Prevent installation of malware

Hello

Twice in the last week, I visited a site and the next thing I know that zonealarm question whether access should be granted to an exe! I picked up xp antivirus 2011 malware, simply by clicking on a link from google.

To remove scan takes about 4 hours. At the time when firefox came first, a sales feature was that it wouldn't install the software in your system without your permission. This seems not have now been circumvented and I would be grateful if someone could give me advice on what I should do to prevent what is happening a third time?

Please visit the Plugins check page and update if necessary.

This is a security advisory that warns obsolete plugins:

In addition, image searches can now lead you to malicious sites. See Google images can lead to malicious sites

    Suggestion:

    Turn off User Account Control (UAC).
    Try to install.
    If it works, please make sure you turn UAC.

    Start button > Control Panel > column on the left, select Classic view > user accounts > select user accounts enable or disable > uac prompt > uncheck "use account control...". "

  • How can I prevent installation of McAfee GUARD during the Flash update?

    I'm under Win8.0, Firefox 34.0.5. I have NO options when I select upgrade - I get a 'Save' option for downloading, after which I have to go to the download folder, select and run the .exe file that installs BOTH the Flash player AND McAfee software updated. I DON'T want McAfee and immediately uninstall it. How can I prevent its installation? Thank you!

    The easiest way is to simply use Internet Explorer, Edge (for Win10) or Chrome, which bundle Flash Player as a component integrated on Win8 and higher, so there is never an installer to download, or an update to install (they are delivered via Windows Update or the update of Chrome, respectively).

    For Firefox, you will need to uncheck the box for McAfee on the download page itself, after which you will get the installation program that is not group McAfee.  I posted much longer explanations on the subject, so I'm not going to come in here, but we invite you to look through my flow for a longer and more eloquent background.

  • Prevent installation of the vmware tools

    Hello!

    Is it possible to prevent the installation of VMWare tools when creating a new machine in the Workstation 6.5.1?

    I want to test the OS which is absolutely clean and it seems that VMWare tools are installed automatically when you create the virtual OS ISO. This is quite annoying, because after installing the tools is no longer a "clean" image

    As continuum wrote, under normal circumstances, the tools will get installed automaticall if you create a guest (some people like exactly that, and it is often asked here how to achieve this).

    Source of your guests? Are they have cloned, installed costs or...?

    Hello Dave deaf.

    It is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme and this one for plugins.

    If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

    In addition, it is possible that your system is infected by malicious software. To search for malicious software, install, update and run these programs in this order. They are all free for personal use, some have limited functionality in their 'free mode', but the features you won't miss are not really necessary to find and remove the problem you have. Remember that not all programs detect the malware even!

  • Cannot install new programs as "system administrator has set policies to prevent Installation.

    It comes to my computer at home, not on any network.  More and more, I get this error message.  There must be an easy fix.  Hope someone can show me the way... Thank you... Marv

    Hi MarvReinke

     

    1. you are the administrator of the computer?
    2 do you have standard user permissions to install programs?

    It seems that this administrator has blocked installation of programs on the computer. (UAC) user account controls have been set accordingly. If you are the computer administrator, you can try to connect as an administrator and see if you can install the programs correctly. You can also try to change UAC settings to solve the problem.

     

    You can check the links below for more information-
