• Vundo, BHO malaware as mine PC - I don't like them. PLEASE HELP OUT. I dropped...

  I have Windows XP Home SP2 Dell XPS GEN3 (excluding guarantees and support, but still kicking).

  Yesterday I was unfortunate enough to get Antivirus 2008 - very frustrating experience. Read here and use MBAM to remove it. However, during the second test, I was careful to the left on the junk and it was Vundo, BHO (did not specify) and a few other things malaware. I tried to run MBAM - nothing, MBAM tent (or at least it say) to remove on reboot, but they keep coming back. I went to the safe MODE, disabled the system restore and MBAM used again - same result.

  I googled the problem - found FixVundo.exe here from Symantec. Run in mode safe mode with CATERING to the wide and no result once again (this time FixVundo said that there is no such malaware found on my PC).

  I dropped.

• Verdict of malaware-antibytes of software?

  Hey Gang,

  
  
  This follows a previous post about possible clashes between Essentials & all the other protection software free or paid. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to post this below the last entry my post initial investigation so apologies if I'm cost valuable time and effort.
  That being said, I bought a HP goes to nine Fund p6320y w/a MSI 785GSM mainbrd he's. running 8Gs ram, expandable to 16Gs max, an AMD Phenom quad 2.8Ghz w/ovr.clk. capacity, a new 2 TB hitachi SATA 7200 RPM, a new version of W/7 w/SP1 & Essentials everything up to date. I followed the most constant instructions recv would most of you & everything seemed fine until this last 3 months I got some virus which me locked out of the system. I tried starting emergency disk I burned as requested without success. I have even a shadow of system stored at an external hrdriv. but don't think that I would have to start from scratch. I got to the shop and was astonished to find that my office had 19 various infections/malware I thought Essentials was enough to catch and neutralize. I was told never to mix essentials w / an another antispy/malware program because that would create meets, however Malaware antibytes kept coming as add a safe program that would benefit my system working only one program at a time (essentials, malaware) it seemed to work well for about a week, and then I couldn't stop me & clicked on the homepage of malawares when running to see if there was anything else he can do! ASSH! All frozen and it took me a full hour to try to reach a previous point restaurant that finally worked. Now still me quite confused and anxious to use this apparently cool free software in the future. Someone out there has a lot of experience with the use of this software or know someone who is?
  I appreciate the answers incoming!
  Best regards, ovenmaker1960

  Hello Alan,.

  To answer your questions.

  (1) antivirus and anti-malware are two different things. You should run an antivirus application and two anti-malware applications. Microsoft Essentials is an antivirus application, I personally do not trust. I use Avast Antivirus Free Edition (http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html).

  (2) safe Mode - Yes, as soon as your computer begins to start, press in and hold the F8 key. Which will bring up a B & W screen where you can select Safe Mode. Which loads a minimal version of Windows you look deep inside Windows. Avast offers an in depth scan and a scan at startup, which is a scan that is performed outside of Windows. Its the most complete and takes the longest to run.

  (3) program some antivirus you are using, its deepest level of the scan on all your drives in safe mode.

  (4) after you run your virus scan, put in quarantine and then remove any infections it finds. Once done, then run Malwarebytes' anti-malware and quarantine and delete everything it finds.

  (5) then run SUPERAntiSpyware, which is a scanner antimalware Malwarebytes' is. It works as a standalone application you run and let its analysis, then to quarantine and delete everything it finds.

  Any other questions, feel free to ask. Let me know how you fare.

  Kind regards

• what I'm typing goes to the address bar

  tapping on any program; Messenger, games mode window or window google chat (the one that can be opened as a separate windown on gmail); Suddenly the text is not written on the ground, sometimes there is a clicking sound, and when I press on enter, all text is displayed on the address bar of firefox as if it was a bing search engine.

  If firefox is not open when this happens, pressing enter will automatically open firefox to search bing what I was typing on other applications. If the computer its on idle, when im away from nothing, I still hears the sound form successive clcik.

  Look for the sound click on Control Panel > sounds > sounds I found is the sound of "beginning of navigation of windows.

