Portege R700 - Malware with software pre-installed?

I recently bought a Portege R700 - very well designed and built with an excellent specification. All is let down by the obnoxious behavior of collusion with Microsoft to send malicious software in the software loaded from Toshiba. It is absolutely inexcusable and unacceptable to load software that removes several times my IE8 homepage settings to replace it with MSN and the bling search engine. I hope I've stalked finally how to remove this MALWARE by editing the registry and delete the entries of thugs.

(Especially from Toshiba) anyone know how I can ensure it is permanently deleted?

Can someone give me a good reason why I should not report this behavior for the Commissioners of the European Union for violation of the antitrust settlement with Microsoft?

I am completely disgusted.

Hello

To be honest, I never heard malware with software/OS preinstalled Toshiba or Microsoft.
I m sure all software that will run are tested for the virus, malware, etc. so I put t think you have malicious software installed on your computer.

I also use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba on my two laptops and all the settings, I've defined in IE8 or other programs have never changed.

I recommend to install an antivirus program before going online.

  • Satellite Pro P100 Question on software pre-installed

    I bought a Toshiba laptop in July and although I am very happy with the machine.

    I'm very upset that he came with very little software that I expected at least MS works or similar for a professional laptop, but there is nothing (no spreadsheet, text or data processing)

    After spending more than £1,000. I'm a little annoyed - don't know if it's a world of Toshiba or PC Business (people, I bought it from) error.

    One of my colleagues bought a laptop the week £600 last and which have very many useful software pre-installation.

    Hello

    You talk about the Satellite Pro P100 PSPA4E series?

    If you really this machine then I put t agree with you!
    To my knowledge of many tools and utilities and additional programs have been installed on this laptop.
    Maybe a small list?
    Here you are:
    -Office OneNote2003
    -TOSHIBA utilities
    -WinDVD
    -Platinum WinDVD Creator2
    -Sonic DLA
    -Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2006
    -PC Diagnostic tool
    -Etc.

    Please note that the software package Microsoft Office OneNote offers several useful simple programs!

    May I ask why you compare one satellite Pro P100 with other laptops who don t support the same processor, the graphics card performance and additional features?

    From my personal experience of many manufacturers of laptop while customers with software pre-installed because that the performance of the laptop or simple parts (graphics card, HARD drive, memory IE) are not approximately the same mostly.

    Last but not least; I put t really understand why you're a little annoyed.
    Why you didn t check the laptop and the description?

  • Cannot find "automatic detection" to reinstall the software pre-installed on my desktop after installing win7

    I did a full install of win7 from vista on my hp Pavilion a6250z desktop which has deleted my preinstalled software that came with the computer.  They told me to go to hp and run detection system to reinstall the software, but after a lot of research were not able to find auto-detection. Any ideas on where should I look for?  Thank you!

    What we call "automatic detection" can be found HERE. The only thing he finds some drivers and install some software updates for your original Vista. HP no longer provides the software pre-installed on their Web site.

    My experience is that if you have created your HP recovery disks when you got the computer or just before you did a clean install of Windows 7, you should be able to find most of the original software on the discs. Insert the HP recovery disc in the DVD drive and navigate to the folder "HP". In this folder should be a file 'Drvr' and a file 'Apps '. You should be able to find the software preinstalled in the "Apps" folder Note that some programs may not work correctly because they were not designed to be used with Windows 7.

  • How to install the software pre-installed on dm1-4118au?

    I have a pavilion dm1-4118au that comes with windows 7starter kit. I upgraded the memory to 4 GB and installed windows 7 ultimate. How can I install the software pre-installed?

    (1) more simple to get this working is machine to recover from drive D by pressing f11 when the computer starts.

    (2) install OS using the media created by you (incase you have created the media before formatting the computer or OS currputs). Start with 1 disc, and follow the steps to install the operating system.

    If you have already formatted the computer and there is no D drive or drives more.

    (3) order support from HP HP recovery and install the OS using these disks. Here's the link.

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c00810334

    Please be informed that recovery is going to re install the operating system, drivers, and applications. in this process, you lose all the data on your computer, please take care of the data before you start the recovery process.

  • Re: Satellite C870 - Questions about Toshiba software pre-installed

    Hello..

    Instant Messaging user a new SATELLITE C870-1JV
    Or seen a review on an American site saying that all software pre-installed Toshiba slowing down the operating system.
    The site has recommended that a windows clean install to remove all...

    Everyone does this, or would you recommend?

    Anyone like the software installed and recommend keep it?

