  With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

• latest malware attack? What should I do to protect my computer?

  Does anyone have suggestions in how to protect computers of this latest attack from malware which claims the FBI will prevent computers access to the internet?

  You are being confused by the reports. This isn't an attack "later." It's called malware that has been around for centuries. The reason why the FBI is blocking so he knows are infected the computer. The malware redirects an infected PC to a site to know that the FBI is now in control. If you are infected and that your computer is you redirecting it is the only time where you have to worry about this particular malware. Otherwise, if you already have an antivirus and anti-malware software programs in place, you should be fine.

• Message update\update.exe is not a valid file because the computer has been infected from malware attacks

  Original title: update\update.exe message is not a valid file when tried to install IE8 KB2744842 patch

  I got this virus live Platinum security.  I think about Microsoft bulletin as CVE - 2012 - 4969 Backdoor: Win 32/Poison.BR supposedly he is gone now with PC Tools Spyware Doctor with antivirus.  I can no longer get critical updates to www.update.microsoft.com and cannot go there and get either them.  I have automatic updates turn on my computer, but when I go to the update site, it asks me to turn on the automatic updates, but doesn't change from red to green.  If I click on the express, it gives me a message there is a problem with the web page.  I have read some solutions and typed in will looking for three files like BIT and update, but the only one listed was the workstation.  I did some research and found the servers to Windows IE8 patch KB2744842 and downloaded and when I tried to install it, he unpacked himself and then ran, and then I got the message saying that update\update is not a valid Win 32 application.  I searched this file and found it was created on 20/09/2012, the same day I had the terrible malware and under properties, it is called configuration of Windows Service Pack, the version of the 6.3.0004.1 built by: dnsrv, internal name update.exe, English, original name: update.exe on my computer, it is C:\\bb5d6cfc84bf6a13dde9b006.update

  Try to solve this problem cost me $230 plus the cost of PCTools Spyware.  I called a number to the www.spywarehelpcenter.com to support when I was having trouble installing the PCTools in safemode and said Malwarebytes Pro was much better and used by companies and he said he gave me $150 off so it cost me one once charge $50 and there is no renewal and sold me a one year $ 180 contract to remove the virus and the development of my computer.  He had insisted on it going remotely and showed me all these errors.   I think that I made a mistake to trust him.  Two technicians have worked on my computer remotely on two different days without a firewall and installed Malwarebytes Pro three times because it kept to give a message of corruption, and it is that when I pointed out to them there is no firewall that was added by a sort of sharedaccess.reg problem is I can't get and install the critical updates.  I trust a third time to do things?  They have deleted quite a few programs.  I think that maybe the problem is that they were not aware of the fixit patch and the full patch to IE8.  I run Windows XP Professional and probably should upgrade to Windows 7 in the near future.

  I should add that a few days before that happened, I noticed that if I went in sysedit, the config.sys and autoexec.bat files windows were empty.   My computer has always competed, but it seemed very slowly.  I could not find a solution for this and read that you don't really need these files.  I have the original operating system disk and has been reading how to install it, but only for the repair by pressing 'r' and let it repair missing files.   So I don't know what to do.  Any advice?  I am so tired of this, but still have hope to operate correctly.

  Hi Catnip009,

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: I suggest you to download and make a bootable CD or USB to Windows Defender in offline mode, and then run the tool.

  For more information, see the following articles:

• Malware attack of the script on the Web site

  Hello

  I'm a Web Designer and one of my sites was hacked recently, although the site is now clean I am concerned about malware that may have been installed on the PC of the user of the site with my own PC. The pirate has placed a script on the homepage which has opened a small iframe which connected to a website - I think THAT THIS WEBSITE IS DISTRIBUTING MALWARE OF SOME SORT so don't VISIT IT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU're DOING - feedfaster (dot) com.

  I have not noticed any problems with my PC, but one of the users of the Web site contacted us because he was afraid. He told me he worked in internet security and that the site had installed a "backdoor" on his PC. He also said 'It was a very clever attack signature that is not captured by AVG, Sbybot or MalwareBytes' and only there because of what he was going to 'trash his PC. He told me that the script has been targeted to computers running windows and Internet Explore or firefox.

