  • Some keys on the keyboard does work not after the suspect virus on Tecra

    Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and the end of the keys no longer work after a suspected virus attack. I found the same problem on the net record but apparently this guy fixes his problem after stop scroll or NumLock on found him.

    This isn't the case here, but it's something with numlock - registry Watch 2 and not 0. switch to 0 but when reboot 2 times.
    Suspect has changed through the bios. I thought that I couldn't get to the bios because DEL key does not but found ESC works.
    Tried to reset the values default to the bios but then can't save and exit it in accordance with the EndKey to work.

    I was running XP at the time of the (alleged) attack and could not correct the problem so to put the computer OEM as I hoped would help - there no, same problem, so instead of installing all the software on the computer with XP I upgraded to Windows7 - charge install.

    Keys still don't work - it was a real pain first as my computer was created for ctl + alt + delete to log on and I had to do with the keyboard of the screen - XP - it showed also that numlock performed before and after windows starts.

    The reason why I suspect a virus - my wife was watching an of its tv shows on the line of the country of origin (an another toshiba laptop) and I needed to use this laptop for something else, so I asked to use mine - then we turned off laptops and the morning turned tham back on again once , the other laptop with virus protection AVG reported several hits and this one with Norton (FAMOUS and completely up-to-date) flagged nothing - once I got the screen keyboard.

    Problems with this computer were found after scanning with different antivirus.
    Anyway - I find myself with 4 keys that don't work not on my keyboard (in fact they work after I have connected to the computer for the first time, but I had to hold them in place for a long time - and then the next time I rebooted, not at all and did not since)

    Here, any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm working on this all weekend with no joy at all.

    Thanks in advance.

    Having a virus attack, the Windows files will be destroyed. Try the scan with kaspersky on Nod 32. If not help, reinstall os because it is the best solution in your case.

  • Windows Update and System Restore does not work after that the virus

    I recently had a virus on my computer, when I finally had removed my windows update does not work, my system restore will restore to any previous point and my computer seems to generally work more slowly.  Also groovemonitor seems still exists but is not really available to use, it runs in the process but is not available anywhere else.  Any suggestions?

    Hi TedDanson,

    1. do you get an error message when you try to run the restore system or Windows updates?

    I suggest you run a complete antivirus scan using Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that there is no virus infection:

  • Notepad opens at random, does not appear in the Vista virus research

    not related to specific programs or mouse they just pop up

    IE / Vista / FujitsuLifebook

    Hi jellybean.

    MSCONFIG will help only if the problem only occurs at startup - not if it occurs randomly during the day (unless a malicious software program is installed in the startup programs, but then it is a malware problem and not really a problem of program).

    It doesn't sound like you are infected, and before you try all of the other fixes, we should exclude.  I guess you have run a full scan with any security software you use and he come clean - but only one program is not enough and the best is to try several and eventually obtain the assistance of an expert or the confirmation (or work around the personal effort and request the assistance of experts from the beginning).  Please proceed as follows:

    First, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx. This may or may not remove the infections, but will probably not correct the damage caused by them. Even if they or your current AV software seem to work or indicate that you are not infected, you should not completely trust in them and must continue with the recommendations that follow (so it's up to you if you want to try them first, or just ignore all this and get help from an expert you really need as described below).

    Correctly and completely remove these infections can be complex and often require manual removal procedures (which may or may not be entirely effective either). Even if they work, I suggest what follows in any case, so that we can start it (you can ignore the methods above if you want it really is the way forward, but it won't hurt to them for trying).

    Please follow these recommendations of JimR1 - MVP compliments:

    You are running Microsoft Security Essentials?

    If Yes: start here - https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/ and select the link that says - I think my computer is infected - and support and select the option for phone, chat or email (options vary depending on the region)

  • Laptop does not start until after the virus attack

    Last night I was browsing the web when suddenly I got a lot of warnings of viruses Microsoft arise. I immediately disconnected and then ran a full scan of the system of McAfee, but he can't find anything, so I keep the laptop. Now when I try to start it, just at the point where the wallpaper appears (but), I get the following message - "Data Execution Prevention - to help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program - converter of Cookie by Microsoft. The boot process and then stops and goes no further. I then click "close message" (which is the only option), then get a 'Cookie converter has encountered a problem and needs to close... ". "Please tell Microsoft this problem"... window. The laptop remains frozen, regardless if I click 'Send error report' or 'do not send '. My only option then must he put off, which seems to be quite normally, i.e. "Logging Off" followed by "Windows is shutting down".

