• After removing a virus from my computer, I can't access any of my programs like Windows Media Player. Pop - up says choose program to open the file type.

  After removing a virus from my computer last year, I struggle to access most programs such as media player and other things.  When I try to open something, I get a popup asking me to choose the program I want to use to open this file. For some programs, this file is actually listed.  But for the most part, they did not.  For example, Nero express is what I use to copy CDs or DVDs.  I have to go into a safe mode to use it as well as using programs to run virus checks.  I was told that the virus had somehow corrupted or affected my file extensions.  I almost had cheated using powerful PC Max but did some research beforehand.  Any suggestions?

  original title: File Extension problems

  If you need to go to Safe Mode in order to use certain applications (for example, Nero Express), particularly antivirus scans, you most likely have not successfully removed all malware from your computer.

  How did you remove the virus from your computer last year?

  You then install an antivirus application?  Which one?  Are you still using it?  What's his current subscription? Its subscription has already been authorized expiration?

  What version of Windows, including service pack, do you use?

  What other anti-malware software do you currently use?

  Have you analysed recently with the following free tools?  Otherwise, download, install, update and run scans (not simultaneously) with each of them:
  MalwareBytes AntiMalware
  SUPERAntiSpyware
  Like many also restore file associations.

  • Right-click on a file and select open with > choose program.
  • Look in the lists of programs (split in 'Recommend programs' and 'Other programs')
  • If you can't find the application you want to use to open this type of file, click on the button "Browse".
  • The "Program Files" folder should open (if it isn't, go to C:\Program Files
  • Find the program you want to use.  If you are looking in C:\Program Files\------, you determine which file is the actual program.  You should be able to tell from the icon.  If not, see note below)
  • Select the program (the exe file or the name of the program in one of these lists) and check the box "always use the program selected to open this type of file"
  • Click OK
  • Repeat the above for each type of different file according to the needs

  Note: If you need to determine the EXE file for an application, just right-click on the shortcut you use to start the program, and then select Properties.  Click on the tab "shortcut".  The 'Target' box contains the path name to go to the executable (EXE file) for the program.   For example, the executable file for Firefox is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

  There are a few exceptions, including but not limited to Microsoft applications, which use a more obscure reference to the target.  Word, for example, indicates the 'target' as a 'Microsoft Office' gray of no matter the version.  The real exe for Word is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICEnn\WinWord.exe' where the nn refers to the version of Word that you have (Word XP/2002 is 10, Word 2003 is 11, Word 2007 is 12, Word 2010 is 14).

  If you need assistance with a shortcut that does not directly show the name of path, ask.

• I'm trying to uninstall a printer from my computer, but the feature uninstal fails to do so. The error message is 5004:Ox7E

  My operating system is Windows XP

  The printer is a Brother 2035

  I also tried the uninstal brother tool but it also fails to remove the software from my computer.

  I already deleted the printer, so I can't reconect, which I believe can casue a problem when you try to uninstall?

  The above mentioned error message can mean there is a problem with my system?

  Everyone knows about this problem? and they were able to find a method to uninstall/remove all files to their printer?

  Thank you very much

  This error seems to be related with InstallShield.  I did not experience myself, but see this page--> http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/installshield-error-5004-0x80070005.61658/

  I would like to start with the 'solution' down - rename the folder InstallShield/Professional.

  If all else fails, I suggest you to contact brother support and/or support Flexera Software (unfortunately, there is nothing in the Flexera KnowledgeBase on 5004 with argument 0x7e error and their 'community forum' is not functional at the moment).

  To get into Safe Mode, press F8 immediately after the restart.  If you get the Windows logo, you waited too long to start typing.  What you're looking for is white on black 'Advanced Boot Menu Options'.  When you see that, using the arrows (mouse doesn't work here) to select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.

  Reboot will automatically return to normal mode.

• Error MESSAGE: "Photoshop is a desktop application so you'll want to download it from your computer."

  I joined just for Adobe Creative cloud and I'm trying to install Photo shop on my desktop .  When I click on the download button I get an error message saying "Photoshop is a desktop application, then you'll want to download it from your computer." I can't go ahead with the download.  Any advice on how to fix this?

  The browser you are using to download the application? Any browser that you use, it is recommended to clean the browser cache and then exit the browser, restart it and log in with your credentials for http://creative.adobe.com and then on the tab Download Center, download Photoshop.

• Im trying to delete a file from my computer...

  This is most likely a temporary file created by a security or other Windows update.  Restart the PC and see if you can delete it then.  If this isn't the case, then you may want to assess the question to seize the property and removing against evil, it could cause if it isn't a vestige.  In addition, he is unlikely to win a significant amount of disk space, clean as you do only puts off the coast of the inevitable hard drive upgrade - if the drive is full, get a larger.

  As suggested by Imran, Microsoft removed the Windows Installer Cleanup utility of its servers to download because sometimes when this tool has been used (I think with MS Office), he took over he was supposed to.

  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility is always available from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , or you can use the free Revo Uninstaller.  Before using or the other of these tools, create a restore point from the system, backup the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, or (if you can afford) creates a full disk image or a clone - just in case.

• Trying to remove the folders from Windows one system empty, but in error "is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. »

  My parents bought a laptop from a friend, and recently my father ran an antivirus program that came with multiple files in a folder that has been created by this friend. When you try to delete the folder a box appears that says "it is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. "But all the folders inside are empty and of no use to us. Help?

  The standard answer to questions that begin with «I bought a used computer...» "is you can do a clean install of Windows, because you know not what could be hiding somewhere in the computer.  In this case, it seems as if he is infected with something.

  Legally, the seller was required to give you a way to do this reinstall, but in the vast majority of the private sales of used computers, this requirement is simply ignored.

  If it's a laptop to 'mark' (e.g., Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo) there may be a hidden partition on the hard drive that can be used to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State.  Of course, this will remove all applications that the previous owner had installed after he or she has bought new, but you should still seriously to consider making such a restore, if the mechanism is available.

  What is the name and the version of the antivirus application that has detected the wrong files?
  What are the names of the files?
  What is the name of the folder that cannot be deleted?
  Are you logged on as a user with the rights "computer administrator" when you try to delete it?

  Assuming that you can not or will not do a clean install of Windows, I suggest the following (do not run scans at the same time, each analysis may take some time, depending on the number of files on the computer):

  Connect as a user with the privileges "computer administrator" and do a full scan with each of the following:

  Hello

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to

• I wonder if I should just remove all viruses of any operation protestion and find one that will do everything. I read that there is protection against viruses like the vest?

  Someone please tell me what is the name of the best virus, horse of trogen, spywear, registry cleaner, and anything else that I need to buy to protect my computer bugs and people? How can I check that windows update my computer? and then I delete all updates of old? or leave it on? I did encript my router, but then I heard that I needed the wen 2? or something like that, it's the 3 letters but it also adds the number 2 behind it and I don't have that one. Looks more like kill, but the neighbors are bad. Thank you!

  Hello

  1. do not use ANY registry cleaner like those who claim to be able to solve a lot of problems are all hype or
  Worst SNAKE OIL.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2. here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  3. start (button) - Control Panel - Windows Update - view update history.
  Best to leave only updates, unless there are problems.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  4. set your router to use either WEP (ok), the (better) WPA or WPA2 for security (the best).

  I hope this helps.
