Suspected virus / malware

My first post was yesterday and I have quoted me this Council instead.  We had received warnings of Vista Anitvirus 2008 indicating virus has been detected.  We have Trend Micro PC-cillin on our compueter, not Vista.  We scanned and he did not return with anything.  I found how to remove some of the Vista files left on my C drive (don't know how I found them or how they got there) and also remove the Vista icon had left.  Today Trend Micro keeps popping up warnings for Web sites that are dangerous.  Listed as dangerous site does not and is not where I am.  In fact, he popped a warning for this page of Dell forum.  We ran a virus scan the first night, that it appeared and the trend did not find anything.  Any help would be appreciated.  Please let me know if you need more information.

Thank you!

    There is so much discussion on the iMac does not require does no antivirus, because it is well protected. On the other hand, horses Trojan seems to get their way in a system through vulnerabilities in browsers or other applications. Is there a way to know the State of health without having to pay for a subscription and the loading of the system with the external scanners and controllers as the extra load of the system?

    Yes, Mac OS X has built-in protection that is updated regularly (in the background). You don't need any other software.

    Adware and malicious software is different. If Safari is supported with pop-ups,

    Quit the Apple Safari > force quit menu. Relaunch Safari since the Dock icon while holding the SHIFT key.

    Hello

    My iMac has been showing the pinwheel much more often, in my view, it might be a virus/malware issue.  Also, on two occasions, I got a note to friends that I may have a bug on my computer because of the emails received by them from my computer, which I have not sent.

    Please advice on how better to clean the machine so that recommended better software.  Info from the machine is as follows:

    iMac

    21.5 "mid-2011

    Intel Core i5 at 2.7 GHz

    DDR3 4 GB 133 MHz

    OSX 10.7.5

    There is no OSX virus in the wild. It is malware, but it would be obvious if you had everything. Regarding the receipt of emails that you do not send friends. This means that someone is spoofing your email. You should change your e-mail password and see if that helps.

  • Some keys on the keyboard does work not after the suspect virus on Tecra

    Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and the end of the keys no longer work after a suspected virus attack. I found the same problem on the net record but apparently this guy fixes his problem after stop scroll or NumLock on found him.

    This isn't the case here, but it's something with numlock - registry Watch 2 and not 0. switch to 0 but when reboot 2 times.
    Suspect has changed through the bios. I thought that I couldn't get to the bios because DEL key does not but found ESC works.
    Tried to reset the values default to the bios but then can't save and exit it in accordance with the EndKey to work.

    I was running XP at the time of the (alleged) attack and could not correct the problem so to put the computer OEM as I hoped would help - there no, same problem, so instead of installing all the software on the computer with XP I upgraded to Windows7 - charge install.

    Keys still don't work - it was a real pain first as my computer was created for ctl + alt + delete to log on and I had to do with the keyboard of the screen - XP - it showed also that numlock performed before and after windows starts.

    The reason why I suspect a virus - my wife was watching an of its tv shows on the line of the country of origin (an another toshiba laptop) and I needed to use this laptop for something else, so I asked to use mine - then we turned off laptops and the morning turned tham back on again once , the other laptop with virus protection AVG reported several hits and this one with Norton (FAMOUS and completely up-to-date) flagged nothing - once I got the screen keyboard.

    Problems with this computer were found after scanning with different antivirus.
    Anyway - I find myself with 4 keys that don't work not on my keyboard (in fact they work after I have connected to the computer for the first time, but I had to hold them in place for a long time - and then the next time I rebooted, not at all and did not since)

    Here, any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm working on this all weekend with no joy at all.

    Thanks in advance.

  • What is the prevalence of viruses, malware, etc., to be hidden and undetectable by anti-virus software?

    • As before, when my computer when my computer has been infected, I get a svchost.exe error, repeatedly, whenever I restart the computer. The infection has been discovered that the last time by my anti-virus software, because it was hidden.  It was a computer expert on this forum who told me my computer was infected by svchost.exe repeated error messages that I received.  I ran my Avast software, anti-malware software from MSFT Security Center, Win Defender, etc. this time, and it has detected no infections.  (Yes, I know what to do to pass this message means not necessarily my computer is infected, but the tech guy said that it is likely, given that the error message appeared on several occasions).  How detect and destroy the virus/malware hidden, etc?
    • Also, if anyone can answer another question... I was told that it is not recommended that I have two programs of anti-virus software, which I do - Win Defender and Avast (I guess they may conflict).  I tend to want to keep Avast, but would like to know if I have to keep Win Defender instead, because it is a Win a Win system program.  If I've got this me getting rid of one of them, is it recommended that I both uninstall and then reinstall one of them?

    A person help would be appreciated!

    Thnx, Dharma

    WHAT I HAVE: Win XP Media Center, MS Office 7 Professional (used at home), IE8, Outlook 7, HP w / 32-bit dual core processor, latest version of Avast & Win Defender, Srvc Pack 2 and 3 (although I know that I don't need 3 because I have not upgraded to Win 7, but it won't let me uninstall it!) and regularly updates Win.

