Cannot remove kvthost.exe infection
original title: kvthost.exe
Under XP Home SP3 all updates on a Dell 4550, 2 GB ram, P4 3.06 Ghz, Nvidia 6800GS AGP, 120 Gb HD.
I have a recurring problem with a file marked by Advanced SystemCare. The file is called kvthost.exe and is located in the Windows system32 folder. Advanced SystemCare is an of Gen Trojan horse and spyware. It cleans only to find when I scan after a week or two...
Does anyone know what kvthost.exe is. By looking at the file properties, it shows as being created in 2003 and accessed for the last time in 2008 with a 1.1 MB file size.
NOD32 and SuperAntiSpyware detects this problem, only Advanced SystemCare.
I believe that this infection is part of a rootkit. That would explain why you did not completely get rid of it!

Computer infected with Advanced Virus Remover (pavrm.exe).
Computer of my granddaughter is infected with Advanced Virus Remover (pavrm.exe) and he turned everything. Disable you the antivirus (Cyberdefender), so I tried Ctrl + Alt + Delete, and the Bishop of tasks has been disabled as well. I then tried to go to the control panel to remove the program, and as soon as I clicked on it, the screen went to a blank desktop. I started in safe mode, but still an empty office. Then booted to a command line and managed to find the APR files in several places. Managed to remove a few files from the command line, but when I try to delete others I get "path not found." Many years since I used BACK, so I don't know if I'm in the commands incorrectly or if it's the virus. What should I try? Thanks for your help.
You must use a second computer - like the one where you post now - go to the site of BleepingComputer, print out the instructions, download tools, etc. Because you can get into Safe Mode command prompt, you can copy the infected hard disk removal tools and use the CD command to navigate to the executable removal tool. This may or may not work for you. Instead, it is best to start the computer with a rescue CD antivirus such as those offered by F-Secure, Avira, etc.. Or work with a Bart PE with plugins antivirus/antispyware. These "recovery CD" could get the machine in pretty good shape for you to enter Windows and to carry out analyses, etc..
The easy solution and the best for a severely infected Windows machine must start with Linux Livecd like Knoppix, backup data on an external hard drive and doing a clean installation of Windows. If the girl is a young person, his Windows installation is probably not extremely complex and the clean install etc will be much less time than to use the methods described in paragraph 1. Of course, if you want to spend the time trying to clean instead, it is your choice.
Standard WARNING: the advanced practice of the malware removal requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better. If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

file pc_healt_check.exe

He has been infected by a Trojan. Was it a good decision? And if it wasn't, how do I go about download (and install) a new copy of it
I'm under Windows XP Pro/32-bit 3Gigs RAM.
garystanXN
When I ran to the scanning, with the help of Norton 360, the result stated that pc_health_check, exe infected files. I don't want to delete this file. With DELETE in the box at the
right (with a menu arrow drop down).
My research indicated that the PC Health.exe is actually a virus. But (infected)
software in my system was labeled pc_health_check.exe. I tried looking for it, but can't find anything in reference to it. And, being the entire infected file, I thought to DELETE is on the option viable oly. So, I checked around a download of 'pc_health_check.exe' and re - install. I do not know if pc_health_check. exe supplied with Microsoft Windows XP, or if it was part of an update which took place...
But, if this link is for pc_health_check.exe not PC Health Check, then I'll give it a shot.
Being both are similar, but one is a virus.
Thank you

Cannot remove an e-mail account - no under account settings removal tool
Use Thunderbird 24.5.0. Not having only not under one account choice account delete option. I tried to delete an e-mail account, but cannot remove or delete it. I read your solution but no delete option in the drop-down list in the account settings. help lease
How about you go to the Tools menu > modules and disabling the add-on!
Not that I can find a "manually change the files' on the site of the add-on.
I can find a manually records sort that does exactly what it says, but does not add and the columns you show. I can also find "additional folder columns" which aims to give your comments headers. The page Add on like the third picture shows a right click option or click to turn on the power on and off columns.

Cannot remove the ghost folder. Error message: there is no such mailbox
When I configure Thunderbird to connect to my Alpine Webmail, I had to rearrange my folders. Cannot remove a folder titled "mail" because according to TB "there is no such mailbox" but still shows on the tab my folders. I read through the previous discussions and have tried to unsubscribe the ghost folder, but that did not work or the other. I have a Mac OSX if this affects what it is. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you.
Hello world. I solved the problem... somehow. By removing the account of Treasury Board and put in place again, TB has been able to sync with the files that were on Alpine. The ghost folder still presented (despite not existing not not on the Alpine site), but by changing the directory to the IMAP server of "mail" to "mailbox" the ghost folder disappeared. I found myself with records who have been named oddly (most likely due to the change of the name of directory) so when I changed the IMAP server directory to "mail" it reset my files with the way they were, with the exception of the ghost folder, that was no longer there. I'm not entirely sure why it worked, but in case someone else has a similar problem, I recommend to give it a try.
Thank you all for your comments and help.
