Registry errors after virus/malware infection

MT computer has been infected recently, and although I managed to get rid of the virus, the damage, what he did to my registry is stopping me from using my security (System Mechanic Pro) program
I ran the diagnostic tool, and he picked up the registry errors:
Registry errors found:
"HKCR\CLSID\ {0F0F094B-B01C-4091-A14D-DD0CD807711A} \VersionIndependentProgID" key is missing.
"HKCR\CLSID\ {0F0F094B-B01C-4091-A14D-DD0CD807711A} \ProgID" key is missing.
"HKCR\CLSID\ {0F0F094B-B01C-4091-A14D-DD0CD807711A} \InprocServer32" key is missing.
"HKCR\CLSID\ {0F0F094B-B01C-4091-A14D-DD0CD807711A} \InprocServer32" key is missing.
"HKCR\CLSID\ {0F0F094B-B01C-4091-A14D-DD0CD807711A} \InprocServer32" key is missing.
Key 'HKCR\CLSID\ {0F0F094B-B01C-4091-A14D-DD0CD807711A}' is missing.

How repair/replace these entries?
My computer runs on Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.

Hey Sapphire,

Your computer can still be infected if you have not run antivirus, try everything first to update your antivirus and run a full scan of the system in safe mode. Once you scan your system, try running system mechanic. AFAIK, you can copy the mechanic system to any folder on any drive and it will work / recreate its registry entries if you do not have to reinstall. What you can do is to try to run mechanic system mode administrator-> click right mechanical executable file of the system (in the program folder) and select run as.

You may be prompted to enter the key to license again.

I hope this helps.

  • Toshiba laptop start registry error after manual stop

    original title: Toshiba laptop start registry error after manual stop - HELP!

    Hello, I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista.  Yesterday it froze completely upward and I had to manually close (hold the power button until stop you him) twice.  The second time when I tried to restart the came Toshiba screen, then the screen with the little scroll down bar, and then it went black, waited for a while, then flashes a bluescreen with a written up VERY quickly and cycles back to the Toshiba screen.  This time after the scroll bar it gives me white saying the writing system could not restart, and I want to start normally or startup repair. If I restart it through loading files, trying to fix it and said then he wasn't able to fix it and when I look at the details there something on a registry error.

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

     

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.

    Hello

    About 2 weeks back, I had to contact my business anti-virus software to help me with a problem of PC viruses presumed and it turns, 3 files on my pc were infected - 1 being a registry key. As part of their process of cleaning, they have deleted all 3 files (I don't know what registry key has been infected) but since then my machine acted strange... first of all, my laptop had an activated version of Windows 7 professional since late March / early April of 2012, but given that these 3 files were deleted , it gives me the message "this computer is not running genuine windows. Also I am not able to open the windows sound mixer.
    A deletion of registry keys could cause this scenario? Is there a way to fix things to make my PC work as before WITHOUT a format/reinstall everything? Note When I open the properties of the system, windows confirms the OS has been activated.
    Thank you

  • Question about reinstalling Windows after virus/malware crashed the system

    OK, I'm not exactly super tech savvy but I can manage.  Here's my dilemma.  I clicked a bad link in a Yahoo search and started getting all sorts of flashing messages that my laptop has been infected.  The next thing I know... Windows (I have Vista) crashed and does not now.

    Question #1 - so... can I spend $85 and make it my buddy to the computer to reinstall Vista... or can I invest in upgrading to Windows 7?

    Question #2-si I do it myself, can I just go ahead an installation of Windows 7 since I have no operating system on it because Vista won't load?

    I'd appreciate any help I can get with that.  I really think that whatever it is, I would be smart to buy Windows so I have to drive since it is not come with the laptop or my all-in-one.

    Thank you!!!

    Hello

    If necessary, you can record all necessary data (files) by putting the hard drive as 2nd in another computer
    or in an external box and copy of the data on the removable memory (CD, DVD, USB key or)
    others).

    The physical disks in Vista can be purchased cheaply system machine since you already own windows.
    Ask them about Windows 7 as they could also make a case here. Normally, it would be more advantageous for you
    to buy the disks of Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 (unless the system manufacturer has a special offer).
    Before upgrade you to Windows 7 make sure that the system and the software will run you on it.

