  • window repair virus won't let me not even run in safe mode system restore.

    original title: window repair virus won't let me not even run in safe mode system restore.  What should I do now?

    Research on the web.  Not far from the computer.  Computer is speaking.  Windows repair itself downloaded to my computer XP Prof  Apparently erased all programs, all about office except explore and recycle bin.  Computer restarted in safe mode to do a system restore to an earlier date to wipe clear out of the memory of the computer.  Has started the system restore, you click on a date, click, hourglass and then nothing.  No message, nothing.  Click Next again and still nothing.  Download Security Essentials.  Took several attempts so that it can be updated.  Computer turns off.  EU Security Essentials uninstall and reinstall.  Finally updated.  I hope this works!

    Hi, John. I had to deal with this virus of the Windows repair. I have had pretty good luck (fingers crossed anyway) by using the removal guide posted on bleepingcomputer.com.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-Windows-repair

    They have a program called rkill download that stops all the running processes. Allows you to prevent the virus from Windows repair. It will give you a file log and show you things that stop you. Write those down.

    I had the same problem you had with not be able to update Malwarebytes. I would like to run rkill, run Malwarebytes, and then reboot and repair Windows would jump to the top. On the third try, I didn't restart after running rkill and Malwarebytes. Instead, I searched for the files that rkill to stop (and I wrote down) and remove them manually from the C drive. Also, I have downloaded and run CCleaner which has removed registry now dead keys associated with the repair of Windows virus in the registry.

    CCleaner: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

    Then I rebooted. That seemed to do the trick: I was able to update Malwarebytes again. I ran the program display offers the site computer network, and which unhid all files that was hiding the Windows repair virus.

    Again seems to work... thought it might be of help to you as well! Good luck!

  • Windows 8 for Windows xp update fails at 90% and does not start.

    I read the below and see if there are solutions.

    I paid for 1 hour to help Microsoft Tech to take on my desktop computer and at the end

    He said there are so many chat lines, he could not follow after clicking on install.

    He beat anything, antivirus, I disconnected all devices except the mouse and keyboard.

    Of course the update, which I downloaded and confirmed with their diagnosis that the

    computer has been updated failed 90% and would not restart.

    When I went to system logs, I even tried to disable restore.

    Nothing helps.

    I think there must be something which is not allow restarting after installation.

    The message just says: failed to install. No diagnosis or whatever it is.

    If a Microsoft technology, which grabbed my computer couldn't do work I'm close to trying to get

    my money back and stopped a complete package. I don't have to Microsoft backup disk, which
    I'll try again.

    Once again: problem is installation of Windows 8 reaches 90% and then only will fail.

    the 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.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run

  • Computer will not start. Can't even get into safe mode.

    First title: computer start problems

    When I turn on my computer, a message appears saying soething like 'your computer was turned off not properly' and gives options to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode command prompt or start normally, any I selects the screen then just goes black... Help? Any ideas?

    Hi SophieNetherway,
     
    -Remember to make changes to your computer between the calendar when things worked fine and now?
     
    Follow the steps listed in the article given to solve this problem:
  • Window XP professinal machine crashed and does not even not start in safe mode.

    I installed "Spybot Search and Destroy" on my Windows XP Professional machine and started the application. Received a notice of bubble that the hard drive is nearly full, and then the computer froze. Did a hard reboot and went normally up until the point when the login screen appears normally then the screen went black and nothing worked except the mouse. Do you have another hard reboot and tried to start in windows safe mode. Once again, everything is going well until the point windows should have arisen screen then black again, except this time it says xp professional SP2 safe mode window. Or something simila across the top and the bottom of the screen. I don't have my original XP disc and have no idea of what would be the product key. The computer was purchased from a former employer, at the time of the purchase by them, it was a machine under windows 2000 and they have upgraded later to XP, most likely on the internet, so no XP cd. What are my options on the recovery of XP. And if that is not possible with the lack of information do you think I can upgrade the computer to Windows 7 or should I install original version. I know that the hard drive is good because I have another old machine windows 2000 can I put the hard drive in and it will read and write from the hard drive. Problem is you can't see half of the car becase the formatting of the file is different. a majority of the data I want to save the hard drive is on the side, that I don't see in the old machine.

    Joe,

    first put your hard drive of the computer that you have questions with in the computer that works well. delete or move data from the old hard drive to the other disk to free up space make sure you have about 5 GB minimum FREE on the old hard drive. Also run a virus scan and spyware on this hard drive. Then try to start the player of ard again and see if you can return to windows.

    Good luck! Please rate me upward if you find my post helpful. Thank you!

Not all the time but more than half the time. It's the same thing I move a simple email or select a bit and drag everything at the same time. I use 38.3.0 with Firefox 42.0.

  • Computer will not start after the installation of Kaspersky, will not even go into safe mode

    I tried to install Kaspersky on my laptop this morning to roll some viruses on my computer. After you restart during the installation, I got the blue screen of death with a STOP 0x000000F4 error code. I can't use my phone at all now, and it will not work in SafeMode either. I tried to restore the computer to before that Kaspersky was installed but it cannot do so. I tried to restore to the last known good configuration, but that did not work. I have no idea what to do now. My laptop is basically useless now and I am very angry.

    If I have the Kaspersky disk in I kind of access Kaspersky, and it keeps telling me it is obsolete and must be updated, but it will not be updated. Also, it tries to mount the drives or something and gets stuck trying to create the swap file. I don't know if it's important, but I'll post it anyway.
    I'm at a loss to know what to do...

    If you have tried to install an AV program after your PC has been infected you left it too late.

    Your safest option is to use your recovery discs to get destructive if you plant (make sure that the external devices are disconnected during this process)

    I hope that you, the data has been saved you will lose everything on the PC

    Once recovered allow windows update to do its thing for Important updates ONLY. It may take several reboots.

    If any update fails cure this problem before doing anything else.

    Once the update finished visit of manufacturers of laptop for important driver updates to update necessary.

    Only after this has been done, you should start installing software or external devices.

    If an installation fails, solve this problem before

If I try to remove it from there it remains, but when I leave the folder and back then it will be deleted? Please help very frustrating

    Try to compact and repair the database and see if that fixes the problem (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  If not, then look for antivirus or other 3rd party program interference (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 of many antivirus programs are not compatible with WinMail).  But suffice it to compact and repair the database could solve the problem.

    The "use settings customized for history" allows to see current history and cookies settings, but select this setting is not to make changes to the parameters of the history and cookies.

    Firefox displays the "use the custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one story and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that the changes have been made.

    If all the history settings are default, custom settings are hidden and see you "conservation rules: (never) don't forget history."

    "Never remember history" means that private browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" Gets a check mark.
