At the system restore in Vista after getting a virus, now cannot get the safety at work

I've had a computer for years and I had no problems until the last year and a half.  Then I had a virus to an e-mail from a former anti-virus software, I used, which I left keep send me emails from the evolution of the virus.  When I went to their website to view their information, their was a sign saying something like 'got there' and he kindly sent a beautiful virus I fight since then, and I decided tonight, I'm giving up the white flag, unless someone can help me.  I had my computer 'cleaned' three times, without success.  Once my nephew, who went to college for this and works in a company.  I am so tired of problems.  I want to just turn my computer... and use it.  That's all.  Not fight against it.  I'm ready to bury it in the back yard, in my garden (but it will certainly not grow anything buy weed) and buy something new.  My security to endpoint Symanted "file system Auto-Protect does not work correctly.  I just reset my computer back tonight at 3/15..when my nephew 'fixed' my computer for me.  And my security does not work.  My computer does not work.  It seems every time that something is done that the virus takes as a "victory", it becomes stronger.  Any advice?

  • System Restore DVD Vista vs Windows 7

    I'm new here and I apologize if this has been asked before.  I looked around and tried to search but can't find my answer.

    I just reveived my new HP Pavilion dv7t last night.  Notebook Essentials booklet says to create a set of DVD system restore, but This can only be done once.  I am in the process to register for the upgrade to Windows 7 snce is expected within a week.

    Should I go ahead and create the restore DVD system with the Vista operating system, and if I do I then will be able to create another System Restore DVD for Windows 7?

    I want to assure you that I have a restore of the system based on both operating systems, where I need to go back to Vista, but still have a system for Windows 7 restore, if it proves to be stable and I like the OS.

    I hope this makes sense...

    Make your Vista recovery DVD. Two reasons...

    1. you will not be able to do a cover of 7 Win set, (unless, of course, HP offers a magic here).

    2. If you install Win 7 and you need to reinstall it later, you will have to start with the Vista installation and repeat the upgrade process (unless HP upgrade version works differently from the retail... version did not get a response on this one here).

    Of course, you can always use an application of imaging to make an image of the newly installed Win 7 to use in the case of a reinstall. Acronis True Image or Macrium Reflect are 2 choices. Macrium is my preference.

    Hello

    You do not use the Vista System Restore feature to put your computer to the factory settings.

    System Restore updates only your computer settings to an earlier date.

    How to do a restore to factory settings, ask your computer manufacturer.

    You would either find a way to start the process under programs > then the manufacturer of the computer software > look it up it > or you will need to press some keys at startup.

    It would be either F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them how to do it because it's their recovery process.

    Or ask them to send you a set of Vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    See you soon.

    p.s. Save your files as all data will be lost normally when you perform a restore to the factory settings

  • I wiped and recovered from my CD of my operating system to windows XP due to a virus, now my system XP is SP1 (version 2002) and needs to upgrade, how can I get the old updates please?

    I am operating windows XP, but it is more difficult to download anything, I can only assume its because my system recovery disk brought me originally pack 1 and missing essential items in my system which is used to enable automatic updates to work to get my system back to normal.

    Preliminary work:

    Download the installation files of SP3, IE8 and Microsoft Security Essentials, which is an effective antivirus/antimalware program. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

    (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials (for MMS)

    1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!

    2. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

    Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

    Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

    3. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

    4. switch to IE8. Restart TWICE. (Note: it is important to let IE at the level before the upgrade to SP3 IE6.) After you are in SP3, then you can switch IE6 to IE8).

    5 install MSE.

    (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

    6. make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

    Start | Control Panel | Security Center

    (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

    7. visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

    8. reactivate the automatic updates.

    The subject says most of it.  I have used parental controls to set up parental controls Web site, however, it is said that it applies only to the windows 10.  My child's computer to Windows 7.  I tried to connect from his machine to implement controls, and he also said that it applies only to windows 10.  What should I do to make this work?

    Hi Philippe,.

    Family safety is available on the operating system Windows 8, 8.1, and 10. Windows 7 has a Parental control feature that will allow you to access your child's computer activity.

    To configure Parental controls in Windows 7, follow the steps below:

    1. Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard.
    2. Type command and press ENTER.
    3. Choose the user accounts and family safety.
    4. Select the Parental control.
    5. Click the child's account (Standard user) you want to set up with Parental controls. If there is none, you can create a.

      Note: Make sure to set up a password for the administrator account to prevent other users to change or disable the Parental control.

    6. Under child account, activate the Parental control.
    7. Under Windows settings, you can now put in place restrictions on the activities of your child's computer by implementing deadlines, control games rating, content, or title and allow and block specific programs.

    However, if you want to control your child's online activities, you need to install Windows Live Family Safety which is part of Windows Live essential suite. To download, click on this link.