    To run the Upgrade Advisor you will need Vista work. Check with your system manufacturer support
    and/or support of any specific manufacturer of the device to make sure the drivers are available for your system.

  • Anti-virus 2008 / 2009 malware infection...

    It seems that there was more in addition to the infection spreading on the internet.  Then. without further ADO, here are some steps to help prevent the worst.

    If you see the software on your system... warning you of all these "infections" and "registry errors '... IGNORE IT!

    1. do not install the software... in fact, do not click on anything in windows... closing the application is very well, but it just goes to show again.

    2. NEVER put in your credit card information in a program that has been installed on the system.  If you go buy a software, buy it at the store... a valid and respected website, or call the service.

    3. go on the internet... go to Google.  Looking for a program called MalwareBytes.  Download (it is only 2.9 MB in size), install, update and run the quick scan option.  Follow the prompts on the screen to remove the boxes all the selected (in red).

    4. restart the system.

    Don't panic if you have chosen to install the software... the above steps are still a viable option.  However, if you purchased the program, get in touch with your credit card of the Bank and block the card immediately.

    I don't mean to cause a panic here... but this program is causing many problems... better to help inform the community as possible.

    Download SuperAntiSpyware from superantispyware.com

    Download MalwareAntiBytes as well.

    They are both free. Run each one separately and then restart after removing infections.

    You can consider starting another thread/topic just for your problem if things don't mix with Tarkin75 (Tarkin75 has a different problem).

    If your system starts without complaining and you are just having trouble getting on the Internet, here are some things to check after relieving your system of malware:

    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.  On most home 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 settings of the system which 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 it still does not work, check your settings are still in place after a restart and then release and renewal IP of your network device configuration settings.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  • A backup can be infected by viruses/malwares?

    Original title: Windows backup.

    A virus/malware free at the back of the folder windows hard disk even can be infected by viruses and malware.

    Or this type of backup is immune to the virus. ?

    Thank you.

    Hello, Ivan

    Essentially, if a virus/malware program is running, any resource available to Windows can be affected by the latter.

    If your computer is clean and you create the backup on an external drive, disconnect the drive, then being infected, the external hard drive is not affected.
    If you plug the outside while the infected windows are started, there is the risk of backups being affected.
    If you start a recovery / Windows DVD to reinstall Windows or restore an image backup and you plug your outside, you should be fine.

  • Ethernet and Wireless NIC inoperative; can not be uninstalled; It comes after virus removal

    After a virus removal, which did not seem to remove the files that would make this kind of problem (in fact he only renamed infected files), my Broadcom network to the ethernet port interface cards (1) and (2) wireless networks and (3) nVidia network controller are inoperative.  (Exclamation point in Device Manager under Network Interfaces error 39 ' no driver not loaded"of course; all implemented by a device MS_PASSTHRUMP driver).  The system is a laptop running WinXP SP2 (with its double chips AMD processor THAT XP SP3 installs successfully not when I tried it).

    Just by the way, the virus scan from a Linux bootable CD based, which seems to be a great idea to prevent some nifty behavior that virii have evolved until today, when they can actually run out of danger.  I wish I knew why the renaming of non-critical files where virus signatures have been found could cause this kind of problem with all the network adapters on the system.  The only linked folder links to networking was in the HP wireless Assistant and I have always used the Windows installation for the control of the wireless connection. (More later on this scanner).

    Additional verification shows that any problem 3 NICs have 'pilot' charged by Windows (if you ask "Driver Details").  For 2 of the 3, there is another very similar device (the exception is the driver of the Mini IP WAN), with their drivers loaded, from which you can determine the driver files.  All driver files are present (especially in the Win/Sys32/Drivers/folder of course).  Non-working devices have all "»" added to their names, to be a unique name, I guess. "  Windows seems to ignore the other copies for use, but does not seem to deal with the extent of their drivers OK loading.

    I tried to disable the problem devices and reboot, but that solves nothing.  If I try to uninstall any of these devices of problem (so that they can be reinstalled?), this operation fails, a message "failed to uninstall; may device is used for the start. "  There is a boot in the BIOS of the ethernet option, but that is disabled in the BIOS.  I wonder if these three devices have been added by the virus as a "shell" around actual devices and drivers for viral use?  If so, just be able to remove the devices of hull could them might solve the problem. with the exception of the hooks, they could have placed in the original device drivers.

