Possible virus that poses as MS security check
My computer has gone in almost total collapse. I get a lot of messages telling me that the computer has been scanned and almost all the seriousness that could go wrong with a computer went wrong - everything about to crash etc. I am asked to pay Security Check US$ 74 and they will fix it. The given site is www.security-check.com. I checked online and it doesn't seem to be such an undertaking. They use the MS logo, but it has different colors. What can I do? The computer is almost useless. Unable to get anything to come when I click on the Start button. Any help would be appreciated.
See you soon,.

Try to use the removal instructions in the following article. You will have to perhaps download the programs on another computer and copy them to a USB Flash drive, to get them to the infected computer.

Possible virus that can not be found and seriously I guess that corrupt firewall on my new PC
I didn't learn much computer problems, but I don't have that something is very wrong with my camera HP All In One. I had an old E = machine 6 years before this HP and I don't understand it. My HP has all the permission issues, old file corrupt user numbers, it's like my old PC is back and im having problems with the public private connection which I thought I was making progress on until tonight, so what a virus Norton Internet Security scan, he me clued also had another old E-machine problem and it's a totally messed up corrupted firewall settings , I mean it's like someone is advertising to come, ive never seen such a mess, and it wont let me touch anything. Can someone give of this out-of-work poor old computer duence some down-to-Earth plain advice please! Me and mine would be certainly grateful. God bless you!
PC and the user here files not get corrupt, or the permissions created problems, except 1) the user plays with the different parameters of the victory, 2) install incompatible software, or maintenance of third party utilities.
Norton, according to exactly what version uses its own firewall
While we could run through a long series of messages in an attempt to resolve system problems, my suggestion would be to;
(1) ensure that all data is backed up on an external - the easiest method is simply to copy data to an external support. Checks that the data is readable on the external media.
(2) then use your HP recovery disks to restore the system to factory condition. (Make sure that the external devices are disconnected when you do this, for example printer/external readers)
Did allow the update of windows to run important updates, which can take several reboots and analysis again.
Then run the HP update utility to get updates of the HP driver.
I guess that the version of Norton you are using was preinstalled by HP, and it will be a trial version.
If so uninstall it, restart the PC, install the free form of MSE MS

I tried to go to Web sites that I visit every day and they are all blocked by a virus that seems to be Mozilla (but isn't) and watch the logo of mozilla and says my site has been blocked by the parent control of Mozilla and you must sign up for this. He asks that all the personal information you give NEVER online so I knew it was a virus. I write this in safe mode. My Vipre will not pick up this virus and Malware bites either. I have deleated Mozilla and reinstalled but it did not work.

Y at - it an anti virus that goes with my default firewall for windows xp
Y at - it an anti virus that goes with my default firewall for windows xp? I had microsoft essentials, but it comes with a separate firewall
Microsoft Security Essentials does not include a firewall, it fits with the (default) Windows Firewall. During installation, Microsoft Security Essentials scans the PC to determine if a firewall is enabled on the PC. If no firewall protection is present, you can turn on the Windows Firewall. See features and benefits-Windows Firewall integration. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials/product-information

The Adobe cc 2015 BSOD kernel security check failure
Hello!
The title betrays it. I have a problem with the core of security check failure and a BSOD. Whenever I want to open: first, encoder and sequels, I get this now fail really annoying. In December there is no problem for me. I don't know why she does now. But I'm curious to know if anyone knows how to solve the problem. I have a laptop with an Intel hd graphics card msi. My computer is fairly recent. I am currently operating on windows 10. I had this problem too with photoshop, but that was solved by searching the file sniffer.exe. As far as I know, everything is up-to-date. I checked the updates on windows 10 and my drivers.
I really need to use the programs, so I'm a little desperate here.
Thanks for in advance!

I have the same problem!
A new laptop HP-Envy 16 GB, Windows, 10 4GB Vram nVidia GTX950M + Intel GPU HD520
As noted above, PS was easy to fix by removing the sniffer.exe, but this driver is no longer...
Bought a new laptop for a trip soon - but he'll stay at home...
If the problem did not exist before - is it possible to back to an older version of the CC of 2015?
My feeling is that perhaps 2 GPU that complicate things...
Edit-
Perhaps resolved - after checking the many google tips - which seems to work for me is:
1 - click right on the. EXE (not the shortcut) files and implement "As Admin" and changed the default GPU nVidia GTX950m
2. it still does not ok - but after installing the driver nVidia older 359.06 now all program starts and no blue screen...
Not yet tried to edit a video, but before that I couldn't even start programs - fingers crossed...

There are pages where I think that the page should be secure is starts with https:// and the lock however seems to show it's safe. However the Norton toolbar only indicates that the page is secure; It doesn't mean it's safe. Sometimes the lock is not displayed but the Norton toolbar says the page is secure. Most of the time the two indicators are okay, but I was wondering why there are moments where they are not.
Hello! The question you have posted is really an interesting question. The following could be the reasons for this:
- NORTON provides a security seal to the owners of Web sites. Sometimes these joints can be revoked or expire. That's when NORTON Security Toolbar will display it "Insecure". But the same site may use SSL, then Mozilla poster protection the golden padlock and identify as "Secure".
- Sometimes, a site cannot use SSL, but to use Norton seals. While Mozilla identifies it as "Insecure" and Norton identifies as "Secure".
Security measures could change the behavior of the different measures of protection. But as Mozilla checks the SSL certificate on the Web site (and not for any joints!), a better option would be to trust of the sites identified by the golden padlock, because it guarantees a total safety.
We hope that these reasons would cause.