    You pouvez have a type of rootkit of malware infection.  Rootkits can transform and change of identity on your OS (and are difficult to detect and remove) and many computing professionals recommend a reinstall of the operating system in order to ensure that the rootkit is removed.

    Follow the suggestions in the Brian - post.  The link that he provided is an excellent reference.   If you have a rootkit, TDSS Killer or one of the other programs listed pourrait be able to remove it.

    You have SP3 on your Win XP OS and if you plan to switch to Win 7 make sure that your processor and RAM will manage Win 7... with your history of technology issues a reformatting/clean install of Win 7 would be a good idea.  Because of the possibility of conflicts, I do not recommend using Windows Defender with Avast or any other resident AV program.  Suggest uninstall you Windows Defender in Control Panel.  MSE and several other AV programs require the removal of Windows Defender in XP (or disabling the Defender in Vista and Win 7).

  • Page will go full screen, jump autour and the toolbar will appear/disappear and page continues to change constantly. No virus/malware after scanning

    I have a laptop and I'm going on my home page (or go to another site from this page), the toolbar will back down in full screen. I'll go into 'tools' and disable the mode full screen (F11), then the entire screen "travel" up to down and will not stop. The toolbar will start to appear, and then back again and again, do not allow me to access anything whatsoever. It will last until I have completed the task with the future manager. I ran AVG, Spybot and malware (who, after working, I uninstalled) held, and nothing was found

    It started about a week ago, and to at about the same time I started having the ' does not ' when loading a page. This has never happened before, and there is no notice of virus/malware. I think to potential problems with the keyboard of the computer laptop, but computer says everything is functioning normally.

    If anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated. I got the microphone. Security Essentials on my system, and tried to uninstall think there could be a problem there (computer ran incredibly slow, and this problem started a week after installation), and this shows it is not completely uninstalled and I get the error message whenever I start.

    Basically, my laptop picked up what appears to be a boat load of virus / malware of some link and has started flashing upward with safety messages, then adobe flash crashed... then the entire closed system.

    Now, when I turn on all I get is a black screen says:

    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:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window, and then type the following commands:

    ipconfig/release
    ipconfig / renew
    output

    Restart your computer and test your connection.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • just got one of these warnings "fake virus/malware" 06/06/2001 - must be quite new to cross safety essentials

    just got one of these "fake virus/malware" warnings and a click here to remove I've seen before over the years.  I did a screen pring and disconnected my network cable and rebooted.  Would like to send my impression of screed to someone who might be able to track down.  It must be quite new if my safety at day missed.  It would be so nice to take one of these jerks in jail who create such things.  Anyway, the site allegedly attached to this was:

    And of course the page Web said I was infected with all sorts of things but by "clicking here" will arrange everything.  I pulled my network cable and rebooted instead (after the screenshot).

  • 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.

  • AVG Anti-virus (malware) does not illuminate

    My os is windows vista Basic, windows defender is Windows Firewall turned on, I get alert windows from security saying me my avg anti virus (malware protection) is disabled. However, it will not turn on, ive recently installed avg 8.5 (free), I never had no problem with the previous avg 7, could be something to do with the Defender w or w Firewall?, any help please.

    Hi murphmeister,.

    Thank you for taking the time to post.

    It is possible to Windows Defender and if that AVG has a Malware/spyware scanner, it can cause conflicts as it is recommended to have only a spy software put real-time protection. It is allowed to have several installed, it has simply not recommended to have the two together at the real time protection. It really depends what the following shows us.

    ·         Click on the Start Orb on the Office

    ·         Select Control Panel

    ·         Select Security Center (Classic view)

    Under protection from malware it shows under the protection against viruses and software spies and other software malware protection?

    Have you tried to reinstall AVG?

    AVG seems to work; You can scan and access the program very well as far as you can tell?

    The following steps will attempt to repair management Windows (WMI) Instrumentation which can cause the Security Center to see the average price before trying the following steps please make sure that you do not have a restore point of the current system.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/322756

    ·         Click on the Start Orb on the Office

    ·         In the Search box, type cmd (do not hit enter)

    ·         Right click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator

    ·         Type or copy the following that winmgmt /verifyrepository and press enter

    ·         We should get this message: "WMI repository is incompatible"

    ·         Type or copy the following winmgmt /salvagerepository and press enter (you may need to try this one a couple times)

    Please let us know.

    is it possible to have all my anti virus/malware programs to all work together without one stop on the other?

    I doubt it.

    You should never have more than one security product installed on the PC, providing active protection / scan. This can cause performance problems, system instability and conflicts between programs and can affect all installed antivirus product efficiency. Even if you try to have more than one product installed, with an asset and another disabled, disabled product will probably still active components and/or installation of the drivers installed that will conflict with any other antivirus program.
