  Exactly what virus was this?

  Almost certainly you don't has completely failed to clean the
  computer upward. Keep in mind the following three things:

  1. MalwareBytes anti-malware is an anti-spyware program and
  nothing to clean up viruses.

  2 PC Tools antivirus is a bad choice of an anti-virus program. For
  an antivirus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
  to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
  run several) of the following three:
   
  Avira AntiVir
  Avast
  Microsoft Security Essentials

  3. in the course of the run Registry Mechanic has been a very bad thing to do and it can be
  responsible for the problems that you are experiencing now. Cleaning the registry
  the programs are all snake oil. The registry cleaning is not necessary
  and is dangerous. Let alone register and do not use any registry
  cleaner. Despite what many people think and what providers of registry
  cleaning software try to convince you to have unused registry
  entries is not really make you hurt.
  The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
  delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
  It can have.

  Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
  use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
  problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
  the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
  cleaner and never had a problem with it.

  The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
  the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
  benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
  good deal.

  2. check that the Bluetooth device that you want to solve is turned on and that it is enabled.

  3. check the status of the Bluetooth support service:

  a. to open the snap Microsoft Management Console (MMC) for Services in Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type services.msc and click OK.

  b. double-click the Bluetooth Support service.

  c. If the Bluetooth Support service is stopped, click Start.

  d. in the startup type list, click Automatic.

  e. click the log.

  g. click OK.

• Cannot open the control panel and workstation - "Windows Explorer has stopped working"

  Original title - I can't open my computer or control panel.

  I try to open my computer or control panel so I can uninstall something I think that may have caused a problem. When I try to do so, a window opens saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working". I don't know what to do. I think it was some game, I installed recently which caused this.

  Restart your computer in safe mode by pressing F8 just before windows logo appears after intervention by the bios. And see if you can open my computer or control for safe mode. If you then uninstall the program/game where you doubt. also run msconfig and remove startup programs that you do not use frequently and do not trust. Also if you have recently added a toolbar or of any custom theme and then disable it. then reboot in normal mode and see if the problem persists. It will be useful.

  Good luck!

• "Windows Explorer has stopped working" if I open Control Panel

  Guys, could someone help me please?

  When I open the Control Panel, it says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then it restarts Windows Explorer. When I right click on any folder it says "recording of the UI language is not valid" 5 times and for a split second, it says "Corrupted registry" then it works. But I am unable to use the control panel.

  I have Windows Vista home premium and Norton Antivirus.

  Can someone help me please?

  Hello

  The error message says something about corrupt registry.
  So, it seems that this issue would be related to incorrect or damaged registry entries.

  If the registry is damaged, your operating system will not work as it should and can feel such or similar problems.

  I m using the CCLeaner to clean the registry and other system files.
  It s a free tool and you should try it.

  If this does not work and if you notice the same question so I would recommend reinstalling the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc.
  In most cases this will help you fix this registry
