is there a virus that masks or hides with chkdsk?
Having probs with my PC
Don't restore, etc. At the whole cleaning thing. At first I couldn't find my chkdsk at all. Dug around in the registry... Well Yes, still here. BUT also found these puppies:
(I've included the script case-sensitive)
Name In Folder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHKDSK C:\WINDOWS\ I386
CHKDSK. EXE - 0B42230E.pf C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch 13KO
CHKDSK.EXE - 12KO C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch 1CB38688.pf
CHKDSK.EXE - 2CC4C59D.pf C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch 15.1 KB
When I did a search on the web and MS I have nothing. Given the size of the files, I tend to believe that it can be viral. All intuitive thought would be appreciated. Moreover, this small number bypassed my Norton 360. Will try several diagnostics and see if I can get more information, but I'm not that tech savvy, so don't expect much.
Thanks for the ear.

Hi Angela,.
You should be able to locate chkdsk under its listed as chkdsk.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32 (12 KB - properties will show you this file as 11.5 KB (11 776 bytes)). You can restore this file from the I386 folder and put it back in the C:\windows\system32 folder.
I hope this helps.

My laptop and phone are sailing very well without any problems. Thanks for your help.
Make a check of malware with a few programs to scan for malware.
You must use all of the programs, because each detect different malware.
Make sure you update each program to get the latest version before doing a scan.http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ - Trendmicro online

I had a virus that says that the FBI caught me downloaded inlegal stuff a fine of 72 hours or there would be charges pressed against me and I don't know how it get out! Whenever I turn on my computer it pops up and I can't do anything! Sometimes I can go and get online! If anyone knows how to remove it please help me!
What you are investigating your pc with? What anti virus?
Some malware knows how to avoid the standard as applications McAffee, Norton and Kaspersky, Avast.
To be absolutely sure, you may have to reset it to the factory or clean install. Make sure that you have a backup first.

Windows has identified a virus that cannot be deleted. reformatting will solve this problem? also wiping my own comouter solve this problem or just to write about it. Is there an online tool to clean my computer... more, after that how do I reinstall windows
Try AVG and Avast free programs to find and fix the problem. In the future, these two will warn you if the malware is a download. If this does not work, try the highjackthis program. It will save a log that can be used by sites for free assistance to correct your problem.
I would NEVER erase the hard drive! I've been SP since its release and have have 60 programs on my computer.

Horrible virus that prevents opening executable files?
I recently managed to infect my computer with the worst virus that I've ever seen. I was on several different sites at the same time research on Elder Scrolls traditions for a mod I did. They were TESNEXUS, The Elder Scrolls Wiki and PlanetElderScrolls... With Bungie.net. IM POSITIVE it was TESNEXUS who gave me the virus, as they were recently hacked and I check other sites regularly.
The virus opens and downloaded instantly (less than 1 second) and the second, he disappeared from Firefox crashed. I knew it was a virus and immediately tried to open spybot, but a protective icon in my tray called "Spyware" gave me the notice:
'Spybot.exe' is infected with W32/Blaster.wormI got a similar message for any program, including the editor of the register, System Restore and command prompt. It was not long until things began to disappear and changing. I lost a lot of data from my program files. Photoshop works more and more than most of my games. Whenever I open a file, it would make a sound screams instead of his usual. My color scheme has been changed and the flooded icon my screen "You are infected" put warning.
But what worries the most is another message that appears at the bottom of my screen. He said that a large number of files have been transferred remotely on another computer. When I accessed my other computers, there was a strange bond that I had never seen before. The network did not have a normal name, instead, it was a string of numbers.
I turned off my computer and used my drive to start super - duper to the restoration of the system (such as the file .exe from the system restore did not work) and now everything is normal. I ran Spybot and AVG and neither program returned from the virus either.
So how is it safe? This rest TAPI in my system virus hides my anti-virus? Can I clean my computer if needed, but it would be a serious pain in the stock and a good 3-4 working days to get things in order. It is with a backup on hand.
Advice anyone?
Thanks to Malwarebytes, I managed to find the potential killer.
I had a total of 9 infections, of whom 8 were temporary files listed as Adware.
The latest infection was listed as spyware and it was found in a folder in my program called relevant knowledge files.

cannot access my music on my Ipad or Iphone. Whenever I have select the music icon, there is a picture of a girl with his Iphone hide list of music, I can't getrid of this image. I don't want to not try or don't buy music if I touch the image, nothing happens no connection to the music store. The image is there, and that's all. How to get back to my music.
On one of the devices, try to reboot (to give a fresh start to iOS). Data are not affected.
Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support
Then, go to settings-> musicand make that Show Apple music is turned OFF. Tap the music app. If you see this image with the girl holding the iPhone, there should be choices on the screen to Join Apple music or display your own music (don't remember the exact wording). Choose the latter.
no link to the music store
The store for buying music is a separate application called iTunes Store.

