Please help malware

I really need someone to help me. When I click on what to using chrome, I get a big red screen and the message"

The advance site contains malware

Attackers now on p.adconfer.com can try to install dangerous programs on your Mac that fly or delete your information (for example, photos, passwords, messages, and credit cards).

"

I use malwarebytes to scan and it found nothing, and when checking the applications in the finder, there is nothing I don't know. I deleted all the data cache cookies history, I even deleted and reinstalled chrome, but that did not do it...

In addition, when you use safari from time to time security slides up and I get redirect to the same Chinese site, which is probably related to this whole mess. Can someone help me please?

Hello danielM12,

You will not be able to find advertising files using the Finder. I wrote a small program of diagnosis to help show a software that is installed and running in the background. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etrecheck.com, run it and paste the results here. EtreCheck is perfectly safe to run, don't request your password to install and is signed with my developer Apple ID.

However, EtreCheck is really directed toward Safari. It will report the Chrome extensions. Launch Chrome and choose 'Extensions' from the 'Window' menu Disable all of them and see if that fixes it. Your EtreCheck report may reveal additional adware.

WARNING: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

    Install, update and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficiency.
    (Not all programs to detect malware, you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)
    These programs are provided free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in "free" mode - but these are the features that you really need not to find and eliminate the problem you have.

    Note: If your malware infection is bad enough and you're poorly led to URLS other than what is displayed, you may need to use another PC to download these programs and use a USB stick for transfer to the afflicted PC.

    I'm NOT technologically savvy - can use e-mail, files, search the web, etc. Someone I know came to my computer, and it seems that he used my computer to view, download, etc. *, and I'm not really sure of what he does. It seems that they use it for most looking for women / *, sexually explicit sites. He has linked his old computer to mine and my printer, etc. I thought I had gotten my computer by following instructions in Windows 7 for my own account, password setting, etc. There "did the trick as" and changed the user accounts and that IT has administrative rights and now I don't have. He continues using another account it has set up and I knew that this could be done. He is aware that I am suspicious so now it seems it does certain things to limit my view of its history, etc. It is a big mess and to make it worse, I'm blind and my computer was given to me by min. State of rehabilitation of the blind and I feel horrible that I was so stupid as to allow that to happen. I know this might be a huge huge problem for me personally because of the unknown - what else has it 'taken' in what concerns my personal info goes, but I'm hoping to deal with this on my own and with YOUR help without broadcasting to anyone and have the audience to tell... ». There's a silly blind woman who should not have even a computer! "I read that law enforcement doesn't know really what to do to help, and by the way, mine is small potatoes compared to other threats, scams, etc. Please help me.

    First, change the following passwords:

    Shut your PC off when you are not using it.

    Using MSE?

    If yes do a full scan, if not scan with your current anti-malware and tracking provider with them for further assistance.

    In addition, your ISP may be able to assist.

  • Could someone please help me with a problem I'm having with my update s/ie window?

    I was trying to find a way to get help with my concern about internet/window update of. 99% of the time when I'm in train to get updated window or check the mails on yahoo and a few other sites, my page is immediately closed. I tried to delete the cookies and files and restarted and system restore and reset my IE as well. Nothing works, and I know that I need some updates (would be nice to be able to check my email yahoo also).

    This is what happens in detail:

    I type in the Web site window update and as soon as he gets it closes immediately. When I type in the website of yahoo and then click check mail it closes immediately. There were a few other sites, but these are the 2 most important for me. I have no error code and no warning, just boom that it is gone and everytime I try to bring everything back up, it closes. I did everything I could and I am at a loss.

    Could someone please help me if I can get things and finally be happy and not so stressed. This happened for some time now. I tried to contact technical support, but I can't ever get a straight when clicking we answer contact as normal websites don't. So I try here.

    Please help me solve this problem... also I "think" I have IE 8? could be 7, but I think that 8. I can't because it messes up my computer.

    Thanks, I look forward to talk to someone soon then.

    Mr President.

    I noticed that my computer slowed considerably since Feb 2012 programs / answer games too long / often do not respond.

    I use Win XP Home SP3, has 512 MB of RAM, shows the downloaded programs ran normally, again, earlier today tried a very small game with no 3D, he answered / ran 10 times slower than that previously, I do not use 3D.

    Windows and MSE is updated every third and fourth day (even if it has auto), can't say what update made it slow. Computer starts and stops normally. IE8 is never in good time, even tried Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, not better, all 5-10 minutes have clear cache and temp internet files. If they are not cleared, download never happens.

  • Please help me. My task manager disappeared, also run the command

    I have automatic updated my computer this morning. After the update, I had to reboot my computer. After the reboot, my task manager disappeared, I received a message that it is disabled by the administrator. The thing is, I am the administrator. I tried to bring it using command run, but he went too. I tried the command run in the properties of the start menu, impossible to find. How can I bring back?

    Another thing, all my word files are now listed as files Visual Basic EDITOR. I guess it's because of virus. I turned off to avoid any automated scripts from script virus running, but then I can't open any word file, so I still allowed him. I can open word file after that, but they are still reported VBEfile. What is VBEfile anyway?

    Another problem, the automated system recovery tab is also missing from my computer properties after the update.

    Please help me, I'm desperate here.

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
    The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
    The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
    The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Open Notepad to create a new text file:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    notebook

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Copy and paste the following lines in bold text in the new Notepad file.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableRegistryTools" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
    "DisableCMD" = -.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
    "DisableCAD" = DWORD: 00000000
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
    "DisableConfig" = -.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
    "DisableSR" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoRun" = -.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoRun" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoClose" = -.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoClose" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoSetTaskbar" = -.

    Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

    enableit.reg

    After you save the file, close Notepad.

    Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

    Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    Reboot your system and test.

    You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

    If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

    Because now you have or have had a malware infection, I would follow with this:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Ask the help of the web page for your first question.

    For the second, you are infected/infested and need to clean up.  What AntiVirus you are using has not been able or has not updated or you had an interruption in service.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    It comes to the use of the partition Recovery of Acer to restore factory settings.

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    Note: During the process, all data stored on your computer will be overwritten. This means that all of your files, such as e-mail and photos, will be deleted. Therefore, we recommend making a backup of all data before starting the recovery process.

    To start the system recovery:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
    3. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
    4. After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.
    5. Read the review and then click Next when you are ready.
    6. Click Next to start the restore process. It may take 10 minutes up to an hour fom anywhere to restore.
    7. Once the restore is complete, your computer will restart. After the reboot it will load Windows and start the installation of your software and drivers. Your computer will restart several times during this process. Once they are all completed, your computer will be like it was when you bought it first.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens or the recovery Partition is damaged, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
