Attack of the virus taking the average program information

I recently had a virus and he took two icons on my desktop. He also hid my program list. When I choose to start the only half superior shows four programs. The lower part shows all. When I select "All programs" he also says "empty." The virus has asked if I would buy a software to restore the information available to me. How can I restore myself so that I have my icons back office and my programs listed under all programs?

Hi Erle,
Some infections of malware will hide all files and shortcuts on your computer. To make your files visible again, download display on your desktop.
Once downloaded, double-click display and let it run. It removes the attribute hidden on all files and attempt to restore items in quick launch and Start Menu to their location.
I hope this helps you,
Brian

  • How do repopulate you the Start/Programs tab after a windows xp recovery virus attack

    After having used StopZilla to remove malware everyhthing seems to work ok except for repopulating the START/PROGRAMS.  Looking for help to get all my programs listed under programs.

    Hello

    ·         What operating system is installed on your system?

    If you are using Windows XP and programs are not listed when you click Start, and then you can perform the scan SFC to solve the problem.

    SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC /scannnow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished.

  • by comparing the average centroid location to the location of the center of gravity measured

    I'm using labview 2015 to design a laser alignment system, using a contoller ag - uc2 and an optical mount piezo driven two webcams. The establishment, is that the webcams are positioned behind the mirrors, which are somewhat permeable, so the webcam will get a shot where the laser beam is pointed. The laser must be aligned manually first, and after that it is satisfied with the alignment, this program will be run once to run in the background. control the position of the laser a few times per minute to correct the thermal drift. After it is first of all, I would like the program to take maybe 10-15 images, to find a location to center of medium severity on each of the mirrors, then switching to compare new images of this center of gravity of the model. My problem is that I can't imagine a way to get a picture of model and have that info Reports to the next iteration of the while loop to the overall program be carried out. I have tried using the structures of the case, which, I imagine, will eventually be the solution, but it did not work as expected. I put the case structure to run based on the value of the indicator loop iteration of the main loop, and I got a while loop in there with registries to raise the center of gravity of this loop and store this information for the next loop to shift. I can see after running the program why my implementation does not work, but I don't know how I can design something that will have an average of several images. I think I should use learn and compare the model, but I don't know how I can convert a cluster (centroid) type of data appropriate for the model comparistion live if you have any suggestions for my existing code or want to offer a different approach, I appreciate it. Also let me know if you need any other screws included.

    In the past, when I had to switch between two 'modes', if you do, I used two consecutive loops while, one for the first mode and one for the second, or I would put Boolean register to indicate that, two modes, the loop was offset.  If you start in a mode, and then more later switch to another once and only once, then you can use a node 'OR' like a lock to power the old way, so the first true feed you of keeps it true until the next time that you run the VI and it returns false.

    I would also add that I looked your VI and the method that you use on average 10 images, while innovating, is usually not a great plan.  Instead of having 10 shift registers build an array of fixed size, just have a table in a shift register, add each new measure at the end and the VI means in the range of mathematics/statistics to calculate the average.

    Yes, it's windows 7 I appreciate the suggestions, but the problem was that he wouldn't LET me not uninstall anything. He gave me the waiting message please do anything, and he's not missing if I stopped and restarted. Finally, I gave up. I saved my files to my external hardrive and just do a full recovery of the computer. He solved the problem of installed programs and the internet problem explore both, although I hoped it would avoid going that drastic.

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).

    3 cancel the installation process after it starts
    4. restart windows in normal mode

    Now, all my applications of MSI with setup.exe work correctly! Quite strange. Just for the record: this problem was not due to a Virus protection program (as all assumed first that many people) and it kept me from running applications (MSI?) of ANY installer from a CD.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium on an AMD Athlon (TM) II X 4 630 2.80 GHz with 6.0 GB of RAM (64 bit OS). PC is up-to-date with the latest updates and use Norton Anti Virus.

    I used this PC for several months with no problems. After doing some research in my menu of the taskbar Windows Explorer and start icons have become corrupted. The links always work but do not show the right program.

    I tried several things to fix this. I removed everything in the start menu and taskbar, rebooted, added a few back but the problem still exists. I deleted the icon cache file (renamed to db.old), restarted, problem still exist. I made a recovery of a checkpoint system before the problem was still not fixed.
