I can't open some programs on the computer desktop and the start menu.  Instead opens the view downloads and independently engaged button the program/s will not be open.  This only happens on my user account, I am an administrator.  The 2 other user represents the function normally.  Also icons appear on the desktop shortcuts being rather replace it with the IE icon.

Cannot find settings that have changed this would bring.  Any ideas?

  • At startup, a pop-up window appears that wants to update virus Possible backup "Cloud"? Ethernet doesn't work anymore.

    Win 7 64 professional. on Gigabit P45T-ES3G, cpu: Intel E8400, 8GiB ram, controller Ethernet Realtek 8111 / 8168B.
    Initial symptom: cannot access network - that is to say everything that is connected to the Ethernet port... System worked OK for months. Problem started
    little by little, but is now 100% failure.  Checked the TCP/IPv4 properties and is set to addr IP 192.168.1.105, subnet 255.255.255.1 gateway default 192.168.1.1 and server preferred DNS 8.8.8.8 alternate 8.8.4.4.
    Ran a LiveCD of PCLINUX 2012.2 on the machine, all the functions of the Ethernet (Internet and printers) are working perfectly, so material is OK.
    Quite recently noted a pop-up "Cloud Backup" start-up that wants to send some kind of so-called information backup somewhere.
    I can post a screenshot (png file), if I was told how to.  (I have the screen shot, I downloaded on a USB - stick, and)
    can send this computer). The context menu offers a "Cancel" button I choose always.
    I went to msconfig and two programs found "backup" in their names: NTI BackupNow EZ and EasUS Todo backup Applications
    and not both, but the popup still appears at startup.  I can't find anything in the Remove Programs list that looks at it could be this.
    I ran Microsoft Security Analyzer and MS malicious software removal tool, and both are nothing after full several sweeps of the hour.
    I also have AVG and CCleaner, which do not complain either. Any other symptom: I think that the starting time is excessive.

    I would be EXTREMELY reluctant to reinstall Windows, I have some paid programs, but also a fee which has been rather difficult to install
    due to its Protocol of security installation.

    Hi Doug,.

    first of all, be careful with this clearner. I wouldn't recommend them at all. At best they delete files you want to join, at worst they are doing bad things in your registry!

    Pass, you can have a few ongoing struggles (at least the potential for it) with AVG and MSE... I would recommend Malware Bytes anti-malware detection.

    You are probably right to be curious, I don't know why 'cloud' would need backup.

    Can you connect in safe mode?

  • The download window appears no information since the last update of Firefox

    I had to create a new account to help just to get here.

    Your navig was fucking up like crazy since the last update. I had nothing else to connection problems in several sites. Sites would connect at random, then I wouldn'; t be able to reconnect. I tried to make an account on a new site and had to try 11 times crazy until he has known. and just now, when I tried to ask a question of troubleshooting, my username and password would not work. So I sent a request for password reset. Nothing happened. I sent at least FIVE password reset requests. None of them went through. When I tried to enter a different user name, thinking maybe that was the problem, as soon as I re-typed and clicked any where outside the name space, he would return to the name that was already there. What the hell!

    I didn't still the problem, I first want to contact you about!

    The download window no longer works. I download a file, I click on "Downloads" to see how long it will be, I don't see anything. Gross, white, white. And Yes, I know that some files download so fast, they're gone until I open the window. I mean great videos megabytes and disc images. No indication that they are downloading at all.

    All of this has happened since 19.0 installed. I need to disable the updates in the future to keep the browser working properly!

    Well, I found out what was going on. It turns out it was a confrontation with an add-on after all:

    http://update.DownloadHelper.NET/index.html?TS=1361662188

    So it makes sense why it persists even after reset and reinstalling. Sorry I lost all the time, but I enjoyed your trying to find solutions.

    Although I hope that the problems I've had of logging in and out of sites disappear soon too.
