How can I prevent Microsoft to install malicious software Compattelrunner.exe on my computer?

This is the fourth time I found this malware running on my computer after deleting updates previous three officials.

So I wrote all Windows products ugly recommendations in every venue possible (e.g. Amazon.com) and filed a complaint with the FTC. The bottom line is, in fact, that it is forbidden to install unwanted software on someone's computer, and Microsoft ignores the permission for the Automatic Updates settings. Please tell me if I need to act on this, or if the problem will stop.

Here's the review I posted just for you on Amazon.

Based on my experience with Windows 7.

Installs malware (compattelrunner.exe, an executable file that can be supported more than 70% of your CPU) while not taking into account your update settings ("download updates, but don't ask me which install"). Reinstall this malware after you delete this review was motivated by find it on my computer for the fourth time after that I removed it three times before.

http://searchmidmarketsecurity.TechTarget.com/definition/malware
"Malware (for"malicious software") is a program or file that is harmful to a user of the computer." which includes Compattelrunner.exe because of its effect on the performance of the computer, even though it obviously not to damage files, hold the computer for ransom and so on.

There is no problem with the descriptions of KB, but rather to what Windows Update said you; in other words, go to the KB page to check every update (unless it says security or Windows Defender). They actually sent a Windows Defender or other update the next day, I installed another update.

  • How can I prevent the Win7 installing display drivers just after starting?

    My main use of this particular computer is Microsoft's Flight Simulator X. It's a title 3-4 years and it works better on the 182.5 nVidia drivers than it does on the last drivers out there.

    I just got an ATI card and I'm replacing a nVidia card. I uninstalled the ATI card, used Driver Sweeper in safemode and jumped in the nVidia card. Unfortunately, Windows installs a driver, I don't want to as soon as I get in windows.

    I have disabled the Windows of any kind (temporarilly) updates, but it still happens. Searching on Google I found a solution that starts with-
    -Click Start
    -type in gpedit.msc entered press...

    Unfortunately gpedit does not seem to be on my system, so it stops there.

    I absolutely need the old version of this driver and there must be a clean install not on top of another driver so if anyone knows how to stop the auto install it please help. I spent far too much money on this sim card to be stopped by the present, and I don't want to go back to XP at this point.

    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Oops almost forgot I'm on Windows 7 64 bit.

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

    Edit - Ok in another post here to solve another problem I've seen one person say to uninstall a driver, reboot and cancell the automatic installation of the new driver...

    My problem is that I do not get the dialog box who says it's installing drivers or one that will allow me to stop the installation after I type my password and press enter (log in). After you have clicked on enter it is less than 10 seconds before a dialog box tells me that I must restart to complete the installation. Never thought that I would complain that my ' computer is too fast, LOL!

    If I uninstall the video driver, start in safe mode, run driver Sweeper to get all the bits that are missed, restart back in safe mode I can again install the new drivers (older) then in safe mode? I've never tried something install with safe mode before, so I don't know if it is still possible or recommended.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated,
    Rob

    Hello Samhrutha G,.

    Thank you for your response. I think that your solution would work if Windows has never had the nVidia system driver, but because he did it (from when my settings were to allow updates) install regardless of my settings in the Windows Update settings. You see, I had (temporarilly) the value of this parameter to never to let Windows download and install updates but he ignored that (I tried with your settings too).

    I think I found a solution, but I could be wrong in my understanding. This is my thoughts when you uninstall a video card driver and restart with no 3rd party drivers on your system, Windows uses its driver 'Standard VGA '. I'm not sure but I think that it is the State in which we look after using something like Driver Sweeper in safe mode. Just the driver VGA Standard, this way a clean install of 3 third-party drivers can be made.

    What I did is to use Device Manager to access my VGA card and selected the option Update my driver from a list of drivers already on my system. It gave me the choice of GTX 275 nVidia Driver installation or driver VGA Standard. I chose the standard and restarted. After the restart he tried to update that I don't want, so that's good.

    My next steps will be to start in safe mode, run Driver Sweeper to clean the remnants of the nVidia Driver, restart, leaving the sytem completely load and then reboot again. I wil then install the driver nVidia of my choice.

    If I'm right that which users are usually trying to accomplish with the method Driver Sweeper is Windows just use is driver VGA Standard then I have all good and my card will work better than my old less powerful card (which is not currently the case). I think I'm right because Windows would need some kind of driver to display anything on the screen at all which I assume is his 'Standard VGA' driver.

    Please someone correct me if I'm wrong I typed all this out in the hope of helping others with the same question.

    Thank you once again Samhrutha I thank you for taking the time to offer your help.

  • How can I prevent Windows 7 install the same 2 updates every time I log out

  • How can I prevent the Foxfire loading automatically when I turn on my computer which runs on Windows Vista?

