Malware scanner found hundreds of viruses. What to do now?

Hello

my friend has a laptop Toshiba, model no. PSAK2E - 001003KS. She came to tell me that she can you use his cell phone and when I started the laptop, it says hard drive failure and it still allows me to start window.

When I checked it didn't even run anti virus, so I scanned the virus with a malware scan, the scan has found hundreds of viruses even in about 10 minutes. But the thing is that the laptop shut itself down before the finished scan, and everytime when I start it, it turn off by itself after a few minutes of the window being initialized.

Do you think that the cause is malware? But no idea how I can clean while I can not even finish the scanning?
Thx a lot...
Appreciate it

Don t waste your time to scan the HARD drive. Reinstall the OS and restore your laptop to a friend with your own OS preinstalled.

Believe me, it's the best thing you can do.

  • Malware scanner vs IPS network

    Hello

    I confused these days about the difference between network malware scanner and IP addresses.

    For example - Cisco has no built-in malware scanner in him will END, but some sellers have. What is the purpose of having at the same time the IPS and malware? The only thing I can think of is to malware scanners may fix infected files (e.g. IronPort ESA) and IPS directly falls traffic.

    An IPS scans the packages while a malware scanner scans the files. The Cisco IPS, you can configure in a promiscuous or inline modes. In inline mode, the IPS can identify and remove malicious packets before they were unleashed on the network. "Promiscuous", a copy of each packet is sent to the IPS mode and dangerous packages are identified after arrival at destination. This means viruses, malware, etc. can potentially be activated on the network.

    The network analysis anti-malware already installed malware scanner. For example, if a new flavor of malware is sent as an attachment to an email address on your network, IP addresses will not pick up it because it doesn't have a signature for her. If the attachment is opened, it has triggered. If you have regular scans with your network malware scanner, it's something that it will pick up.

  • Safari has found a Trojan virus (e.tre456_worm_osx).

    I thought that I was updating my flash drive, but apparently, instead I installed malicious software on my iMac.  Now, whenever I run Safari, I get redirected to a page that looks like it tries to be the Apple Support, but wants me call (and pay, I'm sure) to get this virus deleted from my computer.  I have also get this popup notice, "Safari has found a Trojan virus (e.tre456_worm_osx) on your Mac.  The site I'm headed to that is http://apple.com-systemnotice.com.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Don't go to the site. Download and run MalwareBytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our colleagues here to ASC. He received rave reviews and is on the more proven anti-malware for Mac software.

  • Windows Recovery eliminated virus and recovered office, now back in the office hidden objects

    Hello

    I removed the Malware from Windows of a customers machine and then fixed recovery problems that caused removal regarding masking of the files linked on the desktop and programs.

    It was successful and the machine is free of Virus/Malware
    All this happened early last week.
    On Friday of last week the customer called me to say he had intermittent problems where the machine would start sometimes and sometimes wouldn't.
    Start fail meant it would go beyond the Welcome screen, but the Office would hang until he could use the machine, and then he could exercise a strong offshore and restart.

    I made a visit, and as usual with intermittent problems the machine showed no defects.
    I ran HiJackThis and could not see anything in the paper that pointed to more malware.

    Today the customer asked me to watch the machine he was not starting properly.

    What is happening now is the machine starts, gets past the opening screen, plays the startup sound and displays its normal wallpaper.
    However, there are no icons on the desktop and the taskbar is non-existent. Make a right click on the desktop will not bring a menu, and if I plug a USB it does not show one menu AutoPlay.
    The screensaver comes in after 10 minutes I thought it should and the task manager can be started with Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
    If I boot safe mode all I get is a black screen with notifications of Mode without fail to every corner of the screen and nothing else.

    Outside of the machine is not not usable it tells me that the machine correctly but does not show what it should.
    Can someone let me know what is the best way to go from here.

    I have supported Linux systems for three years so a command line is not a problem.

    Ah, the operating system is Windows XP Home SP2 (sorry)

    Mike

    If your customer has used the power button, the system of NT (NTFS) files may be slightly damaged.

