Possible hacker infect my system?

original title: KB963093

Maybe I was attacked by an intruder?   After receiving emails from Hilton and Marriott that my email address was stolen in Epsilon, suddenly I am asked to install this old security patch, that concerns me, because it is 2009.

Any ideas on what could happen? I have not installed, but it keeps asking to be installed.

Even if I go to Windows update directly it comes up with this security update to do.

It is a legitimate windows update there will be no problem with the installation. Some security updates are defined as optional and not pushed through, please download and install, then run a virus scan to make sure that your system is clean. Download the update from here.

  • is it possible to run both systems, such as windows xp & windows 8 on a pc

    is it possible to run both systems, such as windows xp and windows 8 on a pc at the same time

    Hi Susan,.

    Actually run two at the same time?  N ° having two installed so that you can choose which you want to run?  Yes (as long as your computer can accommodate two operating systems and has appropriate and such pilots and you will understand the compatibility requirements and other rules for software application).

    How to do this depends on which two average you and your hardware (you could partition the disk to dual-boot, use readers separate for dual boot or create a similar to a dual-boot configuration, if the two you choose cannot work together in a normal dual-boot or use a Virtual Machine installed on an operating system to install and run the other OS and so on).  Certain combinations will be much easier than others.

    So the answer is it is theoretically possible to have two (or three or more) installed, but not running at the same time - but I guess it could be argued that a Virtual Machine means in fact the two BONES are technically running - but that's just the way it seems to me since you can use only one at a time) , but may not work in your specific situation depending on your computer hardware and bios, the software you use, which specifies the operating systems you want to be able to access separately and so on.  To do this, we need information much more to offer help.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How can I know if someone is trying to hack into my system?

    Original title: Hackers

    How can I know if someone is trying to hack into my system?

    If you see something strange, like move your mouse, you windows open randomly. In some cases, you may not notice anything.

    I suggest to do some checking, first run Windows Update and install all updates, if your system is outdated, it is easier to get hacked.

    Other than Windows, you must ensure that other applications on your PC are updated such as Java, Flash Player, and if any application asked for the update, please do.

    Make sure, of course, install Anti-Malware software and update it.

    Run a full system scan with:

    after it is deleted:

    also run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.

  • Help possible Hacker?

    There are currently a person using my computer... went into the Task Manager and they appear as local or network... they are currently logged in config WWAN as a user on behalf of the security password pc owner... they seem to use my printer to print somewhere else... .anyone help!

    Hi HelenSmith,

    Software piracy can occur in a number of ways. Your computer system itself can be hacked and used personal information. Your blog or your Web site can be compromised if a hacker gets your password. Your email can be hacked if you click on a fraudulent link and you will not be able to recover your email address and other information you have saved in your account. Follow these steps to protect your computer and prevent software piracy.

    ·         Attack of hackers where they see weakness. A system that has not been updated recently has defects that can be put to use by hackers. Go to the Microsoft Update site to download the patches and secure the most recent version of your operating system.

    ·         Firewalls prohibit external threats such as viruses and hackers to access your system. Customize your firewall during installation process settings to accommodate the amount of data you want to allow in your system from the Internet. Regularly update your firewall.

    ·         Multiple use of complex passwords for each Web site, connect. Banking and other financial sites are particularly important maintain security.

    ·         Delete e-mails from unknown sources. Never click on an e-mail link that seems doubtful.

    ·         Buy or download an antivirus software. Many computers come pre-installed with some anti-virus software, but if not, or if you want a more powerful software, search online to find what product is right for you. Anti-virus software is crucial to keeping your computer healthy. A "sick", or a prey to viruses, is more vulnerable to piracy. Set your preferences so that your antivirus software will update automatically.

    I suggest that you scan and remove any malware or computer virus infections after you start the computer in Safe Mode with networking and check if it helps.

    Step 1

    Boot safe mode with networking.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2

    Perform a virus scan to eliminate all virus infected.

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

    You can also use Microsoft Security databases to scan your computer

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/PC-security/MSE.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.

    Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, please after return. We will be happy to help you.

