Computer virus VZ. EXE on my computer yesterday but seems to have disappeared today. Is this possible?
Yesterday, my computer became infected with a virus that I could identify as VZ. EXE. I was able to get online for a few minutes and found a description on a site Web that corresponded to what exactly was going on: when started it will imitate a system scan and once finished, he says that your computer is infected by Trojan, malware or adware and you can buy the full version of their program to remove the infections. It also makes it very difficult to get or stay on the line. The virus scan I have not picked up any problems. This morning when I turned on my computer, none of the problems I encountered yesterday were there. I was about to call McAfee and ask questions about the elimination of the virus but has resisted. I did a search on my computer and the only thing I found was
- VZ. EXE - 2AD5E561.pf
- found in the c:\windows\prefetch folder
- size 27KO
- Last updated 22/11/10 21:35
- Created 11/22/10 12:46
- Status-line
- Of the attributes
What does that mean? The virus is gone or still there? Should I delete this file in the folder Prefetch? Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.
If you use McAfee, then the upgrade and full-body scan in safe mode (restart your PC and press F8 key several times and chose safe mode) and scan.
If it has not been detected you may contact McAfee support:

It seems that ROXIO CD and DVD copy program is part of the Vista program that came with the computer. After that the computer crashed it disappeared. It can be recovered?
Roxio CD and DVD is NOT a part of Vista, but it may have come with other software on your PC from the manufacturer. When you crashed, how are you on the recovery? Did you do a clean reinstall? Did you use a recovery disk provided by the manufacturer or a recovery Partition created by the manufacturer, or have you used a Vista disk?
If you used disks of recovery or a recovery of the manufacturer Partition, then you need to discuss with them because they produce these discs - not Microsoft (and they may be able to solve the problem or refer you to a site where you can download the program or email the file to you or something - or send you the replacement of the recovery with the software on this disc so always available - possibly for one) small fee). If you used a Microsoft disc, then this program is not on the disc and why he is not installed more.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Laptop HP 2000 2b09wm: computer boot - UEFI seems to have problems
Hello
I tried updating the BIOS using the official link to HP support, but I guess there is a problem during the update. The thing is that my computer will not start now. He remains in the screen that says "boot device not found - please install an operating system on your hard drive... »
I ran the tests available in this same screen after pressing F2 (the System Diagnostics), but everything is OK.
I can't access the BIOS because it asks for a password Administraotr. After that 3 attempts, the system locks with the code:
99841805
I was able to start the computer by using a USB key with Ubuntu. However, I tried to do the same thing with a USB with Windows 8.1 and then Windows 10 and it won't even see the USB as a booteable device.
I tried to install it in an another 'HP UEFI firmware Support' USB on another computer Windows 10, but the installation fails when creating the partition HP TOOLS in the USB device, saying that there is a problem with Windows Installer in this computer.
I'm stuck.
Any ideas?
Thank you
The code made me. Reset the BIOS to its default didn't work, but I could see the root cause of the problem: it seems that during the upgrade of the BIOS, resulting legacy startup option disabled and who broke all.
I returned to activate and voila!
Thank you

My computer, one almost four years, Dell Inspiron 1454 with Windows XP Pro, continues to freeze when left to sit for a few minutes. Also, I discovered that when I run the Microsoft Security Essentials quick or full scan analyzing stops on the file HP Digital Imaging mentioned above several times. I was wondering if this means something on the reason why the computer freezes up. Also, Windows Live Mail continually lets me know that it is "not responding." Yet once, I guess it's because of the freezing problem not Windows Live Mail is the cause. I do not know. I made some different system using different dates restorations and who has not solved anything so far. I use the computer during a run without problem, but if I have a cup of coffee, for example, I have to restart when I return. Sometimes, the slider moves, sometimes not, but no matter the computer is unresponsive after that I took a break or just out of the blue when I try to open an e-mail or another task. I guess it's time for a Mac, but I thought I'd see if anyone has some ideas on how to solve this problem. Thank you!
Hello, Olivia,.
This problem is probably due to an outdated HP Digital Imaging monitor. Even if you decided to switch to a Mac, the question may still popup because you have installed hpqthb08.exe.
Fortunately, there is an update that you can apply.
SP26427. EXE
http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=PV-26169-1&LC=en
Or you can simply disable HP Digital Imaging Monitor.
