Click Start then Winword.exe (the executable file of Microsoft Word) in the search box, when it appears, you can right click on it to create a shortcut, or PIN to the Start Menu as you wish.

  • Ethernet and Wireless NIC inoperative; can not be uninstalled; It comes after virus removal

    After a virus removal, which did not seem to remove the files that would make this kind of problem (in fact he only renamed infected files), my Broadcom network to the ethernet port interface cards (1) and (2) wireless networks and (3) nVidia network controller are inoperative.  (Exclamation point in Device Manager under Network Interfaces error 39 ' no driver not loaded"of course; all implemented by a device MS_PASSTHRUMP driver).  The system is a laptop running WinXP SP2 (with its double chips AMD processor THAT XP SP3 installs successfully not when I tried it).

    Just by the way, the virus scan from a Linux bootable CD based, which seems to be a great idea to prevent some nifty behavior that virii have evolved until today, when they can actually run out of danger.  I wish I knew why the renaming of non-critical files where virus signatures have been found could cause this kind of problem with all the network adapters on the system.  The only linked folder links to networking was in the HP wireless Assistant and I have always used the Windows installation for the control of the wireless connection. (More later on this scanner).

    Additional verification shows that any problem 3 NICs have 'pilot' charged by Windows (if you ask "Driver Details").  For 2 of the 3, there is another very similar device (the exception is the driver of the Mini IP WAN), with their drivers loaded, from which you can determine the driver files.  All driver files are present (especially in the Win/Sys32/Drivers/folder of course).  Non-working devices have all "»" added to their names, to be a unique name, I guess. "  Windows seems to ignore the other copies for use, but does not seem to deal with the extent of their drivers OK loading.

    I tried to disable the problem devices and reboot, but that solves nothing.  If I try to uninstall any of these devices of problem (so that they can be reinstalled?), this operation fails, a message "failed to uninstall; may device is used for the start. "  There is a boot in the BIOS of the ethernet option, but that is disabled in the BIOS.  I wonder if these three devices have been added by the virus as a "shell" around actual devices and drivers for viral use?  If so, just be able to remove the devices of hull could them might solve the problem. with the exception of the hooks, they could have placed in the original device drivers.

    I also tried to reinstall these devices from the files of data recovery of manufacturer (HP) and that seems to unfold, but does not change anything about the netwrok connectivity.

    Things work to the point that a ping to itself (127.0.0.1) succeeds, so stack IP seems to works, but trying to ping the gateway router (which connects the laptop), fails - I used the ethernet (wired) connection in time.

    Tried to go back to a previous restore point, but who also does not work.  The Windows shell commits a violation of memory protection (each time) when you try to restart using (any) previous restore point, so the system restore undoes any changes he might have done could have fixed the issues above.

    Many details above.  I am looking for no idea regarding: (a) what could happen here, (b) how the network problem cards make installable again to get rid of them, (c) any other thing that might apply.

    Thank you.

    =======================

    November 5, 2009

    Problem solved.  Here's how.

    The blackout "Network Interface Cards" were virtual devices, created by the Virus.

    Steps, I made before the previous post (above):
    (1) unplug the machine infected of all access to the internet.
    (2) on another computer, I went to http://www.free-av.com/, click on the download tab and under "Free tools" at the bottom, chosen Avira AntiVir Rescue System.  Then I downloaded it, run, and it burned a bootable "rescue CD".
    (3) has taken the CD for infected people kicked and machine from him.  If you cannot open your CD with power off, another way is to start the system, insert the CD, then restart the system.  Pay attention to all messages early in the boot process before Windows loads.  Depending on your system configuration, you may need to change the boot sequence so that the CD drive is checked before the hard drive.  It's usually pretty easy to do, once you pressed the right key during startup to indicate you want to take control of this small point.
    (4) I forgot the exact option here once the CD boot system, but select that you want to run the virus scan.  It took about 2 hours on my laptop.  The initial default is report results only; I suggest to change that to rename infected files (which will add an XXX at the end of any "infected" file).  The analysis is quite complete, but can be overagressive at times.  It is not a complete scan, given that the big Compact files assessed completely.  Recording on paper for future reference: all of the alerts that were generated, the path and name of the file and the reason for the alert.  Some will probably be partial matches to the viral bosses identified as 'contains a model of detection' (a partial match suspicious), rather than 'contains the threat XYZ' (which means that all paired for identification).  Some of the files "suspicious" may be essential to the operation of your system and you want to UN-rename them back to their original name.  If in doubt, check with someone who knows the PCs.
    (5) now you should have a system contains it a neutralized virus to work for removal.  That's where I was when I filed the report.  My major issue remaining before cleaning the pieces of virus, which was now there is no internet access, no cable, no wireless on the infected system.

