How to convince me that I do not have a virus?
For some reason, recently I became paranoid that my computer may have a virus. However, I do not think, he does, but I could not convince myself that it is not. I run F-secure as an antivirus and firewall, a router with a firewall so built his own, regularly run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Malicious Software Removal Tool. If someone knows a way I could convince me that my computer does not have a virus please post.
Thank you.
If you have a good firewall, do not surf the Web for XXX content, use illegal software / music, use antivirus software, use a Wifi secure network ONLY (if you are using wifi) and using malwarebytes, you are OK.

I've recently updated my Vista to Service Pack 2, and a lot of problems arise. I've never had these problems with Service Pack 1.
(1) my hard drive space keeps disappearing. I used to have 10 GB of free space and now he got up to 400 MBs. Where is he past? I have not installed any programs or downloaded viruses. I've never had this problem until Service Pack 2 has been installed. I heard people saying delete "restore points" but I've never had this problem with SP1. Why SP2 should change my settings without my consent? How can I recover my memory disappears?
(2) update my window is DISABLED. I never left my computer install updates by itself, because I like to choose what updates I want. However, I always get 'new' random programs whenever I restart my computer. Just recently (4 days after I installed SP2) I have a 'maintenance' folder in my Start menu. I did some research and it said that I had already installed maintenance, but then why he told me it was a 'new program' when I've had it for awhile?
(3) my battery life went from roughly 15 minutes an hour. While I understand batteries degrade over time, I highly doubt he would go from 1 hour 15 minutes instantly. I'm not an engineer so I have no idea how batteries work, but I guess that my autonomy would see a gradual decline. In addition, I find it very doubtful that my autonomy would diminish much the day of this, I installed SP2. What are the ways for me to reduce the process that SP2 uses so I can save my autonomy?
Thank you
Hi 60201
You can try the following steps and check.
Step 1:
You try to run a disk cleanup to remove unwanted files and check if the problem persists.
For more information, run Disk Cleanup, see the following link:
Delete files using disk cleanup.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup
Step 2:
This can also occur if the power options are changed. You can check the power settings.
Check out the link:
Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme)
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-create-or-delete-a-power-plan-scheme
Also check that the size of the hyberfil.sys and pagefile.sys
If hibernation is enabled, the hyberfil.sys file size will be more.
You can also check the event viewer to check any recent activity that happens on the computer as well as the performance.

What I'm doing. I was told that I had several viruses by Mycleanpc. I have access to my computer and their technicians said: I got 4 viruses. So I down loaded Microsoft safety scanner. He did a full scan to find and remove viruses etc. He said none found. It can miss or Mycleanpc was trying to charge me a service I didn't need. My computer started to jump and slide a little. What I'm doing.
... I was told that I had several viruses by Mycleanpc...
IMHO, MyCleanPC is pixie dust powder. It locates errors imagined in a PC and charges exorbitant prices to set said mistakes or minor.99.99% of the PC have some sort of minor errors that do not affect the performance or stability. Companies like MyCleanPC take advantage of these small anomalies and naivete of people to make a quick buck.If your computer has real malware or virus infection, any free scanner would identify them and probably delete. If they could not be removed, more aggressive methods are available free of charge.BTW, pixie dust powder has to make people feel better. But then it was usually 50-75% alcohol. -
I'm currently developing the feature keys on my MacBook. In the process, he asked that I enter a code sent by message to a phone number (only the 2 last digits are revealed) that I do not have access to. How can I fill the activation?
See "change how the new features can be approved" here:
OS X Yosemite: Configure iCloud keychain
As you can see, this allows you to change the phone number.

ICloud Keychain how can I change the phone number needed to verify the code text for me? The number it was sent is an old phone number of my friends that I do not have access to the.
Try this from another thread I saw.
On iOS, go to settings > iCloud > keychain and tap button to disable iCloud keychain. (you will be asked to delete or keep the passwords on device) I chose to delete...
Then turn it back on, and pop - up chose reset iCloud trousseau, on a chosen pop-up confirmation reset
In the new window pop up use iPhone password like iCloud cryptogram? has chosen the use code
Enter your secret code (4 digits) then choose country and your new phone number
Although, to "Restore the iCloud Keychain," I took to erase the data and essentially set up a new keychain. Not the case. Strangely, after essentially bypassing the security system, setting a new password and verification number, I see my cards, passwords and other data have been restored. Maybe it's all the iCloud account and this master password. Or maybe it's a bug. With Apple, we'll never know.
Also have a look here: get help using iCloud Keychain - Apple Support

I downloaded a free trial version and do not want to continue. You make it impossible to find a way to let you know NOT to me to pay for a subscription. How can ensure me that I am NOT charged!
Hello
You will not be charged as long as you provide no payment option to Adobe.
You can continue to use your 30 days trial period and then he must invite you to buy membership.

What happens if the previous owner of ipad forgotten their password and they are not original owner so that they do not have. their system crashed and they reset their device. so they just lost $ 300? It is NOT stolen or lost.
It requires the Apple ID and password from the previous owner. If you don't have it and can't get it, then the device is useless to you. Return it for a refund if you can.
