying that I have already disabled UAC on my Vista machine because I have trouble trying to do simple things like rename or delete a directory that I created.  Now, I have a problem with Zip files.  It seems that when I try to open a zip file that is sent to me by email I receive now an error message stating:

    Windows found that this file is potentially harmful.

    To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file.

    How does it help protect my computer?

    How indeed?  There is no option for me to go forward with this.  I'm trying like Vista, but these continuous dams to my productivity are killing me.  Can someone tell me how I can get it?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Rick

    Hi Rick,

    Your image has not come through.  What type of program you use for email? This happens with all files zip or just this one?

    Try to right click on the file and save it.  Scan it with your antivirus to make sure.  Right-click on the file that you saved, and then select Properties.  Look down and see if there is an entry of security telling you that the file is blocked.  If you are sure that it is virus-free, click the Unlock button.

  • After restart my computer lose the DirectX

    Original title: DirectX lost at boot time
     
    Hi all
    My directX11 loose every time that I reboot windows 7.
    Dxdiag says the card is ok (ASUS ENGTX560), but the directX features are disabled.
    If I re - install the NVIDIA drivers, the card works perfectly (I can play heavy graphic games for hours without problem)
    and dxdiag shows a full directx features ok.
    I can put the computer in standby mode, wake up, sleep, wake up... dxdiag still shows a full ok.
    Now, if I stop and restart, directX11 is lost.
    I tested several things including updating drivers, regs clean with ccleaner, clean with driver Sweeper, no change.
    I suspect a soft issue, but I have to guess... this message was sent in vain to asus, nvidia, and sevenforum:
    Dxdiag newspapers can be found as an attachment in the thread above.
    Thanks for any piece of advice, idea, thing, create a link, for example how to set debug to directx mode (maybe I can identify some weird newspapers in there?)
    Just tell me how you think I should look for, hardware, software, microsoft windows, nvidia driver, bios MOB?

  • Windows Firewall service does not start after the removal of Virus

    Hello

    I believe that my son's computer has been infected with the Trojan.Agent.Ed virus.  I managed to remove it (from different folders in AppData), but a few vestiges remain of course.  The windows firewall service does not start - it throws an exception to access denied on startup and when I try to start the service manually.
    I tried to run the Sysinternals Process Monitor to display all events ACCESS DENIED and checked the permissions on the key to registry MpsSvc in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services and compared to a corresponding Windows 7 machine.  I've even exported the key MpsSvc and sous-branches of the laptop in good health and tried to import into a failure, but the import does not seem to occur, even if it gives a message "imported".
    I also tried the troubleshooting of Windows Firewall that confusedly says:
    "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall... Not fixed
    "Set permissions for the registry keys involved"... succeeded
    "Windows Firewall service is not started. Not fixed
    "Starting the Firewall Service"... succeeded
    Any ideas would be most appreciated.
