• How can I tell if there's malware on my laptop?

  Last night when I was on YouTube my mouse began to move sporadically on its own all of a sudden (I use the tracking key), there is no way than I imagined because he moved to great distances and has been also mirroring the effects of the use of the fingers swipe on several pages. Quickly, I turned off my laptop and turned on computer this morning and it did the same thing. The scariest part is that he only stopped once, I googled the phrase: "How do I know if a person is mirroring your laptop. I already deleted my browsing history, cache and download history (I just ticked all the boxes and set it to the "beginning of time"), but I'm still scared. Should I go to the apple store or is there some way to check for myself? Thank you for your help.

  Download and run MalwareBytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our colleagues here to ASC. He received rave reviews and is on the more proven anti-malware for Mac software.  is used by the geniuses of Apple at the Apple Store Genius Bars and Apple phone support agents.

• Commercial Malware infection: it would be better to reformat my hard drive and start over?

  I've been infected with MegaBackup and a kind of scan virus, (IRONIC!).  Windows popping up constantly and I can't figure how to get rid of them.  Would it not be better to reformat my drive, then restore from my backup?  But how I restore without malware? If I need to copy everything manually?

  Thanks for your help.

  Lee

  It's just a garbage software. There is no need to go as far as the wiping of the disc.

  To uninstall MegaBackup on Mac:

  1. Quit the program.
  2. Open your Applications folder.
  3. Find the MegaBackup icon and drag it to the trash.
  4. For security reasons, you will be asked to enter your Mac user password.
  5. Empty the trash to completely remove MegaBackup.

  Open system preferences. Click users and groups. Choose your account name to the left and then the right login items. Highlight any entrance to do with MegaBackup or MacDefender in the list and click the button "-" to remove it.

  Who should take care of MegaBackup itself, if you have also installed adware with it. To remove adware, you can use the free automatic tool, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac.

• Malware infection? WinPatrol nortice of the program change - regedit.exe %1 - involved virus Registry Editor?

  I use Winpatrol as one of my security features. Lately he has been asking me if the following program changes are acceptable:

  (1) "Winpatrol has detected a change to one of your file type associations. REG

  The program currently associated with this type of file is:

  Notebook
  MIcrosoft Corporation
  Notepad.exe %1
  A change was made to use the following program for this file type:
  The registry editor
  Microsoft Corporation
  RegEditor.exe %1.

  (2) "Winpatrol has detected a change to one of your file type associations. SCR
  The program currently associated with this type of file is:

  Notebook
  MIcrosoft Corporation
  Notepad.exe %1
  A change was made to use the following program for this file type:
  The registry editor
  Name
  Name of the company
  % 1/s.

  Recently, my computer has been infected by a variety of viruses and spyware despite my ZoneAlarm and Malwarebyes loaded. I ran several other antivirus and anti-spyware programs and, possibly, these programs don't reported no malware or spyware was present.

  I wonder if the above changes are made by a virus who missed the antivirus programs I have used.

  I would appreciate any comments, advice or information on the changes above the Microsoft community since Microsoft software is involved in the changes requested. I really appreciated any help that can be given and thank you in advance for it.

  Many anti-malware programs make changes to this file association as a way to protect yourself.

  Types of files. SCR and. REG were often abused and used to encourage users to run what has proved to be malicious.   Programs change your default Notepad program to protect you.

  You will notice that most browsers will run is more .reg files.  Instead they will display the text of the script if it is legitimate.  For a long time Outlook has not allowed to download. SCR files.

  WilPatrol will warn you of this change and allow you to change it if you want, but what ever malware program performs this change will continue to try to change it to Notepad.

  I usually recommend either using the Filetypes Lockdown feature in WinPatrol or just say WinPatrol does not monitor. SCR and. REG and let your other security program all supported.

  Hello

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft security on your computer Scanner and check if it helps:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

   

  Method 2:

  You try to install Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer and check if it helps. It is an anti-malware solution for new, free consumption by your computer. It helps protect against software viruses, spyware and other malware. It is available as a free download for Windows XP SP2 and higher, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  Thank you very much for your help.

