  • lost or stolen iPhone. It is w / 'Find my iPhone', later received email that it has been found. No call and impossible to recover, now phone is in offline mode. I am leasing through the iPhone upgrade program. Help, please.

    6 sec more lost/stolen iPhone. Turned on the 'lost' Mode and displays the number to call if found on-screen. It is w / "Find my iPhone", went up, no response from any home in the area. Later received an email that it was found, still no call to the number on the screen. Several unsuccessful attempts to get it back, now the phone is in offline mode and says that the history of the site is not available. I left a note on all the doors in the place indicated on the "find my iPhone" describing my phone lost and left a number to call. I am leasing through the iPhone upgrade program. Help, please.

    There is no way to locate now, unless the one who found it exerts a force on you contact on this number you posted

    The good news is, since you have find my iPhone, they will not be able to reuse the phone even if they are trying to restore. Unless they know your password, or you have a valid proof of purchase AGFI won't be deleted.

    So if the person who found the phone knows about it, he or she would rather go back because it would be of no use to them.

  • Active, vs running Virus/Trojan, Virus found in a file - is there a difference?

    Hello
    I have a question to detect an ACTIVE virus/malware/trojan, vs detect a file containing a virus/malware/trojan and if there is a difference.

    For example:

    I ran an a malwarebytes antimalware and a scan avira scan and found nothing on my XP machine.  I then ran the windows security scanner and found a Trojan horse relatively bad guy who he only partially removed.  then I looked at the newspaper and he told me that the file - it happened to be a .exe that was marked in a .pdf file - neither of which I had never opened on the computer.  This infected file is on a second hard drive on the machine, to basically what amounts to a backup copy of the files of a computer very elders who has long been retired from service.

    (1) thus, even if there were files on my machine which contained this nasty Trojan horse, but simply because the Trojan horse was detected in the file, that necessarily means that the Trojan horse has been really active and running and cause trouble?  That's why avira and malwarebytes Miss?

    (2) this sense, for example, when you go to the encyclopedia ms for info on the Trojan horse in question, the instructions talk about how this will affect C:\windows\system32... [some file here], but my scan pick up the Trojan horse in a file that is located on a second hard drive on my machine, that I brought to an old drive.  What I'm trying to say is that the safety of ms scanner did not find the trojan in the files and the registry locations where it 'should be active"according to microsoft, but rather he fundamentally in a .exe on one of my drives of data that just a dumpster of storage.

    (3) Finally, if a .zip file is found to contain malware/trojan, etc, it is a threat having this .zip archive on the compjuter - as long as she remains closed?  For example is it possible for a Trojan horse found during analysis, within a .zip, a problem file cause as long as .zip has not been opened?

    Thank you very much for any help to clarify these issues for me!

    Essentially, what you say is true. If you have an email that contains a virus if you click on the attachment to open it, you have the virus on a file on your computer. However, you have not activated the virus because you do not click the active file.

    So if I did a scan, some anti-virus can detect the file simply because it's there, but my computer is not infected, as I click on the link to the file. This is also why you will see a warning that does not open an email with a certain title like by clicking on the link will start the download.

    I hope this helps.

  • I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

    DVD decoder not installed?

    I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
    A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?

    I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message.  Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.

    Thanks if anyone can help.

    Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

    The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

    Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

    the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

    because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

    So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

    Have a great day!

    When I rebooted my laptop that the engine was told that autocheck was not found and I want to skip this task.

    After that, I come to the xp-connection (I've never seen before) showing my user name in the user field and asks me to put a password. (I've not due to the fact that I've never used it)

    If I just go along to a click on OK without putting a password the laptop starts up (with the corresponding music) and stops after a few seconds.

    Finally I got to the same place, I described at the beginning.
