my computer is locked because my antivirus is out of date
How can I remove it?
Hello
which antivirus?
an anti-virus do not normally snaps out you of your computer if it is expired
Just constantly update the definitions and leave you without protection against malware
I suggest that you scan for malware in safe mode with networking
Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php
You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill
Windows Vista
Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.
- When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
- Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
- To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
- Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
and if you need a new anti-virus uninstall antivirus expired when you get your machine will once again and then install avast anti-virus

Firefox asked a 'refresh', I pressed the button refresh and process running, computer then locked up to complete before. He has created a "old data file FireFox" on the desktop. I need to understand how trasfer the data in the old file of data in my FureFox 'new' to allow me to access my bookmarks and other. Thank you!
Hi Ken, Firefox will not start now, complaining that it cannot find its profile, or it starts up, but data are incomplete?
Here is a procedure to return to your prior to refresh the data. It takes 5 minutes, but it's probably faster than the recovery of individual data files and those in a new profile from loading.
Check inside the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds on your desktop in a folder with a name random semi. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.
Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:
Overview
Here are the steps described in more detail below:
- Create a new Firefox profile
- Delete all of this profile folder
- Copy in all of the old profile folder
Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)
Out of Firefox and start in the Profile Manager by pasting the following text in the search box of the start menu, or the start > Run dialog box and pressing ENTER:
firefox.exe -P
Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.
Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.
Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer
Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
- Menu help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
- (menu bar) File > Exit
Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.
Copy old data instead of new
In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).
Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).
Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.
Launch Firefox
Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?

My hard drive has been compromised?
I followed literally ALL the solutions that made me Blizzard technical support forums. How bout a solution to the problem that seems to be widespread?
Hello
· What are the steps that you took form of Blizzard Technical Support forums?
Follow the steps mentioned below.
Method 1:
It may be that some third-party software is causing this problem. Perform a clean boot and see if the problem is resolved.
If you can boot in safe mode, then I suggest you perform a clean boot.
1. click on Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start The System Configuration utility.
2. on the general tab click Selective startup , and then click to clear the check box loadstartup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
3. on the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click disable all
Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
1. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
2. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart

My iPAD asks me to update to OS 9.3, but the update fails because it says that the iPAD is not connected to the internet and when I connect to my computer iTunes it say my OS is up to date. Help, please.
I'm surprised to hear that for an iPad 2 that the issue had apparently been set for 2 s. Please see this for more details as I know them. Maybe the servers at your site have not been updated yet for the new version of the iPad 2. ???
Apple released the update iOS 9.3 for older devices (air of iPad and previous iPhone, 5 s and previous) due to problems with Activation. See the following for details and possible solutions.

Satellite A200 - message "your computer is locked.
First of all, I am a novice.
Secondly, I have a message on my main screen after opening which reads "Your computer is locked" and I can't do anything with it. I have stopped with the help of the key, closed the lid, control Alt Delete, did all the usual things, but this screen remains! I am running Vista Home Premium. Any advice would be magical.
Thanks in advance,
JayneMGo into Windows and check the power settings in the Control Panel, it can be programmed to lock the screen or enter mode sleep when you close the lid.
If there is a bad driver or software installed, it may cause problems with sleep mode.

I shut down my computer and put it in its case after use. 3 hours later, when I went to use it again once I took the case and it was hot. It's on and he said "your computer was stopped because of a problem. Anyone had this happen?
No. I have not experienced this before, after having turned off. It seems that your Mac was not completely extinguished before you he packed. Make sure that it is actually stopped before closing the lid.
