Recently lost data because of the "Windows Recovery" XP virus

Greetings,
I have recently all my data because of the virus: "Windows Recovery. When I go to start, programs. everything is gone, also no photos, videos or music. I tried to restore the system to a different date, but it won't let me.  Moreover, the basket is empty. I removed the virus using "Malwarebytes... but impossible to recover the files. Please, any advice >
Eric

Hi Tropicguy,

Like JoseIbarra said, it could be that the virus has caused your folders/files/programs show hidden.  I suggest checking to see if they are there, after doing the following:

I hope this helps!

    How can I access the Windows Recovery Console. The State of KBs Microsoft it may be accessessed to start with the DVD of the OS. However, you provide OS DVD only Toshiba recovery disks. When I boot them it gives only the option to erase all data and restore the original state.

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio F10 running Windows 7 32 bit.

    The reason why I need the recovery console is due to a breakdown of chkdsk which results now it running whenever I start up and hanging each time. Other Articals MS say I can get out of this infinite loop by using the Windows Recovery Console.

  • The Internet is not accessible after the Windows Recovery virus eliminated

    Original title: Recovery Windows Virus eliminated but now no internet... what the

    I got the Windows Recovery virus and my son has deleted successfully and that he found all the files and I have the office back.  I can connect to the internet if I use another laptop but I can't connect using the infected computer.  I have contacted my provider, but they can help as I have connection so there is no problem.  I'm currently on a laptop, attached to my modem, so I know it's working.  When I use my computer and try to connect it comes up saying "Internet explorer cannot display the webpage".  There is an option to diagnose connection problems, but it does not work for me because I have a connection.  Y at - it is something I need to fix on my original computer to allow the signal through it to say: a registry or something.

    If you see stuff like this (after got rid of the malware):

    Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage
       
    The most likely causes:
    You are not connected to the Internet.
    The Web site encounters problems.
    There could be a typing error in the address.

    We will check your network connection properties.

    Some malware will alter these settings and your anti malware software can't tell if you have changed the malware changed them or so, after removal of infections, it will leave just the settings as he finds them (it is usually a good thing), but can leave your disabled Internet access.
     
    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Inetcpl.cpl

    Click OK to launch the Internet Properties Control Panel, choose connections, LAN settings.

    Or, in Internet Explorer click on tools, Options, connections, LAN settings.

    These settings control your Internet access for all browsers.

    (If you make settings, write them down so you can undo changes if you must)

    On most environments, not independent, there will be check automatically detect settings and
    the other boxes are (as Proxy Server) is disabled.

    Automatically detect the setting checked =
    Use the automatic configuration script = unchecked
    Use a proxy server for your LAN = not checked

    Make changes, then click OK, OK to save the settings.

    Check your settings for how your network adapter gets its IP and DNS settings.  Most home page
    systems, these parameters must be defined for the system will get the settings automatically.

    If you have another system on your network that works, you can compare these settings with the
    parameters of the system that is not a work and make adjustments.

    Click Start, settings, Control Panel, network connections, and then select your current network connection.

    On the general tab, click Properties.

    In the drop down in the Middle, find and highlight the selection of Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

    In the Internet Protocol Properties window, the usual selections are to get the IP and DNS settings
    automatically.  Select the following two options:

    Obtain an IP address automatically
    Get a DNS server address automatically

    The rest of the options on the screen should then be grayed out/not available.

    Make changes, then click OK, OK to save the settings.

    Restart your computer and test your connection.

    If that is fixed, follow these steps:

    Click Start, settings, Control Panel, network connections, and then select your current network connection.

  • is not the window Defender sufficient virus protection?

    Windows 7 repeat myself that I should get antivirus protection... is not the window Defender sufficient virus protection?

    No, Defender (on W7) by itself is not enough. Get an AV package as well. There are a lot of those who are free to choose to include MSE.

    Note that if you install MSE, it replaces the defender and defender will be disabled.

    PS - Defender on W8 is not the same as the Defender on W7

  • lost user account after using the windows recovery disk.

    Help, please. I turned on my computer and found that windows vista could not start due to a currupt file.