    You must first run a chkdsk/r of a real installation of XP bootable XP Recovery Console or a bootable XP Recovery Console CD you can do (no XP media required) and be sure the file system is clean.

    Since you are able to get into the Task Manager, take a look at the processes tab to see if explorer.exe is running.

    If explorer.exe does NOT work, this is the reason why your office is (probably) just to show a background image.  The explorer.exe IS your way.  If explorer.exe is not running, all you will see is the background image.

    If explorer.exe does not work, see if you can start it manually as follows:

    In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:

    %windir%\explorer.exe

    Click OK and see if get you your office.  Of course explorer.exe must always be running.  If this isn't the case, you need to understand what the problem is and fix it.

    If you have removed the malware, what applications did you use?

    I would recommend this at some point:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Setting pop-up Windows Safari

    [The following is the user stevejobsfan0123. [I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.]

    Difficulty a few pop ups browser that supported Safari

    Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

    Quit Safari

    Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

    Relaunch Safari

    If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

    It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

    When you try to download a book from my library, I get an error message: error, check activation.  What should I now please?

    Hi 7Philip1116,

    Using the Adobe Digital Editions software? If so, I suspect that you meet one of the known activation errors. Often, deactivation and reactivation (cmd-shift-D on Mac) or ctrl-shift-D Windows will solve the problem. Instructions step by step, but also other possible solutions are available here: Errors of Activation

    If it is not a question of Digital Editions or if the advice above do not resolve your problem, please respond with a few more details so that we can better solve the problems. What software Adobe are you use and the type of device/operating system? Can you provide a screenshot of the error? The specified item was not found.

  • Coating antiglare display blur, what to do now?

    I try to contact apple but nothing I have, it does not mean that my year warranty ended I can't contact you more Apple! I paid $ 2700 to buy this laptop and the problem I have is due to the defect in your product. In fact it appears after purchase with 4-5 months but I don't take it seriously, because I think only to be cleaned. But later I discovered that it is screen glare coating bearing Off. Keys on my keyboard and the Trackpad leave many signs on my Retina display and they bother me while I'm doing my job? I don't really know what to do now Apple! Thank you!!

    We do not know when you bought this unit (you tell us that). If you have a warranty to it to Apple. If you have no warranty nor left Applecare you can always consider to Apple & ask they solve or investigate it, they can help you or offers repairs / replacements for a sum if you don't have warranty left.

    We are just other users so we cannot talk about Apple or get your problem is resolved. Contact Apple support directly or entrust it to a genius bar station.

  • entered an apple ip and the password and wont tell me what it is now it is stuck at the icloud entry address and the password and cant get by... He's a mini ipad

    Mini iPad do not know what operating system is installed an icloud account and the password has been entered by avarice and don't know what it is. now, it is askink for icloud id and password and can not get this page. any help would be greatly appreciated

    Just to clarify your question, you have an iPad, requesting a password to an Apple ID which is not yours. If this is correct, the only way to go is to have the person who owns that ID and password in order to remove it. If you don't know who did it or can't find that person, you will need to take the iPad with the original receipt of purchase for an Apple Store to restore them for you.

  • now that xp is outdated, which is a good or better browser to use ie or firefox ect... chrome is what Im using now, but this is no longer supported

    * Original title: browser in xp?

    now that xp is outdated, which is a good or better browser to use ie or firefox ect... chrome is what Im using now but it is not supported anymore thanks in advance

    Support for XP ended almost 2 years ago.  As you have seen, the software developers third release improvements to their products that no longer work with XP.  The writing on the wall for some time: "Move to a new operating system."

    It is my understanding that Google has extended support of Chrome for XP until this April.  http://www.Express.co.UK/life-style/science-technology/618584/Google-chrome-browser-support-Windows-XP-Vista

    For now, Firefox will run on XP sp2 or later, and opera will also run on XP or later.  As far as I know, Mozilla or Opera announced at support XP will disappear.

    However, even though these browsers will have the latest versions of their own code - unlike IE, which provides only for XP support through IE 8 - a web browser is only as
    safe"as its underlying operating system.  For XP, it is not so sure.
