Fake logo with notification of virus

While playing the game of hunting the eggs on my computer, the logo of Microsoft came in a box with some virus names indicating that my pc has been infected and everything was red, but I Essentials protect me.  I thought it was a case of hoax, he disappeared as soon as I started to analyze with Essentials, but I want to know is can these people be taken?  This is not the first time, and I don't know the last happened.

Hello yankeealleycat,

This can happen when you visit several sites there are several ways that hackers can infect the computer in several ways. However, since you have essentials security installed on your computer, you are protected against these virus infections. However, it depends on the configuration of the Web sites you visit.

  • Stuck on Start Up Apple screen logo with 50% progress bar, tried everything. Help, please!

    Hello world. I'd appreciate it really all the advice that you can offer me to help me fix my laptop. I have a mid-2010 Pro 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo Macbook running OS X Yosemite. A year ago, he started trolling a lot, so replaced the HDD with a Samsung 850 EVO 120 GB SSD internal 2.5 inch SATA III. He works much better since.

    A few days ago, I bought a Google Chromecast and had set up with my MBP. Subsequently, he began trolling and I noticed there are apps in the Launchpad, that I had never downloaded (reader of Google, Gmail, Youtube, etc.). I could not remove these applications or drag them to the trash. Concerned, I decided to back up my files on a USB key and re - install the OS X.

    However, during the priming of the MBP, it is stuck on the Apple logo screen, with the bar never go beyond 50%. (Photo: http://postimg.org/image/66qh6x633/)

    What I tried:

    PHASE 1 (Before reformatting)

    -Safe Mode: Button power button and shift held down. Hit or miss, worked 1-2 times, but when I reboot, is again stuck at the Apple logo.

    -Reinstall OS X: CMD + R; After 15-20 minutes get to OS X utility screen; Reinstalled OS X Yosemite; 7 hours to reinstall - but when the mbp restarts to complete the installation, it is stuck at the Apple logo again.

    -Reformatting: CMD + R; 15-20 minutes get to OS X utility screen (several reboots to work); Select repair for all discs/drives (Samsung SSD, HD Recovery). Exit said that both are very good; Select clear to HD recovery. When this was done, I tried to reinstall OS X Yosemite, but the MBP shuts down suddenly. When I turned on it again, it is returned to be stuck on the loading screen Apple logo. Attempt to restart after 15 +, but same result every time.

    PHASE 2 (After reformatting).

    -Power-> CMD + R = blocked screen Apple logo with 50% progress bar

    -Power-> Option = shows 2 player and free Wi - Fi area (Pic: http://postimg.org/image/58qi2j1vl/); Have you tried all the combinations, but regardless, always gets stuck at the screen of the Apple logo to 50% complete, after an hour, I suddenly hear ' to use English as the main language... ". ", but the screen is still stuck. I left it on 36 hours once and nothing has changed

    -Power-> Shift = error (Pic: http://postimg.org/image/tahklsvy1/); Keep restarting or shows some other error (Pic: http://postimg.org/image/thstc6b59/) and restart. Never crosses.

    Tried other things:

    -Reset PRAM: When restarting MBP, is stuck at the Apple logo screen, 50% progress bar

    -Reset SMC: Stuck on the Apple logo screen for a long time and then the screen turns off, but the laptop is still on. When I press Caps Lock, the indicator light lights up. Also, after some time, I again hear "to use English as...". "even if the screen is off. No matter what I press, it does not wake up to the screen.

    Note:

    -The bottom of the laptop feels hot (maybe), but I do not hear the drive in motion.

    I am trying to save my mbp because I can't get a new one for a few months. Any advice/help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!!!

    P.S.: I only am not too computer savvy, please use everyday words words/non-tech, when possible, thank you!

    Remove the SSD and install it in a closed Chamber.  Connect it to the MBP via USB.  It will start?

    Steven

    Laptop/netbook/laptop PC have usually one welded in the BIOS chip is not as simple as with a desktop PC.

    It can be done in a place of repair BIOS if your laptop is out of warranty.

    You can replace the motherboard yourself.  There are replacement MB available at lower cost than their purchase of HP.  Down the number of the MB if you want to open again. Do a google/bing search to find a source of reasonably priced.

  • Computer is stuck on "Microsoft Corporation" logo with the on-screen scroll bar, a green.

    Hello

    I had difficulties to get my computer past the "Microsoft Corporation" logo with the on-screen scroll bar, a green one.

    I searched the forum and found others who have had this problem. I tried some of their proposals, but eventually Windows does not run on my PC.

    It seemed a moment have solved the problem, but my AVG security had been removed. When I arrived the AVG security working properly my computer starts a few times more, but now I'm right back where I started.

    Is it possible for me to turn this thing on, but not in Mode 'Safe '? I am sick and tired of trying to connect, or try to understand this problem.

    I wish I could just take my computer to where I bought it and get my money back. Unfortunately, the warranty period is exhausted on my PC, so I'm stuck with it.

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit, I don't know if that makes a difference?

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Vista infected with the Vundo Virus, and you're screwed. Can anyone help?

    Recently, my computer has been infected with the Vundo Virus, so I tried to remove it. Somehow, everything I tried just did worse and nothing does not. Finally, he said that my computer has an unauthorized change. I clicked on the link and tried to validate, and the BSOD popped up. Then when I loaded my computer again, I tried again and it says that it cannot validate. I had to go to safe mode with network to get on this page, and when I try to use the OneCare scanner, the page would not be responsible. I need help serious to this problem as soon as POSSIBLE.

    PS My Windows Vista Home Basic is true because it is an OS disc that came with my Gateway ML3109.

    Please answer, Logan

    At this time the the most intelligent thing to do is to backup your data on an external support (such as an external hard drive) and restore your computer as long as the plant. The machine is still infected and all that you have done to try to solve this made things only worse. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hello

    Here's what I use and recommend:

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

    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.
    (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

    Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
    (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

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

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to 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 suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie 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.

    I hope this helps.

    Like2Create,

    If you want to keep the B as direct Type, you can:

    (1) tick Edit > preferences > General > use overview of limits;

    (2) to select the Type (B) with the selection tool (normal) and the effect > path > outline object.

    Which will reduce the Bounding Box to the real limits of the letters and keep the editable Type, so you can set the direct Type you like in function since its appearance.

    But if you need not described the text as a PDF, you will need to remove the effect:

    (3) with the selected direct Type, click reduce it to the basic appearance button in the appearance palette.

    Who's going back to normal Type Escarole.

    Obviously, you will need to uncheck the box use a snippet of the boundaries for other purposes, but you can just check that again when you need to edit (some of) the Type if necessary to keep in place. Maybe it's not necessary the changes will (for the most part and only if no letter is more than the vertical limits far) horizontally.
