Hello
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
You can use a reliable antivirus and internet security program that scans for threats of malicious software on your PC. If found, they will be deleted. In addition, if nothing is found, you may check the firewall settings if any suspicious application is access to the internet and download files.
You can also open the resource monitor by pressing start, type "Resource monitor", right click and click 'run as administrator '. In windows, on the network tab, you can find the list of applications using the internet connection. You can zero in any unwanted or suspicious of there programs and eliminate them.

I think my computer is "hidden." There are Web sites that I have not visited at all, including the Mozilla developers, who appear as previously visited. In addition, whenever I load a page, it seems to load twice, as if another copy is running in the background. Help, please.
The Firefox sync system don't live synchronization of all of the Web site that you visit on another device. That means, the problem with your sites Web appearing to load twice is more than likely not caused by the synchronization system.
For added security, please change the password for your Firefox sync account to make sure that nobody can access it.
It seems to me that you have an infection on your computer. You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.
Please let me know if the scans detect something.

Hello baberuth,.
· Your computer is on a domain?
· Do you see any suspicious activity indicating that your computer has been used remotely?
Your computer are not accessible remotely if it is on a domain.
If you have your computer password protected your computer is not accessible remotely.
I suggest that you create a password for your account, it will prompt you for the password if it is accessed remotely.
Also, open programs and features and remove the VNC program. Read this article that talks about remove programs:

The model in question is VC863AA #UUW
I want to get back the computer to the factory condition, so I rebooted and you press F11. Everything went exactly like this: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00814731#N72 (chapter "Start a restore from the hard drive and the computer is off")...
.. until step 10, which States:
"The computer restarts and continues in the installation of Windows. Complete the configuration screens and wait until the computer finishes the installation program. "Then turn off the computer, reconnect all devices and turn on the computer.
Yes, the computer restarts. She continues in the Windows installation (it says "medan windows konfigurerar datorn Vanta", which means roughly "Please wait while Windows configures the computer"). After that which was for about 5-10 minutes, the text disappears and the computer restarts by itself.
After that, he gives a normal load Windows Vista bar and after that black screen. It seems to be a little bit alive but jammed somehow. If I let it be for several hours, he goes to the standby mode. If I wake up, he still won't. I can plug a USB another keyboard and he will make some access to hard drive (load a driver probably). I can press the sleep button and it will go into sleep mode. But if I press the power button / stop briefly, it will NOT stop.
So finally, after several hours I forced to shut down (by pressing the power button / stop longer). When I start it, it goes back to behave as explained in the previous paragraph.
If I press F8 during startup and select Safe mode, it goes in safe mode and I get dialogue indicating in Finnish:
«Asenna Windows: Windows ei voi suorittaa vikasietotilassa asennusta.» See devam fenetresdans asennusta uudelleen tietokoneen kaynnistamalla. »
Rough translation:
"Installation of Windows: Windows cannot complete installation in safe mode." "You can continue the installation by restarting the computer.
If I restart the computer, it goes back to the black screen after the windows loading bar.
This suggests that there is something in the installation of Windows who jams it.
I can install Windows Vista from a Vista DVD, but then I can't use the software included with the computer. (App States installation cannot install on a machine that is unauthorized, then of course they are looking for some OEM HP things.)
Any suggestions on how to fix jam that continues with installing Recovery Windows or how to install the software on a normal Vista would be very appreciated.
I solved the problem. Good thing I didn't order the restore disks, because that would not have solved the problem.
I decided to post it because I don't know there will be others who have HP Pavilion Elite m9754sc and will have to face this problem of a black screen after the restoration.
The fact is that the restore worked perfectly, but in this display card driver is buggy and it causes the screen to go black.
I thought that what I installed fresh Vista which worked until I installed the driver from the recovery partition display. I tried VGA, outputs HDMI and DVI on the factory installed GeForce GT220 and none worked.
A defective display driver should normally be no problem we could go in safe mode and fix it to the it. But as with the recovery goes to pre install state (ask what language to use etc.), safe mode does not work.
So the solution is to unlock the display of the motherboard connectors and remove the factory installed GeForce GT220. Once the recovery and installation of Windows is finished using the graphics card integrated motherboards, you can reconnect the GeForce GT220 and get a updated driver with safe mode.

How to transfer files from an old windows XP computer to a new computer windows 7?
Two computers work but when I connect them with an ethernet cable, they recognize each other. I also tried connecting them through my home wireless network, but they have not yet recognized each other.
Hello
To connect two computers with a cable, not a router, it must be a crossover cable.
These are special cables, but they are not expensive.Connect two computers using a crossover cable (XP - Windows 7 may be the same)

How can know you if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista?
I was not aware that the default Administrator account is so easily accessible if there is no password on it. In my view, a standard user has accessed this and it seems that the computer is having a lot of problems now. Is there a way to tell? Needless to say I care that much personal info could acceded as well as commercial information. Security, 3 administartors (users) appears in some of the boxes, and I only know 2 of them, myself and the default admin? I'm a recruit of the computer and the other person is somewhat a geek so I could really use some help. I am the system administrator, but don't really know what to look for. I would really appreciate if some wiz could help me.
Thank you
Hello
You can't find if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista. You will need to set up a password so that no one will be able to access the admin account.

I did this after intro animation effects and it was made entirely from photoshop files and my comp in AE settings is HDV 1920 x 1080 square pixels 25,.
Then they asked me out of the movie at 1920 X 1080 MPEG H.264 NTSC 29.97 progressive, someone has an idea how?
1. to adjust for NTSC composition without affecting the report l / h.
2 - this film must be rendered in RGB + ALPHA, and yet the mpeg does not support this definition, it seems that the record will be in the video codec animation or other.
I am bit confused if I need to adjust the model, or leave it and set the video codec only.
Thank you
If you have (or get) MPEG Streamclip, which is free, you can open the anamorphic clip and resize it to 1080 true. You will be able to choose H.264 as a codec. It will be if necessary deinterlacing. Suppose that the MPEG card is a MP4 container.
Good luck.