    I also tried to reinstall these devices from the files of data recovery of manufacturer (HP) and that seems to unfold, but does not change anything about the netwrok connectivity.

    Things work to the point that a ping to itself (127.0.0.1) succeeds, so stack IP seems to works, but trying to ping the gateway router (which connects the laptop), fails - I used the ethernet (wired) connection in time.

    Tried to go back to a previous restore point, but who also does not work.  The Windows shell commits a violation of memory protection (each time) when you try to restart using (any) previous restore point, so the system restore undoes any changes he might have done could have fixed the issues above.

    Many details above.  I am looking for no idea regarding: (a) what could happen here, (b) how the network problem cards make installable again to get rid of them, (c) any other thing that might apply.

    Thank you.

    =======================

    November 5, 2009

    Problem solved.  Here's how.

    The blackout "Network Interface Cards" were virtual devices, created by the Virus.

    Steps, I made before the previous post (above):
    (1) unplug the machine infected of all access to the internet.
    (2) on another computer, I went to http://www.free-av.com/, click on the download tab and under "Free tools" at the bottom, chosen Avira AntiVir Rescue System.  Then I downloaded it, run, and it burned a bootable "rescue CD".
    (3) has taken the CD for infected people kicked and machine from him.  If you cannot open your CD with power off, another way is to start the system, insert the CD, then restart the system.  Pay attention to all messages early in the boot process before Windows loads.  Depending on your system configuration, you may need to change the boot sequence so that the CD drive is checked before the hard drive.  It's usually pretty easy to do, once you pressed the right key during startup to indicate you want to take control of this small point.
    (4) I forgot the exact option here once the CD boot system, but select that you want to run the virus scan.  It took about 2 hours on my laptop.  The initial default is report results only; I suggest to change that to rename infected files (which will add an XXX at the end of any "infected" file).  The analysis is quite complete, but can be overagressive at times.  It is not a complete scan, given that the big Compact files assessed completely.  Recording on paper for future reference: all of the alerts that were generated, the path and name of the file and the reason for the alert.  Some will probably be partial matches to the viral bosses identified as 'contains a model of detection' (a partial match suspicious), rather than 'contains the threat XYZ' (which means that all paired for identification).  Some of the files "suspicious" may be essential to the operation of your system and you want to UN-rename them back to their original name.  If in doubt, check with someone who knows the PCs.
    (5) now you should have a system contains it a neutralized virus to work for removal.  That's where I was when I filed the report.  My major issue remaining before cleaning the pieces of virus, which was now there is no internet access, no cable, no wireless on the infected system.

    OK, so what next?  My infection cause a virus named ndisvvan.sys driver.  If you also have this bad actor, then you may want to read in detail.  If not, then the following may, or do not apply to your case.