    I tried booting in safe mode and also "safe mode, last known good configuration", but exactly the same thing happens every time either I can't past the error message above.

    Can anyone suggest what I can try?

    I am running Windows XP SP3 and I am up to date with all Windows updates.

    I agree with Akuma.

    In this case backup your data and use the Toshiba Recovery disk and reinstall Windows. It only takes a few minutes and not so long as trying to correct the problem.
    I think it would be the best solution because the same phenomenon occurs in safe mode and last known good configuration.

  • Factory restore does not! Intervention of possible virus?

    Hi all

    Saturday, my computer has a horrible virus on it... I don't know yet what it was. Needless to say she caused explorer.exe restart constantly to make the very difficult to use computer. I managed to do a system restore, which bought me 2 hours (I thought I had solved the problem), but just in case I have saved the files I need the Mac laptop I'm writing currently. So, thinking I was finally triumphant I restarted and press ctrl + f11. Nothing. Windows has started. So I restarted the computer and held ctrl I quickly you press f11. Yet once nothing, until the bar Dell loading was completed, and in the short time between this screen and the windows flash screen of the computer beeps accordingly to a button. But still the Factory Reset has not loaded. I'm running a 5150 Dimension so I am sure that the computer has done the Factory Reset partition. But it's a kind of essential because Dell didn't send me a disc of Windows XP with my system, and apparently someone deleted me the product code of my computer. So, basically, if I can't restore settings I'm in a deep. (And I have tried EVERYTHING to identify and remove this virus... but it is elusive. It has elements of a sasser (play with my hosts file) but apparently the spazzy explorer.exe is a Vundo problem. HOWEVER, whatever this thing is missed time Kaspersky (which I am more able to install) and AVG, AND software tool windows malware and the removal of sasser Symantec tool.

    P.S. to mods... Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. Hard drive seemed appropriate...

    Method 2:

    You can also scan your computer the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Satellite L350 - does not connect to internet

    Hiya all

    Had the laptop about 3 months now and still connected fine to my wireless internet. But recently he has stopped to connect to wireless internet.
    I can't find my wifi connection, but it does not connect to it. My parents have the same laptop, purchased at the same time and can use it on the same wifi with no problems.
    My sister has also no problems to connect to my wifi on his cell phone, neither does my Xbox 360 or my iPod Touch.
    I can connect my laptop directly via ethernet to the router, but it's not ideal for me, and also I couldn't find automatic updates to download.

    Can someone help me with this please?

    Thank you very much!
    Ethan

    Visit the Toshiba for the BIOS and driver update WLAN:

    The firmware on the router, you can find on the site of the factory.

  • Xcode opens with 'ICloudSetupView.strings' at startup after a full stop. Xcode is disabled as a startup item, but there is a new startup item called "ICloudSetupView.strings" that has a "sort" of "Strings File". Is this a virus or spyware?

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid 2010)
    OPERATING SYSTEM OS X El Capitan (Version 10.11.2)
    Processor Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz
    Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Startup disk Macintosh HD
    Graphics Intel HD Graphics 288 MB

    The past several times I completely stopped my MacBook Pro and booted back up Xcode is the first thing to open, and it opens a window, I've never seen before called 'ICloudSetupView.strings '.

    I went to check if Xcode is checked as a startup item (I usually put off because I do not often use XCode) and Xcode is not even on my list of items that opens automatically when I boot.

    HOWEVER, there is a new startup item called "ICloudSetupView.strings" that has a "sort" of "Strings File".

    I traced the file in its location and found several others with the timestamp date same creation and now I'm worried.

    The path to the file is:

    System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FinderKit.Framework/versions/A/Resources/SK. LP roj/ICloudSetupView.strings


    The file has only the following 2 lines of code (technically 1 with overflow) that you can see in the image:

    bplist00 "_uHD " Driveo-7F-8GX.title_H4f-Te-Tzu.title\iCloud

    3 @


    A screenshot of the Xcode file that opens and my preferences of start programme is attached.

    I'm quite worried about it, especially because it IS NOT defined as part of open automatically but it is.

    I searched online and found no something like this.

    Anyone know what it is?

    Or what the code does?

    Is this a virus or spyware?

    It is not spyware. Simply remove it from your login items.