    Foxfire load automatically when that I start my computer after all the other essential programs. I would like to know how to disable the start menu link that allows the program to load when the computer first starts because the Foxfire browser is not necessary when I first start the computer. Furthermore, when I first start my computer, it is not necessarily connected to the internet and it's just a little embarrassing to see foxfire charge when it is not necessary. In addition, it takes up valuable memory in RAM when it's running, so slow down my machine. Please, someone show me how to keep this program to start when I start my computer. Moreover, my system is Windows Vista and Foxfire does not appear in the startup folder. Only by going to clicking on Foxfire default program page it does not show that Foxfire has a hidden defect that makes it to launch at startup of the computer. What I'm looking for must not see when I start my computer.

    Firefox has no opportunity installation to run at startup, you can check the different methods that Windows uses to launch programs. For details see

  • How can I report an attack from malicious software by using your video download? Avast has refused to let it download and then survey myself, it was as an attack.

    An update for Mozilla video appeared when I opened Mozilla this morning. I clicked Yes, because the videos have been seriously lagging behind. Avast flashed immediately that it was a virus, so I stopped it download. After returning from lunch, it does the same thing. The download shows as Video.exe and Avast is described as: URL: hxxp://69.4.238.156/14/NewVideoPlayerSetup.exe and Infection: URL: wrong I don't know enough about software, nothing to do with this, but thought you should be informed that I very rarely get attacks of Mozilla. As a side note, somehow a program called optimizer Pro seemed to drag on my computer at the same time and tries to download himself with the virus.

    Thanks for all the work you do. Mozilla is my favorite browser and you guys are doing a great job with it.

    SRoss62

    More all products that Mozilla has are to say a mozilla.org site link.

    https://mozillalabs.com/en-us/projects/
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/products/

    The only real video related Mozilla, it's https://wiki.mozilla.org/Shumway and more info on http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/

    The site that you downloaded this NewVideoPlayerSetup.exe of was a scam because it uses the inexperience of users and the popularity of Mozilla and Firefox browser to trick people to install this kind of things.

    Next time if you are unsure, you should ask someone will then tell you if it is legitimate or not for example.

  • How can I prevent the software Adobe Reader crashing on my non privileged user?

    I am running Windows 7 and I need to create a user non-preferred on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it crashes almost instantly (I can view the document three seconds approximately). If I just open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click on Edit-> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF file in any browser, it crashes.

    What I was able to guess, it seems that Adobe Reader tries to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried to uninstall Adobe Reader, temporarily to grant privileges to my non-privileged user, install Adobe Reader on this user, and then remove the permissions, but the accident is still happening. The only way to stop Adobe Reader to plant is to start the program as an administrator, or change the type of administrator account. How can I prevent the software Adobe Reader crashing on my non privileged user?

    I had corruption of the registry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders", where many of the keys have values set for the directories of the user of my administration. I did not write exactly which keys have been corrupted and causing the accident, but once I have finished all the fixing Adobe Reader worked perfectly and I was able to open the preferences.

  • How can I get permission to install operating system on a new PC? I provided with the old laptop installation discs, but permission to install them on the new PC is denied.

    My old laptop has ceased to exist. How can I get permission to install operating system on a new PC? I provided with the old laptop installation discs, but permission to install them on the new PC is denied.

    original title: operating system

    My old laptop has ceased to exist. How can I get permission to install operating system on a new PC? I provided with the old laptop installation discs, but permission to install them on the new PC is denied.

    If the installation provided with your Windows computer discs was preinstalled on the computer - it is OEM and cannot be moved. You can move Windows to another computer if you buy the retail version.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • How can I get Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus security?

    After another year of Norton 360, I got the stupid games of Symantec, tired of the ot, uninstalled and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials.  I restarted my computer (Dell Dimension 8200 running Windows XP Pro 2002).  After that, I ran services.msc impatiently as my program of service to show that my antivirus security worked and I had nothing to fear.  Imgine my grief when my service center reported that my computer was always subject to viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other forms of malware.  I thought, perhaps, I had reduced the activity of some vital download too quickly and, therefore, have prevented a good download.  So I tried again, this time with a lot more patience...   This time, I received a message that the program was already on my computer, asking if I wanted to replace it with the new download.  Because the first time I acted in a hurry, I replied that I tried the second download try replacing the Lerna, this time with a lot more patience.  There is no apparent change that showed the Security Center: no protection against the virus.  How can I get Microsoft Security Essentials to act as my antivirus program and my Security Center to recognize it as such?

    Hi David,

    Glad to hear thiings are better. Do not forget to chek that MSE will automatically update the definitions that every 24-48 hours and regular tests are carried out. Also suggest that you go to settings > default Actions and change to quarantine all. don't forget to 'Save changes'. This is recommended to avoid problems such as potentially unwanted programs and the removal of the odd false positive.

    You are definitely not alone in your skepticism about Norton and other paid for antimalware solutions.

    Feel free to mark my initial response as response and/or useful.

    Have a day without malware.

    Kind regards