    Thank you!!

    > Someone has he done this, or would you recommend?
    You always want to use the advanced features like function keys laptop?
    If so, don t remove the feature key Toshiba software that controls the keys.

    You always want to be informed of updates to the driver through Toshiba Tempro or Toshiba Service Station?
    Then don t delete these software

    But as far as I know there are also other additional software installed on the laptop.
    For example: TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA Eco Utility, TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor, etc.
    All of these tools provide additional functionality, it s your decision whether or not you want to use.

  • I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

    I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

    If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

    If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    Does anyone have a better solution?

    Thanks for your help!

    Restore your backup. If you do not save him, then you're probably out of luck.

    BTW, MS Office for Mac is a Microsoft product, not an Apple product. I would say dealing with MS on your question if you do not have media, key product or any other form of proof of purchase.

    You should always have a solid backup plan, you should also document what that product keys. Finally if you have a system where third parties applications come on Dungeon of media (e.g. DVD) media.

    BTW, there are ZERO viruses for OS X! It is a very small amount of other types of malware but it's extremely easy to avoid:

  • Re: Want to get rid of Toshiba software pre-installed on the Satellite L650-165

    Hello

    I just bought my Satellite Pro L650-165 and there are a number of software programs that come pre-installed with it.
    Such as Toshiba Tempro, Eco fashion, Technology Council etc etc.

    In view of the fact that I'm going to use this for my University I run many intensive programs of ram above.
    So, I want to free all the ram, I can by uninstalling all these utlities.
    I know what you think... Yes just because they are installed does not mean that they are running. But is it safe?

    I know it takes but still ask. I just want to stay with windows7 plain ol' less all software 'cool '. precautions?

    Oh and even though I created the recovery discs using the utility built into the to do... I thought ordering a Toshiba too. where to go for this?

    > If I want to free all the ram, I can by uninstalling all these utlities.
    I know what you think... Yes just because they are installed does not mean that they are running. But is it safe?

    Although these tools are installed, this does not mean that they would be running in the background and lose some of the RAM.
    I wouldn't recommend uninstall these tools but to turn it off auto-start.
    How to do this? ESay
    You can do it in msconfig.

    Run msconfig and go to the Startup tab.
    There you can uncheck just tools that you n t need initially.
    Save the changes and restart the device.
    If you need one of the tools again in the Startup tab, then you could do it

    Notes; Disabling in msconfig process does not mean that you couldn't manually start these tools
    Disable tools (process) in msconfig means ONLY that these tools would not launch automatically when windows starts.

  • Reformatting laptop computer with Windows pre-installed 8

    Hi all!

    Recently I bought Lenovo Y500 with pre-installed Windows 8. I've never used Windows before 8 and this is my first time ever affected by it. I understand that Microsoft no longer use the activation key of conventional product with Windows 8 pre installed devices. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the activation key is now encrypted and incorporated in the BIOS itself. I also understand that there is a feature of system recovery and even a Clean-Install feature in Windows 8 and Windows 8 would automatically read the activation key in the BIOS while being reinstalled.
    I have read all those who want to reinstall Windows 8 and that the clean install would often suggested, but what happens if I want to reformat the laptop in all, completely destroy everything, delete existing partitions and reinstall Windows 8 after that? From a technical point of view, reformatting and repartitioning shouldn't affect the BIOS, and so I guess that if I had to reinstall Windows 8 after reformatting and repartitioning, installing Windows 8 should read the key of Activation of the BIOS always automatically and activate at the first internet connection. Or am I wrong?
    On a side note, when I bought my laptop, it did not come with the disk Installation of Windows 8, so if I had to reformat and reinstall, where I'd get the file of Installation of Windows 8? Am I supposed to download from the Microsoft Web page (if there is even a link to download it) and burn the image to a blank disc and use it to install?
    Best regards & thanks!

  • How to download the software pre-installed?

    You can download and reinstall the software already installed on Toshiba laptops.

    I've upgraded to a SSD drive which was smaller than the original hard drive so I had to perform a clean installation and therefore could not keep my other software such as Win DVD, which is essentially what I'm trying to recover.

    I have a recovery disc but am afraid if I use it could cause problems and that the new SSD drive works like a dream, I don't want to chance it.

    The 3 rd party software can be downloaded on the Web from Toshiba site due to copyright restrictions.
    You can download only the Toshiba Software, drivers and tools.

    If you want to use the 3 rd party software, which is part of the image of Toshiba, you must recover the laptop using Toshiba recovery disc.
