I think I have a virus in my e.mails... have Norton, why it did not work?

Hi Margoxn,

  1. Which e-mail account do you use?
  2. Why do you think that the emails are virus affected? Are you referring to the attachments?
  3. Can you get any warning of virus for mails? Whicg operating system is installed on the computer?

There is no need to scan email, parts and that is done by all modern anti-malware programs such as files are written to the file system of the PC.

Refer to: How can I tell if my computer has a virus?

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

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.

Please post back with more information so that we can help you better.

    It's STUPID search, type something and it gives answers without value. now every time I have to manually type in www.google.com to access this site to enter search info.

  • I have a virus, but where?

    I just started out of Office responses from my contacts and have had a call from a friend saying that I have sent 2 emails in 30mins last that something like this:

    Hey!

    Signed with my email address.

    -----

    I went through all the threads here who say "Mac don't you virus ', but I have one... or something not?

    I have used Clamxav on my two machines, and he called a white.

    My email is through gmail, using mail on the Macs and iPhones, OX10.8.5

    It is a fairly common phenomenon that does not have any type of malicious software on your computer.

    It's a simple matter to send electronic messages of anywhere in the world with a fake "from:" address. The recipient can know who actually sent the message by looking at the header files, but the simplest is to present the source (including the headers) of SpamCop.

    The only other question is why these messages don't seem to go to your friends. It is usually the result of your gmail account, after having been hacked somehow. Could be that you have answered in a phishing e-mail you asking the box enter your username and password or they could just used a brute force method to understand your password after you have found somewhere with e-mail address. Once they are able to connect to your Gmail using WebMail, they have access to all your contacts.  So, I change my password immediately, then connect to mail.gmail.com and select 'Settings' of the gear icon near top right, click on the "Accounts and import" tab and less "grant access to your account:" give of course is not any door account surreptitiously entered. This feature is very convenient when you have a Secretary to deal with your e-mail, but allows easy access to any intruder who manages to get.

  • Outlook Express 6 just ate the value of year of my emails. They seem to have disappeared. This happened after I was asked if I wanted compact (or was it archive?) my emails.

    Outlook Express 6 just ate the value of year of my emails.  They seem to have disappeared.  This happened after I was asked if I wanted compact (or was it archive?) my emails.  All hope of recovery?

    Thank you!

    Please read this in its entirety. It includes the restoration of the trash.
     
     
    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
     
    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
    Why mail disappears:
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
     
    Recovery methods:
     
    If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
     
    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     
    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
     
    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
     
    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
     
    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
     
    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
     
    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
     
    And see:

    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
     
    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 
     
    And backup often.

  • Computer seems infected by a virus

    I am running windows xp family.

    my computer seems infected by a virus. She runs very slowly and I'm unable to access the internet or some programs easily.

    I get the warning message 'disk C is full, there are 0KB available"asking me to free up space by deleting unnecessary programs.
    When I try to do, I get the message "disk C is full, there are 0KB available!"

    (a) free space, and
    (b) remove the security programs to download avg or something similar

    When I turned on the computer, I get the error message
    "ms visual c ++ runtime library runtime error." programc:\programfiles\audible\bin\audibledownloader.exe2
    followed by
    "requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way.

    I also get
    "Download Manager for audio content has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    also when I try to open the internet, you use Mozilla Firefox, I get the message "unable to access the internet, please restore the page.

    any help or advice on how to remove unwanted programs in order to free up space would be welcome.

    Try to download and run the full scan of the system with:

    If you received any error, try using another PC which is clean and upload it to removable media (for example, flash memory) and turn on your PC and press the F8 key several times and chose safe mode, then press on enter and then insert your removable device and run the tools and run the full scan of the system.

    Not on this basis. It's probably that a person's mail and which actually look like it came from your address. This can be done without having access to your e-mail account.

    If they were sent to the people you know, a person can have in your information, and you should change your passwords.