    OK, so what next?  My infection cause a virus named ndisvvan.sys driver.  If you also have this bad actor, then you may want to read in detail.  If not, then the following may, or do not apply to your case.

    (6) first, in Windows Explorer (let us remember that we are in Win XP), click on tools, then Folder Options... and select the view tab.  Go to the bottom of the list and select "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "hide the file Extensions known Types.  We will need to go into the hidden folders and know exactly the type of file that we deal with.  I guess it goes without saying that yu has to be a system administrator for what to do next.  Win Vista it makes it much more difficult, since sometimes the administrator has no access to all the files that have been installed by a different administrator ID.  It must mess with you give permission, or appropriate, the files you need to access.  I suggest to make a new folder ("VirusParts") to store all the files that you find on the virus, until you are ready to delete them forever.
    (7) first of all, open the file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS (now called HOSTSXXX) and move this file to your VirusParts folder.  This part of your internet access is now unlocked.
    (8) then go to C:\WINDOWS\inf, and browse for the files netsf.inf, netsf. PNF, netsf_m.inf and netsf_m.PNF.  These are the files that most likely loading drivers virus in your system.  Having a peek inside .inf files can help you identify some of the changes made by the virus to your registry.  The virus probably also created a new service on your machine.  In my case, the service was named Passthru, and device to implement ms_passthrump (Microsoft Passthru Miniport).  These names are actually from a document from Microsoft that explains how to develop programs of virtual device to filter the data goes or network devices.  If these are directly related to your virus, the program driver specified inside them will be none other than our ndisvvan.sys enemy.  Research in .inf files (these are files text; the.) The PNF files are binary, not text) can help identify the service or services that the virus added to your system, which are now (essentially) a part of the operating system that starts automatically with Windows.  Since there is no virus in the .inf or the. The PNF files, they will not be detected by an antivirus.  All .inf files sort in order of the date and time of creation.  Suspect not with a close date of one of the files netsf.inf and netsf_m.inf.  Windows compile .inf files in the. PNF files, which can occur a few days later, when windows moves to this task.  If you find these files, move them to your VirusParts folder where they can not be recharged.
    (9) to start the Panel (from the start menu), double-click 'System', then select the Hardware tab, then click the Device Manager button.  Expand the category of Network Interfaces, and some of them should have an exclamation point in a yellow circle showing.  If you right-click on each one and select Properties, you should see an error 39 (driver not found; the antivirus program renamed their ndisvvan.sys file).  If you click on the other tabs in the properties, you can find the device is something like ROOT\MS_PASSTHRUMP\0000.  Now, you know that you are very likely to something.  I had three devices affected with numbers 0000, 0001 and 0002.  Carefully note the names of the Network Interfaces.  Two of my friends were identical to the names of other Interfaces of network but with "»" added.  The interface of third-party network with a problem was named 'Miniport network EXPANDED (IP) -'.  But there is no corresponding legitimate network interface of the same name.  Common Council to recharge a bad driver is uninstall, no new hardware detection and let windows reload from .inf file specifications.  However, if you try to uninstall these interfaces (those with here in exclamation points) Windows tells you that they can't be uninstalled and "perhaps it is used to start" or other similar term.
    (10) this part is a bit tricky.  Ask someone who knows how to work with the Windows registry, if you're not on this topic.  Mistakes here can have disastrous results.  Enough said?  If you search the registry for "passthru", you will get several matches, mostly related in one way or another for the virus and his new 'service '.
    Under a path like HKEY_USER_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\MS_PASSTHRUMP\0000, you will find information as the name of the interface (make sure it matches the name that you noted earlier) and manages a definition of tha of the pilot program.  For example {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} \0014.  Do the same for MS_PASSTHRUMP\0001 (probably {... (10318} \0015) and \0002 (probably {... (10318} \0016).  The string of numbers and letters within the {...} identifies a particular program for windows, and the \0014 a particular use of the program {... 10318} is actually a standard part of windows and not a part of the virus.  However, uses \0014 \0015 and \0016 of this program have probably added by the virus.  Save the links: MS_PASSTHRUMP\0000 related to {... 10318} \0014.  Now, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Class and you will find a long list of class programs identified by their number {...}.  I suggest from the end of the list and the expansion of each occurrence of our {... 10318} in the list, one by one.  If you select the subitems in the extension of this list, each device has a name.  You are looking for Netwrok Interface devices.  Under the instance of our {... network interface devices 10318} it will be to the less 0014 points and probably at least 0016 (based on the links that we just recorded). 0014 resembled a legitimate wireless LAN interface, so I don't mess with this definition.  However 0015 and 0016 looked like they have been added by the virus.  Inside of each specification, you will find a key named "characteristic".  Its value is what prevents us from uninstall the network interface in the Device Manager.  Its value is a hexadecimal value that integrates several indicators for Windows.  In particular, the value 0 x 20 is the bit that specifies that the device cannot be uninstalled by the user, and 0x08 tells windows ' hide ' this device of the user.  Almost all of my devices had characteristics codes 0 x 29, including those created by the virus.  (I don't know; others might have been modified by the virus, but that seems a bit unlikely).  In any case, for the interfaces added by the virus, network we need to change their characteristic values of 0 x 29 something like 0 x 1 (you can also display the device).  Note that changing the characteristic value is a reversible operation that is likely to harm anything in the system.  We can always go back and change it back to 0 x 29, if we have not uninstalled the device.  In my case, I put the characteristics values on 0 x 1 for 0015-0016 devices, which looked like, they were added by the virus.  I did this in the CurrentControlSet control set and for good measure repeated it in ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 registry.  (Windows retains backups of critical information in the registry, in the different ControlSets and creates the CurrentControlSet Control at the system startup set.)
    (11) now return the Control Panel, then system, then the Hardware tab and then the Device Manager button.  Now you should be able to uninstall the network with exclamation points interfaces in the yellow circles, those we checked earlier was connected to the ndisvvan.sys driver of virus, using the MS_PASSTHRUMP interfaces for Passthru Windows service.  Since it's virtual devices, and we removed their .inf and. The PNF files, they're not coming after we uninstall them.
    (12) now, we have removed the network interface drivers that are added by the virus, but legitimate real pilots are not connected in the system correctly, so our internet connection still does not work.  We need to re - install the drivers of legitimate network interface.  To do this, in the device, right-click Manager and uninstall the device controller network legitimate.  On my HP laptop, it was named "nVidia nForce Network Controller".  After uninstallation, in the window menu in Device Manager, click Actions, and then select "Scan for hardware changes".  Windows should report that she has found a new network interface device and that it is set up, and in a minute or two, it is ready for use.  At this point, on my system, both the wired ethernet port and wireless LAN bustled again.

