How to stop Lenovo desktop computer to be hacked

I have a Lenova desktop computer, purchased of opportunity. Operating system is Windows XP Proffesional. Before that I had a HP Slimline desktop computer and two computers were hacked: I poured the HP only to find that opportunity has also been invaded. The modem is a wireless network - but I couldn't have my own security password entry so I gave up and just to 'wired' left if you know what I mean.
On the two browser is Firefox. Store-bought Kaspersky Anti-virus, installed and doesn't seem to help at all and always reported 'normal' I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. I know who did this, although too much to do right now. I called the international police and the police local, or even answer. I think that maybe because I never do / banking transactions online and there was no financial loss / nor imply an online business or personal website.

I'm afraid of that person. My technical knowledge of computers is lacking.

Hello

Even if your computer uses a wired connection, WiFi is always available from
the router for the hacker still has access.

Check with the support of the manufacturer of your router and check with their documentation online and
forums. You want to reset the settings of the router security, SID (name) and password.

  • How to stop the desktop.ini ' ready to be written to the disk?

    Hello everyone,

    I want to warn the desktop.ini (or any other hidden system file) automatically added to the list of "files ready to be written to disk.

    1. I know the desktop.ini file is, I know that it is harmless and that it only stores information about the settings of the folder and stuff like that. And I know that it can be deleted without worry (except the loss of the settings of the folder, I don't care about) but I want to remove it, anyway, as I
    1.1. to burn own discs without all the files on them that do not need to be there.
    1.2. don't always want to see the file when I am looking at the contents of a CD/DVD-ROM.
    1.3 still won't delete the file manually.

    2. I don't want simly hide system files, because I want to see them in other folders and hide a file does not mean deleting the file.

    3. I don't want to change access rights to the folder that is used as a temporary folder for "Files ready to be written on the disc" so that the user that I use windows with has no write access, because I don't want to lose the ability to burn other files with Windows Desktop using this user.

    And even better: is it possible (perhaps a registry entry) which prevents writing these files desktop.ini in general to Windows 7?

    Thank you very much for your answers! :)

    Kind regards

    Hello

    This file will be always included when burning data on the disk as it is by design and the file is required to be included. Therefore, there is no other way to exclude the file when burning the disc.

    If its a license upgrade, the machine or virtual machine (Parallels) must have a previous qualifying installed license.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Dell desktop computer just ran scan & system - failure of the card mother how fix this?

    Hi, I have a Dell desktop computer that came with an Epson printer & all the other necessary things: keyboard, mouse, speakers, & flat screen.  I bought it in 2009.  I'm on social security, so I can't afford to buy a warranty with Dell, which missed.  My system works fine.  Dell offers, free of charge, a scan to check the memory card mother and other issues.  I do the scan every month.   It was record past in all categories.

    However, I just did a scan on July 6, 2013 and the analysis of response of the system said failure in red.  Then he said: 'mother' I know refers to the hard drive.  I am over 65 and fairly low tech & live alone.  However, I am pretty savvy, computer or as much as I can be.

    I checked the help MSN menu, but could not follow him.  This is why I post my question on the MSN Community forum, which helped me with other problems in the past.  I have also just posted on the Dell forums.  I have MSN as my homepage & use IE 9, it works best for me.  The only email I have is on AOL and I've been there for years without any problem.

    I have Verizon FIOS; If I can't get an idea of how this problem on the forums (in fact, I prefer MSN forums) I'll call them.  They offer free advice by telephone.  If necessary, they will come to my apartment to check my system & require a rate SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the Geek Squad.

    However, I did not do anything to the system.  I have update printer drivers, since the printer has suddenly stopped working when I replaced the cartridges.  I don't think that this should be a problem.  I replaced the cartridges before.  I have an Epson Stylus NX110 printer/scanner/copier & called Epson, they SUCK.  The printer comes with the computer.  I have installed new drivers & the printer works fine.  I do not have a wireless system, & I don't have a digital camera.  The only other conflict can be I have two Microsoft Security Essentials AND free AVG downloaded as my anti-virus, anti-spyware.

    I know that the new drivers, I installed the printer were great, it was an update of Epson which I figured out.  I as well need the computer & printer. I am disabled & only at home much & this is my link with the outside world.  I do a little writing & letters print & printing (Yes, postal mail) to friends & also letters to additional government assistance of my State & County.  I appreciate all the advice and I'm sorry it's so long.

    One last thing: I keep getting pop-ups from this survey company called five votes.  I have tried everything to remove them, but they reappear.  I do not take surveys & I get rid of pop-ups.  I have my Blocker on MSN and AOL.  Could these pop-ups have corrupted my hard drive? I've been doing them for months, it is very likely.

    Thank you, Karen

    First of all - the 'motherboard' does not mean 'hard drive '.  This means that the "mother".  :-)  The drive is the storage processors is the brain and everything connects through... the "mother".

      
    Second - why sweep you all the months?  Unless you are having a problem - well - I suggest you not to do so.  Heck - you may see a false positive.  Do you have any indication that you have a hardware failure?
      
    Here's what I suggest:
    (1) stop the execution of this "free scan of Dell.
    (2) ensure that the drivers of motherboard, video card, network device and peripheral chipset audio are later you can get - on the Dell site for your specific Service and operating system combination label (drivers and downloads section, use your service number and put in the operating system you are using.)
    (3) never use Geek Squad.
    (4) what is the "MSN Help Menu?
    (5) choose AN antivirus software - two is misguided and may cause problems.
    (6) run some scans of malware with the details, I will give you right after that...
      

    Regarding AntiVirus - free are very good: Avira, AVG, Avast, UnThreat

    You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.

    Reset.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  • How to install Windows 7 on my Hp a6302f desktop computer?

    Hello everyone. I am glad that I found this forum. Here's my question:

    I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 on my Hp a6302f preloaded Vista desktop. How can I install a clean new Windows 7? How can I format the computer? all new drivers or things I should do before the upgrade, or just insert the Windows 7 installation disc and follow the instructions on the screen? I want to use my own Windows 7 disc and not a single ordered from HP.

    Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

    John.

    Hello and welcome.

    To do a clean Windows 7 install what you do is simply back up your current files on a disk or USB key or hard drive to make sure that you save your documents, etc., because all data will be erased and also create your original recovery disks if you want to roll back to Vista in the future.

    Then you simpl put in the disk, restart the pc press ESC or just wait and make sure it boots from the cd/dvd drive and follow the steps and choose Custom install/clean install, formatting your drive to erase or click on remove on all players then put in shape, then go then and let it do its thing.

    Don't forget if you need drivers for Windows 7 such as printer or wireless devices, you may be able to use the drivers of supplies for vista byhp on the link below for your pc and choose 32-bit or 64-bit version depending on what version of Windows 7 install and it should work.

    Or simply plug your pc physically to the modem/router because Windows 7 should install pretty much most of the ethernet drivers on install and you should be able to connect to the internet and make the upgrades of Windows and go from there to get other drivers.

    I hope this helps.

    I sell desktop computer and need to know how to remove all of the pc?

    The most difficult part of the first paragraph is to create the boot floppies - which can be complicated and requires installation of Windows disks.

    Perhaps a third simple but effective alternative is simply to re - install Windows on your computer from the disc that came with your computer or from the recovery partition.  Resettlement will delete all files on the disc and replace them with the New Installation of Windows.  At this point, the fragments of your old files may remain on your hard drive.  So once relocation complete, download and install the freeware 'Eraser' software, run it and you want to specify the "free space" erased on your hard drive.  This will overwrite firmly all the data remains that has not already been overwritten by the Windows Installation.
