Sirefef infection on Windows 7 laptop
My computer laptop windows 7 has been infected by sirefef.
Security Essentials detected 3 Trojan horses, but then the computer restarts before that I'm able to do anything else. It seems that the virus made the laptop restarts until the virus can be treated by microsoft essentials.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thank you
When the computer restarts, try to go to Safe Mode to see if you can then run the scan then. Press F8 all the seconds until the menu should appear so you can select Safe Mode.
Hope hope this helps.

How can I locate and remove malware from my Windows XP laptop?
Last week, my Windows XP laptop (at work) became infected with one or several programs of virus and malware (including a program of Netsky).
I ran my McAfee virus scan and removed the virus that we found. When the Netsky pop-ups started to happen, I ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (mbam - setup.exe) by following the instructions in our IT Department. When the Netsky guest continued, I have downloaded and run W32.Netsky FixTool of Symantec 1.13.0 who stopped the guests.
This morning, I met 'Update KB977165' failure in the startup problem. From what I read this problem seems to be limited to "infected" computers I just finished rerunning McAfee and Symantec Malwarebytes with no infections found.
My COMPUTER service feels that the mbam - setup.exe should have solved the problem. Whenever I look at using malicious software removal on the internet, I get more ads for questionable software applications than anything.
Is there a detection and removal of malware simple tool that doesn't cost a fortune (as FREE)?

EDIT: A week later and it seems in fact that 99.9% of Windows XP users who encountered a BSOD after installing KB977165 see the effects of a W32/Alureon rootkit infection.

Hello
I suggest you analyze your computer Microsoft Safety Scanner, it will help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
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.

Why has my connection AirPort Extreme recently stopped with my Tablet Android and Windows 7 laptop, but connects very well with all Apple devices?
What exact model of AirPort Extreme do you have? Either have your tablet or laptop Win7 been updated recently? They were both able to connect before and not now OR they were never able to connect? Can the laptop Win7 access Internet when connected by Ethernet? One of these devices have problems connecting to other networks Wi - Fi?

HP pavilion 15 laptop: update for Windows 10 laptop has removed Bluetooth?
Product number: F4T58EA #ABU
After that I updated my windows 8.1 to windows 10 laptop remove bluetooth.
There is no option in the settings to enable or disable. Nothing to do with bluetooth has completely disapperaed.
I looked through device controller speaker, but there wasn't anything that had name bluetooths. I also looked through the computer management services and found two bluetooth, Bluetooth Handsfree and service support of Bluetooth services. they were both the value of manual start and weren't running. I started them and implement autostart. It makes no changes to the problem though.
I think the problem is my bluetooth drivers are outdated and maybe I just need to reinstall drivers. But I don't know what my bluetooth card is. Update of drivers for other hardware has solved one problem with my PC after windows 10 updated.
It's just the Windows bluetooth service.
Each PC has this programming if it has bluetooth or not.
Al, I can tell you, it's that your laptop has never come with BT

I have a new computer (Windows 7) Dell, a new printer (HP 3050 has) and a laptop with Windows XP. I can't get my laptop to print. I installed the software. Help
original title: NetworkingYou use the HP 3050 has as a wireless printer, or have you connected it to the Windows 7 computer via USB?
You have a wireless router? What brand and model?
Assuming the printer is wireless, what happened when you put the CD in the Windows XP laptop? Although these printers can be installed manually, it is much easier to let the installer of HP to do. This is page 3 of the "reference Guide" (emphasis added):
You can share the printer HP Deskjet with other computers which are also connected to your home network. If the HP Deskjet is already connected to your network home and installed on a computer on the network, for each additional computer you install the HP Deskjet software. During the installation of the software, the software will automatically detect the HP Deskjet printer on the network. Because the HP Deskjet is already connected to your network, there is no need to configure it again when you install the HP Deskjet software on other computers.
Please describe all the steps you have taken and the symptoms you have. If you receive error messages, enter them completely, without paraphrasing.