  Do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program before (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • Download the full Firefox installation program and save the file to the desktop
    http://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all.html

  If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

  Remove the Firefox program before installation newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  I tried to answer the question on this forum because I found out what he was doing... https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/982727

  I tried to check malaware, virus check... so figured it out. In the first Panel uninstall both programs SnapDo (if you have them - solves the problem of not being able to edit your irritating new search options)

  Then look for a program on the list in your list control called fst_za_17 Panel
  It's the little Minx who is to play with you... After you have uninstalled it I FINALLY corrected the freaking question.

• the "Show all downloads" button shows only a download after it's over

  In Firefox, the 'Show all downloads' button shows only a download after it's over. It is similarly of the dialogue download library. Downloads occur, but you do not see the status until it is complete. It started yesterday, using Firefox 27. I upgraded to 28.0 but it still happens. I have also reset Firefox, nothing happens. I am running Windows 7.

  The answer was... Conduit search malaware himself had installed on my PC. Uninstalling it solved the problem.

• Is received message 'repair window erroes' reliable?

  I received this message with an address of firefox that says 'erroes window repair' and 2 updates available. Big flashing messages. But I update every day so is it reliable or a scam?

  I think it is a scam, because it comes with the contest to enter.
  Please tell us what to do. If it's a scam, how to prevent that from happening.

  I use microsoft security and malawarebytes Anti Malware free
  Is there something more, what I should do because I regularly get rid of 1000 sites detected on malaware?

  From your description, it seems that your computer is infected with a virus. I recommend trying Norton Power Eraser. If the link (below) does not work, use your favorite Internet search engine and type Norton Power Eraser in the search field.

• Firefox crashes at startup (not safe mode)

  Program has been crashing at startup for the download of the latest version. I could open in safe mode and now it seems that maybe it's able to run both regular (non-secure) mode.

  I'll post this question anyway, form where the problem is ongoing and I am unable to reach this help topic once again.

  The accident started when I tried to open a browser window, a bookmark. Malaware is clear, SuperAntiSpyware found some adware tracking codes - those will be erased at the end of the scan

  We have a lot of crashes with Trusteer report. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the noise.
  You can stop the report by using the Start Menu > programs > Trusteer report > report stop
  You can ask their helpdesk when a version update of their products will be available or, if you do not need this software, uninstall.

• Qosmio G50 PQG55A: NVIDIA driver - update or not

  Hello

  Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

  The short question is, should I update my NVIDIA driver from 175,90 (as shown on the Web from Toshiba site) to the Version: 186.81 WHQL as suggested by the NVIDIA site.

  The long version follows...
  My Qosmio G50 (PQG55A-04J01Y), running under Vista 64 Bit, crashes intermittently. It is sometimes good for more than a week earlier, sometimes once or twice a day.

  I was quite thorough with virus and malaware controls.

  Everything seems to stop, even if the mouse still works.
  I have to turn off the PC, sometimes reboot Check Disk runs and corrects errors.

  Windows Problem Reports and Solutions comes with the following:

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  A problem with the NVIDIA graphics driver
  NVIDIA Graphics Driver has stopped working properly.
  An update of the driver, as appropriate, could prevent this problem does not happen.
  There are several ways to find and install the driver updates, but it's best to let Windows do it for you. Try the step below, which describes the process. If it does not produce a driver update that resolves the problem, try the remaining steps in the order shown.

  1. search the optional third-party updates
  2. try to manually update the NVIDIA Graphics Driver
  3. check the NVIDIA Corporation Web site for driver updates
  4. check the Web site of the manufacturer of your computer for driver updates

  If NVIDIA Graphics Driver was preinstalled on your computer, check the Web site of the manufacturer of your computer for driver updates.

  How can I find the manufacturer of my computer?
  How to upgrade manually a pilot using a file downloaded?

  1. updates of Windows are perfectly up-to-date.

  2. when I try to update driver I get the message;
  + Windows has determined the software driver for your device is up to date. +
  However...

