• I'm operating a windows XP Home Edition with service pack 3. Analysis of essential security of a windows shows that my computer is infected with a virus ' "Trojan horse: back/Alureon.A"»

  In January of this year my computer would freeze, or be very slow in its normal operation. This happened constantly. I tried to verify that my windows update check to be sure that I was getting my automatic updates. I was unable to connect to Windows update, no matter how many times I tried. This never happened before. So, I thought that my inability to connect to verify Microsoft Updates could be related to my computer running at a slow speed and / or gel constantly upward. When the computer froze, the only way to recover was to hit the kill switch and crash the computer. After the reboot, the computer could work normally for a period of minutes and resume again slow down and not to freeze completely upwards. For weeks, a Microsoft Tech person (Kevin) worked with me by e-mail and tried to fix my computer problems. Kevin exerted a lot of patience and accompanied me through a series of steps designed to understand what the problem was and fix it. At the time where we ran a Microsoft Scan (Scan, I believe was the name One) followed by an analysis "HijackThis". Kevin then read the results of analysis and recommended destruction of vast print of HijackThis. This has made some slight improvement to operations. As Kevin has attempted to provide additional assistance, I left for vacation. I came back, I did a scan of Microsoft Essential that determined that my computer is infected with a virus called "Trojan:DOS / Alureon.A.

  How do I rid my computer of this Trojan horse and restore my Microsoft updates and restore normal operation of the system?

  Thanks, Ben

  Hello

  By using the system restore when you have malicious software is not a good idea, although she would go. System restore
  can actually help to spread malware and make more difficult or impossible to remove the malware. Best

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  I recently received a call from someone called Mark of pc rj support and they said that my computer is infected with viruses and malware.

  Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now), then
  Double-click it and run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with others
  programs as needed. Use this method for other necessary - DO NOT ASSUMER one

• Impossible to reinstall XP after the computer is infected with a virus

  Hello friends,

  It's my laptop from a friend. He asked me to install Windows XP. The laptop has a virus. I insert my installation disc and it starts the windows installation. After 30%, he will miss the file and asked me to escape or to start the installation. I don't want to press the ESC key several times.

  What do you think is the problem. At first there was a blue death screen and is unable to install Windows, but after scanning the computer, he passed the blue screen. But cannot yet to complete the installation. The laptop is old with 256 MB of RAM.

  Thank you

  Thank you brother for your answer.

  Now, I solved the problem. I go to my workplace and use another installation disc and it works for me now. Thank you.

• My computer is infected with the Virus Zwangi.

  Hey guys. Recently, I downloaded a program of free sound recording a few days ago, and a virus, called Zwangi, is now on my computer. It all started when my free AVG popped up with like 6 cases of virus notifications. I tried to quarantine, then remove them and when I restarted my computer, AVG did not work. I downloaded the ClamWin Antivirus and during the scan with it, remove Zwangi in my program files.

  Recently, I did a system restore before that I downloaded the program, but I still have the same problems...
  (A) every time I try and open my "Documents and Settings" folder (which, I might add, has disappeared from my C drive, it's the place), I get an error box saying "acessable. Access is denied. "
  (B) I have scanned for viruses with ClamWin and got this...

  c:\\windows\ehome\tk-TM\ehepgres.dll.MUI: Trojan.Swizzor.Gen FOUND
  c:\\windows\Installer\44a3b.msi FOUND Trojan.Bagle - 703

  ClamWin said he eliminated the, but I don't notice a difference.

  (C) now, whenever firefox works, I get a pop-up box saying something on the registration of Chrome (that I have not installed), then starts under and addons, I see a Zwangi addon that says there are uninstalled on reboot. The same thing is happening on every reboot.
  (D) now windows defender is stopped.
  (E) there are three processes running on the Task Manager, csrss.exe, winlogon.exe, and atieclxx.exe who have no user or description, and when I try to put an end, it gives me "access denied."

  Aside from wiping the drive (I'm willing to do it), is there something I can do to save my computer?

  Raz2009,
  If you have a known problem with the virus then I suggest to get an antivirus program that you can boot from and run it without starting Windows.

  Another option would be to format your drive and do a clean install of Windows (this would remove all the data of your drive).  If you have a backup of your data, this is the best course of action.  If you do not have a backup, you can then do a parallel install (This installs XP in a different folder if you don't lose any data). Here is an article on installation options: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316941

• My macbook is infected with a virus, adware?

  I clicked on the quest for the card, and all of a sudden, a red screen on my browser and a popup indicates that my computer is infected with a virus, adware. I read a few other posts telling us a scam, but I can't click out of this! I am in google chrome and it won't escape and I cannot click outside the second small pop up that tells me call some techniques dumb assistance number!

  It's a scam. Do not click on and links or call the phone numbers. Just ignore it if you can. If this isn't the case, then see this:

  Useful links about Malware problems

  Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

  The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

  Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.
