  I bought a used computer and it turns out he had a virus which damaged protected windows file. It did come with an xp disk. If I buy a new program windows that will fix my problem or the virus still be there and gnaw the new OS?

  Hello

  I want to let you know that the virus will always be there in the disk hard even if you install a new operating system, unless you do a clean install. Therefore, the elimination of the virus completely would be the best option from now.

  You need to do a full scan to remove all remaining virus.

  Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

  Since you do not have a disk, I suggest to create a new user account and check if everything is working well.

  To add a new user to the computer: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/usercpl_add_user.mspx?mfr=true

• I'm operating a windows XP Home Edition with service pack 3. Analysis of essential security of a windows shows that my computer is infected with a virus ' "Trojan horse: back/Alureon.A"»

  In January of this year my computer would freeze, or be very slow in its normal operation. This happened constantly. I tried to verify that my windows update check to be sure that I was getting my automatic updates. I was unable to connect to Windows update, no matter how many times I tried. This never happened before. So, I thought that my inability to connect to verify Microsoft Updates could be related to my computer running at a slow speed and / or gel constantly upward. When the computer froze, the only way to recover was to hit the kill switch and crash the computer. After the reboot, the computer could work normally for a period of minutes and resume again slow down and not to freeze completely upwards. For weeks, a Microsoft Tech person (Kevin) worked with me by e-mail and tried to fix my computer problems. Kevin exerted a lot of patience and accompanied me through a series of steps designed to understand what the problem was and fix it. At the time where we ran a Microsoft Scan (Scan, I believe was the name One) followed by an analysis "HijackThis". Kevin then read the results of analysis and recommended destruction of vast print of HijackThis. This has made some slight improvement to operations. As Kevin has attempted to provide additional assistance, I left for vacation. I came back, I did a scan of Microsoft Essential that determined that my computer is infected with a virus called "Trojan:DOS / Alureon.A.

  How do I rid my computer of this Trojan horse and restore my Microsoft updates and restore normal operation of the system?

  Thanks, Ben

  Raz2009,
  If you have a known problem with the virus then I suggest to get an antivirus program that you can boot from and run it without starting Windows.

  Another option would be to format your drive and do a clean install of Windows (this would remove all the data of your drive).  If you have a backup of your data, this is the best course of action.  If you do not have a backup, you can then do a parallel install (This installs XP in a different folder if you don't lose any data). Here is an article on installation options: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316941

• I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware.

  I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware. They said that they were connected with Windows, so I asked if they were Microsoft and they said that no Microsoft would not call me. Wouldn't be a darn good Microsoft. The guy was Indian or Pakistani and wouldn't give me a company name, no matter how many times I asked.

  They said they received reports from my computer it has been infected. The last call I let them go through their process to prove to myself that my computer has been infected. They told me to go to the event viewer, logs of windows, applications and said there will be errors and warnings there.

  It was proof that he was infected and that they wanted to give me their approval to scan my computer so their 'Microsoft engineers' can solve the problem with Windows tools. At this point, after 20 minutes, I denied their access to the computer and hung up that it had no proof that I was worried. One of our friends had the same call on fixing Windows sound, she had an Apple Mac, I would have liked to see their difficulty its version of Windows.

  I have 3 questions for this and they are: -.

  1 can. anyone if your computer is infected using the event viewer?

  2 can they tell if she is infected when the computer has a firewall and is also behind a router with a firewall?

  3. I would be right in thinking that there is another form of the scam fake phone call?

  1. If possible, get the errors or warnings in the event viewer is quite common, but say you have a virus just based on that, it's simply stupid.

  2. they do what is called call cold. They call every phone # in the phone book and say "your computer is infected" even if you do not, Yes, it's a scam and yes they are stupid.

  3. Yes. The only way they would be able to tell if your computer has a virus would be if they had access to it, and if they have BEEN with microsoft, which is not, it would be a breach of privacy.

• my computer is infected with a virus. I'm doing a system restore

  my computer is infected with a virus, I'm doing a system restore, but when I click on the tab to do it I get a message tha States window cannot find the path of restoration of the suggestions.

  Hello

  By using the system restore when you have malicious software is not a good idea, although she would go. System restore

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to

  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

• Suddenly, I got a screen that kept popping and a talker kept saying that your computer is infected

  suddenly, I got a screen that kept popping and a saying of the talker kept your computer is infected call, I called and a guy who sounded the India Indian answered the phone. I think it was the rogue and I hung the phone. I realized that my computer has been hacked. first of all, I couldn't open the photo file "access denied" but I was able to access my files.

  I turned off the computer immediately, and he left a couple of hours. now I can access all my files and photos. How can I clean my computer or the registry? should I install a registry cleaner, and that would take care of the problem?

  Hello

  Never, ever install a registry cleaner.

  We do not recommend using any registry cleaners, optimizers, the Driver Updaters, Tune - Up utilities, etc.

  They can do more harm to your any good operating system that they claim to be able to do.

  And it is an interesting read from Microsoft:

  "Are registry cleaners necessary?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/are-registry-cleaners-necessary#1TC=Windows-7

  Caveats

  • Some programs available for free on the Internet may contain spyware, adware or virus. Only download and install programs from software publishers that you trust. Even if the website, that you download the program trust, you must also trust the Publisher of the program. For more information, see when to trust a software publisher.

  • We strongly recommend that you change only the values of the registry that you understand or have been ordered to change by a source of that confidence. Be sure to back up the registry before making any changes.

  ____________________________________________________

  As you discovered, it was a SCAM.

  Microsoft Corporation and/or their affiliates will never get in touch with you through "popups", phone calls (unless you make arrangements with them), etc.,.

  And your computer does not send reports to someone saying he is infected by malicious software.

  ________________________________________

  And for you even see that popup and this popup giving you different telephone numbers to ring for assistance means that your computer is already infected by Malware
