  • 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.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.

  • How to get rid of the virus Windows 7 activation key product? (Solved)

    Yesterday my laptop ran fine, I was connected to the House of a friend playing a game online with no problems of virus said. Then when I take my computer laptop home and run it a strange thing happened on start up. He said that the program 'autochk' is not found while he was going to skip this program and continue the startup of Windows 7.

    Then I logged in and as soon as I connected the screen said there have been changes to the Windows system and shortly after that pops up another window saying that my Windows 7 was not authentic and that I need to provide my product key to reactivate. I do not give him the key because I knew it was a virus attack, so I do not suspect that I caused the problem to get worse (at least not yet).

    The strange thing I noticed when using my laptop, it's that when I bring up the Task Manager (I used this to try to find any unusual programs running) my username and one other 'user' unspecified wrote in Japanese, Chinese or Korean (I can't tell the difference on a computer). The strange thing is that I have no problem, most of the programs running and in fact have little or no consecutive effects, but I don't want to let this virus stick long enough to prove me wrong.

    I used several programs antivirus and anti-malware, including my own purchased CA security, as well as Trojan Remover, Malwarebytes and Windows security scanner to find the virus said and NOTHING turned up. I fear that this program that has infected my computer could steal personal information so I have really limited my use of games and whatnot, I'd be worried about this information? If so I would like to know ASAP if I change just in case such information. Finally, I'll give you my card to my system if necessary below to help solve this problem. Thanks in advance to all who help, I really appreciate it.

    System Specs:

    Model: Lenovo B560
    Hard drive: 250 GB
    RAM: 4 GB
    OS: Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition

    EDIT: I forgot to add that I do not have a background on my laptop nor can I ask my screen and it says in the lower right corner Windows 7 Build 7601 this copy of Windows is not genuine. I also cannot display my internet connection or battery life in the status bar down in the lower right and can not use my laptop built in touchpad.

    I actually ended up having a restore point system a few days before I got the virus, so I ended up just to help that, since I don't have many files added/deleted my account. In this situation, it is what I would recommend to anyone else that it will save you a lot of time and effort. If for some reason you can't use a Hitman Pro system restore point allows you to find the virus (I ended up using that before I decided to use the system restore). This will fix not damage to your computer, but if you want to ensure that it is safe to do something before you use so the anti-virus software, I described previously, he was the only of what I have listed who found the virus.

    @ Sathish S V Thanks for the help despite the fact that I don't end up using your advice, I was surprised and confused at all first when the virus struck but then figured out on my own since it took time to get a response then I needed to solve this problem as soon as POSSIBLE.

  • Cannot access Internet and all programs on the start menu. How to get rid of a virus on windows xp

    I was recently given a hand computer (compaq I tthink) so I'm not clear about all the fancy stuff to the extent of the ect CPU... but I know it has windows xp pro. in any case, a friend used my computer and for some reason any felt the need to download a program called 7-zip. Now, my computer is screwed... In the start menu > all programs, everything has disappeared! And I can access the system restore in normal boot and safe mode, but the window remains empty, we never really gave me the opportunity to use it. Oh and I can't get online in normal or safe boot mod either, what can I do?

    Original title: how to get rid of a virus on windows xp proremove a virus from windows xp pro

    Hello

    1. Why do you think that the computer is infected with the virus? See you pop - unwanted ups or odd behavior of all programs?

    2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

    3. did you run any online scanners to remove infections?

    4. What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    Method 1: Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

    www.Microsoft.com/Security/Scanner

    Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

    Method 2: Safe mode with networking

     

    Step 1: Check if you can browse the Internet with success in Mode safe mode with networking.

    Networking Mode safe mode starts Windows in mode safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

     

    Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

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

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    Step 1: Follow the steps in the link below to do the same thing:

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as shown here:

    Step 2: To configure Windows to use a Normal startup state

    After you have used the boot is a way to solve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

    1. Click Start and then click Run.
    2. Type msconfig and click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
    3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    Method 3:

    Create a new user account and verify if you are able to access the program in the start menu.

    Try to connect with a different user has administrator rights account and then create a new user account.