    I still have to go around cleaning the files renamed by the antivirus program and get them out of the PC, but at least the PC is now working without virus.  The virus may also have damaged the process of restoration of the system, which still fails to restore the previous system configuration.  (Windows Explorer always creates an exception address on reboot).  I still need to work on this problem.  The virus 'off' system restore for all drives by using a parameter, however the TWEAKUI tool (I think it was what I used) allowed me to override this setting and control of group policy.

    There are a lot of viruses out there who adopts this method to take control of low level of connections from the PC to the internet, while allowing to download more viruses and keyloggers in the future in respect of the remote control.  Some of these viruses attach also to the many many files the user program.  In this case it has little alternative except to wipe the drive and start over with a clean, install since often these files cannot be cleaned.  Fortunately, my infection was not serious, and it was possible to remove the virus as described above.  I hope this description helps somebody out there.

    This answer is just a formality to change the resolved state.

  • How can I fill right side of the menu of the orb after virus removal?

  • Basic functions and issues related to the Internet after virus removal

    I hope someone can help with my daughter's laptop.  I think this is the right forum.

    Back in March she got a rogue virus on his laptop computer. It has been removed successfully, but the programs on his personal user account have still some problems. She tries to open any program by double-clicking its icon, a screen will appear asking you to choose a program from a list to open it with. If instead, she clicks on the icon of the program and chooses to start, it opens fine (but is very painful to have to do so every time). In addition, some basic on this user account functions do not work (it does not receive some pop-up windows to the top when it should, the scroll bar on its mouse pad no longer works, programs configured to start at startup must be started manually, etc.). Finally, after being and deletion of another rogue virus a few weeks ago, the internet on his personal user account stopped working, only display a "Cannot display the Web page" page even if network connections show that it is connected to the internet. NOTE: None of these problems exist on the administrator account or if she is invited to log on as an administrator.

    A gifted friend computer has helped to ensure that the computer is free of any virus or malware but was not able to understand how to fix this user account.  It was suggested to delete this account and create a new user, but she doesn't want to have to do that, if possible, since she spent a lot of time customizing.

