Notepad opens at random, does not appear in the Vista virus research

Hi jellybean.

MSCONFIG will help only if the problem only occurs at startup - not if it occurs randomly during the day (unless a malicious software program is installed in the startup programs, but then it is a malware problem and not really a problem of program).

It doesn't sound like you are infected, and before you try all of the other fixes, we should exclude.  I guess you have run a full scan with any security software you use and he come clean - but only one program is not enough and the best is to try several and eventually obtain the assistance of an expert or the confirmation (or work around the personal effort and request the assistance of experts from the beginning).  Please proceed as follows:

First, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx. This may or may not remove the infections, but will probably not correct the damage caused by them. Even if they or your current AV software seem to work or indicate that you are not infected, you should not completely trust in them and must continue with the recommendations that follow (so it's up to you if you want to try them first, or just ignore all this and get help from an expert you really need as described below).

Correctly and completely remove these infections can be complex and often require manual removal procedures (which may or may not be entirely effective either). Even if they work, I suggest what follows in any case, so that we can start it (you can ignore the methods above if you want it really is the way forward, but it won't hurt to them for trying).

Please follow these recommendations of JimR1 - MVP compliments:

You are running Microsoft Security Essentials?

If Yes: start here - https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/ and select the link that says - I think my computer is infected - and support and select the option for phone, chat or email (options vary depending on the region)

If you are or not, if you are in North America, you can call 866-727-2338 for a free Microsoft Help for infections of virus and spyware.

SE not in North America:

You can start here: https://consumersecuritysupport.Microsoft.com/ or here: http://support.Microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_virsec_master?WS=support#TAB0 for the help and support for malware infections.

If this does not work, or that they can't help, try one of the compliments of forums-remove malware following PA Bear - MVP:

I can recommend the assistance of experts available in these forums: http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php?Board=10.0 http://www.spywarewarrior.com/viewforum.php?f=5 http://www.dslreports.com/Forum/Cleanup http://www.Bluetack.co.uk/forums/index.php and http://Aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30

I hope this helps.  Otherwise, so unless your system is clean of malware, and we can focus on the problem if it still exists (and clean malware, if that's the cause may well solve the problem).

Good luck!

  • SD-R2312 device does not appear in the hardware Manager

    I have several problems with my Toshiba SD-R2312 Windows XP. Cannot open CD, device does not appear in the hardware Manager, drive is not displayed anywhere.

    First time it happened, I was able to reactivate it as described here.
    http://www.TechSpot.com/VB/all/Windows/t-28912-desperation-Toshiba-DVDROM-malfunction-possible-missing-driver.html

    After working for a few weeks, the drive is 'gone' once again, same symptoms as the first time.
    Try the registry fix again, I found that there are still "UpperFilters" (which I've deleted again), but not Lowerfilters.
    However, which did not help this time.

    I have no "unknown" devices that I could delete (see http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=6548&messageID=22638).

    Does anyone have an idea how to get the drive working again? Is there a way to prevent that from happening again?

    Thanks in advance.

    If the drive is not displayed in Windows Explorer, perhaps this method can help. Try it!

  • When I click to open thunderbird but the e-mail window does not appear until the icon shows the app closed, how to fix this?

    To start thunderbird, I click on the quick start on my toolbar icon, it highlights that if beginner, then a few seconds later, returns to the closed state. No e-mail window never appears on the screen. When I check the Task Manager, thunderbird does not appear in the list of running applications, but one or two processes show running on the Details tab (one first process by clicking on the icon, and then another if I right click and try to open one of the windows in option). I am running Windows 8.1. It worked well earlier in the day, so I have no idea what happened past. Restart the PC does not help the issue. How can I get the windows thunderbird appears on the screen again? If I can't, please send the instructions to backup all the associated email and address profile information so I did not lose anything... then uninstall and reinstall thunderbird and restore all the info related to my current profile. Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply... still not sure what happened, but I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling bird t. Everything is back to normal after that. So your solution can work, but I don't have the chance to try it. My solution, but is not ideal, was effective and the problem was solved.

  • With the help of Firefox 4.0 Beta 4. When I open a link in a new window, the web address does not appear in the address bar. Why?

    When I opened a web page link in "a new window" opens the link, but the information of the web page does not appear in the address bar. It is empty. If I open the link in a new tab, ho problem exists.

