computer erase

Allowed to dangerous source, I did a full security scan and it does not show anything wrong, so I install microsoft security essentials is a computer, always wipe advised?

Hello

Yes; It is recommended.

Security scans normally do not show anything unusual after having given remote access to a computer by scammers.

If you have granted remote access to a dangerous source:

If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.

If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

See you soon.

  • I got scammed by Mackeeper and they deleted all my favorites and history! Help!

    I have a macbook pro retina 13 (2013) and downloaded Mackeeper hoping he would clean my computer... A technician went to my computer erased all my notes in the Notes application and the content of my firefox: history, bookmarks and then left without saying anything. I have a return to the top of it and you do not have a firefox or profile. How can I recover this data? Help!

    Thanx.

    PS. I did some research on mackeeper and discovered it's more late was a scam, a very huge scam! Never download.

    I understand that Firefox profile data loss can be very frustrating, especially when you had the same profile for a while. Unfortunately, if there is no return to the top of the profile, it is not possible to recover.

  • Problem with sync error: synchronization has encountered an error during synchronization: unknown error. Sync automatically retrying this action.

    Hi, I started recently a problem with the sync on my desk. My partner Android and Mac laptop no problems when you attempt to synchronize, but office always gives the same error. I tried to disconnect from the desktop computer, erase all files, restart and then adding the Office to synchronize once more, but the error persists.

    All bookmarks on the desktop disappeared, but are still in my sync data and have no problem being viewed on other connected devices. It also tells me that the issue is not the sync server and that there is something unique to the desktop machine.

    I hope that this will not require a reinstall, but if all else fails, it's an option. I'll try to attach a log file once I put the question.

    I think the error message is in the title of the thread:

    Sync has encountered an error during synchronization: unknown error. Sync automatically retrying this action.

    Try creating a new profile as a test to check whether your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

    The Feedback forum is no place for technical questions, so I moved your message to the windows "Repair and system recovery" form.  Always mention your version of Windows when you post.

    That looks more like a value SID or GUID of a virus, but why not scan the hard drive?  Your AV program allows you to create a startup scanner allows?

  • Acer Aspire S7 392 does not start after the new Antivirus installation

    Hello

    I bought the Acer Aspire S7 392 in October this year of digitec.ch AG here in Switzerland. Everything worked well until December 19 when my Antivirus McAfee has expired and I decided to change my Comodo Internet Security antivirus. A month back, I had installed Windows 8.1 as well and things were smooth until last night. Last night, when I installed Comodo Internet Security, the computer requires a restart, I did, and then my computer erased. I could not even reached the Acer logo at startup.

    As I tried to check the observation of details of covers them this white screen problem, Irealized that many people suffer from a similar problem. It seems that Windows 8.1 and an installation of a new antivirus may have led to this white screen problem. In addition, it seems to be a bios problem that the computer would not start and I hope that someone could help me with this problem.

    Thank you very much Acer-Tommy. I had to take it to the Acer Support in Switzerland. He partially solved the problem. My S7-392 has a built-in battery that I had to reset which allowed the laptop to reboot normally. As in, I was able to boot up to Windows 8.1. However, as soon as I logged into Windows, it hooked up soon. Do the restart 3 times triggered the automatic repair/update option. That I took and returned to Windows 8. I had a Bios 2.05 2.03 intead and I had to install 2.05 before making updates. I recommend you seriously all the people who use the S7-392 to strictly follow the installation procedure for Windows 8.1 mentioned on the Acer site.

    Please update your Bios to 2.05 before installing something new, especially a new anti-virus.

  • Corrupt files on Windows XP and disturbing call from the technician PC Doctor in India.

