implementation of the system slowly after virus/spyware removal
Win XP Home: A the IS fake virus who, after much time/patience, finally got rid of. However, the system seems really slow to start and after opening, which is slow to close etc. Is there security programs I can download to check and fix or can anyone suggest anything please - need simple instructions! Thank you
Hello Tillytot,
Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Answers forum! I suggest that you try to useOnecare scanner for unwanted dangerous or viruses on your PC.

Œuvres of mouse pointer, but the catch systems when I click on any element of the bar of tasks or office. OK works in safe mode. System Restore to a date before the updates does not help. I've eliminated all unnecessary programs in menu start, including NVIDIA drivers, but the problem persists. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi Mathew and Imran;
Thank you. After several reboots, add and remove services, I believe a solution to the problem. It seems that McAfee Total Protection disliked among updates August 11... or the update did not like 'total Protection '.
After much frustration, I removed any trace of McAfee, first using windows uninstaller, then running the downloaded program to uninstall McAfee. I then installed Microsoft Security Essentials and downloaded and re-installed McAfee Site Advisor.
I don't think I have the same level of protection as I had before, but the system is faster and I think that I have an adequate level of security. I'll leave it as it is for now.
I don't want this post as a blow against McAfee, they are an industry leader in computer security and 'Total Protection' provided exactly that. We have a second PC in our House... material of identical office however, but under Vista Home Premium, whereas this one is running Vista Business. Home Premium system runs 'Total Protection' and has not experienced the same problem, as the system of the company. What's up mind dat? It runs more slowly, probably because of McAfee files analysis procedures.
If Security Essentials works well in the coming months on this system, I can install it on the other system, as well as on my laptop. In more than 10 years (from Windows 98 to Vista), we always used McAfee products and have NEVER had a viral infection. Is it because of MCafee or our own due diligence? Assume that this is not serious.
Thanks again for your help. You got me on the right track! Best regards... TeeDubTW

The system restore restart virus?
After the restoration of the system for awhile yesterday, four viruses that I had withdrawn today had again. I assumed they have entirely disappeared from the system. How they are restored? Or is it a problem with my anti virus program?
Hello
System Restore restores the malware when it has infected any part of the system which is located in an
restore point. Sometimes you use system restore to return to a properly working system
and then delete the malware. However, it is usually best not to use the system under those restore
conditions.========================================

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to detect malware
is often accompanied by a much more difficult to detect and remove the payload. So much better to be too full now
than to pay a high price later. Check with them to an extreme exaggeration, and then run the cleaning only when
you are, of course, that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however you must also run them

Portege M800 - the system hangs after connecting to fingerprint
I just got my Portege M800 weeks ago and frankly speaking, this model has been giving me a lot of trouble. Earlier, it's heat problem in the palm rest and there is no solution for it.
Now I am facing another problem with the connection of fingerprints. I'm running on Windows XP. I put the system must be locked after 5 minutes of inactivity. So normally after 5 minutes of inactivity, the system will have to be me to scan my fingerprint to open the windows. But there are moments which, after analysis of my fingerprints and put in correspondence with success, the screen will be just white (only show the desktop wallpaper). Not the desktop icons, no taskbar windows and nothing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to bring up nothing and no answer even not a button. I tried to put the system to Hibernate by press the power button once as no response.
So I have to finally press and hold the power button to reset the laptop.
No matter which can help or give any idea of what was going on? Thank you!
Hello
I believe that these issues are in the past fixed with the new version of the fingerprint reader. Have you tried to install the latest version or you already have?

ThinkVantage Button takes me to the system recovery after HARD drive partition
Hello
I recently bought a W520 with 4 GB of RAM.
I bought 3 branches of more than 4 GB each, installed and everything was fine. Also, I shrunk the C: drive and created a new disk (D:\) from space, that I rescued after the reduction of the volume.
When I start the laptop and you want to enter the BIOS setup by pressing the blue ThinkVantage button, she won't go to the BIOS Setup. Rather, it passes through the system recovery options.
What gives? How can I go to the BIOS Setup?
Thank you in advance.
Continuously when the system starts, press F1.

The title pretty much everything said.
The problem occurred on a fault that Dell Vostro 2510 with the additional option should only do the downgrade of Win Xp (from Vista). As noted, on normal startup, the system will remain in a blank screen after the Windows Xp "loading" screen. And on safe mode, it will join Mup.sys and then hang there.
The closest thing that I got from a web search was a thread in forum saying that the official info from Microsoft was that it was a question of Win Xp/motherboard (http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/31874/?o=40 halfway to a post by Bobb Fwed). The poster provided no link, so I don't know how official his info was really.
Thank you

Satellite M60-162: the system hangs after connection of SD card
I at all, I have a problem when I insert an SD card in my toshiba, the system freezes. I try to install the drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site but the problem remains. The operating system is windows xp pro sp2.
Any ideas?
Hello
What SD card did you use? Maybe the laptop doesn't support the format of SD card? Check the manual for the supported cards.
Also, check the Device Manager. Check if the SD card controller is installed correctly. What you can do is to also update the SD card driver. -
Windows 7 - How to remove the 'system reserved' after installation
I do not have a separate HDD called system reserved in my computer. It takes approximately 100 MB of space, but I never agreed to be installed separately.
Can I format to get rid of him, or even delete or move somewhere? I do not have to reinstall Windows 7 to do this, because it takes time for all the programs to be reinstalled...
Any suggestions of what could be done without having to reinstall Windows 7 new would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know if it's possible. Thank you.
I would say that that keep the system reserved. It is a very convenient tool created by MS in case of emergency
The following link will give you a better idea: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/29fa0858-8971-413b-ba8a-d033aa6dae55
You can delete system reserved partition, but if you happen to remove it, then you will not be able to use the bitlocker feature

Hello
Please do not type in capital letters as it is difficult to read and regarded as yelling.
This problem affects both/all readers is expected when it comes to the top.
Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
the question.Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