    In addition, if one open a link in the tab without a location in a new tab in the same window and then go to the original tab, the address bar fills up with the web address.

    Made it from several places, so it not dependent on location.

    That behavior is likely to be the top caused by an add-on, and in your case the probable guilty is IE Tab 2, the different versions of IE Tab caused problems with Firefox 4 beta, including issues with the location bar not updated.

    You can test to see if IE Tab 2 is causing your problem by disabling the it and then see if the address in a new window bar displays the address. If it isn't this add-on causing the problem, see Troubleshooting extensions and themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems.

    FYI, the IE Tab Plus add-on has been updated recently to improve compatibility with Firefox 4 beta, you can try this one instead. The latest version is available from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html

I don't know how windows take to put inside of the frequent. With waiting for that appears automatically, is there a way we can pin an item that does not appear in the jump list frequent list?

    The answer depends on what type of element you want to pin.  The only type of element you mentioned being a folder, you can easily do what you're wondering now and does not need to wait for a later version.

    In the 8 Windows desktop, when you drag an executable file (or shortcut) on the taskbar, a message appears that says "PIN to the taskbar.

    If you drag a document file (or a shortcut), the message will say "pine [associated application]"-in other words, "[name of the default browser] pine" for a html, "Pin to Notepad" file to a txt file, etc..

    For a folder, File Explorer is the associated application.  Therefore, if you open a file Explorer window, look for the desired folder and drag it to the taskbar, the message that appears is "PIN to the file Explorer."  Just click on it, and it will appear in the jumplist FE, above the frequent places, in a separate section called "Pinned".  You can drag things and down from there to order at your leisure.

    (The Control Panel, even if it is displayed in FE as 'File system', only let you pin on the desktop, for not not FE jumplist.)  There may be other special cases like this; I don't know, but it works usually as I've described, including for other system folders.)

    Just to be clear, I am a new user of Windows 8, far from being an expert.  I only know how it works because I heard today by trial and error.  So there may be more to what I can't help with.

  • hyperlink Google SOLVED calendar: create a new calendar [a Lightning does not appear in the Options]

    I downloaded TB 38, which incorporated the lightning. I want to connect Google Calendar, but say instructions select Lightning tab in Options and then file, add the new calendar. Lightning does not appear in the Options window. I have restarted Thunderbird since upgrading several times, but still no option of lightning.

    You do not connect a calendar in Google Calendar. You create a new calendar. In doing so, you select the option "on the network" and then follow the advice given by Matt to enter the address of your Google Calendar.

    At first glance it seemed to be disappointing and awkward. I had a lot of things implemented in the 'House' calendar, and given that it was not in the new calendar connected to the network, none of my existing stuff would be automatically shared.

    At the time, I started to use it, there is no obvious way to move items from one calendar to the other. One method would be to export an event to an ics file and then import it into the new calendar. I think now that if you open an event for editing, you have an option to select the schedule to record it again to.

    I don't know if the address given by Matt still works. See this: https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/

    You can use Google provider if you need and then the address you use will be one such as described by Matt, but the entry point is always file | New | Calendar. Forget the Tools | Options of.

  • Satellite S50-B-12Z: battery life cycle Option does not appear in the eco utility

    Hello everyone.

    I am facing a strange problem. The eco utility allows to work ok with win 10 on my S50-B-12Z satellite and I used the eco charging battery I've run mainly my laptop plugged in.

    At some point, I need to do a system restore. I have re-installed the 10 victory and also the latest version of the eco utility downloaded from the Toshiba site. The problem is that when I open the utility eco, the choice of "battery life cycle", where you can select the eco reload or not, seems no more! So I find myself with the battery to 80% connected but does not support.

    I already tried to uninstall and reinstall the utility or install an earlier version of it.

    Is there something I could do in order the choice of "battery life cycle" to reappear or to cancel the State of charge of eco and leave my battery to charge again 100%?

    Thank you

    I have the same problem with my P50 - A satellite. Battery-life cycle does not appear in the new eco Win 10 utility installed. Version is: 3.0.0.0006. Older versions do not work, I tried also.

    More than 80% of maximum load, not 100% .

    I hope someone has a suggestion. To 80% battery life is too short

Could not find anything with Yahoo in the name. I don't want to use the view, as he returns to the display without my consent - I want not gone permanently.