    I have tried rebooting several times without success and ended by using the samsung recovery disc to get windows vista to work.

    I had to create a new user account and have been able to find my original account on the C drive but don't know how to restore it so I don't have start with a new account from scratch.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Information, the original version of windows is now called windows.old and it is here that I want to use the user account.

    Hi Geek teenager,

    Surly there is a way to restore the user account that is sitting in windows.old on the C: drive, instead of having to reinstall all the programs that I never downloaded?

    Programs need to be reinstalled from the original media: CD, DVD, download, etc.

    You can recover data from the windows.old folder, but not programs.

    Set up a new account.

  • Missing data when running the PC recovery

    Original title: Urgent!

    Computer illiterate, I am, when the recovery of the PC was on my screen, I thought I SHOULD provide answers to the questions that were in front of me, so with that, I changed the name of the computer, etc..  The computer went to do his thing, when finished, I went to connect & becomes quickly devastated.  Everything I knew she had changed!  All files, documents, photos, music, etc were more visible.  I don't want to use the word "gone", I hope I can get information to quickly resolve this nightmare.  So, how can I go back to the way my computer was before PC recovery questionnaire?  (I think now, after the damage is done, that I was not attentive & I could have, should have, accepted the information that was right in front of me & continuous) & No, I can't use "System Restore" that the computer has now to October ONLY.  When I click on the arrow for the previous month, it does nothing, everything continues to show "October 2012.  HELP ME PLEASE!  I recently transferred more photos on the computer, some of them for my daughters prom & I'm so hate myself right now.  More than usual.  Thank you for your time.

    Deena Landstrom

    If you have done what we could call a 'factory reset' and, like Richard, I suspect that you have. If you're lucky, a program called Recuva has been reported elsewhere on this forum as being useful to retrieve the data in these circumstances, but there is no guarantee a recovery of data, not even partially.

    As Richard says, also, the only other possibility is expensive professional data recovery services.

    Regardless of the route decide you, less you use the PC before any recovery attempt, more chances you will get something back.

  • Why have I lost icon paperclip on the Windows Mail Preview pane, and font is changed?

    I suddenly lost the paper clip icon in the right corner of the Windows mail preview pane, and details giving email policies changed. Now I can't click the icon to see the attachments, but must open the e-mail and view attachments in this way.

    Migration to Windows Live Mail is a possibility, Yes, but you must know that all is not necessarily well with IE9 installed either in Windows Live Mail: see http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/82750b30-a346-e011-9575-d8d385dcbb12

    Support for IE8 will continue as long as the version of Windows, in which he is running is guaranteed (and support for Win7 will continue for many, many years until more recently released Service Pack is installed).

    Same fo WinXP SP3 (and IE6, IE7 & IE8) Extended Support will continue until April 2014.

    If the icon available in the preview pane trombone is so important to you, stay with IE8 in the foreseeable future.

    And note that the attachments are always accessible in Windows Mail w/IE9 installed once you open the message. And if "read all messages in plain text" is turned on, the "bug of police" will not appear either.

  • Recovery disks won't be finished reinstalling attract the Windows recovery error

    I have a HP pc only to return some malware a few weeks. Tried to remove it and restart got the Startup Repair. Who ran, but received a message that the problem could not be resolved automatically. Tried several times but without success.

    Then I tried the system restore, which seemed to work. It should restart the process and I got a screen that says Windows Recovery error. Gave me a few options but also safe mode start Windows normally. If so start normally, just screen becomes black and hangs there. I tried in safe mode, a list of drivers starts, then stops at crcdisk.sys and I get a box that says that I can't get into safe mode because Windows has not finished the installation.

    Then I tried the HP recovery disks to restore the factory settings. Crossed reinstall it without problems and clicked on Finish to reboot and continue. It goes through the process some, restarts a few times and the final reboot immediately comes the same Windows error recovery screen. I tried several times and made sure the only cool things are the monitor, the keyboard, the mouse and the cord. I also tried to remove one of the memory two sticks and the sound card that is not the original. Memory sticks are original.

    I thought it was the failure of hard drive and bought a new one last nite and was installed. Ran the recovery disks appeared once again, as he worked but got the same error Windows Recovery screen after a reboot.