  I visited the site myself at the time the script was there and you click on ignore the warnings I got from my browser (as I tried to see what was going on on the site), so if there is a malware problem, I'm sure it will be on my PC. Today, I run the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (Jan 2012) and also scan of Microsoft Security 1.0.3001.0 (which I downloaded today) and none of them found no problems. I also ran a scan complete wth AVG which found nothing either.

  Anyone would be able to tell me if these 2 tools of Microsoft detects the malware distributed by feedfaster if she was there and if not will be updated tools to detect in the near future?

  Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

• Vista system restore question after malware attack

  Hello.  My wife's computer has been attacked by malware.  It all hid on the desktop and the start menu as well as all his personal files, has launched a large number of pop-up windows - up with fake error messages and then prompted to pay an unknown technical support source.  I used the Vista system restore to restore the system to a few days before the attack.  According to the instructions of Windows help, the system restore should not affect his personal files.  I was hoping that his files would be present again after the restore, but they are still missing.  The malware seems to have disappeared now.  Any suggestions on where its files can be located or what measures you need a professional to get back them?

• Unable to access several sites and install apps in the appstore. A possible malware issue. What should I do?

  Hey guys,.

  I am using a 8 GB Mac Mini with an i5 processor clocked at 2.6 GHz Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F27).

  I don't have problems with this until I visited a torrent site (I hate invited but unfortunately I did this time). Since that unfortunate activity, I get mackeeper pop ups and my search engines by default on all my browsers like Safari, Firefox and chrome automatically replaced by trovi. I can't access to 90% of websites like YouTube except facebook, twitter, Netflix, gmail, google, yahoo and other email clients. I get a "cannot connect" on firefox and messages error 'Safari cannot connect to the server. I checked with the ISP settings and proxy but no problem there as my other devices such as the ipad and the iphone apple work fine on the same wifi network. I erased all the extensions, cookies and cache but without success.

  I am also unable to access the app store to install applications. I wanted to make its own memory and a removal of the malware, but couldn't that since the appstore could not contact the server.

  I mainly use this machine for audio production and browsing through Logic Pro X.

  What is a malware problem? If so, how to fight that? Should I format my HD and upgrade to El Capitan? Who will solve the problem?

  Kindly help.

• Possible malware of plane? Does not connect to AT & T in turn...

  A week ago I was traveling for work. Until my flight home on Wednesday, my iPhone 6 worked perfectly. I used the usb port under my seat and connected my phone, so I could load it. I also used the wifi service on the plane for the Delta app and watch in flight on my phone for free entertainment. After landing and trying to connect to my service provider, my phone has been indefinitely "search...". ». I turned off and turned on, went in and out of shot data power on and off several times, flight mode and hard reset a couple of times. Nothing has worked. I left the airport and went to 40 minutes from the hotel and it is as if by magic a tower and my LTE was back. It was the only one back 10 minutes. Upper left corner then don't read 'no service '. This lasted through the weekend where I have traveled throughout the metropolitan region and to a different State. I couldn't get service anywhere.

  Today, I got home and restored to factory settings, then restored my phone to last synchronization, which was AFTER I came back from the initial flight. Then, the phone connected to LTE right now and took some time to sync all my music files. After he finished syncing, I removed the phone from the usb and she soon loses service again. In a last effort, I took the SIM in and out of the ditch. Always read 'no service '.

  So I drove to the Apple Store and they told me that they could not look at him until later this week. Quickly, an employee made a 'reset network settings' and popped the SIM inside and out. Then, the phone was unable to read the sim card over and says "No Sim". I stopped in the AT & T store to get a new sim card, did not work, still don't read 'no sim '.

  I don't have not returned home to restore the phone to factory settings and then restore backup. It is currently connected to my laptop via USB and still transfer files from backup restore. It IS connected to the LTE but I'm afraid that there will soon be "no service".

  My question is, is this a hardware or a software problem? Could my phone picked up the airplane malware via wifi or usb? Could the plane Delta network put some kind of software (non-malware) which can be screwing things up? I feel I have tried everything...

  If you reset the phone to default settings, WITHOUT restoring from a backup, it works well, then?

  There isn't any value in the default factory restore and then restore backup if there is something in the backup that ask you questions. Try to remove the WiFi configuration for gogo.

  Also, check the configuration of the wireless network that you are connected and see if there is anything that is configured for a proxy server or something like that.

• Cannot get Equium L40-10 X work after malware attack

  Hi, I'm new here.

