• A Virus infect my computer from the system restore?

  My computer has been infected recently by (I think) a kind of malware that would be redirecting My search Google results (with a warning of Google chrome that the site had a low signature) and remove Windows Defender. I tried many possible solutions on the internet, but none of them worked. In the end, I decided to do a system restore to about two days before, he started, and my computer seems to work very well.

  After the restoration of the system, I installed AVG Antivirus (paid version / pro) and did a full scan of the computer. I think he deleted something like that harmful things we found on my computer.
  Now, three days after the system restore, I've read a few articles and questions on the internet that says a system restore does not remove a virus and that she could hide in the system restore files. I don't know if this is related, but some sites will not load for me (like 'wiiublog' and 'malwarebytes' Web sites), and when I check on another site (like 'downforeveryoneorjustme'), he says that the Web sites are on the rise. In addition, some Web sites load with just the words and links, but no images.
  The virus infect my computer in system restore files? It still does damage to my computer?
  If so, is there something I need to check my files system restore (I read that you need to turn off and do another scan, but I don't want to do anything without first aid)?
  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.
  I also Iobit Advanced Systemcare running.

  If this is the case, no matter what your problem was, it was probably not
  malware. A system restore is rarely effective in eliminating
  malware.

  After the restoration of the system, I installed AVG Antivirus (paid version / pro) and did a full scan of the computer. I think he deleted something like that harmful things we found on my computer.

  In my opinion, AVG, who was one of the best anti-virus programs
  is no longer. There are several better choices:

  For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32 or Kaspersky, if you
  are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend
  (do not run more than one antivirus program) one of the following
  three:
   
  Avira AntiVir
  Avast
  Microsoft Security Essentials
   
  You also need anti-spyware software (even if you run a program such as)
  Microsoft Security Essentials, with integrated anti-spyware capability
  It). I recommend that you download and install MalwareBytes (freeware)
  AntiMalware

  Now, three days after the system restore, I've read a few articles and questions on the internet that says a system restore does not remove a virus and that she could hide in the system restore files.

  An infection in a restore point is completely harmless, unless you
  restore from this restore point.
  The only way to remove the virus is to turn off System Restore, then again, but who's going to delete all the your restore points, not just the one (s) infected. Alternatively, you can just wait for the points that are infected at the end of the chain - a maximum of 90 days of fall.
  My preference is to wait 90 days.

  No, it isn't a good idea to have more than one program antivirus running at the same time.

  The reason is that there is a great chance that the 2 programs will conflict with each other.

• After removing a virus from my computer, I can't access any of my programs like Windows Media Player. Pop - up says choose program to open the file type.

  After removing a virus from my computer last year, I struggle to access most programs such as media player and other things.  When I try to open something, I get a popup asking me to choose the program I want to use to open this file. For some programs, this file is actually listed.  But for the most part, they did not.  For example, Nero express is what I use to copy CDs or DVDs.  I have to go into a safe mode to use it as well as using programs to run virus checks.  I was told that the virus had somehow corrupted or affected my file extensions.  I almost had cheated using powerful PC Max but did some research beforehand.  Any suggestions?

  original title: File Extension problems

  If you need to go to Safe Mode in order to use certain applications (for example, Nero Express), particularly antivirus scans, you most likely have not successfully removed all malware from your computer.

  How did you remove the virus from your computer last year?

  You then install an antivirus application?  Which one?  Are you still using it?  What's his current subscription? Its subscription has already been authorized expiration?

  What version of Windows, including service pack, do you use?

  What other anti-malware software do you currently use?

  Have you analysed recently with the following free tools?  Otherwise, download, install, update and run scans (not simultaneously) with each of them:
  MalwareBytes AntiMalware
  SUPERAntiSpyware
  Like many also restore file associations.

  • Right-click on a file and select open with > choose program.
  • Look in the lists of programs (split in 'Recommend programs' and 'Other programs')
  • If you can't find the application you want to use to open this type of file, click on the button "Browse".
  • The "Program Files" folder should open (if it isn't, go to C:\Program Files
  • Find the program you want to use.  If you are looking in C:\Program Files\------, you determine which file is the actual program.  You should be able to tell from the icon.  If not, see note below)
  • Select the program (the exe file or the name of the program in one of these lists) and check the box "always use the program selected to open this type of file"
  • Click OK
  • Repeat the above for each type of different file according to the needs

  Note: If you need to determine the EXE file for an application, just right-click on the shortcut you use to start the program, and then select Properties.  Click on the tab "shortcut".  The 'Target' box contains the path name to go to the executable (EXE file) for the program.   For example, the executable file for Firefox is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

  There are a few exceptions, including but not limited to Microsoft applications, which use a more obscure reference to the target.  Word, for example, indicates the 'target' as a 'Microsoft Office' gray of no matter the version.  The real exe for Word is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICEnn\WinWord.exe' where the nn refers to the version of Word that you have (Word XP/2002 is 10, Word 2003 is 11, Word 2007 is 12, Word 2010 is 14).

  If you need assistance with a shortcut that does not directly show the name of path, ask.

• I got a virus and my computer starts is no longer the error message was < root windows > system32\hal.dll

  I downloaded a virus on my computer that wouldn't let my computer startup message wasn't system32\hal.dll Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or damaged.  I went into the recovery console and tried to repair the files what happened was now I can start only on my storage drive and it will stay running only for a few minutes and then the computer shuts down. At startup in the bios it is that one illustrious disc which is my small storage disk not the large drive box and not CD drive. A few days ago everything worked well today can't get to run long enough to fix it.

  What a mess!

  Are you saying that the PC does not see the CD drive? Or that Windows could not see it?
  What is the brand and model of your PC? Are you able to get into the BIOS to see if the CD drive is listed? If so, you can then change order of device for the start-up of the PC then it stops on the CD instead of the hard drive.

  Software to burn a bootable CD from a .iso file:
  http://www.ImgBurn.com/
  The drive being SATA Seagate, I wonder if you need to make a setting in the BIOS.
  I also wonder what will happen if you remove the Seagate and equip the Maxtor, then start with the disks to run RC. I still think that the Maxtor drive has an MBR on it!
  I think that your first course of action is to see if this CD player works or not (independent of WIndows).
