    Response of Malkeleah to you to read and let me add the following:

    If I interpret what you wrote above correctly, you're running
    with No anti-virus installed. If that is correct, you play
    with fire. After getting the problem is now solved, don't forget to does not work
    Once again, without security software installed. And you don't have to spend
    money for security software. Here's my standard recommendations:

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
    to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one of the
    three of the following:

    Avira
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials

    You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
    (both freeware) to install MalwareBytes AntiMalware and
    SuperAntiSpyware.

  • Everyone to understand how to get rid of the Homepage Virus Lenovo?

    I launch IE and it has two fixed home pages. A Lenovo MSN and a Lenovo site. I can change the premiera but cannot get rid of the second tab site of Lenovo.

    Also, I can't to plain Jane MSN as even typing that redirects to the version of Lenovo.

    I'm really crank on this subject! I get the bloat-ware and took a little of it but I really don't want to erase it. I might just get the 8 GB of recovery partitions, but this issue is really like Lenovo cramming their message in my throat.

    If someone Lenovo watches these boards, consider as a suggestion.

    In Internet Explorer go to tools-> Internet Options. On the general tab, the homepage field, remove the two URLS of Lenovo homepage, then click on apply. Now click New use "subject: tabs" should appear in the home page field. If you want a different page then type its URL and click on apply.

  • Get rid of the error flash ocx with Windows Vista Premium

    How can I get rid of a "Flash ocx" error on my system? I run Windows Vista premium.

    THX,

    Joel

    Hello


    Where do you find that flash ocx error?
     
    Method 1 : uninstall and reinstall the Flash Player and check if the problem occurs.

    Method 2 : run the clean boot and see if the problem still occurs.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP, Vista or 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.

    Note: Follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

    Hope that helps.

  • E-mail addresses of removal of Smartphones blackBerry is no longer in use - cannot get rid of the icons. Advanced restore?

    Hi, I recently lost my phone and got a replacement yesterday.  I restored my backup of a few months back, but he understood some email addresses, that I don't use anymore and I don't want them on the handset.  I had been online to my blackberry and orange Web page and delete these email addresses it and then re-sent service books.  I also took the battery out and reloaded several times.  However, icons of e-mail on the home page will not disappear - I "hide", and then in all applications where electronic mail is used, the list of my email addresses include these "deleted".

    Anyone know how to get rid of these?

    My new replacement phone has annoyingly crashed, then they send me a new tomorrow.  I managed to save today before it crashed, so I can restore my settings when I get a news.  When I do a restore is it possible to restore everything except email addresses? And then I can just manually reset the because it is fairly simple.

    If anyone has any ideas...

    Thank you, J

    Once you have made the restoration on the new device:

    1. Go to Options > advanced > Service books and remove those email accounts you don't want, you will see two entries for each e-mail account, a [CICAL], and a [CIMIME] entry.
    2. Then, return to your Orange BIS account configuration and delete the accounts of unwanted emails again, if they're still there.

    Good luck.

  • He had to get rid of the fake site Mandiant U.S. Cyber-Security.

    Firefox has been infected by a Web site that will open when Firefox opens and can be closed in an ordinary way. I had to go to the Windows Task Manager to get out of the screen, but if I open Firefox, it appears again. It shows the suspicious address "gov.us-cybersecurity.com/go/" and claims to be affiliated with the FBI. It is imperative that amount paid through MoneyPak. This is obviously false, but it is a real nuisance. I tried to clean the cache - no help. Tried to uninstall Firefox, hoping to be able to reinstall a clean browser - but can't uninstall.

    Even though I prefer Firefox, I submit this thru for Internet Explorer, that I will continue to use it until I have to find a way to clean up Firefox.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  • How to get rid of the fake windows security alert virus

    There was a virus on my laptop in the last two months. on the bottom taskbar, there's a red 'x' icon shield and whenever I try to go it takes me to the esentials Security page and he said: "the Security Center service is disabled" and it lights whenever I try to turn it on. also it doesn't let me access the internet or try to restore the laptop. I tried all solvents of spyware as spyware doctor and malware bytes, but it seems that I still have not had the problem again. help because this situation is greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Hello

    One way to solve the problem would be to backup your important data (redundancy) and then re - install
    Windows after formatting the drive. Check with the manufacturer of your system's support to see what you need to do
    that (and you probably already have what is necessary). You can buy the installation discs for Windows in the system
    machine cheaply if necessary since you already own windows.

    =====================================

    Another method would be to ensure that the malware is detected and deleted with internet access being
    restored.

    Try typing several times F8 as you start and select a Safe Mode with networking. If that works to proceed to the
    methods below. (You can try wired access and wireless if you have both available). If this does not work
    then use another computer to download the drivers and the necessary programs and transfer them to your machine
    on removable media.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however you must also run them
    the Windows when you can.

    It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: you want to update the drivers WiFi and wired (NIC).

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
