    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    This clearly shows that your PC has been infested with malware. This style is called "denial of service attack". You need to format your hard drive and do a clean install of Windows or you need to contact the vendor of the antivirus software that you use, to support.

    See you soon.

  • my computer has vista, how it can change window 7

    response of Vista how do to change window 7 low

    augustine52 wrote: response of vista how to change window 7 low

    Hello augustine52, if your system comes with Vista, you should be able to upgrade to Windows 7. I would like all first download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, which can be found here .

    It will scan your system and determine if there are any problems that might prevent you from upgrading to Windows 7.

    It will also determine if you have Vista x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). If your Vista system is the x 86 version and you wanted to move to the x 64 version, you would be required to perform a new installation of the x 64 version, while you might switch to the x 86 Vista to Windows 7 x 86.

    If there are no problems that could prevent you from upgrading to Windows 7, you should be able to acquire either a Windows 7 upgrade version or a full version of Windows 7 retail.

  • My computer has been stolen! Can I install my Win 7 Pro drive on my new computer and disable the operating system on the old computer?

    My computer has been stolen! It had Windows 7 Professional 64 bit for the new buildings of the computer. I still have the original disc and product key. Can I deactivate the license on the stolen computer and install my copy of the OS on my new computer? I'm having a hard time trying to find the funds to buy what I had once and I think it's not fair if I have to buy a new product key, when I still have the original disc and has been victim of theft.

    If its an OEM version of Windows, you are probably out of luck (can't hurt to try). For a version of "Retail"...

  • New computer has Win 8.1, old computer has Vista - two different worlds?

    Transfer files from my old computer Vista on my new computer with 8.1 was a mess (Windows Easy Transfer has failed, Dell help do everything for me).

    Now is the time to throw the old computer (Vista), but want to make a backup of the data before deleting.  My question is this:

    If I do a backup of my Windows Vista desktop in the center of backup and restore that data can be read on a Win OS 8.1?  If not, is there another way to save old computer in case a vital file did not have its way on the new computer?

    How to backup your data in Vista is to go to where your data is stored (documents, music, etc.) > right click on what you want to record > place your mouse cursor on send to > have a Memory Stick or USB hard drive connected > Send your data to that.

  • Message update\update.exe is not a valid file because the computer has been infected from malware attacks

    Original title: update\update.exe message is not a valid file when tried to install IE8 KB2744842 patch

    I got this virus live Platinum security.  I think about Microsoft bulletin as CVE - 2012 - 4969 Backdoor: Win 32/Poison.BR supposedly he is gone now with PC Tools Spyware Doctor with antivirus.  I can no longer get critical updates to www.update.microsoft.com and cannot go there and get either them.  I have automatic updates turn on my computer, but when I go to the update site, it asks me to turn on the automatic updates, but doesn't change from red to green.  If I click on the express, it gives me a message there is a problem with the web page.  I have read some solutions and typed in will looking for three files like BIT and update, but the only one listed was the workstation.  I did some research and found the servers to Windows IE8 patch KB2744842 and downloaded and when I tried to install it, he unpacked himself and then ran, and then I got the message saying that update\update is not a valid Win 32 application.  I searched this file and found it was created on 20/09/2012, the same day I had the terrible malware and under properties, it is called configuration of Windows Service Pack, the version of the 6.3.0004.1 built by: dnsrv, internal name update.exe, English, original name: update.exe on my computer, it is C:\\bb5d6cfc84bf6a13dde9b006.update

    Try to solve this problem cost me $230 plus the cost of PCTools Spyware.  I called a number to the www.spywarehelpcenter.com to support when I was having trouble installing the PCTools in safemode and said Malwarebytes Pro was much better and used by companies and he said he gave me $150 off so it cost me one once charge $50 and there is no renewal and sold me a one year $ 180 contract to remove the virus and the development of my computer.  He had insisted on it going remotely and showed me all these errors.   I think that I made a mistake to trust him.  Two technicians have worked on my computer remotely on two different days without a firewall and installed Malwarebytes Pro three times because it kept to give a message of corruption, and it is that when I pointed out to them there is no firewall that was added by a sort of sharedaccess.reg problem is I can't get and install the critical updates.  I trust a third time to do things?  They have deleted quite a few programs.  I think that maybe the problem is that they were not aware of the fixit patch and the full patch to IE8.  I run Windows XP Professional and probably should upgrade to Windows 7 in the near future.

    I should add that a few days before that happened, I noticed that if I went in sysedit, the config.sys and autoexec.bat files windows were empty.   My computer has always competed, but it seemed very slowly.  I could not find a solution for this and read that you don't really need these files.  I have the original operating system disk and has been reading how to install it, but only for the repair by pressing 'r' and let it repair missing files.   So I don't know what to do.  Any advice?  I am so tired of this, but still have hope to operate correctly.

    Hi Catnip009,

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: I suggest you to download and make a bootable CD or USB to Windows Defender in offline mode, and then run the tool.