  Only the portable computer satellite 1 week and it is infected by malicious software. Norton Internet Security has been enabled and up-to-date, but alas the worms won. It displays the message "Windows Explorer has stopped working" during attempts to start. Curiously, although the recording of AntiVirGear v3.7 message works perfectly.
  I have tried to format the C: partition, run all Safe Mode options, install Win Vista and install XP, CD recovery, BIOS settings, Windows repair and of course my old friend MSDOS.

  I removed the hard drive to 120 GB (3 sheets) and tried to pop in the modular Bay with my trusty so I could do as I didn't like another drive, bootable to harvest my files on the E: partition, then put the thing in shape. But the pins are different, although the disks are the same size. So basically I'm stuck with a PC deadish no fault of Toshiba, MS or anyone...

  Except the disbelievers AntiVirGear v3.7 programming which will gladly release my yoke of its channels referred that I give them my credit card information (if they have not already snatch that). If I do that it will be the beginning of "more than a purchase" and which will probably end my misery... So if anyone here can help, I have the hammer and the screwdriver ready.

  I went to Norton Support and they told me to try things I've already tried. And then they left, "contact MS. MS does not support OEM versions, so here I am.

  Please have a think on this subject.

  Thanks for listening.

  Hey Buddy,

  man, this REALLY seems to... REALLY strange.

  Therefore, to better understand:

  You have malware on your system (c :) drive), you want a system that works? Right? But you first want to sure some of your data?

  OK, it would be preferable to seize your hard drive, go to the following electronic market and then buy a USB - HDD enclosure. But first check if the pins did (which was the idea of taking your car to the market to verify THIS).

  Connect the USB - HDD to your system to another, copy your files, and then delete the ENTIRE disk. It would be best to try this CD to format and repartition your drive:
  www.UBCD4Win.com

  Then after you completely remove all partitions, you can drive your recovery and recover a system that works.

• Missing links after a Malware attack

  XP Pro, IE8, OE6

  My old father-in-law of 94 is suspected of by clicking on a link in an email from "Solutions from PC" he received as bait the reader with 'If you can't read this email, click here', followed by the Pandemonium, then ends by "we can fix your computer for $79, just click here.  Fortunately, it has not executed this last step ($$). It won't just admit it. In any case...

  MSE has completely failed me. I've since returned to Malwarebytes online malware protection. So to make a long story short... the office photo disappeared (only in blue BSOD), programs in the start folder Menu was completely empty (but because the programs were all still there in Program Files), administration tools and accessories were empty and the system restore didn't work. The malware "System Check" was bad. Malwarebytes would not work. I scanned with MSE and cleaned up the bad guys (AFTER infection :-(), deleted and reinstalled Malwarebytes and it ran, but the damage was done. I ran SDFix and it was clean and then displayed. Bringing more hidden links, but not all. System Restore worked now but I had to fire through the window RUN (no links anywhere). But the old restore files have apparently been corrupted and none would complement a restore (get about 1/2 way on the progress bar, then quickly complete 100% restart and then "unable to finish restoration".  Internet has never stopped working, if it's not the kicker. First time I had seen that happen with a coup of malware. Usually, at least a proxy is checked, if not a winsock problem.

  Everything works now, but I'm missing a bunch of links again and I was wondering how to recover them, short of a repair installation. Adminstrative Tools is empty, both record programs and in the control panel. Many start/program Menu folders are still empty, entertainment is empty, Sytem Tools contains only the IE link (no add-on), and root C contains three records of recycler (recycler, recycle (2) and Recyler (3).) I don't know what these are, but they each contain a couple of folders that contain application files names you see in the registry as "S23984q32098u3948234" - I made this one.

  Could / should I copy the links from my computer (both XP Pro) and hope this works if their paths are the same? Are there certain keys regsitry that I need to change/remove?

  Any suggestion would be great. Thank you

• XP Pro malware attack.

  My XP Pro laptop has been infected with some kind of malware that is picked up and began to run a fake program that looks like Microsoft Security Center.  It shows the shield and begins an analysis that says that he's been infected by w32/blaster/worm.  I did respond to this.  I shut down the system, restarted in Mode safe mode with networking and headed two programs to try to remove it.  Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware SE.  After you remove the programs of boredom, I rebooted.  Now, Windows XP restarts at the login screen.  At that time, he is locked.  No mouse, no keyboard.  Can anyone tell how to proceed from here?
