• Is there a possibility of the virus being transferred as well for moving files on an external hard drive?

  Original title: Virus/malware/spyware portable with external hard drive?

  I run Windows 7 64 bit. My subscription to Norton ran a while back (I know, dumb move) and I want to use MSE instead of pay crazy to renew Norton.  Right now, I'm waiting for Microsoft to difficulty MSE Windows 7 64 bit (there is a problem of file corruption with MSE for 64-bit Windows 7 version that Microsoft is working on fixing)... In the meantime, I suspect strongly I have some viruses and spyware on my laptop and wanted to try a system reset. If I back up my files to an external hard drive will be I might transfer of virus/malware to my computer when I put files on my laptop?

  Hi Cbx_ladyarabica

  Please contact the Microsoft Community.

  I like to show you a point for Microsoft Security Essentials. Want to know if there is a possibility of virus being transferred on the external hard drive and back, as well as files. It's pretty simple and I'm here to help you. Thank you for taking the time to read this far.

  It is a possibility that the virus may be transferred along with the files provided that they are infected, as well. To be on the safe side, I'd like you try to run a full scan on the computer by using various third-party programs (such as suggested by Andre) to ensure that the computer is virus-free.

  NOTE: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  I have 2 questions:

  1. I use a wireless modem to get on the internet at Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go device. Is it possible for some to get access to my PC, when this device is active?

  2. I think that someone is due to ghosting my PC. On my registry, I have 2 of the following: iexplore.exe attributed to administrator. Then I have an explorer.exe attributed to administrator. I have 6 svchost.exe running 2 assigned the Local, 2 assigned to network service and 2 running service attributed to the system.

  Hello
   
  Yes, it is possible to gain access to your computer; but not without your permission. The firewall on the computer prevents any unauthorized entry. Refer to the following articles.
   
  What is a firewall?

  How will I know if a wireless network is secure?
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-know-if-a-wireless-network-is-secure
   
  When you say "Record" do you mean "Services" in the Windows Task Manager. Its common to have these processes or services to run in the background.

  'iexplore.exe' means 'Internet Explorer'.

  'explorer.exe' means 'Windows Explorer'.

  You can scan your computer with MSE to check the virus or malware if it affects your performance.

   

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• Screening for the Virus VMware environment?

  Hello fellow VMware users.

  I decided to set up an environment of virtual-screening machine of the virus.

  This crazy idea?

  Thanks in advance.

  Other info: don't know if this is important: running an XP Home Edition SP3 - processor Pentium 4-3, 00 GHz - 1 GB RAM

  Under VMware Workstation version 6.5.3 of XP Home Edition

  I would try using NAT, which essentially lets you share the IP address of the workstation host and you can communicate with other systems and the Internet.  I have no advice for you on 'subjects' If you are referring to where you are going to get viruses for the test. The only one I know of we is the well-known Eicar test virus.  You can find it here: http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm.

  I still think that the safest way to do this is to disable the NIC in total.  You can always transfer files to the virtual machine via shared folders option in the VMware tools and ensure the safety of your host system.  You can transfer new definitions of virus, infected files, and ensure the safety of your host system while having your completely isolated test bench.

  If you end up using this to create a new virus and causing pain for IT administrators around the world, do me a favor and forget I gave him advice.

  My dau. has a new iMac, and she has his iTunes library works in the way that she prefers.

  Is it possible for his partner to have a library separate iTunes he can use when it connects to and sync with the iPad?

  Yes. There are two ways to do this.

  1. did you separate user accounts - then all their data is separated and they can account for a long time no matter what either is appropriate

  2. have the same account but what iTunes libraries. You can have as many as you like: hold the option (or alt) key key and launch iTunes. From the menu that appears, select "Create Library" or "Choose Library" as the case may be.

  Finally, they could use the same library, simply not synchronize all this only to synchronize the items selected - playlists/albums etc.

  Hello

  It would be unwise to try to start without antivirus/antispyware are has just too many real threats and
  methods for malware to attack the system. If you attempt to do if of course you have redundant and
  current backups.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• The upgrade computer laptop RAM 16 GB. Is it possible for my laptop?

  Hi everyone, before forward us here are the details of my laptop,

  HP dv6 3264-ca

  AMD Triple-core 2.1 GHz processor

  6 GB OF RAM

  128 MB of video memory

  I would like to know if I install Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop, it is finally possible to upgrade my RAM 16 GB.

  I ran a check for my motherboard through CPU - z:

  Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard

  Model: 143F

  Chipset: AMD 785GX

  Southbridge: SB800

  Then Yes. Is it possible for my laptop manage anything more than 8 GB or the 16 GB?

  Thank you!

  The maximum memory capacity is 8 GB. The question that you will encounter when you try to install 8 GB memory modules is that is that there is no support current BIOS for this capacity modules.

  If HP provides a BIOS updated which are supported by the modules of this ability, then installation of modules memory 8 GB won't be a problem. Until that happens, it will be a financial risk to buy the modules just to see if it will work.