    Please explain how to completely remove the corrupted files from my computer that uses Windows XP Media Edition. I had the computer erased completely, but the technician put the files in question on as thought that I might need them. I do not understand the relevance of keeping these files on my computer or if they can affect other programs. I am concerned also a call today from PC doctor of the assistants of the India who suggested I have delete the files and what it would cost for them to do etc. I do not understand how they established the fact that I had these files or how they looked at my phone number. I found their intimidating tone and want to know if they were probably hacked my computer. Why not delete those files myself without having to pay someone to do it? Please give advise me on this if possible because it is worrying me and make me feel insecure when using the computer in question. Thanking you in advance.

    Call PC Doctor is a fraud, and many people received such calls.  If they still call it, hang up immediately.  For more information, please see hear about "Virtual PC Doctor?" in the forum Windows XP security, privacy, and user accounts .

    How do you know that your computer has corrupted files?  Someone he said you look in Event Viewer?  It is quite normal for any Windows computer display hundreds of errors and warnings in the application log in Event Viewer.  They show no corrupt files.

  • Windows does not start more-IE 9 update failed

    After you have installed the Windows updates, I received 10/09/2014 my computer erased, and then wouldn't boot.

    After waiting for about 20 minutes, nothing is was so I used the button to turn off the computer. When I rebooted I gave me an option to use the Startup Repair tool, I did. It is yet to start, but then I was given an option to the startup repair using System Restore. I clicked 'Yes' to that, but it seemed to me that Startup Repair has just kept running and it ends by told me to click on 'continue' and if the Startup Repair has been able to repair my computer should start.

    It finally began. The first thing I did was to check the Windows updates and it shows 6 7 updates succeeded. However, Windows Update face page shows that I have 7 important to install updates.

    The update that is shown is failed is Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista, KB2977629.

    Then what should I do? History displays 6 of the 7 successful updates but Windows Update I still 7 updates to install. I'm a little afraid to go and install again since my computer does not start after the first try.

    As I said, I need help. My computer was working fine until I tried to install the updates.

    Very well.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as it is often the total process
    which solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

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

    If necessary:

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry
    entries that do not fix the resolution of problems and those who "could" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the CD/DVD drive of course subkeys as
    There will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask involved specific keys as well as the
    Parameters.

  • InDesign CS5 malfunction

    I've upgraded to Snow Leopard a few months ago on my iMac, but still using CS3, what has caused a lot of damage. My company eventually got CS 5 software, I installed a few days ago, and I was hoping that my problems would go away, but they did not.

    InDesign is marching slowly when raising boxes of dialogue or between tabs on the pallets. The program crashes when I use the Export command. When he did perform the export to PDF, the PDF has been damaged and unusable.

    It crashes when you try to open the files and even crashes trying to recover a file, when I restarted. Hook to register under. When I restart my computer, it works fine for awhile, then works bad again.

    I still have CS2 and CS 3 installed. Can only cause a problem?


    Thank you

    When I installed Snow leopard, I have not re-installed on my CS3 software. Our tech support person retains all of these discs, and more I didn't know that I should have done. I'm on my own here in regards to technical support because I'm on a Mac. I do graphic design, so am not so familiar with the back-end of things.

    Your tech support is no help, huh? You have to reinstall everything, looks - Adobe software. The operating system itself should probably be reinstalled; what Bob is just to install Snow Leopard on top of the previous Mac OS is a bad idea, even if Apple reccomends it.

    Once you have installed Snow Leopard on top of any cat-name was the last version of Mac OS, a lot of things break. The upgrade to 10.3 10.2 and 10.3 to 10.4 was really easy to do when you come to install the new OS on top of the old operating system. However, the 10.x-> upgrade 10.6 on-site created lots and lots of problems, and so we recommend that people who have upgraded to 10.6 Snow Leopard to get ready to use the method of scorched earth: completely clean the drive and start with a fresh of 10.6 Snow Leopard installation.

    So, you want to get all of these disks in your tech support person. (Or crack the whip on the tech support person to do the job of tech support, i.e. do reinstall to you.) You probably want to be prepared to ask specific questions on a Mac OS forum in case you have problems to backup everything on your computer, erasing the drive, etc., if you can't count on Mr./Mrs. Tech Support.
