• I use a lot my daily life of the computer. I hear CLICKING noises that are not caused by me! Who and where are the clicks noises coming from? Is there a ROOTKIT, someone somewhere romoting access my internet service?

  Is there a Rootkit, or someone somewhere romoting access my internet service?  I use my computer for several hours every day.

  This year I went through a CRASH my system in September due to my memory stick in my digital camera INFECT my computer.  I bought a new computer that's how it was.  I'm also a MODEL all CIS although I am learning.  Since then, I've downloaded the AMOUNTS of VIRUS protection.  Of course, I didn't know it was my stick of memory from my digital camera which has infected my computer, I only understood what a month ago.  So, you guessed it, even my brand new computer became infected soon enough.  I recently did a RESTORE on it, which has erased everything.

  My point is, I had about 4 people from remote access my computer to try to resolve the various problems with it several times last year.  These people are found in various places: Argentina, India, Phillippians.  I found it interesting.  Whenever they take control of my computer from their remote location.  Once the session is completed, they finished their access.

  Why what I hear clicking then I use my computer?  As I wrote this, I heard it about five times.  What is it?  Why gives me the feeling that someone is using my internet.  Talk about paranoia, makes me think that they can get in my email when I look at my bank account etc.  Is there a possibility that this actually happens or not?

  My son has a laptop that he uses a lot with the internet service that I use.  His laptop using WI - FI.  It uses the X - Box live wi - fi.  These things are going at the same time while I use my internet connection.  Would this be causing clicks?  I would like to know if there is violation of privacy occurring and/or and "OUT OF BOUNDS" type of question, where someone from a remote location using my Comcast service internet and maybe even can see confidential things on my personal login.

  Thank you, WG

  I used my mouse that you asked and he makes no noise whatsoever (it's a laser wireless mouse) - well it makes a rattling noise when I click with the right button or left mouse on an icon as it should, but nothing outstanding at all - is the click made by the mouse when you click on an icon or a hyperlink that you speak?  And you say he doesn't mouse, but from somewhere inside the computer?

  Someone smart enough to gain access to your system to be able to do the things you're afraid of that happening is smart enough to make sure that the computer does not have a noise when it occurs to give the fact that it happens.  In addition, access would be through the network connection so let's do a test.  Remove the connection from the system (I mean disconnect the cable or ethernet connection or remove the wireless card or go to network connections and sharing and disable every single network, you will find (don'tdelete - just disable their) or better yet, just remove the connection of the moden provided by the ISP, so there is NO WAY) a connection could get through.  Then see if clicks continues.  If so, it has antyhing to come with your internet connection or a pirate in your accounts. If it does not go far, it is possible that some network devices is originally of the problem (or that you are currently connected to a web site that generates the rattling noise, but I seriously doubt that this is a sign that everybody won that kind of access to your system (even if it could be malware as I mentioned earlier).

  I honestly have no clue what inside the computer could cause this noise that often and that constantly. It is not a problem of software for me.  I still think you should try the suggestions I made in my previous post (especially the search for malware and do a clean boot).

  If you this concerned and you have tried everything that has been recommended, I stick a reputable computer repair shop and ask them to check it out. If it occurs when they use the computer, they should be able to find the source even if they remove all to do.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Control Panel shows that 4 GB of RAM, but product specs say I should have 8GB

  My HP Pavilion Elite HPE-250f desktop computer is supposed to get 8 GB of the RAM factory installed, but the control panel shows only 4 GB. When I run the diagnostic with the Support Assistant software it says that everything is working well, but also shows that 4 GB of RAM. I've had the computer for several months and the warranty just expired. In the past, I noticed it says 4 GB and thought that I should have bought a computer with only 4 GB, but it has always seemed strange to me. I looked towards the top of the record online and it says the HPE-250f has of 8 GB, and it also says 8 GB on the box in which it came. I didn't do any changes to the computer and never open the Cabinet. I hesitate to open the cupboard, but do not feel I should have to pay a lot of money to understand this.

  It took me a few tries - and months of frustration - but I solved the problem by carefully removing the memory cards, clean gently slots and cards and firmly the resettlement of the cards. It's been several months now, but the memory has been resolved. I had serious problems, as it is stated in this thread, with a catastrophic failure of the graphics card and HARD disk failure. I read on several posts that this particular graphics card was problematic, so I've upgraded to a Radeon HD 7700 series. I got the Core edition, which has 2 GB of memory defect to 1 GB. No problem since.

  In case of hard drive failure, it was a disaster! I replaced the HARD drive of 1 TB with a 512 GB SSD, but it kept the infection by a rootkit that I couldn't clean up. I tried cleaners virus and rootkit of several software companies with no joy. Not even the first products like Kaspersky, McAfee, Sophos, BitDefender and other companies. I reformatted the drive several times, but the hook came back in return. Finally, I brought the computer to a friend who is a computer SCIENCE professional. The rootkit probably lies in the commercial cloning software (Acronis True Image HD) that came with the SSD, it said. We loaded the operating system without using Acronis and have not had any problems since! I've also installed a WD Blue 1 TB HDD and rebuilt directories so that all libraries (Documents, photos, videos, etc.) are on the disk hard while the system is installed on the solid state drive. The upgrades were worth every penny! Now, my desktop HP 5 years computer works very well and the performance is very good even by today's standards. Boot times are much faster, too.

• Several processes that are running on the standard user account because it runs slow and internet does not "."