    Any ideas of what I can do? I can't go in safe mode at all.

    Thank you!

    Edit - I forgot to mention that I have managed to get into the manufacturers menu and delete the original hard drive and tried to do the reinstall, but got the same error.

    Fixed it got! Found the answer in another thread here. It's a problem witht Nvidia Geforce card I have and the DVI output. Think an update or something hit malware but all I had to do was remove the video card, plug a VGA instead of DVI cable and I was able to complete reinstall it! Everything works except the sound now. Trying to get that fixed and reinstall the video card later today.

  • Interactive report returns misleading data because of the limit ROWNUM

    Hi, we have relied on the internal decision-making interactive reports widespread in our society, and they have been very popular. However, a user has found an inconsistency of data when sorting to a report because the ROWNUM limit: APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT is applied before the user requested the ORDER BY clause. We run Apex version 3.2.0.00.27 on a 10.2.0.4 database.

    Request quotes from our application IR returns citing custom and the number of lines by default is 100 (and is editable by the user). The user wants to see the most recent citations, so he chose the column heading "Date of creation" and simply applied a descending filter. The last quote returned was dated last week. However, if he has applied an additional filter of "date of creation last week", he sees today date and for most of the current quotation lines.

    When I ran on its IR application debugging, I see that the ROWNUM limit is applied first, followed in ORDER BY. This means that the database retrieves the x first lines that match the provided parameters and then orders the result set. However, this isn't what the user meant, he wanted the first lines of an ordered set.

    This is the result of the query to debug (deleted community because it is long):
    select 
           "QUOTE_NUMBER",
           "CUSTOMER",
           "CUST_CONTACT",
           "QUOTE_STATUS",
           "TOTAL_PRICE",
           "TOTAL_WEIGHT",
           "WHSE",
           "SHIP_DATE",
           "PO_NUMBER",
           "ORACLE_REFERENCE",
           "INSIDE_SALESREP",
           "OUTSIDE_SALESREP",
           "CREATION_DATE",
           "ID",
           "ORA_CUST_ID",
           "CUST_CONTACT_ID",
           count(*) over () as apxws_row_cnt
     from (
    select  *  from (
    SELECT 
      kh.id,

     ( ......... more sql goes here )
    
    AND k2_customers_pkg.get_outside_salesrep_number(kh.ora_site_id)||'%' LIKE :P64_OUTSIDE_SALES||'%'
    AND kh.whse_code like :P64_WAREHOUSES||'%'
    AND ((1=
        CASE WHEN :P64_ITEM_ID IS NULL THEN
            1
        ELSE
            (SELECT 1
               FROM k2_quote_lines kl
               JOIN k2_ingredients ki
                 ON ki.quote_line_id=kl.id
              WHERE (1=1
                AND kh.id=kl.quote_id
                AND ki.ora_item_id=:P64_ITEM_ID AND ROWNUM=1))
        END)

        ))
    )  r
    ) r where rownum <= to_number(:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT) 
     order by "CREATION_DATE" DESC,"QUOTE_NUMBER" DESC
    However, what the user must have the ORDER BY applied first, then the limit. I realize performance can be affected, but users are now alarmed that they cannot trust these reports. I'm tempted to connect a SR with Oracle on it.

    Any ideas on that? What is this problem fixed in 4.0?

    Thank you, Moritz Wolf

    Hi Wolf,

    I don't think that the problem is with the number of rows displayed. I think that it is a function of the attribute of the ratio "number of lines". And as assistance at the level of the elements of this attribute indicates "defines the maximum number of rows in the query. Note that this attribute impact on performance. Get fewer lines can improve performance and get thousands of lines can adversely affect performance. »

    You can set the maximum number of rows to an artificially high - greater number that we'll never be your total number of lines. But this does not alter the fact that the ORDER BY still apply on the outer part of your query.

    Disconnect your SATA drive, re - connect. Make sure that the connection is all set up correctly.

    If possible, connect the SATA drive to another PC (only if possible) and check for the presence of the IDF.

    Then run the Startup Repair.

    Also consider a check disk running.
