file extension. Block

I've recently been having all my photo files and CorelDraw files have a blocked extension.   There was a warning text asking 200.00 to send me the unlock code. I have virus scanned and digitized registry and files are blocked.  Is there any solution for this?

I was really upset and turned back an email to see if he would have returned mail demon...

Responded it with the same info in the text of the warning that I found on my desk.

from: * address email is removed from the privacy * asking 200.00 via a prepaid good moneypak...

or 200 through western union.

According to me, this is a scam... but they have the files blocked on my computer and external drives.

I need my coreldraw files for my job... and the photos are of my family and are invaluable...

Can someone help me?

    Hi Oniebeme,

    • Exactly when you receive the above errors?

    Step 1

    You can run the checker system files (SFC Scan) on your computer and check if it helps you to fix the aid and support question. System File Checker analyzes all immediately protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This command may require access to the Windows installation source files. Follow the steps below to scan SFC on your computer.

    one.

    Click Start and run, type sfc/scannow, and then click OK.

    b.

    Once the scan is complete, restart the computer.
    Note You will need the Microsoft Windows installation CD if the scanning utility cannot find the necessary system files.

    Access the link below to learn more about Scan SFC.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

     

    Step 2

     

    If scan running SFC does not help, you can create a new user account and check if it works fine without error on the user account. If the new user profile on the computer works fine, copy data from the user of the old account to the new.

    You can access the link below and follow the steps in the article to create a new user account and copy the data to the new account.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151

    Step 3

    This behavior can also occur if the computer is infected with the Virus. I would recommend torun a virus online scan.

    Access the link below and check if your computer is infected with the virus and delete the same.

  • How can I find out what the file extension is an attachment to an email?

    I get an email with an attachment, I can not open with any of the applications that I have in my Ubuntu 14.04. How can I find what is the extension of the attached document, so I can find an attachment that can open and store?

    I can't save it on the disk without the aid of an application

    I am really curious what you could not do. There is no problem with saving a file on the disk without file extension.

    I don't like when a program hides important details of me

    I don't think that there is nothing that Thunderbird is hiding from you. Most likely the attachment is not a file extension - for any reason.

  • Firefox does not add the file on the file extension registration

    When I ask to save a file, the Save dialog for Firefox removes the file extension (for example, 'doc', 'pdf', "ofx") of file name, and I have to manually add it back. Earlier versions don't behave this way.

    You can try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder.

    RXE files are generated by the LEGO MINDSTORMS programming environment (also called NXT - G; it is based on LabVIEW but not equivalent).  These files contain binary data representing a MINDSTORMS program.  To open them, you need the LEGO software.

  • Plugin data for a possible evolution of file Extension?

    Hello

    I have files with the same file format data in files from there. Problem: the file extension is never the same, only the first 2 letters:

    My extension is: *.pa + a number incrementing

    Example *.pa01, *.pa02; *. PA03, etc..

    I tried to define * .pa use expansion, but it does not work. DIAdem allways aks me what Plugin data should be used for the file.

    Someone at - it an idea to set a file Extension variable?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Marco,.

    Unfortunately, we do have an elegant solution for you.  It was the case that you can define extensions of use with one or more '? ' character, but that doesn't seem to work more in DIAdem 11.0.  My only suggestion is that you can list on all variants in the file extension string:

    *. PA01, *.pa02; *. PA03...

    Who has at least 100 different file extensions, you must set this one right channel

    I hope that this limitation will get some attention in the future.

  • What can I do to find file extensions, please? I'm trying to restore my previous session on Firefox, & need help file extensions...

    I was told if I found the session files I would be better able to restore my previous browsing sessions... I am using Windows XP PRO SP3 32-bit.
    But I was also told that if I went to a particular place on Microsoft Windows, I know how to get the file extensions, so far I have had no luck with assistance here... hoping someone can help.
    Or... do you something if I activate a restore point which would be an easier option?
    I'm old & not a geek, if need you detailed instructions please

    Thanks in anticipation... I am very grateful to be able to request...
    Kind regards

    Session files are located in your profile folder and are named sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If you have had an accident, FF load automatically and ask you if you want to use the session crashed.

    If you don't have an accident, you can load the last session in FF from the default home page by clicking on the restore session. If you have changed the default home page you can call it by adding on: houses a copy of your FF shortcut. Simply change as follows...
    Then, you will see this...
    Click on restore the previous session.

  • Help! A registry cleaner/duplicate file remover program deleted my file extensions!

    Help, please! A solvent cleaner/duplicate file registry program removed nearly all my file extensions, and I can't open any files excet a .pdf file. Several weeks ago, I went online looking for ways to increase my memory on my Windows XP Professional. I had no business playing with this stuff. I'm not tech savy. For some reason, I thought I knew what I was doing. I downloaded several different free programs, which were supposed to increase the memory on my hard drive. I don't know what program was the culprit, but she deleted my file extensions. Is there a free program that fixes / replaces all the typical file extensions? Please, please advise.

    Use system restore to return to a time before your error - this should restore the registry to its previous state and resolve the problem.
