HP laptop Pavilion 15 PC - 'rootkit' file scanned with McAfee
When running an analysis of complete systems using McAfee, scan has stalled on a file named "rootkit". I chatted with McAfee, and they asked for a tool that has corrected the problem. However, when I ran another scan I noticed that one of the files that have been done scroll as the performed analysis was "rootkit" - which contained no other identifiers. This time the scan does not get stalled on the file, but I wonder if this file has to be on my computer?
At the heart of the expression 'rootkit' is two words-'root' and 'kit '. Done root referring to the Almighty, "Administrator" account on Unix and Linux, and kit refers to a set of programs or utilities that allow someone to maintain the root-level access to a computer. However, another aspect of a rootkit, beyond maintaining root level access, is that the presence of the rootkit must be undetectable.

Unable to restore my laptop because I have corrupted files.
Original title: Windows 64 c
Windows 64 c says I have corrupted files, if I can't restore my laptop to an earlier date. What should I do?
Hello
Run the sfc/scannow command.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

You have a laptop. So try the right button on your touchpad. It work?
If so, the only remaining possibilities are:
1. bad mouse. Get a new one.
2. defective UBS port. Plug the mouse into a different port. See if the right click of the mouse works this time.P.S. We do give advice to users via e-mail. All responses must be published and remained in this forum so that others with the same problem will use the answer.

OfficeJet 6600 does not recognize my new HP Pavilion windows 8.1 for scanning
I have a HP Officejet 6600 networking with my new HP Pavilion windows 8.1 it prints fine but does not recognize my computer when I want to scan. Whenever I want to scan a document to my computer I have to run Scan doctor. I called tech support and they can't help me because my printer is no longer under warranty as I bought it December 2012. but my office was purchased November 2013. They said that it is clearly a problem with the printer and not on the computer. They won't even talk to me or answer my questions without fees being paid first. The scanner recognizes my laptop and desktop to the husband who have vista and 7, respectively. But I don't understand why it will print without difficulty and habit of scanning.
Hi leila1964,
Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.
I want to offer a helping hand with the 8.1 of Windows not scanning with your HP Officejet 6600. When you run the HP print and Dr. Scan on the computer it says it fixes some thing or that it cannot fix what whether?
Given that the printer works on the other two computers (Vista and 7), the problem is with the WIndows 8.1. I want to uninstall the printer software and the HP printer install wizard makes sure that we get the newest software possible.
Let me know how it works.
Thank you

Does anyone has installed Windows 7 on a laptop Pavilion DV2175
If anyone has installed Windows 7 on a laptop Pavilion DV2175 and if so it is 32 or 64 bit
Hello:
There is an unofficial update guide to windows 7 for the series dv2000.
Given that the maximum amount of memory, that you can install on your laptop is only 2 GB, I'd go with W7 32 bit, as a 64 bit OS requires more memory and disk space to run a 32 bit OS only.
Not double, but more.

Hello
Basically, your hard drive is defective and must be replaced to correct the defect, if you are still in warranty please see the link below for details HP will verify that your hard disk has failed by using the ID of the failure.
http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-contact-us.html
If you are out of warranty, you will need to replace the drive yourself or take to a COMPUTER shop local (Hp also out of warranty work)

The digitized files disappear after that scanning with HP Solution Center update
The digitized files disappear after that scanning with HP Solution Center update
Have a HP Officejet Pro L7590 all-in-one. Under Vista 64-bit.
Updated my Center of solutions for version 14. Now when I scan something, it scans OK then when I save to file it away. Looked on the HP site and found Update critical for this problem, however, the critical update is to version 13 and when I try to run it it tells me I need not and will not continue.
Also: (maybe something to do with the problem) when using the / opening of the solution Center, when I goes to the buttons "ScanPicture" or "Scan a Document" and then click on "Change settings" there is nothing in the drop-down list for the ' Scan To: ' section.
Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. Does not work.
See you soon!Hello
Two questions actually related to each other.
Please, try the following:
Make sure that the HP Solution Center is closed.
Enter C:\Program Files (x 86) \HP\Digital Imaging\bin and search for the file hpqxmlul.dll .
Move this file to a temporary folder elsewhere as your office, just to backup porpuses.
Download and save the following file to your desktop, remove it by double-clicking, a new hpqxmlul.dll file appears on your desktop.
Move this file in C:\Program Files (x 86) \HP\Digital Imaging\bin.
Today the launch of the HP Solution Center and test analysis, check any changes with the sweep for list as well.
Please let me know of any changes.

HP laptop Pavilion g6 - stall wifi connection
I got a g6 HP laptop Pavilion for nearly a year, running on Windows 8.1
I am of people (and more) loss of connection wifi to router - all other devices using the same WiFi (desktop, nexus, samsung phone phone) all keep them the connection and internet access, but the Pavilion keeps falling.
Other related posts on this forum suggested the issue may be an outdated driver - how can I check that?
Hello again Pragmata,
It is good to hear from you again!
As the problem persists after that you turn off the laptop, I also recommend following the steps below to correct this problem:
1. open DEVICE MANAGER
2. open the NETWORK CARDS
3. right click on the WiFi adapter for the pc and left click on PROPERTIES
4. click on POWER up.
5 remove the check mark beside: ALLOW the COMPUTER TO TURN THIS DEVICE SAVE START STOP
6. click on OK
7. close DEVICE MANAGER and test.
NOTE: There may also be checked under the CONTROLLER FAMILY (for example. Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller which would belong to the title of the WiFi card). If so, you can remove the check mark next to ALLOW the COMPUTER TO TURN this DEVICE FOR SAVE OFF.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your response!
