I lost everything on my machine, including my windows vista Home premium.

It is the first virus that was able to pass my AVG antivirus.

Hello

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.

TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not
check with the other methods below.

  • Problem with opening files and programs after the attack "rogue security."

    Earlier this year, I met a rogue security program called Windows Security 2011. I had removed it, but I'll still have some serious problems. I found another user here, who had a similar encounter: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_programs/exedirectory-file-association-problems/5dcd9044-8b57-43e0-a3bc-0c966326f0da

    It's exactly the same problem that I have now, as well as some sections of the control panel not working not at all, but there is no answer about what to do after the malware has been removed. Is there a way this can be fixed now?

  • Recover files accidentally deleted after use RM - RF

    Hello. 6 days there, I'm trying to clean my trash, but an error pops up "the operation cannot be completed because the item is in use. After trying a few method, I found a solution using the: cd ~ /. Trash; rm - rf *. instead of cleaning my trash can (which is not), tht command delete all my means files.i all. with the exception of applications. Is it possible to get it back? or cancel the process? I'm using roadmap and always works right now. And im not save all the files and run only the roadmap for the last 6 days. Thank you.

    Without a backup, you will lose a bit of data. You must be very careful if you don't know exactly what you do on the command line that you discovered.

    Let the run file recovery and see what he can get it for you. The only other real option apart from another commercial file recovery program (I have no reason to believe that one is better than any other) is to turn off the machine and send it out to a professional data recovery service. Get ready for a Bill in the thousands, however, and no guarantee of recovered data.

    Hello

    And all the photos to open Notepad in hieroglyphs jeeperish but if I open them with "Sendto" Irfanview or MS photo editor pictures appear.

    Hi Nick,

    Please contact Microsoft Community. I understand that you have a problem with opening the programs of text and pictures after the computer upgrade to Windows 8. I appreciate your efforts to solve this problem, I'll probably help you solve this problem.

    This problem could occur if the default applications are not set correctly.

    I suggest you read the article that will help define the default applications that Windows automatically uses when you open a particular type of file, such as a song, film, photo or Web page.

    Choose the apps Windows uses by default

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an up-to-date report of the issue so that we can help you further.

    Deleted file recovery can recover incomplete files, i.e. the part of these files may be missing.  Recover deleted files is much more reliable if recovery of a backup, instead of using recovery software.

    These things depend on the operating system and the file system.

    One thing, you can see: open one of these files damaged with a text editor, and then make sure that the constant % PDF is somewhere in the first 1024 bytes.

    I have a wireless home network. When I got Windows 7 Home premium 32-bit on my desk - my XP laptop was able to share files and folders.

    Today, I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Now - my Windows 7 Desktop can access files on my XP laptop - BUT - I was no longer able to access to any shared files and folders on the Windows 7 desktop.
