Post Virus Fix problems

I was just recently hijacked by a virus that blocked internet access after 1 or 2 attempts with false security warnings Windows. I could go initially to my yahoo.ca homepage, but any attempt to go beyond and I was blocked by the above. The rest of the computer went very well.

I managed to download & run avast antivirus which seems to have cleaned the virus. Unfortunately, the side effect is that I can not access any application that I will receive a window "Application not found" or a window 'open with' is not the answer.  This is the case for all installed applications, including IE7. However, applications are still there as I open it a folder for example Word, Excel. Also, I can partially use Outlook Express by clicking on the links located in the files. This allows me to create emails, but that's all.

Being does not technically savvy I can see that the question seems to be the path of the icon of the application or another starting point for the actual demand. I tried system restore but I got the same response "application not found".

I'd appreciate any help. But because of the issue I can't access the Internet on the laptop affectd. Please understand that I limited in my technical knowledge, but will certainly give some suggestions come along a good try.

    Due to the virus fix, I am not able to see my C drive of files (showing 0 items in a folder, but it has a size correct ex: 7 GB). I use Windows XP sp3.

    Even my Start menu options and the Office were empty and the task manager has been disabled.

    I tried to restore my laptop but no luck.

    Please help me get rid of this virus.

    I've never seen any person related Microsoft solve this problem (no Microsoft KB article), but you can fix it using the instructions and tools to other people who actually thought of it and actually know how to repair and have actually fixed properly (without a lot of difficult things that might work sometimes maybe).

    You need as a result of suggestions from people who have actually seen and that fixed it and not people who have never really seen or actually fixed and have no idea how to solve this problem.

    And I don't know of many contributors to the forum very well - I'm no Microsoft Support and the support engineers talking Microsoft product.

    Avoid the wild goose huntingSupport Engineer.

    If any Microsoft Support person wants their infected system like this on purpose so you can actually learn how to solve this problem, I'll be happy to tell you how.  I can assure you that the solution is not in all the Microsoft KB articles.

    Here are two links that you read through that show you how to fix this familiar problem.  I read through them all the way in poking around on our system and then when you know what you have, apply the instructions to work.

    When I send a large file, it repeats (sends) again and again until I delete it from the Outbox, it is a virus, a problem of microsoft or roadrunner?

    Hi thxfour,

    Got your problem about sending large files by e-mail.
    If I'm just guessing you use a such as MS Outlook or Outlook Express e-mail client!
    If Yes, then,.
    I inform you that the as soon as you click on the button to send your e-mail client. The content of this particular mail sending process begins. The process continues until the last byte of data is transferred. Now, email clients (almost all) are designed to send the contents of a mail only once and not resumeable parts. Now, each time while you send mail with the content inside, it must go in one piece. However, if there is some sort of interruption in the internet connection, the content is not completely transferred. The remains of mail in the Outbox and automatically transfer begins as soon as the internet connection resumes. When the mail is deleted from the Outbox send is stopped because the source is no longer available.

    This thing happens generally when sending large files on a slow speed or internet medium given that the execution time is more emails compared to normal.
    Run time means more chances to get an interruption in internet connectivity.

    * It is advisable to use an application to transfer files to transfer large files over the internet instead of emails. File transfer can transfer large files (in GB), and if there is no interruption in the internet connection, you can resume the download.

  • Stylesheets fixing problem.

    Tried a bunch of different ways to attach. Appears in the CSS, but no styles is tied.

    I use a box to light that I used previously without a problem.

    The name of the file attached in the area of source code, but the file is empty, if I click on it.

    CSS style sheets are on the site in correctly named folders, but when I click on the name in the code source box, it says it is not on the local drive, then I try to use the link and it says that the file is not found.

    lightbox. CSS came in fine, but .js and jquery files will not come.

    Really would appreciate help! Have graced the deadline!

    Thank you.

    You really need validate your complete HTML code for us to have an accurate picture of things. You can use http://pastebin.com. Or better yet, post a link to the site, so we can see it in action.

    I think that all your problems are from the simple fact that you load the scripts BEFORE the CSS. The CSS must be loaded in the first place, especially when you have a script that is based on them as a viewer. Put them in the right order and let us know if some or all of the issues are fixed. (This is also based on the assumption that you have set your site correctly)

  • Fixed problem reading video Firefox

    Since at least Firefox version 9, I found that my AOL-Netscape Web page wouldn't play videos. On Google and IE9, I had no problem.

    I decided to start Firefox (latest Version) on safe mode and disabled the extensions that I felt would affect video playback. The extension of Ghostery found the cause. I removed the extension and now video reads like a charm. I don't know if other people have had this problem but it fixed mine.

    So read your details to do this, it seems that uninstalling Ghostery https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/ fixed your problem? You can try this reporting to the developer of the add-on, search and maybe out a fix.

  • How can I fix problems created with Windows Installer Cleanup?

    I had some problems installing a software on my Windows XP and had to run the software Windows Installer Cleanup before the program installs. I was stupid and didn't choose carefully what programs should perform the Windows Installer Cleanup. So now my automatic updates for my XP will not be installed.

    Here is the message I get when trying to install the automatic updates:

    Initializing installation... done!
    Install the update of security Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP (KB974417) (update 1 of 1)...

    Here is the result:

    Some updates not can be installed.
    The following updates have not can be installed:
    A security update Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP (KB974417)

    This is the only notification I receive the updates failed. I think it's because the link to the installer of windows has been removed by the software Windows Installer Cleanup.

    How can I correct this situation?

    Kind regards