    The laptop is a HP Touchsmart PC with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium (x 64), AMD Turion X 2 Dual - Core Mobile RM-75.

    Thanks in advance!

  • ICloud empty after the removal of 10 beta 4 to 9.3.4

    5 16GB iPhone

    iOS 9.3.4

    After doing a 9.3.3 OTA update to 9.3.4, I discovered that certain things have been configured accordingly as if a synchronization has occurred with some archived data to icloud for months, I had been using icloud synchronization. But low and behold, when you view the 'Contacts' I learned quickly what had apparently been used in the 9.3.4 install gave when I initially activated iCloud months ago. In other words, a significantly outdated Contact list, a Notes app horribly sad and empty and so on.

    I tried to use my iMac to search around visiting icloud.com/myusername etc., but everything is essentially empty except for the very limited data in the opposite direction on the iPhone 5. The list of contacts is indeed very frustrating, but I've been using Notes in a hyper prolific measure, even including drafts for an upcoming book that I write. These are just a very small example of very critical data that I had taken for a long time. I'm completely panic in this regard and desperately need help to find it.

    A few quirks to consider: I backed up as well during a concert of photos using the mechanism that allows the user to store archived on iCloud photos, leaving versions "optimized" locally, which, when selected RESUMES to their original size and version (uncompressed). 9.3.4 current iOS seems to recognize this archive correctly on iCloud, I tested a handful of images successfully. But didn't want to push my luck. Using my I Mac, however, no sign of the gig of photos, but the available space shows less than half of the total 5 shows available, but no files or data anywhere near the 2 400 MB currently stored in iCloud. ***?

    Is it just me, or is strangely cryptic iCloud and arcane in its usefulness? Also, why there is a mobile version of iPhone support area on Earth is not community are?

    I am really desperate for help here

    You say that your backup data in iCloud are non-existent?

  • Windows XP does not correctly initialize after virus removal

    I am running Windows XP Home SP3 with FF 5.0.  I had a virus (Backdoor.RBot) the Avast program not found. Nor have programmed the MRT of Microsoft, or the online scanner. Used Malwarebytes and the virus has been removed. Installed Microsoft Security Essentials, uninstalled all the AV programs, cleaned the registry and descended from MSE. Found another virus (HackTool:Win32KeyGen) removed. At the verification by disk, removed 4 corrupted files associated with e-mail, uninstalled and reinstalled Yahoo Messenger program, because I had problems with it.

    When booting, I get a black screen with the icons of the bureau shows that the white circles, and then the screen flickers and returns to normal.

    My Windows Media Player gets up into pieces, the screen comes first with half of the taskbar, then it wobbles, and the other half rises.

    Problems with FF. Sometimes freezes when I have more than one tab open. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Makes no difference.

    IE8 did the same thing.

    Also, with FF or IE8, when you open a new tab, I get a white screen that loads very slowly and sometimes not at all. I get error messages telling me that the page has been reset by the server (no numbers).

    MSC is prompting me every 4 hours or more to scan, and when I run a full scan, it takes at least 5 hours to run. Yesterday, the scan took 10 and a half hours to run!

    The fan of my computer is almost constantly running.

    I'm afraid, I have damaged more files / programs.

    Any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty new with a PC, so please be as simple as possible.

    Thank you.

    No emails? I guess that if you use Web-based e-mail, you don't have them on your PC.

    At the very least, copy your favorites of IE from here:

    C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Favorites

    You can copy them to a USB flash drive, a CD or a floppy disk (if you have a floppy drive and floppy!).

  • Activate the copy of windows for Windows not genuine error after Virus removal

    Hello

    About 2 weeks back, I had to contact my business anti-virus software to help me with a problem of PC viruses presumed and it turns, 3 files on my pc were infected - 1 being a registry key. As part of their process of cleaning, they have deleted all 3 files (I don't know what registry key has been infected) but since then my machine acted strange... first of all, my laptop had an activated version of Windows 7 professional since late March / early April of 2012, but given that these 3 files were deleted , it gives me the message "this computer is not running genuine windows. Also I am not able to open the windows sound mixer.
    A deletion of registry keys could cause this scenario? Is there a way to fix things to make my PC work as before WITHOUT a format/reinstall everything? Note When I open the properties of the system, windows confirms the OS has been activated.
    Thank you

    You're welcome-good luck.

  • Action menu is empty; "You have not installed the extensions.

In the system preferences panel, the only options on the left are all and share Menu. Share menu 'not allowed' in gray below. Everything indicates "you have not installed the extensions.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.