  3. when I use the NVIDIAs tool to automatically search for updates, I get the following:

  NVIDIA driver downloads
  Product

  NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
  Current installed Driver * 175.90*

  Driver was last updated
  Computer laptop version 186
  Version: * 186.81 WHQL *.
  Release date: August 27, 2009

  He said also;

  + The program driver NVIDIA Verde Notebook, this is a reference driver that can be installed on laptops NVIDIA GPU. However, please note that your computer laptop OEM (OEM) provides drivers certified for your mobile specific on their Web site. NVIDIA recommend you check with your OEM laptop on the software updates recommended for your laptop. OEM may not provide technical support for the issues raised by the use of this driver. +

  5. but here on the Toshiba site he says nVidia NB9x Display Driver true display VISTA 64 Bit 18/05/2009 7.15.11.7590 51,35 MB

  That is to say, the driver I have already.

  So... should I install the latest driver or not?
  If not, is there anything else I can do?

  Thank you very much for reading all this and thanks in advance for any help.

  See you soon

  Steve

  > Short is, devrais I update my NVIDIA driver from 175,90 (as shown on the Web from Toshiba site) to the Version: 186.81 WHQL as suggested by the NVIDIA site.

  Generally, you must use the graphics driver downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
  The graphic card driver from the Toshiba page has been tested and it s certified by Toshiba.

  The common graphics driver nVidia is not designed for laptop and that's why these drivers don't support a protection against overheating.
  Driver Toshiba done!

  So using the page nVidia graphics card driver can be risky and could overheat your GPU so the use of 3 third-party drivers is always at your own risk!

  I have thin you should stay with the driver from the Toshiba page

• Firefox is redirect to sites other than the one clicked on.

  When you click on search sites by using the bar (address bar not) search, you are redirected to one site other than the one you clicked on. It happens not on all sites found, but on a large number of them. However, in all cases where sometimes the site redirected to is [adlinksearch.com]. I use PC Tools Spyware Doctor and it has found no problems with Malware. I can go on the site if I put the address in the address bar. I use igoogle search bar. Please help with this issue, because it is very annoying.

• Satellite M50 suddenly does not work

  I wonder if anyone can help?
  My Satellite M50 seems to have a number of very important issues:

  On booting, I hear a note very acute and rather than go automatically in Windows XP, I gives me a choice of F2 (Set Up) or F12 (Menu I think it is called). If I hit the button enter the noise goes and go into Windows XP as usual.

  However, I can't sound on the Satellite, either from a CD or a DVD inserted or a live video or
  audio clip. I checked the control panel and audio is not muted.

  Also, my 'e' character on the laptop does not register (press and no character comes on screen - I have to fix a new keyboard to the laptop to use the letter "e") BUT in Excel or when I put in a URL, I often get a complete line after the rank of the character "e" (without warning) that stops if I press the button "Esc".

  I don't know if I was infected by a virus (I have Avira AntiVir Personal) & Malaware programs on the laptop, but I would be grateful for any help on this problem.

  See you soon!

  Bryan

  Hello

  I think it s a keyboard problem.
  The sound that appears at the beginning of the startup procedure means that a hardware failure has been detected.
  In my opinion it s related to the keyboard, since you have no keyboard under Windows OS functionality.
  So I would get in touch with ASP in your country and to order a new keyboard for the replacement.

  Regarding the sound issue.
  I don't know what that might be, but actually the first step should be an update of the driver or a new installation.
  Check if there is no yellow/reclamation brand that reffers to the sound card!

  See you soon

• Satellite M40-223: behavior strange keyboard

  Hi, I have a problem with my laptop M40-223. Sometimes it happens that the keyboard goes completely crazy, you can't write anything, or just a few letters and all the system becomes unstable and I have to reset (sometimes several times). I don't really know what to do, the system is clean of spyware/malaware, suggestions?

  Thank you in advance,

  L.

  Are you sure it s only a problem of keyboard and not a corrupted Windows OS?
  The hardware malfunction keyboard is possible that something similar happened on my laptop s a friend. The whole notebook was not accessible because the mouse cursor has jumped on the screen and it was possible to do something
  Finally, EPA has replaced the entire keyboard and solved this problem

  I m not 100% sure if your keyboard is faulty. I think that the new installation of operating system recovery CD is necessary to ensure that it is a hardware or software problem.

  If the same will appear after using the recovery CD then it s definitely a hardware problem and the part must be replaced!
