Is there a program to search for viruses and malware?

is there a program I can run to find malware and vfisuses software. In addition to the security of microsoft they check it on my computer. When I run a scan?  Thank you

In my opinion, if the Windows Firewall is enabled (installed as part of XP, Vista and 7) and that you have installed Microsoft Essensials Essentials (downloadable for free), security is adequate for most users for most cases. We could consider using Malwarebyte s anti-malware ot the equivalent for additional scans from time to time. (Malwarebyte s has a free version for private individuals). For those who have a high risk, Microsoft, Kaperski and others have some free tools that can be downloaded and which, when it is burned on a CD or DVD are executed from bootable MNR and check otherwise difficult to detect threats.

  • I think my IE has a virus but not of my scans for virus or malware checks come up with anything. Is there a way to check this?

    I think my IE has a virus but not of my scans for virus or malware checks come up with anything. My computer is running VERY slowly, lagging behind, or even on an occasional basis freezes and stops when I'm on the net. Computer function uses only the net works fine until a program I use try to use Windows Explorer. Is there a difference between Explorer Windows and Internet Exporer and is there a way to check this, other than the usual scans. I have McAfee and AVG, as well as malicious software running on a schedule and they are still running in the background, constantly analyzes the sites.

    I am at a total loss here. I use secure sites (https rather than just http) when the choice and do not use sites that McAfee or AVG is marked as dangerous. It worries me that I have a lot of things, such a Bank, online and not worry that someone could get information. I recently also maually run the two scan disk and Defrag but they can also be programmed to run on a schedule. The model is NOT saved. When I tried ot create a backup disk, when I first bought the model, something has gone wrong, and he refused to back up then reset would mean a great loss of material. If it's a virus, worm, etc., it is done gradually and I'm not sure that a restart of the plant would be useful it is in IE or Windows Explorer (if there is a difference).

    Yes, it is safe to uninstall McAfee.

  • How to search for words and phrases in multiple pdf documents

    Dear Sirs.

    I need to search for words AND phrases in a huge amount of PDF files (over 5000). The problem I found by using the "advanced search" is that I am able to search for single words sentences individual GOLD, but I need to combine a lot of words and multiple expressions in the same search. For example, if I need to look for instances of the word 'Florida' or 'Texas' or 'United States', I can't search for each PDF file that contains the word 'Florida' or 'Texas' or the phrase 'United States', since if I put 'word' in the search options, I will receive all the files that contain the word "Florida" or 'Texas' but also 'solidarity' or 'States' and simple words. I tried placing quotes in the words I need to research such as phrases, but it did not work. I would like to know if there is a way I can search the way I need.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Script to search for text and remove the hyperlink and characterstyle link which applies (back to normal)

    I need help with my script to search for text and remove the hyperlink and characterstyle link which applies (returns the normal text).

    I can't do either as I want.  I want the user to be able to type in a dialog text they want to search for, do search this text IGNORING case (case insensitive) and then for all instances that he find it, remove character styles that are applied to the (set to [none]) and delete the hyperlinks.

    My code seems to define the character style [None], when I click on the text and look at the window of character Styles, BUT all old styles (font color, underline) are always applied and removed not as I want.

    Also, I can't understand how to remove all of the old links.

    Here is my code:

    myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

    var noneStyle = myDocument.characterStyles.item ("[None]");

    var myFindVal = "";

    var myErrorText = "";

    var myErrorCount = 0;

    myDialog = app.dialogs.add var ({name: "search user submitted text and delete hyperlinks from objects found.", canCancel: true});

    {with (MyDialog)}

    {with (dialogColumns.Add ())}

    {with (borderPanels.Add ())}

    staticTexts.add ({staticLabel: "search and delete hyperlinks for :"}); "})

    myTextBox var = textEditboxes.add({minWidth:100});)

    }

    }

    }

    If (myDialog.show () == true) {}

    myFindVal = myTextBox.editContents;

    doSearchAndReplace();

    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

    If (myErrorCount == 0) {}

    Alert ("done! ("Part of the links have been removed for: '" + myFindVal + ""! "");

    }

    else {}

    Alert ("last error: '" + myErrorText + "' & number of errors:" + myErrorCount);

    }

    }

    myDialog.destroy ();

    function doSearchAndReplace() {}

    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = myFindVal;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;

    var myFoundItems = myDocument.findText ();

    for (i = 0; i < myFoundItems.length; i ++) {}

    myRemoveHyperlinkAndStyle (myFoundItems [i]);

    }

    }

    function myRemoveHyperlinkAndStyle (myFoundItem) {}

    try {}

    I want to download youtube audio but very afraid of Add-ons Firefox because of viruses and malware. All of the recommendations that are safe? Thank you.

    There are two routes you can go for it. You can use a web service based in to do it for you or you can install an add-on for Firefox can take this place... I found the Add on YouTube video and Audio Downloader to do it for you

    Be wary of Add-ons that you download from outside addons.mozilla.org because they may have some malware in it. -Add-ons which are downloaded through AMO (addons.mozilla.org) are tested for viruses during the download process and if they come out dirty, they will not be transferred.

    The other way to use a website that accomplishes this task for you. I use this method myself because it is easier for me. There are two that I use

    Hello

    Besides what TheOldMan seconded and advised, I would like to add that if it is possible, it is very unlikely because of the way the virus and malware work today and because of theway the function of recovery partitions.

    I mean, you can't rely 100% on the recovery partitions, they are good, but not 100% subject to attacks or loss. However, if your PC ever be infected, this does not mean that the recovery of the partitions will become infected and unuable.

    Of these errors, it seems that I am not covered even with the settings appropriate, reported here as well in the preferences:

    How can I fix this?  (I'll try to start in safe mode, and then restart as some have suggested).

    More important still, once repaired, how to test the browser in the future so that it is protected?

    Is there some test sites for phishing and malware that can be trusted?
