  The safety of MS Scanner will not prevent your system from being infected again - you need to use another product to help with that.

  No single analytical tool seems to know everything, so it is prudent to use more than one.

  Microsoft is not in cases of prevention, detection or removal of malware - that aren't their specialty.  There are other companies where the removal, prevention and detection of malware is their specialty and that's all they do all day long.

  Why are we expect or ask Microsoft to surpass in the areas where it's not their job?

  We do not know enough about your system for now, so see if you can get it cleaned up and stabilized first and then decide what to do next.

  If you still think your system may be achieved a malware, I would do these things before you start any troubleshooting effort:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Download and run Hitman Pro here and during installation to be 100% sure to refuse the installation of toolbars, decline any e-mail options, nothing to do with Bing or MSN, perform a scan time, accept no e-mail and activate the free license:

  http://www.SurfRight.nl/en/downloads/ (make sure you get the free version)

  Download and run TDSSKiller from Kaspersky:
  http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

  The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

  If you still think that you have any questions, then proceed as follows:

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

• concerned about the flaw of 'zero-day' on windows xp

  I found that after Windows XP support ends April 8, 2014, the system would be extremely vulnerable to more viruses and spyware through what are called "zero-day forever." Is there no matter WHAT OTHER WAY AT ALL, in addition to security updates is more after April 8, in order to make Windows XP more secure and free of vulnerability?

  Hello

  Like any support for XP ends as you described (patches of security, patches, updates, etc.), XP should in no case the standards to be sure, given that Microsoft is no longer will develop measures to prevent exploits.

• Satellite Pro A300: Problem with Microsoft Security Essentials

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with XP SP3 and now deleted AVG Free and installed Microsoft Security Essentialls (MSE).

  The result is after installing MSE and begin my laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen and will not respond to the inputs of the mouse or the keyboard.

  In aid of F12 to get my startup options allowed me to try the Safe Mode and last known good Configuration etc but they all show the same functionality, IE freeze when the desktop appears. XP seems to be operating in the background, for example system clock stays on time, "notice" system if its wifi singal is removed etc.

  Just to make the day to try to do an OS reinstall pressing 0 to on has no effect - system just boots in XP - so I can't my recovery partition!

  I have now is not a HW problem as the /kbd cursor works if I boot into a non-windows system, for example UBUNTU CD

  Any suggestions welcome - such as can I download a recovery on antother PC CD and burn a recovery CD?

  Hello

  I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
  I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=58

  But this would format the system partition :(

  In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
  Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.

• Update Microsoft Security Essentials KB2804527 fails. Ran the recommended "Fix it" and that failed.

  In recent weeks, I had a rash of customers, who have all had problems with Microsoft Windows Update across different versions of Windows.

  Currently, this client is running Windows XP with installed MSE.  Windows Update has the MSE KB2804527 update as an important update, but it fails.

  I tried the recommendations I found in the community, and I tried to run the recommended tool 'Fix It' on it, all this without success.

  I'll try to get a live chat support or phone support session goes with Microsoft, but am posting this to the community to be a 'good citizen', so to speak.  :)

  Someone at - it solve this problem yet?  What is happening with MSE updates?  Why are they scrambling so frequently by various platforms? \

  I'm guessing that you're referring to a problem involving the Security Center that happens sometimes after update silent through updates of Windows to the new version of MSE... but it is also sometimes occurring after the updates of Windows 'monthly '.  Usually, but not always the problem occurs on computers running XP.

  If the MSE icon is green then you should be protected and cannot ignore this Security Center warning. The problem resolves after a few days.   I do not pretend you disable the protection in real time on MSE, disable Security Center, restart the computer and then turn everything back on and restart once more... some users report this sequence fixed the problem.

• How can I report an impersonator, quickly and directly to Microsoft Security?

  In 2006, I became aware of my early days of nightmare of identity theft. It has been a difficult since, battle with the wonderful support and guidance of personal bank, company credit and other supporters who have helped me during my recovery after a personal loss. These criminals in cyberspace have also stole my time and finances. Is there a quick way to receive help, support Technique were wonderful when it is able to connect.

  Prove to Google, Yahoo, Firefox and many others that I was the real deal, has been no picnic - with endless forms being filled, change the information often, then several times don't know if I was on a satirical page and the data for "The Enemies."
  I have seen today, how they already put counterfeit copies of my website logo and another photo, I used on a Google page + to add to their gallery. Also collect data from another another SEO, including Microsoft Security appears to have locked my IP address to enter, as to receive reports of errors. I think that it is these criminals who are behind all the attacks of phishing on me, my family, friends, potential customers. My fight against the damage and restore my reputation on the Internet has been a very long and costly process.
  Microsoft Security - thank you very much for have not entered me many sites. Microsoft team! Great job on the comparison S.W.R., old & new. Much easier to read and understand.

• Not able to install the update to Security Advisory 2718704 security.

  Original title: Security Advisory 2718704.

  Hello

  I am running Windows XP Tablet SP2 because SP3 trashes my graphics card.
  Should I worry about FLAME? What do you recommend?
  When I tried to apply the patch, I got a message that I need SP3!

  Thank you

  Info: Support for WinXP SP2 ended nearly two years ago.

  Fact: The computer lacks literally scores of critical security updates.

  Fact: The computer in question must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  OPTION A: Take the computer to a local computer equipment recycler & kiss goodbye.

  OPTION B: Format the hard drive and then do a clean install (another?) of Windows. [Remove Acronis images previously created in advance].

  Follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to-the-letter & in order! ): http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

  If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

  Tip: If you still have problems with the pen after cleaning install, chances are that you just need a driver updated for the capture software. You should be able to find the update of the pilot on the bridge or the device, the manufacturer download pages.

  Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

  I have nothing to contribute to this discussion.

  Hello

  To enhance the security and performance of your computer, it is recommended to remove the updates.

  If you do not use automatic updating, you must check the updates at least once a week. Microsoft publishes updates generally important on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. However, updates could be released at any time.