  It has infector of very bad polymorphic file that probably does that.  People with that see many security forums.  It is capable of infecting executable files (.exe) machine and the screen saver (.scr) files. However, the problem is that the virus has a number of bugs in the code, and therefore, it can misinfect a part of the file executable files and as a result, the files are damaged irretrievably. From now on, security experts suggest that the best way to solve this problem is the format and clean install or destructive recovery if you have a recovery partition OEM as the best way to clean out the infection and it's way better and safer to return the machine to its normal operating state.
  I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but that's what we have been dealing with lately.

  You can disable the caps. No need to yell. You try to share a printer on a network. It must be established as a shared resource on the computer where the printer is connected. Can you share files between the desktop and the laptop on the network?

  Did you all put here to share the printer between two computers?

• Anti-virus 2008 / 2009 malware infection...

  It seems that there was more in addition to the infection spreading on the internet.  Then. without further ADO, here are some steps to help prevent the worst.

  If you see the software on your system... warning you of all these "infections" and "registry errors '... IGNORE IT!

  1. do not install the software... in fact, do not click on anything in windows... closing the application is very well, but it just goes to show again.

  2. NEVER put in your credit card information in a program that has been installed on the system.  If you go buy a software, buy it at the store... a valid and respected website, or call the service.

  3. go on the internet... go to Google.  Looking for a program called MalwareBytes.  Download (it is only 2.9 MB in size), install, update and run the quick scan option.  Follow the prompts on the screen to remove the boxes all the selected (in red).

  4. restart the system.

  Don't panic if you have chosen to install the software... the above steps are still a viable option.  However, if you purchased the program, get in touch with your credit card of the Bank and block the card immediately.

  I don't mean to cause a panic here... but this program is causing many problems... better to help inform the community as possible.

  Download SuperAntiSpyware from superantispyware.com

  Download MalwareAntiBytes as well.

  They are both free. Run each one separately and then restart after removing infections.

  Hello:

  You must download and install the driver from chipset AMD from the link below.  The first file listed.

  http://support.AMD.com/en-us/download/chipset?OS=Windows 7-64

  Now, your specific model, USB drivers cannot install by running the file, so you'll have to do a bit of work.

  Read this thread below and try my steps first and if they do not work, try method posted by NAP_CHL_IT.

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/driver-for-HP-M6-k010dx-for-ACPI-HPQ6007-on-Windows-7/m-p/2891907#M145254

  Another thing that I was informed yesterday by another Member of the forum.

  It is not which of the two manual steps he used in the thread I posted, but he said that the drivers installed until after you restart and repeat the process a second time on its model (a different than yours).

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: help! HP Pavilion laptop charger works not properly.

  Hey!

  My laptop charger is malfunctioning. We all know that if a device is unplugged and use it permanently, it will possibly miss fees.  If the problem is when my charger is plugged in, it do not charge the cell phone or laptop to run out of charge instead it neutralizes the battery and allows him the same percentage it is (46% will remain as 46%).  I just realized this problem last month, but I don't know what is the real problem. If this is the problem of the charger, it wouldn't charge or neutralize my battery at all. It is more likely that the port of loading is the problem but at the moment, we don't know.  What can I do?

  Also note that load capacity: 89%. This means that your battery is exhausted. This is the max your battery can take care of.

  It is an indication of some possibilities. I would try #1 first, then #2.

  (1) a problem with the AC adapter. It's probably not that the question if you are able to remove the battery, connect the power adapter and start-up in Windows.

  (2) in the battery method control compatible ACPI Microsoft operating system device drivers could be damaged.  See the image below.

  

  Call the Device Manager.

  Uninstall the driver from the power adapter plugged. Ignore the warning.

  After it is uninstalled, right click on any device and select search the hardware changes.

  The operating system must install a new copy of the device compatible Microsoft ACPI control method battery driver.

  (3) failure of the circuit electrical distribution\charging on the motherboard

  If it does not help it is time to use the warranty. The battery, adapter and motherboard are replaceable without cost to you, as long as the warranty is still in effect.
