• Value of anti-virus programs

  I know that anti-virus programs have never been approved on this site, but I just had an experience that might be of interest. I meant Apple support on a minor matter that they helped me difficulty. Just by talking to them, a very annoying noise (a quick series of four or five beeps sounds strong, metal or clicks) began. She disappears for a few seconds and then, inevitably, come back. It was so strong that I was afraid that my iMac was damaged, and the technician that I was talking to said that she had never heard such a sound. She also said that she could not help me and I have to take my computer to the shop for repairs. That's how things stayed until just at the time when I used my anti-virus program in a desperate attempt to find and fix the problem. Before that, I kept my computer off tension and silence for fear of damage to my machine.

  When I applied the anti-virus program, a never-ending stream of files would have been smart appeared on my screen. I was really stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place, so I decided to trash all of these files. However, after I had deleted THIRTY or FORTY of them, I realized that I had not heard that annoying noises since I started, so I stopped the rampage even if an unknown number of suspicious files remained. It was probably the best thing to do because the noise is not returned.

  I don't mention the name of my anti-virus program because some might think I'm just a sneaky vendors, but I think that my experience means something. I could be wrong but it seems to me that this noise is caused by some malicious programs and it fixed my anti-virus program. In any case, I'll send my thanks to this company. They saved me a trip to the Apple store and without a car, it was definitely a trip worth the savings. My iMac 27 "transport by bus on a forty minute trip is not my idea of a fun to spend the afternoon.

  FWIW, there is no OS x viruses known in the wild. I don't am not personally at the malicious power of any software that would result described sounds. Without knowing which files have been marked as "smart", there are nothing to say if they were or they weren't. A possibility is that your drive is a failure that can cause noise described. Removing some of the "malicious" files the drive may be inaccessible in the region, that the drive is failing.

  I would run first aid disk utility to see if it reports errors. I would keep an eye on her.

• When you download an anti virus program I get the message of insufficient permissions, why is it I am logged as administrator.

  When you download an anti virus program I get the message of insufficient permissions, why is it I am logged as administrator.

  Hi tomholland69,

  ·         What is the full error message?

  ·         You are able to download other programs?

  ·         What web browser do you use?

  ·         What anti-virus program do you use?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

  (a) click Start, run.

  (b) type msconfigand click OK.

  (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  (d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

  (e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

  Hello
  
  1. are you able to install other applications successfully?

  According to my research, this error message appears if you have traces of a previous installation of the AVG software.

  Download the AVG remover to remove the previous version and then try the installation again and check.

I would like to enter an address in the browser and would be redirected to another site (i.e. random search, youtube, offer to purchase through my ISP)
  • Ordered to contact Microsoft indicating that it was a problem with internet Explorer.
  • Through a problem with Microsoft where they found a file (cngaudit.dll) that was bigger they said it might be that showed them that my computer has been infected. Tech also found cngaudit .dll (69) where it is said that it was a copy of the original file which showed that my computer has been infected.
  • Set up a time for another Member of the support team to call me on Sunday to help in the kidnapping.

  Tuesday:

  • After no calls Sunday or Monday, I contacted Microsoft with my # of cases and a second rep attempted to help the elimination.
  • Remote access and technology attempted to run the Scanner again enabled (has been blocked)
  • Attempted to run HiJackThis... was able to download, but not executed.

  • NMC found 2 infected files... C:\Program Files\Magic Encyclopedia\dvmwlkt.exe (Infected with Malware.ELBD) and C:\Program Files\Magic Encyclopedia\magic.exe (Infected with Malware.EENX) both of these files have been deleted
  • NMC also found C:\Users\Page\AppData\Local\Temp\~DFEDF2.tmp, but access has been denied and it could not be deleted.
  • McAffee is always installed at this time and all the minutes I get a pop-up indicating that 2 (located in the temporary file) Trojan horses has been blocked.
  • Called Microsoft a 3rd time and met with an another tech once again connected via remote access and "worked its magic" like others and recommended I have remove McAfee and reinstall because the alerts I receive are "fake".
  • Remove and reinstall to see that McAfee will not be updated or protect. Now the tech suggested that I contact my ISP for assistance because McAfee has been downloaded from their site and seems to be defective.
  • Contacted my ISP and was told to contact McAfee.
  • Contacted McAfee and told to contact Microsoft.

  Wednesday (2 a. .m):

  • Always at work, trying to get something to work. Attempted to run the cleaning (ERROR: the instruction at 0x00cb34ef referenced memory at 0 x 00000000) The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program.)

  • Downoladed Malwarebytes'... put up-to-date, but as soon as the scan began to close.
  • Downloaded SpyBot and scan it again just to make it stop after the update.
  • A run ESET Online Scanner and found 2 objects (files win32)... cleaned and removed.

  Where am I today? I can't always run antivirus software and my computer is currently not protected... online security with networking Mode.

  Any suggestions?

  You cannot save your programs - a clean installation wipe everything from the hard drive.  Programs need to be reinstalled (they cannot be copied or saved) - and you probably wouldn't do anyway because there is a good chance that some of the infected files can reside in these same programs.  The ONLY way to avoid this is to get your hands on a real Windows Vista Installation disc, so we can attempt a repair system/upgrade where your programs will be preserved (and we don't know yet if that will completely solve the problem of infection but it probably will restore the functionality at least for a certain period of time).

  Sorry for the bad news, but that's just how it is.

  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

• Two Anti Virus Applications on the A2109

  I've read here to get to the root of the A2109 to remove the bloatware and unwanted applications.
  My question is this, you can remove the Norton App without having to the root of the Tablet?

  And if can't even put on my Anti Virus Application that it bothers Norton?

  Because I take Norton is not a free application?
  Because I've never known Norton to never give you something for free...

  And if rooting is necessary to anyone can point me in the right direction on the way to the roots A2109 and remove all the nonsense I can't want?

  I also read on here about also having to unlock the bootloader as well.
  Also how can I do this?

  Sorry for all the questions but I'm pretty new to android, even if I had touched in Linux a few years back.

  Thanks again for any help you can give...

  You cannot remove completely without root, but you can disable it.  In settings-> Apps, click on the 'All' tab, find Norton and select it, there should be a button 'disable '.
