• How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can?

  Switch issues. Help, please.

  How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can? We already checked the firewall as a question, that it was not, and now, we are puzzled.

  Well, I know that the issue is long-term... believe me, it's a long, but as they say, the devil is in the details. Anywho, the question is, my grandfather has a HP laptop, which for two years has been able to run through a Linksys switch to his router and connect its printers to his laptop. About two months ago it suddenly doesn't work like that. Now, it works fine if it plugs directly into the router/Ethernet. My uncle suggested that the switch was bad, but after testing the same port, cable and all, the switch worked well for him. ' GRAMPS really needs this answered, but someone else, it is called can not understand and now I, in turn, ask you all for what you can offer. Here are the ideas that we have already discredited.

  -Switch bad: as above, is that this particular laptop, even under identical conditions, the works of my uncle very well.
  -Bad NIC: debunked through the fact we connected to the computer directly to the router and it worked fine.
  -Bad configuration of the firewall: we have disabled the firewall (please do not notice, he wasn't the smartest idea, we already know) and even if she recorded the switch exists, the internet is always triggered when you are connected with the switch.

  Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide and Merry Christmas to you all.

  It would be useful to consult the results of the ipconfig/all command both when it is connected to the switch and when it is connected directly to the router.  In addition, what is the model of the switch?

  To save the manual copy and the new hits of the ipconfig/all command output-

  First connect through switch.
  Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  Type the following lines in the black command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

  echo "Connected via the button" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
  ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".

  Now connect directly to the router, type the following lines in the command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

  echo "Connected to the router" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
  ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
  Notepad '% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt '.
  output

  Copy the contents of the Notepad window in your response (if you use the laptop when it is connected directly to the router) or close the Notepad window, and then copy ipinfo.txt of the laptop to the Gramps in a USB FlashDrive you can connect to any computer allows you to answer.

  You can delete ipinfo.txt on the desktop when you are finished.

  * - Original title - corrupt protected windows files

  I bought a used computer and it turns out he had a virus which damaged protected windows file. It did come with an xp disk. If I buy a new program windows that will fix my problem or the virus still be there and gnaw the new OS?

  Hello

  I want to let you know that the virus will always be there in the disk hard even if you install a new operating system, unless you do a clean install. Therefore, the elimination of the virus completely would be the best option from now.

  You need to do a full scan to remove all remaining virus.

  Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

  Since you do not have a disk, I suggest to create a new user account and check if everything is working well.

  To add a new user to the computer: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/usercpl_add_user.mspx?mfr=true

  If the problem is resolved, then follow the steps in the article to transfer data from the damaged to the new user profile user profile.

  How to copy data from a user profile damaged to a new profile in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151

  If the problem persists, then you must do a repair of XP installation to get a new OS without the corrupt files. Please refer to the Windows XP section.

• What is the Crime of manufacturing computer virus and their distribution?

  I'm tired of all these viruses... the creators of these are WORSE THAN drug users and Postitutes.  Prostitutes do not have something wrong to others and are either drug addicts.  Manufacturers of these viruses are indeed unfair to others.

  I am low income, and it cost me so much money either to buy a new computer or repair damage of viruses have.

  It is a show...

  I wish that people would cease to distribute computer viruses...

  Hello

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  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.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

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

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE 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.

• Computer stops when the power to the computer to sleep, on computer virus problem

  Hello

  When I put my pc sleep and wake him up, a window pops up saying that the machine has stopped unexpectedly, and then the pc automatically reboots by itself,.

  after reboot, a window box comes in saying that the pc rebooted one... and that Windows will inform me what to do.  What happened yesterday and today.

  I must say however that Friday evening, August 24, my pc was slow work, since a few days I noticed, but Friday it was slower, I could see that something

  moving in often via the little blue wheel icon that shows that something is happening.

  I "had" McAfee Total Protection in my machine since 08/05/2012 and last night I clicked on the McAfee to do a full Scan of my pc, because I thought there was something fishy in it.  McAfee Full Scan clicked, a blue page with white letters arrived, quick and deep that I saw Dump numbers going up to 100, then the blue screen came out and restarted my PC.  After reboot a small box of Windows came to say that the machine had stop unexpectedly, he

  has run a control bar, when in fact something like 'your stop machine unexpectedly and windows will inform you what to do', something like that.  I then

  new click the McAfee icon, click the full sweep, the same thing happens again anywhere.

  Then, I went to the website of McAfee and talkative with Technical Support, he came into my pc to see for himself, he opened the Navigation button and had IP

  address to which McAfee was 'downtime '.  He told me I had a virus in my computer... He gave me a phone # to call for assistance in the removal of the virus. I called, the man

  did not come into my PC to see, he said, I had to pay $89. something taken him. I closed with him, went with the customer, aksed for my refund...

  sad situation, but I withdrew my PC with McAfee.

  I've downloaded Malwarebytes, checked my PC had 2 Trojan horses, you click on Remove to remove the.  Still had Malwarebytes in pc, I went to Trend Micro, which I had before in my pc for years and renewed my Sub. with them and has installed. After doing a full Scan, no virus.

  I made a 'machine checking if' work properly AM early this morning.

  This afternoon, August 25. I opened my pc, the audit began, time + after pc restarted normally, then all of a sudden the blue window came with white letters, dump numbers went up to 100 then pc rebooted, Windows little box came "... unexpected" and normal ran pc after.  Worked a bit on the pc then place to sleep so I could go somewhere, when I clicked on the mouse to wake up, as I always do in the pc, it awakened, blue page with while that the lettering came, took place on the same things as above.  PC ran good, had to go eat, put the pc to sleep, came back same thing occurred again

  I searched what happens and found nothing.  I went to the community, there nothing either.  So I'm here today to help hoping that you know what is happening.

  Thank you for your time and your help.

  Hello

  Currently, you have a program full-time antivirus installed on the computer?

  If you do not have one, I suggest you to install Microsoft Security Essentials.  Follow this link to download.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Run a Scanner online from Microsoft.

  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.
  The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

   

  Method 2: To remove the virus manually, see the article:

  How to remove a computer virus?

  Important: The Troubleshooting Manual in the link above steps show you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