    (6) first, in Windows Explorer (let us remember that we are in Win XP), click on tools, then Folder Options... and select the view tab.  Go to the bottom of the list and select "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "hide the file Extensions known Types.  We will need to go into the hidden folders and know exactly the type of file that we deal with.  I guess it goes without saying that yu has to be a system administrator for what to do next.  Win Vista it makes it much more difficult, since sometimes the administrator has no access to all the files that have been installed by a different administrator ID.  It must mess with you give permission, or appropriate, the files you need to access.  I suggest to make a new folder ("VirusParts") to store all the files that you find on the virus, until you are ready to delete them forever.
    (7) first of all, open the file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS (now called HOSTSXXX) and move this file to your VirusParts folder.  This part of your internet access is now unlocked.
    (8) then go to C:\WINDOWS\inf, and browse for the files netsf.inf, netsf. PNF, netsf_m.inf and netsf_m.PNF.  These are the files that most likely loading drivers virus in your system.  Having a peek inside .inf files can help you identify some of the changes made by the virus to your registry.  The virus probably also created a new service on your machine.  In my case, the service was named Passthru, and device to implement ms_passthrump (Microsoft Passthru Miniport).  These names are actually from a document from Microsoft that explains how to develop programs of virtual device to filter the data goes or network devices.  If these are directly related to your virus, the program driver specified inside them will be none other than our ndisvvan.sys enemy.  Research in .inf files (these are files text; the.) The PNF files are binary, not text) can help identify the service or services that the virus added to your system, which are now (essentially) a part of the operating system that starts automatically with Windows.  Since there is no virus in the .inf or the. The PNF files, they will not be detected by an antivirus.  All .inf files sort in order of the date and time of creation.  Suspect not with a close date of one of the files netsf.inf and netsf_m.inf.  Windows compile .inf files in the. PNF files, which can occur a few days later, when windows moves to this task.  If you find these files, move them to your VirusParts folder where they can not be recharged.
    (9) to start the Panel (from the start menu), double-click 'System', then select the Hardware tab, then click the Device Manager button.  Expand the category of Network Interfaces, and some of them should have an exclamation point in a yellow circle showing.  If you right-click on each one and select Properties, you should see an error 39 (driver not found; the antivirus program renamed their ndisvvan.sys file).  If you click on the other tabs in the properties, you can find the device is something like ROOT\MS_PASSTHRUMP\0000.  Now, you know that you are very likely to something.  I had three devices affected with numbers 0000, 0001 and 0002.  Carefully note the names of the Network Interfaces.  Two of my friends were identical to the names of other Interfaces of network but with "»" added.  The interface of third-party network with a problem was named 'Miniport network EXPANDED (IP) -'.  But there is no corresponding legitimate network interface of the same name.  Common Council to recharge a bad driver is uninstall, no new hardware detection and let windows reload from .inf file specifications.  However, if you try to uninstall these interfaces (those with here in exclamation points) Windows tells you that they can't be uninstalled and "perhaps it is used to start" or other similar term.
    (10) this part is a bit tricky.  Ask someone who knows how to work with the Windows registry, if you're not on this topic.  Mistakes here can have disastrous results.  Enough said?  If you search the registry for "passthru", you will get several matches, mostly related in one way or another for the virus and his new 'service '.
    Under a path like HKEY_USER_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\MS_PASSTHRUMP\0000, you will find information as the name of the interface (make sure it matches the name that you noted earlier) and manages a definition of tha of the pilot program.  For example {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} \0014.  Do the same for MS_PASSTHRUMP\0001 (probably {... (10318} \0015) and \0002 (probably {... (10318} \0016).  The string of numbers and letters within the {...} identifies a particular program for windows, and the \0014 a particular use of the program {... 10318} is actually a standard part of windows and not a part of the virus.  However, uses \0014 \0015 and \0016 of this program have probably added by the virus.  Save the links: MS_PASSTHRUMP\0000 related to {... 10318} \0014.  Now, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Class and you will find a long list of class programs identified by their number {...}.  I suggest from the end of the list and the expansion of each occurrence of our {... 10318} in the list, one by one.  If you select the subitems in the extension of this list, each device has a name.  You are looking for Netwrok Interface devices.  Under the instance of our {... network interface devices 10318} it will be to the less 0014 points and probably at least 0016 (based on the links that we just recorded). 0014 resembled a legitimate wireless LAN interface, so I don't mess with this definition.  However 0015 and 0016 looked like they have been added by the virus.  Inside of each specification, you will find a key named "characteristic".  Its value is what prevents us from uninstall the network interface in the Device Manager.  Its value is a hexadecimal value that integrates several indicators for Windows.  In particular, the value 0 x 20 is the bit that specifies that the device cannot be uninstalled by the user, and 0x08 tells windows ' hide ' this device of the user.  Almost all of my devices had characteristics codes 0 x 29, including those created by the virus.  (I don't know; others might have been modified by the virus, but that seems a bit unlikely).  In any case, for the interfaces added by the virus, network we need to change their characteristic values of 0 x 29 something like 0 x 1 (you can also display the device).  Note that changing the characteristic value is a reversible operation that is likely to harm anything in the system.  We can always go back and change it back to 0 x 29, if we have not uninstalled the device.  In my case, I put the characteristics values on 0 x 1 for 0015-0016 devices, which looked like, they were added by the virus.  I did this in the CurrentControlSet control set and for good measure repeated it in ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 registry.  (Windows retains backups of critical information in the registry, in the different ControlSets and creates the CurrentControlSet Control at the system startup set.)
    (11) now return the Control Panel, then system, then the Hardware tab and then the Device Manager button.  Now you should be able to uninstall the network with exclamation points interfaces in the yellow circles, those we checked earlier was connected to the ndisvvan.sys driver of virus, using the MS_PASSTHRUMP interfaces for Passthru Windows service.  Since it's virtual devices, and we removed their .inf and. The PNF files, they're not coming after we uninstall them.
    (12) now, we have removed the network interface drivers that are added by the virus, but legitimate real pilots are not connected in the system correctly, so our internet connection still does not work.  We need to re - install the drivers of legitimate network interface.  To do this, in the device, right-click Manager and uninstall the device controller network legitimate.  On my HP laptop, it was named "nVidia nForce Network Controller".  After uninstallation, in the window menu in Device Manager, click Actions, and then select "Scan for hardware changes".  Windows should report that she has found a new network interface device and that it is set up, and in a minute or two, it is ready for use.  At this point, on my system, both the wired ethernet port and wireless LAN bustled again.

