  1. If the system restore is on, and you can't find really no point of system restore, you can be infected by a virus.  Viruses like system restore points and tend to run after them.  Run an Antivirus in safe mode with network (that you already have or in Trend Micro Housecall).  Once this and you have fixed any issue pending, turning the system restore on will generate a new point catering for you and you should be good to go.

• virus jumble all my file associations and will not let me reset them... upgrading to windows 7 will overwrite everything on my comp. including viruses?

  The virus is a popup window that said it was a windows xp security 2011.  I tried to end it in task several times Manager, then did a system restore.  After I did a system restore all my file associations were all mixed upward and every sense, I try to change the associations, it won't let me.  It doesn't let me even open system restore or something like that.

  I expect BugBatter to answer here... but since it's been several hours and it didn't:

  before considering a change/upgrade of the operating system, you can check if you can solve the problem by following the directions/procedure listed here: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=82696

  before you say it cannot be done, take note of doing things exactly as specified... in particular, I would like to highlight the following points of special 3 which are:

  (1) If you are unable to download MBAM directly on the infected computer, you should download on another computer and then transfer it (via key) to the infected machine.

  (2) given that .exe files does not work on your computer, you will need to Rename the mbam-setup installation file . exe:

  mbam-setup. com:

  (3) Similarly, after installation of the MMFA, you will need to Rename it to mbam. exe for mbam. com in order to run it.

  Keeping these 3 points in mind, go back and follow, step by step, the procedure in the above link.

  NOTE: If Bugbatter here meets the time wherever you are reading this, then please follow all what she said which differs from my suggestion.

• Copy files to and from the PC problem

  No device

  When I Pug in the USB for PC cord, Win7 says that the device must be formatted first. The manual never mentions this possibility and the formatting from sounds pretty bad to me, unless there is a partition on the device, isolate this action.

  Can anyone help on this?

  Well, I spent $ 14.95 and enlisted the new, I think, support for WebOS. Last week I had live free chat service, but his week that they told me

  In any case, I was directed through telephone conversation to due a full erase and which leads to a re-formatting of TP.... with no harm to the BONE, and restore your apps, etc. the HP backup system handles it for you. That worked, as soon as I returned to the computer, the named player of the HP TouchPad appeared. He said that the car had a size of about 11.5 GB with only 141 MB used. The tech thought BONE was approximately 1 GB. the manual or something told me that you do not see the size of 16 GB. The technology also cited $385. package for service of the TP if necessary... HP is trying to re-coop some of their losses on this product?

  The conclusion is that the drive has been damaged in some way and not formatted for PC it would see. The full erase lead to a re - format the TP that was the way to emphasise with the PC.

  Thanks for your help, I will proceed to load CM - 9 at the next opportunity.

• Cancel the file association for extension .lnk to origin of the "unknown program" settings

  I got interrupted and changed the file on the extension .lnk association to my browser.  Now, all shortcuts open with the browser.

  The answer to my own question, but for those of you are having problems with file associations in Windows 7, which does not propose a deletion or to remove the feature, see this link:

• In Windows 7. LNK file associations changed

  All the desktop shortcut icons and icons of programs start on a new Windows 7machine have had their file association has changed all that was the default association to another program, IE. IE Explorer, so that none of the links will launch the program proper.  Change the open with everything a link to any other program causes all links to implement the selected program.  Therefore, nothing works.  Is there a file association by default for *. LNK files and if so the power can file association be changed back to the default value of correct Windows?  The system has Norton antivirus running and up to date so no indication of a problem of viruses, and even if the user is not sure, reminds in response a request 'open with' when starting a game.  All other configuration settings seem to agree.  Any suggestions?

  IS - THIS only simple allows you to delete the association

  Original title: problem e mail

  I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.

  Suggestions;

  1. make sure that your e-mail program is your default program.

  2. make sure that your Internet Explorer, or your main browser has all its faults.

  You can do both of the above by following these steps...

  Start button > right column, click default programs > click Set Your Default programs...

  1. click on your e-mail program > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
  If not, click on choose by default for this program > check all boxes below the list > click on save when finished.

  2 do the same as above for your Internet Explorer, or your main browser.

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

  I see you've found an error "file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" when you click office and recent places.

  1. Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
  2. What is the full error message?

  I suggest you to report to us the screenshot of the Advanced window so that we can understand what exactly the situation.

  The average while you can try the following steps and check if the error reappears.

  Method 1:

  Step 1:

  Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.

  Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.

  Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Step 2:

  Put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.

  Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with 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.

  Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

  It will be useful.
