Better plan of action if you suspect an infection?

If I suspect that I have a virus on one of my computers, what all do you consider them be the best course of action to get rid of or to give my auto insurance that I don't have?

I am running vista with an associated program provided by my ISP anti-virus F-Secure.  I ran Malwarebytes and the most recent Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool.  F - Secure, Malwarebytes and Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool all come with 0 infection.  If it was insurance enough for me that I don't have an infection or there at - it no more, I have to take?  I try to stay away from links/sites I have a safety question of and I use Mcafee Siteadvisor to check how they rate them as well as comments from the users.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Some of them you did however here are the methods that I use. Another tool that shows
a promise is the demo version of Hitman Pro.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to detect malware
is often accompanied by a much more difficult to detect and remove the payload. So much better to be too full now
than to pay a high price later. Check with them to an extreme exaggeration, 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 them
the Windows when you can.

Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT and add Prevx to be sure that he is gone. (If Rootkits run UnHackMe)

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I see you've found an error "file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" when you click office and recent places.

    1. Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2. What is the full error message?

    I suggest you to report to us the screenshot of the Advanced window so that we can understand what exactly the situation.

    The average while you can try the following steps and check if the error reappears.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.

    Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.

    Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    Put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    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 repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    It will be useful.

  • What value is just using development builds (Beta, FDE, every night) If you don't submit bug reports?

    Simply surfing with a version beta (or most recent) version of FF actually do anything for MoCo? I really useless novelties that appear obviously earlier in these channels. In any case, I have a crash report that I submitted on 9 July to my topic: profile breaks down. I have all data with the activated options (choice of Options Options/Advanced/data) and have had all of these options enabled for longer that I can remember. IM wondering if this helps them to make a better browser (or at least confirm that the changes are NOT hurt the performance of the browser), or if they get no advantage out of bug reports.

    It will be really useful if you just use pre-release builds with these functions of data communication on without worrying if you provide a manual feedback. This will allow developers to detect performance regressions or issues of stability with some configurations before they will be available to the general public thanks to publish versions. Thank you!