    I still have to go around cleaning the files renamed by the antivirus program and get them out of the PC, but at least the PC is now working without virus.  The virus may also have damaged the process of restoration of the system, which still fails to restore the previous system configuration.  (Windows Explorer always creates an exception address on reboot).  I still need to work on this problem.  The virus 'off' system restore for all drives by using a parameter, however the TWEAKUI tool (I think it was what I used) allowed me to override this setting and control of group policy.

    There are a lot of viruses out there who adopts this method to take control of low level of connections from the PC to the internet, while allowing to download more viruses and keyloggers in the future in respect of the remote control.  Some of these viruses attach also to the many many files the user program.  In this case it has little alternative except to wipe the drive and start over with a clean, install since often these files cannot be cleaned.  Fortunately, my infection was not serious, and it was possible to remove the virus as described above.  I hope this description helps somebody out there.

    This answer is just a formality to change the resolved state.

  • Have a virus/malware and cannot open windows mail and how export/copy the measages

    I should have gotten a virus/malware/trojan, which affects the connection and does not allow me to open the control panel, or windows mail.

    I need to know how to copy/backup/export the e-mail messages that are still there. Of course, I can't use the export function since I can't open windows mail.

    Hello

    • You receive an error message when opening Control Panel or Windows mail?
    • What were the changes made before the issue occur?

    You can view these methods:

     
    Method 1:
     
    I suggest you make a system full scan just to be sure and check.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
     
    Note:
    The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
    Method 2:
    NOTE:
    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.
    You might try the following and see if it helps to get Windows Mail open.
    You can delete all entries in the registry for Windows Mail. The junk e-mail filter information have been corrupted.
     
    a. Click Start, in the search box, type regedit. Then choose continue to leave and then read the help file.
     
    b. then highlight this registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail
    right-click and choose export to back it up. You can save it to your desktop. It will save the key as a measure of protection.
     
    c. make sure that Windows Mail is closed and right click on the key again, and then choose Remove.
    d. then try to start Windows Mail and see if it is now open.
  • MERGER OF THE ACE TROJAN/WORM / VIRUS (?) INFECT INTERNET EXPLORER, NO HELP AVAILABLE ANYWHERE

    MERGER OF THE ACE TROJAN/WORM / VIRUS (?) INFECT INTERNET EXPLORER. It is a strange malware, which, so far, has been incurable, it changes the homepage at http: / / fusionaceenterprises. which cannot be reset by any means. Even if the registry entry is deleted, it is restored. removing internet Explorer, and the installation of new copy of microsoft site also do not help. After that removal of several attempts it disables the option to change home page. Even if the drive is formatted, it is reported to come back. What about just internet explore and not any other browser, opera or firefox. It is a direct challenge to microsoft and its claims of secuity. It is there any help available anywhere. Its time microsoft should work and provide users with solution.

  • Registry errors

    I've only used a computer for 2 years so I don't know much about them.  I have more than 500 registry errors that must be fixed and gain speed and freezes on my computer.  I live on a fixed income and need to know if there is a program that I can buy that will help these problems.  I have AVAST security paid program and there are the files they can analyze only jackets on and not the content, also left programs I had here and removed fragments.  I am not computer savvy and I would really appreciate the help, and I'd rather not iyogi.  Thank you

    @ Matthew_Ha please post a reply when you move a message to get into the new forum. Ping EmilyF if you aren't aware of this. Thank you.
     
    @ BonnieDeffinbaugh what suggested program you have over 500 registry errors? Whatever you do, do not use a registry cleaner.
     
    Download and run the free versions of these programs after checking the updates.
     
     
     

    Run a defragmentation when finished.