  • Possible hacking of my office

    Awhile back, I had a computer repairman in our House to solve a problem since we were still under the manufacturer's warranty.  The problem has been supported, but the technology was "dubious" itself.  Starting very shortly after his visit that seems to involve a lot of keyboard typing, our online shopping has repeatedly been hacked and any additional precautions, we try to take, someone seems to know a new credit card number as soon as we use them.  This is starting to get expensive.  Is there a way that the tech visit could add a program to send to him (or other) our info financial as soon as it is used?  How would I find such a program?

    I hope that's not sound too paranoid, I think that it doesn't.

    Hello

    A Keylogger, which is a program installed, send the information of credit card that they monitor your keystrokes and send this information to a 3rd party.

    These are computer programs designed to run on the target computer software . [2] Keyloggers are used in COMPUTER departments to resolve technical problems with computers and business networks. Keyloggers can also be used by a family (or a company) to monitor the use of the network of people without their knowledge. Finally, attackers can use keyloggers on public computers to steal passwords for or credit card.

  • Is it possible to limit the system size of Pool Paged on 64-bit system?

    There is an application that uses big files (usually more than 1 TB) through particular e/s in some places files and memory mapping.

    We have control over the application, however declining memory map is highly undesirable because of stability issues.

    on 32 - bit systems, everything is perfect. on 64 - bit expanded considerably systems grows and may exceed the size of physical memory.

    resulting in serious performance degradation.

    Poolmon.exe reports that almost all dimensions of pool are used by MmSt, which is the object prototype PTE.

    I guess, that the cause is 128 GB maximum default size of the paged. system would not clean the dead entries.

    is it possible to solve? for as much as I can get, only available registry keys for 32-bit systems.

  • Is it possible to change the system of classification of the products of Business Catalyst images?

    Hi all!

    Alright, I work on a BC e-commerce site and really want to fix the images used for the product classification for each product. I understand they are the default values of the system in British Colombia, but is it possible to override or replace? The path is /CatalystImages/5stars.gif?vs=b1725.r465456-phase1 appended to any site of BC and you will see the small .gif. I sincerely appreciate how BC argued and pretty much covered every base, I just want to know if I can use some of my own images in it's place for the calculated ranking.


    Thank you all in advance! I'm having a ball learning more every day BC!

    Hello

    If you are coding in legacy BC then you just do as in the documentation:

    The developer reference

    In the methods of liquid/new module you just set the path differently or make a collection of fluid.

  • Possible to convert physical system disk already in vmdk format?

    Duplicating a lot of physical W2K3 led to VMDK as a guest, so all the physical disks are already in vmdk format.

    Now try and do start as guests. Is it possible with converter?

    If not with converter, then what?

    > Converter not set the active disk when it converts?

    Converter is not perfect.

    You try to find out why a system does not start.

    One of the first things you check if the startup disk is active - no matter if it's a virtual machine or a real machine.

    How do you verify that? -Yes - boot a LiveCD and leans on the disks

    Thank you for posting.  It seems to me that what you really want is a slightly streaming on Vista Basic.  Since you said that you want to remove things like the Media Center, which leads me to believe that you have Home Premium or Ultimate.

    Consulting services running on your computer by using the Task Manager

    You can use Manager tasks to display the services that are running on your computer. You can also find processes that could be associated with a particular service. (A process is a file, for example an executable file that ends with an .exe file name extension, that the computer uses to directly start a program or to start other services.)

    1. Click to open the Task Manager.

    2. Click the Services tab to see the services that are running under your user account.

    3. To find out if there is a process associated with a service, right-click on the service and then click go to process. If go to process is gray out and unavailable, it's because the selected service is currently stopped. The status column indicates whether a service is running or stopped.

    Notes

    • If you click go to process but no process is not highlighted in the processes tab, the process is not running under your user account. To view all processes, click the processes tab, and then click Show processes from all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Click the Services tab, and then try again to see the process.

    • If you right-click a process on the tab process, then click go to service (s), but you don't see any highlighted services, then the process does not all associated services, regardless of whether processes from all users are shown or not.

    • Clicking Services at the bottom of the Services tab opens the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, where advanced users can view more details about services and configure additional options.