Surfing the internet on my iphone, I received a pop-up message stating that I had a virus that could fly as well as personal information and credit card information used on the phone. That I should call 1-844-854-6870 immediately to get the virus removed. I didn't call the number, but rather made sure my privacy filters were ignited, powered my phone is off and connected my office here. What should I do to make sure that I do not have a virus on my iphone?
It's just a scam.
Force restart our iPhone.
Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
As long as you call the number or allow anyone access to your iPhone, so there is no worry for a virus.

More effective than a virus - KB930494 MS update ends with true Msg that Windows cannot now work correctly
I started to reinstall Windows XP, after he has screwed up and I discovered that all the system snapshot
I created backups worthless - MS removes automatically after 90 days...But when reinstalling Windows XP Pro MCE 2005 I managed to beat or dodge the many problems - like all the
famous error when update .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 and many others
Suddenly I met an error generated by Microsoft of NONRECOVERABLE type!While trying to install Windows, I agreed that Windows was full of bugs and security flaws and
need a large number of fixpacks installed via Windows Update.
Such a group of patches is called KB930494 and the full name is:.NET framework 1.0 Service Pack 3 SYSTEM. WEB. DLL and MSCOREE. DLL Security Update for Windows XP Media Center Edition and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
Windows Update gave a brief error msg that this update has failed and I have tried to run this update
manually when it produces the following error message: (note he's telling the truth when it)
claims that "Windows may not work correctly")---
KB930494 Setup errorError while updating your system.
Windows XP has been partially updated and may not work properly.Ok
---So, this update of Microsoft killed my system - it sure that _ 'does not properly"more.
Lots of things off, lots of BSOD...Og - of course I should have used the system restore and created a backup that I should come back...!
I did well - but this bomb of viral type of Microsoft made sure it was not possible to create
a valid system by restoring such a backup. Probably because half the file system matches the other.The worst part is - even if I try to reinstall Windows again, avoiding this Virus created by MS, how can I be sure that
This will be the only disguised bomb nothing extraordinary provided by Windows Update as necessary security patches?So guys, what is the best utility backup/restore partition there?
Rgds. E. Ben
Use Partiton Lofic is a down load for free on the partition, you can also use Easeus Disk Copy. It is a free program with a friendly interface.

Original title: user profile
My administrator user profile does not work properly, but I have a user profile that has activated the parental control that worked well for about a year and yesterday when this user logs on the desktop comes up, but after that the computer does not respond when that user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button. I ran a virus scan and spyware scan in my user admin profile and he has not found anything. I don't know what to check.
Hello rhunter15,
There may be a program to interfere with Parental controls so that we can try a few things to see if we can determine the application or program that is causing problems.
First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.
- Click Start
- Click on all programs
- Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.
- Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Click on command prompt
- Type SFC/scannow.
It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.
To determine if there is a program because of a conflict, we recommend that you perform a "clean boot" of the computer. A clean boot is designed to disable programs and services in the background as much as possible. This helps determine which service or program can be the cause of the problem. For more information about how to perform a clean boot for troubleshooting, click the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
KB 929135 - how to solve a problem of performaing a clean boot in Windows Vista.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135Once you have finished the clean boot, check again and see if you get the error of parental control.
If please post again and let us know if that helped pinpoint the problem or if you still need help.
Thank you

is there a way that we could create a unique link that someone can click on an email to bring them to a cart to fill their quote?
Hello
Here is how the configuration would work - http://client2.worldsecuresystems.com/get-quote/java-in-a-nutshell - you can add some nice CSS to ensure that the screen does not Flash or anything like that. Here's how it was built:
1. create a new model, paste this piece of code inside:
{tag_pagecontent}
2 create a new catalog, all the products of this catalogue will redirect users directly to the GET a quote form. Assign the model created in step 1
3 change the presentation of the latge product and place the button buy now in a hidden div:
4. change the shopping basket page layout and make sure the GET a quote button is present:
{tag_getquotebutton}
5. place this code at the end. You need to replace 606879 with the ID of the catalog created in step 2
{% if globals.get.CatalogueID == 606879 %} {% endif %}
What will happen, it is like this:
- whenever someone opens a product using the link to the custom catalog buy it button will now be clicked
- the site visitor is then redirected to shopping cart layout where the other script checks the catalog, the visitors came. If this is a "known" catalog redirect another arrives and load the GET a quote layout
Make sure that you have loaded in your models of jQuery and liquid activated on your site.
One more thing, you need to monitor is you will need hide this catalog custom catalog your site listing.
Hope this helps,
Mihai

The last time I used my id to a friend for the appstore apple on my macbook pro. (Now, I have my own apple ID). Sometimes, when there are apps that I want to update, a window would jump out to ask me to connect to my apple to a friend id, but I want to update the application using my own apple ID. Is that what I have to use my apple ID to update the applications? Please help me!

I tried to go to Web sites that I visit every day and they are all blocked by a virus that seems to be Mozilla (but isn't) and watch the logo of mozilla and says my site has been blocked by the parent control of Mozilla and you must sign up for this. He asks that all the personal information you give NEVER online so I knew it was a virus. I write this in safe mode. My Vipre will not pick up this virus and Malware bites either. I have deleated Mozilla and reinstalled but it did not work.
