application of fake mcafee keeps popping up

We continue to receive a fake mcafee application window pop up asking to do a scan. I don't click it, rather I'm in tast Manager and end task. Sometimes most of the time, puts an icon on the bottom toolbar as well. The two disappear when you complete the task through the Task Manager, but is there a way to block the app to be able to pop up?

    Rwillet,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    The wmiprvse.exe file is otherwise known as Windows Management Instrumentation.

    You can run your scan virus and if necessary, perform a System Restore to a point prior to the error occurring.

    Hello

    It seems that you are confused between the D: computer manufacturer recovery partiton and the MALICIOUS software called Windows Recovery

    they are 2 completely Different tthings

    and you can't buy the manufacturers recovery partition; It is already on your hard drive

    your computer is infected with malware

    Read and follow ALL the information on the link below

    Windows Recovery is a program of analysis and optimization of fake computer that displays false information in order to scare you into believing that there is a problem with your computer. Windows Recovery is installed via Trojan horses that display fake error messages and warnings of security on the infected computer. These messages will state that there is something wrong with the hard drive of your computer, and then suggests that you download and install a program that can solve the problem. When you click on these alerts, Windows recovery will be automatically downloaded and installed on your computer.

    Once installed, Windows Recovery will be configured to start automatically when you log in to Windows. Once started, several error messages appear when you try to launch programs or delete files. Windows recovery will then prompt you to scan your computer, which will then find a variety of errors, he said, he can't fix until you purchase the program. When you use the defragmentation tool called it will specify that it should run in Mode safe and show then a background in Mode Safe false who pretended to defragment your computer. As this program is a scam do not be scared by buying the program when you see its alerts.

  • Microsoft visual c ++ runtime library keeps popping up

    Original title: "Microsoft visual c ++ runtime library"

    you try to download a statement of income and the above "microsoft visual c ++ runtime library" keeps popping up

    Compliments of Robinson Zhang, MSFT, Moderator:

    For the most part, this kind of error can be caused by two factors:

     

    1. components Runtime Library Visual C++ are missing.

    2. software problem.

     

    If the problem is caused by #1, you can reinstall Visual C++ Library Runtime components to solve the problem.

     

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x 86) - assuming you are using Vista 32 bit (must be a different version if you are using 64 - bit)

    If the problem persists after installing above package, the question must be a software problem. I suggest you take a cheque to boot this is a software conflict problem. If this isn't the case, it is always recommended to fix the problem with the support of the manufacturer. Thank you for your understanding.

     

    For your convenience:

     

    Clean boot

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

    1. click on start, type "MSCONFIG" (without the quotes) in the search bar and press "Enter" to start the System Configuration utility.

    2. click on the 'Services' tab, check "Hide all Microsoft Services" and click on 'Disable All' (if it's not gray).

    3. click on the 'Startup' tab, click 'Disable All' and click on 'OK '.

    4 restart the computer and test the issue.

     

    Note: The clean boot is a troubleshooting step. If some programs have been disabled, we can reactivate later. If you see the System Configuration utility, check the box "don't show me this message again" and then click "OK".

     

    Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.

    I hope this helps.

    The most recent (June 2013) Java update caused this problem happen in my Internet Explorer 9. When I encountered this problem during a previous Java updated earlier this year, I managed to fix it by disabling the Java modules, as others have suggested.

    I just tried the same solution again and it solved the problem again. Here is the solution I used:

    Follow instructions of Tadasha Mithra (see above) in the "method 2" by steps a to c, but instead of stage d - e, I had to do the following instead: "."

    d: in Internet Explorer, go to Tools, select Manage Add-ons. A window should appear listing your modules. In the drop-down "Show" menu, select "all add-ons". Reload the list of modules in the right pane.
    e: scroll down the list until you get to the items listed under «Oracle, America, Inc.» Right click on each of the elements it and select 'Disable'.

    The only way I could solve this problem in my IE9 was by disabling all the modules related to Java (i.e. by assigning everything that was on the "Oracle America, Inc." to "disabled"). But I'm not very teccy so you should be able to solve the problem by turning off only some of them.

    If you are worried about the ability to disable it, you can see these two pages dealing with Java SSV helper doing and whether it is necessary:

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to fix this sector, all available on which data may be lost

     

    Method 2:

    I suggest that you go on the link disable add ons and check. Here is the link for your reference.

    Follow these steps:

    New version of firefox, constantly keeps popping up a message asking me to "Bring your bookmarks and passwords with you." I am currently working. It shows me once then stop. OFF to Chrome I guess

    Sorry, this is a message from the heart function. She undergoes a bug right now. Better to turn it off if you can get immediate relief.

    To turn off the heart rate:
    Talk openly about: config config in a tab, then search for browser.selfsupport.url and double click on it and set it to an empty value.

    You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

  • Registration-activation-page-keeps-popping-up COMCAST

    Old Modem from Comcast is dead. Went and fought a Motorla SB6141 new modem.

    plugged in, reset the wireless router and got the Activation Self Comcast page.

    All right, said the device has been activated and saved.

    I can use the internet, with the exception of a single site. Whenever I'm trying to get to www.ourtime.com, the registration activation page keeps popping up! I tried flushing my DSN and powered by the modem and the router works.

    This only happens in Firefox, so I deleted all cookies and cache this app too.

    Using Safari, I can get on the site.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    OK, so I was going to try to reset Firefox and was looking for the Preferences tab.

    Go to advanced and click on network settings.

    Then under Connections at the top of the tab.
    

    'Use the system proxy settings' was chosen, so I decided to try to 'automatically detect the proxy for the network settings.

    Guess what? IT WORKED!

    Didn't have to try to reset firefox, as the Mozilla suggests 'expert '.

    Just goes to show that these 'experts' Mozilla are nothing more low-level, underpaid probably imitates, with a game of darts.

  • Wifi registration form keeps popping up

    When I implemented the new Mac Mini, I accidentally chose Xfinity that my network wifi instead of border, I have actually.

    Since I chose Frontier in the popup to wifi in the menu bar and entered my password, he agreed. However, whenever I restart, or sometimes at random, a window "Sign up for Xfinity" (which looks like an advertisement) keeps popping up. I chose the border once again, but when I restart, Xfinity is chosen again and jumps to the top of the window "Sign up for Xfinity.

    I open network preferences and chose the border as my network name (leaving "apply to join new networks unchecked.) Yet he keeps default Xfinity when I restart.

    I remember that there was once an option on MacOS 'forget this network' (or is it iOS?) I want to forget Xfinity and stop failing at it.
