  Computer was hijacked yesterday with "XP security alert" want to pay me to analysis and clean. Knew it was funny. Managed to get rid of the virus (in appearance) and did a system restore. Since then, have been opening several programs such as anti-virus, security, most of the elements in the Panel of control etc. Always can access internet, but only through IE and Mozilla not. Cannot open Outlook Express and need to connect to the sky for e-mail. Impossible to download and run programs as computer application which program I use to open or run the said downloads.  Help!

  It would seem that your registry database has been changed in order to disable the functioning of all. EXE file. You need to restore it, but cannot use regedit.exe to do. Solution: make a copy of the regedit.exe regedit.comappointed.

  Open a command prompt by typing the Windows key + R and type cmd then hit . Type in this commnd:

  copy c:\windows\regedit.exe regedit.com

  ... and click on . Next type:

  Start regedit.com

  ... and click on .

  In the RegEdit program, navigate to the registry:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command

  In the right pane, double-click the (default) value. Delete the current value data, and then type:

  "%1" %*

  (i.e.: quote-percent-one-quote-space-percent-asterisk)
   
  Close the Regedit utility. Your. EXE files must be start normally now. If the problem persists, or redone surface shortly after this procedure, your computer is still infected. In any event, the execution of full scans with MalwareBytes and your own virus anyti is recommended.

  The complete procedure (for XP) is detailed here.

• After that I did a system restore to get rid of antimalware doctor, I now have no desktop or start menu.

  I did a restore of the ordinary system, and when he returned to reboot, I have no icons the desktop or start menu.  This blank desktop happens in normal startup and in safe mode.  When I try CTRL + ALT + DELETE and then go to run explorer.exe, it does nothing.  When I reboot the computer for about half a second before it closed, I see the desktop icons.  I can't change the users because there is only one, I have not a system restore disk, it's on.  and my registry for explorer.exe looks right to me... anyone know anything else I can try before I take it to a store and pay for a fix?

• Did a system restore... and now it won't let me connect?

  I did a system restore because some programs running properly, running extremely slow, and he said that my CPU usage was 100%. Theere was that a program works do not, so I restored my computer to the last date, I knew that it worked properly, (10/7-only half the program worked), she let me open a session and was much faster, but none of the programs were working now. So I restored as of today, and he let me not open a session. But worked in the same way as it did before the system restore. So, since then, the program worked correctly 10/06 all day, I decided to restore it to the 10/6 No 7/10 as before. Now it won't let me even open a session. When I click on my user name and put my password, it says ' system will not connect PC20 is not available. I tried F8 safe mode, safe mode with network, last known good configuration,... etc. Nothing works. Not even as an administrator. What can I do?

• I have windows vista. I did a system restore. I can restore PIX saved on the backups before recovery was made?

  I have windows vista. I did a system restore. I can restore PIX saved on the backups before recovery was made?

  Hi rich,

  What kind of backup do you have?  If it were a full image backup, restoring them will be difficult unless you restore the entire image.  If it was a normal backup of files and folders, it should be fairly simple.

  Here is an article on the restore procedure: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

  This is a GREAT article on backup and restore Vista process

  http://technet.Microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.Backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.   It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

  Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):

  I have windows vista on my acer aspire 5517 I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password... I don't have a dics in it plese... I need help ASAP

  Next time please post in a forum of Vista. This one is for Windows 7. But since you're here:

  You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent asmuTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

Of course like everyone else in the world, I had to uninstall/enable and disable/download again and reinstall new Adobe Flash 10 and 11 of the shock wave and they keep crashing too! Hello 4 keep screwing browsers and now I get connection network problems. I run Comcast doctor and did everything it said to do, but nothing works. Oh and I added 7-Zip and WinZip also. Likewise, they will not work! Help! Thanks - K & K

  keimanzero,

  Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
  First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

  Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
  Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

  Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

  Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
  2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
     If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

  If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.