  Create a user profile for children on PC 32-bit W7 with MS Family Safety.

  Recently they have complained he "runs slow and internet does not work.

  After playing for a little, I realized a ton of processes were running in the background. I couldn't run msconfig to their profile (not administrator) and after some research, I even if the profile has been corrupted.

  I created a new profile, but now the same thing is happening a few days later.

  See below; multiple copies of the same process are running. This happens within 2 m after the log-in and I only started one program.

  I started in safe mode with network and ran Windows defender, Spybot S & D and my virus scanner (all full scans) and turned up nothing malicious.  A few cookies tracking in the web cache, but nothing out of the ordinary.  I searched for the files wlaacmgr.exe and dplaysvr.exe (b/c they do not appear running in my admin profile) but they were found only in windows OS directories.  I understand that they are files of W7 but some maleware recreates.

  Many of them are the same files taking up process on the old profile that I deleted.

  Any help or suggestion as to why I have multiple copies of large processes running on the machine?  As I wrote it, I sign in, seems to be fine for one but 2 minutes a lot of process appear repeatedly and slows down the computer to a crawl.

  These two files listed are not at all on my admin profile and the machine works fine in my admin profile.  Even with open Photoshop, the CPU is only about 50% under my profile.

  Try to check/change the entries in startup with Autoruns from Sysinternals, which should work on the limited account to see its startup items.

• Vista system does not see the files that are on a CD of HP, Intuit and others

  CD allows you to install different products does not work on my Vista Ultimate system when the CD has been made by the manufacturer to support Windows and Mac OS.  These CD work in an XP system and a Windows 7 system. I have two optical drives on the Vista system (two allow DVD writing) and installation CD fail the same way in the two discs.

  If I share a CD drive on the Windows 7 or XP System I and then place the CD in the drive, I can see all the files on the Vista system.  Another CD that do not also for Mac OS work well in all my systems. So far, a single CD of Intuit and two HP is failing.

  I made several complete scans of my system searching for virus using two tools each of Norton and Microsoft and can't find anything.

  When I said above fail, I wanted to say that Windows Explorer displays an incomplete list of files on the CD. To be more precise, the list displayed on the Windows vista system does not include autorun.inf or setup.exe. There are also listed things that should not be registered on a Windows install CD. VolumeIcon.icns and background for example. Basically, it seemed something to tell readers that they are on a Mac system.

  Earlier today, I solved this problem. It seems that someone (probably me or my son) XPlay 3 was installed on the system. For some reason, this included a copy of MacDrive. I think that MacDrive caused the problem by making the part Apple Mac of the CD to be the only part that was visible to my system. I uninstalled XPlay 3 and everything works fine now.

• How to recover missing files that are still on the hard drive. iTunes and VLC Player can still read the files.

  I had a restore of the system without success and now all my files (music, photos, documents, PDF files, vids, etc) are missing.  My itunes still recognizes the path to music and can play everything.  Same thing with VLC player and photos.   For example, if I go in VLC player and watch my playlist, I see that info a video is C:\Users\kevarendt\Desktop\Vids\... and the player will play the video.  However, I can't file my own.  He is no longer on my desk, where he was saved, but the path always displays it's there.  My drive is still in his usual capacity, so none of my files have been deleted.  I can't even to my user account.  All I see is a Public folder in C:\Users\.  What happened to my user account?  All the paths to my files have nothing to show, but it's still there but invisible.  How can I access it.  I use Vista Home Premium.

  Hello

  I suggest you to check that the same in safe mode if you work, try to perform the clean boot

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  If not work then suggest to activate the hidden files and folders and then check if it works very well.

• When I put an email address I get a message saying that it is not a correct email address and will send it not. How can I fix it?

  This happens if I put the address of e-mail in hand or copy it. It happened yesterday and today, and sometimes in the past. I put the email in my address book to see if this will help, and it doesn't. It's on my Gmail account. If I go to my Comcast email, I have no problem.

• Im trying to download something off the internet and it says that the download link can not be created and will not let me download.

  Whenever I try to download this thing from a Web page I know is safe, he said that the link cannot be created. How can I do so im allowed to download?

  What web browser do you use? Have you tried to use an alternative web browser? If more than one web browser is saying it is not safe or cannot be verified, then its probably not.

  Mind to reveal what you are trying to download? Help us to better understand the problem.

  You can try to temporarily disable your Antivirus and Windows Firewall and try the download again. (Do this at your own risk).

• Words are highlightted, when they are affected, goes to ads, then windows and will prompt you to enter.

  I can go to different websites and see words randomly high lighted in blue. If you go on one of these words, a small vehicle pop up ad, then is redirected to a larger window saying your security requires upgrading, and he wants you to click OK. I have to get out of several windows to return to the page I wanted. We have updated Firefox, removed then reinstalled Firefox, extra added, anti-spam, spyware protection ware poorly thought we had excellent protection thanks to regular updates, advice from Kim Komando and Norton told us good. Did not the chrome browser... yet. Ago thanks for any help on this!

  AHA! In recent days, I learned more on this computer...
  Kim Komando has proposed a program called "should I remove it? I checked on it, and the program has revealed a high risk called pasta quotes program that inserts ads into various web sites and uses words lite tops redirect you elsewhere. I used that I should remove it and uninstalled pastaquotes.
  So far, it seems that the problem is solved. Thank you all for your support!
