Icons changed to the icons of the House, unable to access programs

Similar Questions

• Since the so-called S.M.A.R.T.got in my computer didn't have any of my desktop icons. I'm unable to access my documents. I can only use IE 9 and the control panel.

  A company called S.M.A.R.T. somehow entered into my computer and continually scanned my hard drive.  I was able to get rid of that after many emails for them.  After that they took out of my computer, I had my office.  There were once beautiful images in the background with all my many icons showing.  Now all I have is a blank screen with only a few icons that I was able to resurrect.  They are: Recycle Bin, Panel Sontrol and new Document Microsoft Word Document template.  I am more able to access one of my documents.  There are documents that I need to work on but cannot do it at all.  Is there a solution to this problem?  I'm desperate!  Thank you.

  Your computer is infected with the rogue malware. Rogue malware is software that installs on your computer. He tries to scare you into buying the product informing you of the wrong issues with your hard drive.

  First thing NOT to do is to remove all temporary files. This rogue often hides your files. It is a program that can view your files, but you must first get rid of the malware.

  Restart your computer in safe mode with network. Click HERE, download, install, update and perform a full scan with Malwarebytes.

  Once the scan is complete, please let me know what has been detected. If you have trouble running Malwarebytes click HERE, download Rkill and run. Rkill is NOT a malware removal tool. Simply, it detects the malicious processes that are running on your computer and it kills to run malwarebytes and scan your computer.

  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

• Unable to access most of the WVC80N sites on the internet

  I installed the WVC80N on my home network. Of the House, I can access the video camera using the URL standard xxxx.mylinksyscam.com:1024. However when I'm in my workplace firewall, I can't connect using this URL. At work, I have no difficulties to view several video like Yahoo, YouTube and sites of standard media. When I saw that I couldn't connect, I took the same laptop at a public library and was able to connect to the URL xxxs.mylinksyscam. However, others said that they cannot connect their own systems of the House to my linksys URL.
  I guess my corporate workplace and most other places 1024 to block the port of the public library is less restrictive. I would like to change my port to one that is no longer available to most of the places. My optical fiber router and modem are combined in one device Verizion FIOS M1424WR. I might add a few transfer for the two 1024-80. If I also disable my Alternate access Web Port option to use port 80. Port 80 would have a better chance to be accessible in a standard firewall of the company location?

  I solved my problem. It's easy to fix. All I had to do was Add Port 80 for the transfer rules in my verizon FIOS router.
  Thank you.

• Windows XP: desktop icons changed to the same names, but retained their original functions

  Hello

  I know that put at the point before, but the problem was never properly solved. I have Windows XP. While I was changing the name of one of my Office Word Document files yesterday, all of a sudden all my desktop icons changed under the same name. I can't tell you how it happened. 'My computer', 'My Documents', 'Trash' 'Internet Explorer', 'Adobe Reader', 'Corel Photo House', "MS Paint", "HP Solution Center" and eight other program launch icons, as well as 12 document records and 25 files of Word document on my desk, all had the same name change that I'd just been undertaken with one Word on my desktop files. Each icon has yet launched the successful operation or properly open to its original content.

  I called my friends in the Geek Squad to two different Best Buys and they had never heard of him. I called Microsoft Corp. in Washington State and spoke to someone there. He had never heard of this before but found a couple of reports, one in 2006 and one in 2009. He said that he asked around the House Microsoft and if he could find an answer, post it on the forum.

  No one was able to tell me how it could happen and no one could tell me how to fix it.

  I then, on my own, done a restore of the system in two days. He restored the original names on all the items that I have listed above and it restored the original names on all 12 desktop file folders. But it does not restore the names under the 25 Word document files. Those that I had to open individually to see what they were and then rename them manually the original name. Would enjoy to hear your opinion on this.

  Pete Speth

  Hi Pete,.

  I tried what you wrote... Select all the files, rename one file and all the files are renamed automatically - as I thought - but for a change of my computer, my network places and My Document obtained renamed the sting that it represents in the registry! I tried CTRL + Z file names seem to be restored, but not for the default icons!... Seems interesting...

  I'm trying to get the bookmark icon in my toolbar to the right of the icon of the House. Then, right-click on the toolbar and then click Customize the icon in the toolbar. As soon as I close the pop of toolbar Customize the icon on my toolbar disappears. How can I get the Favorites icon to stay on my toolbar to the right of the icon of the House?

  Two things can cause the Bookmarks button to "disappear" from the Navigation bar when the customization mode is closed.

  1. the Menu bar - with File, Edit, View, etc. - shows.
  
  Since you have checked the answer first of cor-el solve your problem, I have not exposed on this point.

  2. the bookmarks toolbar shows, and this button is this toolbar.

  Is the Menu bar showing or not?
  
  Have you tried the reset bar of tools and commands that I mentioned?
