    Some malware or virus can be very persistent and difficult to remove effectively.  Ultimately, the preparation of virus so the best defense.  Delivered to a factory condition can sometimes be faster and easier, assuming you're ready. With this in mind:

    • Don't forget to back up your data regularly, especially data that are most important to you (pictures, videos, personal documents, unfinished).
    • Save if possible in more than one place as an external drive, a CD or DVD.

    I don't know what your problem is, but I would point out that when you say "I have no virus", you could very well be wrong

    No antivirus program is perfect, and the more popular (Norton and McAfee) are among the worst. Just because they do not catch something doesn't mean you're not nfected.

    In addition, more virus there are other types of malware, such as spyware, and even if you have no virus, you could be infected with spyware.

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
    to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (do not run more than one) of the following three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software (even if you run a program like Microsoft Security Essentials, with anti-spyware feature integrated into it). I recommend that you download and
    install MalwareBytes AntiMalware (freeware)

  • Before 4 FF I close FF and save my tabs, I have to reopen all my tabs everytime I open FF with 4 FF. A lot of time. Help please

    Before you download FF4, when I closed FF he would ask if I wanted to save my tabs. I use the same 6 or 7 core tabs keep open all online, so when I close FF, I don't want to open them all each time. How do I save my tabs before closing with 4 FF. I urge me to warn that I will close the tabs, but does not give me the option to save for the next session.

    You can use "Firefox > history > restore previous Session" for the previous session.

    There is also a button 'Restore previous Session' on the default on: Home home page.

    Another possibility is to use:

  • After system recovery recently my computer always crashes and support told me I have a virus

    Computer: HP Pavilion p6130y

    My computer started to slow down and freeze after about 1 week ago. Do normal functions and multitasking, that I have the computer completely freezes where I couldn't move my mouse and even ctrl alt delete doesn't work. I have to restart the computer manually and sometimes allowing my computer to load correctly. So I unplug the device and the computer then go back, and I could back into the computer.

    I tried several system restores to the previous points, but the problem continued. Finally, I decided to perform a full recovery of the system. I don't mind not all backup files or put them on flash drives.

    After that, I reinstalled just some of my basic programs I wanted (Chrome, Skype, AVG) and he did a few quick updates to Java, Adobe, etc.
    The problem continues. Where now if I have 6 tabs open Chrome, my computer would slow down and eventually freeze, making me even once having to manually restart the computer. I also noticed if the computer go to sleep that he wouldn't wake up and work, it would be frozen.
    I ran AVG virtually every hour to make sure I wasn't picking up any virus, but he'd always clean.
    I finally called HP support and they told me that I have some kind of Virus, but that he would not go in detail unless I paid for their services which I can't afford right now.
    After hearing it was a virus, I disconnected the computer from the internet, but continues to run. I can hear weird noises to beep-beeps and fan runs constantly. The beeps sounds where sounds I had never heard of my computer before... They were different, then the typical beeps you hear when the computer loads up.
    I have read as much info about it, but did not find much that relates to my problem and I'm really not tech savy enough to explore the computer myself and hopefully address them myself.
    Can anyone help? At this point, I'm worried about the same connect to the internet. Suggestions?

    Hello

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft security on your computer Scanner and check if it helps:

    Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

    You can check if you face the same question in a different user account or a new user account. You can create a new user account on your computer and check.

    Step 2:

    Create a new user account-

    WINDOWS XP / HOME EDITION / 2002 VERSION / SERVICE PACK 3

    Can I download Windows XP Service Pack 3 on the Microsoft site and save it to a disk?
    I was going to wipe my hard drive and reinstall the operating system on my machine, but I don't have the original CD supplied with my machine.
    I was informed by a representative of Microsoft Answers to contact the manufacturer of my machine because windows was preinstalled. After contacting the manufacturer of my machine, the representative told me that I could buy a Windows XP installation CD and install Windows XP on my machine.
    Is it possible to download Windows XP Home Edition / Service Pack 3 on a website and burn it to a CD and then use that CD to reinstall the Windows XP operating system on my machine? That's what I need http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=25129
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    NO, you can not do what you plan to do.

    The files available for download called "Windows XP Service Pack 3" are updated to a full installation of Windows XP.  You can either download an ISO (or 'image') - which is what is your link - or executable file (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24).

    The ISO file or image is used to create a CD using software able to do this, for example ImgBurn(free).

    In both cases, what you get is the 'service pack' and not the full Windows operating system.

    You need a Windows XP installation CD.  It may be 'gold' (as originally published) or you can find one that integrates the service pack 1 or service pack 2 or service pack 3.  If you get a pre - sp3 installation CD, you will need to update the installation soon after installation.  You can go from sp 1 directly to sp3 without need to install sp2, but if you get an installation CD "gold" you first need to install sp 1 or sp2 before installing sp3.

    Because Microsoft stopped selling Windows XP some time ago, real installation CD are becoming harder to find.

    Although the representative of the manufacturer of your computer is correct that you could buy a Windows XP installation CD and install it, the manufacturer was hired by its license from Microsoft to provide you with a method of re-installing Windows when you purchased the computer.  This may have been a restore partition hidden on your hard drive or a CD/DVD that came with your computer.  I guess that you have lost or damaged what was initially provided so the manufacturer is more able or do not want to replace it with a CD.

  • CS5, slow to get the "open" and "Save" over the network computer dialog box.

    I had this problem, since the suite has been installed, but recently got a lot slower. Whenever I have click on open or save, it takes 8-10 seconds just for the upcoming dialog.  CS1 has quick relief - I know it was hundreds of years ago, but I can't help but compare the two.  I have the same problem with InDesign and Illustrator. The suite is running on a Windows 7 computer with a home network, access files of a machine XP as a Buffalo Linkstation.  Once the dialog box appears, and I double click, the file is pretty quick to appear.  I did research online and I think that the problem was in the network or settings.  The network is fast, Windows Explorer has no delay in opening the search for files or other programs outside of the Creative Suite. I did an experiment to refine the problem - I closed Photoshop, disconnected the network cable and reopened the program.  WONDER - it was so FAST to open the dialog box for opening and saving files!  I closed and then Photoshop again, plugged the cable network Photoshop to and open back.  He was back at the slow opening of the dialog box.  Everything else in the programs works fine - no delay during the execution of the operations in one of the Creative Suite - it has to do with the network and how CS is looking for the files.  Can someone help me, I'm so frustrated - it adds unnecessary time to everything I do and I'm afraid to open and save files!

    Have you tried to work with the display of the dialog box at all under Windows 7 under the drop to organize (left side)? Also, is - one of your Favorites in this dialog box are pointing to something that might be offline?
