• Removed Artemis and false virus alerts, now no rundll32.exe

  I use Windows XP Home edition. For the past 2 days, I was receiving false alerts "XP Security Services" that my computer has been attacked. I used Stinger from McAfee and removed the fake alert virus and the virus of Artemis. However, now I have no rundll32.exe. I can't access MS Office, paint, and it does not recognize my CD/DVD drive. I don't have a Windows XP disk, the PC was already installed with it when I bought it. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't have a Windows XP disk, the PC was already installed with it when I bought it. Any help would be appreciated.

  Follow the instructions below.

  Click on the link below. Download the rundll32 file (uploaded by me if it's safer). Save the file to your desktop. Right-click on the file and choose copy. Now click on start > run > paste the following command. c:\Windows\System32 > Ok. When the folder opens, you see a message that these files are hidden. In the left pane, click on the link to view the contents of this folder, as shown in the image on the second link below. Once the content is visible, right-click in the free space in the system32 folder and choose Paste. If you are prompted to replace an existing file, click Yes. Close all windows.

  Click on start > run > type cmd > Ok. On the command line, right click and paste the following code exefile = assoc.exe > press ENTER. Close command prompt. Now try to open any executable file (a game or any application). Be advised, the file download will expire after 3 days. This is the result of the use of the free version of filemail.com.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

• How can I check my Mac mini for spyware and other viruses

  How can I check my Mac mini for software spyware and other forms of virus? Recently, I received an electronic invoice which seems to come from Apple on a purchase that I did not. Unfortunately, I answered by clicking on a link that asked me to cancel or manage this purchase that led me to a site that didn't look like an official Apple site. I am afraid that simply by doing so, I welcomed the spyware on my Mac mini hard drive.

  My Mac was purchased in 2011 and runs on OS X El Capitan (version 10.11.6).

  Kind regards

  Politkovskaya

  Receive a fraudulent e-mail for a purchase confirmation, you did not is a very common scam. Remember that you are not misled by providing personal information solicited by this e-mail.

  Unfortunately, I answered by clicking on a link that asked me to cancel or manage this purchase that led me to a site that didn't look like an official Apple site. I am afraid that simply by doing so, I welcomed the spyware on my Mac mini hard drive.

  No harm will come of the fact that you wrote. Fraudulent Web sites that are made to appear as legitimate those who are specially designed to convince you to reveal personal information. If you don't have that, no further action is necessary or justified. Do not install anything, no matter the source or the apparent popularity, in response to one such scam. To do this would be the first step in a path well worn to the misery.

  On the other hand, if you were tricked into providing personal information (like your Apple ID and password) you will need to change your password on Apple ID. Please write back for instructions.

• Vista Antivirus a scam and a virus itself? I can't access my laptop at all now them! Help!

  I couldn't access internet because the Antivirus Vista kept blocking me.  He said I had all kinds of virus and you need to get rid of them.  He said that I could go on, but it would be dangerous for my laptop.  I didn't buy any agreement at the time so I pressed this button.  He took me in circles so that the only way that I could access my internet was for the purchase contract.  AND NOW I CAN NOT AT ALL ON MY LAPTOP!  I'm on my home desktop version.

  How can I get rid of this?  Is it really a virus in itself?  I lost all my information stored on my laptop?

  When I turn it on I hear a high-pitched noise and flickering icons that used I can access.  In fact, I can't access anything whatsoever.  It wouldn't start even down when I do CTRL ALT DELETE.  I actually turn off with the same results that I boot up (flickering of the icons that will let me open anything).

  Did I just buy a scam, but also a virus?  Is there a phone number or anyway for me to get my laptop back up for delete AND GET MY MONEY BACK?

  For those of you thinking of buying this, I wouldn't NOT SUGGEST.

  The more fast, effective and safe method for the cleaning of these infections is with a Linux based rescue CD. You will need to download an ISO, burn it to a CD, configure the system to boot from the firstCD/DVD drive and then boot the system with the CD so that the hard disk is not Active.
  If you choose to go this route, see - Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10
  The articles on this page will show you exactly what to do.

  Or, you could try to start the computer in Mode safe mode and see if the system restore can successfully restore the system to just before he became infected.
  If you are more comfortable as well, see - How to restore Windows XP to a previous state
  Choose a restore point created at least 2 days before the date that the system become compromised.
  (If the system cannot boot safe mode, see if it can be started in safe mode with command prompt )

  Hello-

  I have Iolo antivirus protection and last night helped to upgrade, and now my system won't allow to turn me on the firewall. Also the Iolo anti-virus was arrested as well. I had to use maleware bytes as protection against the virus, but I only installed the trial version. When I run the full scan it is no problem, and when I ran the scanner download from microsoft, we don't find any problem either. My computer still works, but it's just a matter of time before he died. This has happened before with my other computer and it ruined the drive. I'm running out of ideas on what to do next - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
