HOW OR WHERE CAN I REPLACE THE LACK of FILES that COME WITH WINDOWS?
Ouch! Please do not yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally,
in different cases.
Please answer the following questions:
What virus do you have? How did you know you had it? How did you
get rid of him? What files are missing?

I lost the icons at the top of my desktop (internet explore, empty bin, etc..) How to make a comeback?
If you see this on your desktop, it is not a Windows application. It's a Dell? Are you referring to the Dell docking station?
Start | All programs | Dell folder. The Dell Dock is listed here? If no, go to: start | Search and type Dell Dock. A bit of luck with that?
If you have lost your machine, you can download it here.

I followed the suggestion to improve performance by updating, now I can't get off the start page, I lost my toolbar yahoo with all my features more visited including my favorites and I have more the function of ad block that I had before I did the update process. At this point, Firefox is completely useless for me. How to get back to my old version of place? Firefox has a lot of features that I like, but if I can't access it, they do me no good.
Removing modules is part of the updating procedure, as mentioned in Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons. But in the same article, below, you can see, where to find your old data, including modules. Or you can just install them easily again.

Lost all my thumb nails - new tabs open only a blank page. How to make a comeback?
The subject of support on this issue says look for a "PIN" icon in the upper left corner of the browser. I do not show one. Firefox used to just automatically populate my new tabs with thumbnails page, but is no longer doing this, and I don't know how to fix it.
I downloaded some freeware that has changed a number of navigation options (browser by default, added Bing bar without my full knowledge, etc.). Who has had all removed but then Firefox did not work well, so I had to uninstall/reinstall the program. Now my thumb nails are gone and I can't recover them or create new ones.
Help!
Cheers, DollyHello
You can reset the setting for the page tab by following these instructions:
- In the URL bar, type about: config and press ENTER.
- The subject: config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click on that I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.
- In the search box, type "browser.newtab.url".
- Click the browser.newtab.url preference, and then click Reset. He must then change back to the default which is ' on: newtab'.
- Click OK and close all: config tab.
You can see that it works for a while, but ultimately the problem comes. In this case then I think it is likely that some malware is hijacking your browser and make changes to the settings. That's why the change was made in the first place without your permission. You said that you had deleted the free software that you have installed, but sometimes they seem to have disappeared, but in fact to leave a trace.
In this case, 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
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
I also suggest you do the following:
- a comprehensive analysis with your current antivirus software.
- Watch your Firefox Add-ons and remove any that you install yourself - disable or remove modules
- Look at your list of applications from Windows startup and disable anything you think might be related or suspicious look.
- Look at your list of installed Windows applications and uninstall anything that you think might be related or suspicious look.
More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .
