  Hello

  In addition to the advice already given, I wanted you have read the following information:

  Cleaning a compromised system
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

  As the article says, once a system has been compromised, it is never a good way to know that it is not compromised in the future.  For this reason, a clean install is always best once a system has been infected with malicious software.

• Windows XP system restore Boot Failure with new hard drive

  HP Touchsmart IQ546t running Windows XP Home Edition

  Here is my story:

  A few months ago my PC was informing me that a hard disk failure is imminent and how can I back up my data.

  I was able to get most of the data backed up and has continued to use the PC.

  Finally, the hard drive failed.

  Not being not able to find system restore disks, I ordered a set of HP.

  In the meantime, I was able to save the rest of my data using an external hard drive enclosure, a laptop and a backup disk.

  I used system restore discs to erase the hard drive and restore the operating system.

  After the successful restoration, I was able to boot my PC and use it for a few days, but again became imminent hard disk failure message. Yet once again, the hard drive failed and I was unable to use it.

  I decided to replace the hard drive, thinking I could install and use the system restore disks to get the installed operating system.

  I followed all the instructions, I find and could not start the machine to the point he will recognize the recovery disc. I receive a message that tells me to insert a bootable media.

  Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

  Is there something I can try to get the hard drive to boot to the point he will recognize the recovery disk?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  Hello

  OPS, sorry on this subject.  If the recovery discs are not recognized not so you act have a problem trying to get the new HDD to be restored.

  Try the procedure below and see what happens.  View your results.

  Cyberlink CD recovery for hard drives. When you created this CD, insert it into the system that fails to start, restart, and wait until you see a window with a green check mark.  Next, remove the CD and insert your first recovery DVDs.  Reboot the PC and go through the process of installing the operating system again.  If all goes well, it should install properly this time.

• System Restore error message

  It is an update to my post of 17/04/2011 request for assistance to resolve an error message (0x800703fi) to the system restore on my HP Desktop running Windows 7 64 - bit edition. My antivirus software is Norton Internet Security 2011. Thank you for your quick reply, Professor.

  Hello

  If you have Norton Internet Security installed, you should disable Norton Tamper Protection as shown in step 2, on the link below.

  http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20091112171719EN&LN=en_US

  Once you are done, turn off the PC.  Windows system restore is usaully better run in Mode without failure.  Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  When it has loaded, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose the restore point, you need and then do the restore.  When you are finished, Windows will restart normally.

  If you wish, please reply on this thread.

• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

• window repair virus won't let me not even run in safe mode system restore.

  original title: window repair virus won't let me not even run in safe mode system restore.  What should I do now?

  Research on the web.  Not far from the computer.  Computer is speaking.  Windows repair itself downloaded to my computer XP Prof  Apparently erased all programs, all about office except explore and recycle bin.  Computer restarted in safe mode to do a system restore to an earlier date to wipe clear out of the memory of the computer.  Has started the system restore, you click on a date, click, hourglass and then nothing.  No message, nothing.  Click Next again and still nothing.  Download Security Essentials.  Took several attempts so that it can be updated.  Computer turns off.  EU Security Essentials uninstall and reinstall.  Finally updated.  I hope this works!

  Hi, John. I had to deal with this virus of the Windows repair. I have had pretty good luck (fingers crossed anyway) by using the removal guide posted on bleepingcomputer.com.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-Windows-repair

  They have a program called rkill download that stops all the running processes. Allows you to prevent the virus from Windows repair. It will give you a file log and show you things that stop you. Write those down.

  I had the same problem you had with not be able to update Malwarebytes. I would like to run rkill, run Malwarebytes, and then reboot and repair Windows would jump to the top. On the third try, I didn't restart after running rkill and Malwarebytes. Instead, I searched for the files that rkill to stop (and I wrote down) and remove them manually from the C drive. Also, I have downloaded and run CCleaner which has removed registry now dead keys associated with the repair of Windows virus in the registry.

  CCleaner: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

  Then I rebooted. That seemed to do the trick: I was able to update Malwarebytes again. I ran the program display offers the site computer network, and which unhid all files that was hiding the Windows repair virus.

  Again seems to work... thought it might be of help to you as well! Good luck!

• my computer is infected with a virus. I'm doing a system restore

  Hello

  By using the system restore when you have malicious software is not a good idea, although she would go. System restore
  can actually help to spread malware and make more difficult or impossible to remove the malware. Best

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to

  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.

• Virus problem? -Unable to access many programs, Windows Components, System Restore

  I am reasonably confident that the issue I'm having is the direct result of a virus. The first sign was after recording in the other day, a message popped up that says that my copy of Windows is not valid. After re - validate, I am still not able to access many programs, System Restore, components - run Windows, Control Panel, Defender etc. I already ran several scans-MalwareBytes, Hijackthis, AVG, ZoneAlarm, SuperAnti-SpyWare, Avira, Emsisoft, etc.. Still nothing.

• System Restore Windows 8 has been restoring for almost 2 hours. How long should it take?

  New windows machine 8. Installed AVG anti-virus requiring a reboot. It wouldn't restart. Kept giving me the dpc_watchdog... error. (more & on & above) So I chose to do a system restore to last Friday. I saw him start & I left the room for a while.  He has been restoring for almost 2 hours now. I noticed the "finalizing" file restore less than an hour ago. Is this normal? I have to do something else?

  Hi Marcia,

  I understand that the system restore takes a long time to restore your computer.

  System restore usually takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the data has changed since the date of the restoration up to the date where the restoration is underway.
  If the computer is blocked, do a hard reset. Press the power button for about 10 seconds. Once the computer shuts down, stop and try again and follow the steps.

  Follow the steps mentioned below and perform a restore of the system from the Windows recovery environment. Check if it helps.

  (a) Insert the disc to install 8 Windows; Click on repair your system.
  (b) click the Advanced Boot Options.
  (c) click Start Windows settings.
  (d) If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
  ((e) (f) If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on system restore.
  (f) click about to restore during which the system worked very well.
  (g) click on apply, click OK.

  Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

• Cannot run some programs after system restore to remove the virus

  Hello

  Toshiba my duaghter had a nasty virus that pretends to be an antivirus software product, which sneaked in, between the time his default service Norton has expired and I had the time to install Trend.

  Can not remove it using trend, so on the advice of a friend, decided to make a windows system restore to a point before the infection. It worked successfully and the virus has disappeared, but now she can't run some programs, I tried to reinstall Trend, but fails because he says you must first uninstall Norton. But I can't run Norton, or uninstall, and certain folders on C: are no longer accessible.

  I have to do a full restore of the Toshiba System (IE back tofactory settings? This seems a drastic measure, but the issue is beyond my meager knowledge of PC.

  Thank you

  Graeme

  Hey Buddy,

  Hmm... This announcement is a bit confusing... Maybe the programs you want to say were installed after the system restore point, who knows?

  In my opinion you must reset the laptop configuration that you have already written. This will restore the pre-installed Windows version where everything is working correctly and that all the drivers and tools are installed.

  Therefore, you only need the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot from it. This will restore the factory settings.

  Check this box!

• Virus SMART HARD drive - cannot access Admin folder or WF - error 0 x 80070005 using system restore

  original title: need help for the restoration of the system

  I got the SMART HDD virus. I thought that this one has been removed. I can access everything but my admin folder and my Windows Firewall. I tried a system restore but I get an unknown error 0 x 80070005.

  4/11 is also the furthest I can go back when there was an update. Why can't come back all other - can only be hidden by the virus too?

  Hello

  Disabled first happened to scan your system with MSE or another anti-virus program? You have scanned your system with Malware bytes? Before restoration, it is best to make sure that your system is clean. Some viruses will infect the system and also infected restore points, you did.
  MSE: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials
  Malware bytes: www.malwarebytes.org
  If you are unable to run these is normal mode, then try safe mode by pressing the F8 key for the system to start.
  I hope this helps.

• After clearing a virus, my system restore option is gone.

  Title: original system restore

  I had a virus "restore windows" on my computer and removed. I went to my Start menu and click on accessories system tools but the restoration of the system is missing. Then, I went to my computer windows system32 file restore and click the restore program to get this message "system restore is not able to protect your computer. Restart your computer and then try to run the restore of the system again. "I did this and still get the same error. What can I do to restore to pre virus.

  Thank you

  Hi JimmyLee7701

   

  What operating system is installed on the computer?

   

  I suggest you to check and to provide us with the information about the installed operating system.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/help/which-version-of-the-Windows-operating-system-am-i-running

   

  You can perform a scan of the SFC (System File Checker). It lists all the issues and will also retrieve all files if necessary. Follow the steps below to perform a Scan SFC -

  a. click Start, click programs, on Accessoriesprincipally made, right click guestand then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
  b. type the following command and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  A message appears indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient because the scan can take some time.
  c. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Win7 DVD for this process to continue.
  d. If everything is correct you should, after the scan, see the following message "resource protection Windows not found any breach of integrity".
  e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  See the link for further directions on scan SFC - below

• System restored automatically after the installation of updates & a few missing desktop icons.

  Original title: same set of updates on both computers due to different problems, one problem being a system restore.

  I have two Windows 7 computers in my house.  They all have two problems after installing updates a month ago.  The problem for 'Computer 1' is a bigger problem than the problem of the "Computer 2".  2 computer problem not really seems to be a problem now, but I'll give you the information for comparison purposes. Sorry for the length of this post - I am trying to be thorough.

  1 COMPUTER DETAILS:

  News of the computer: Dell Studio 1745 laptop computer running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, six months at the time of the problem, now age of seven months. It came with Norton pre-installed, never used and uninstalled.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

  Background: set up with a single account (Administrator, of course) and after a few days of putting in place computer, said ale user account for everyday use.  Computer is configured to warn me before downloading/installation of updates of Windows, with permission for each type of account to install Windows updates.

  While in the standard account, I welcomed these download/install updates and was prompted to restart the computer.  I was done with the computer, so I just closed instead of restart.  According to "Your update history Review", it's updates and they were all successful:

  Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB980846)
  Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)
  Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB982519)
  Update Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for x 64 systems (KB982526)
  Cumulative update for Media Center for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB981078)

  After you turn on computer back, everything seemed normal.  I opened Firefox and I got a notice that Firefox has an update is available, a standard user cannot.  Unlike some programs, there is no popup to sign as an administrator, so I went to start > switch user and signed as an administrator.  (There was no update of Firefox at this point - just a switch single user.) That's where the problem appeared: instead of normally load the admin Office, I had to wait while Windows configured my desk (it's new)... wait... wait... wait... wait... BAM!  Your computer has been successfully restored * insert date here * (I don't remember what it was - January of this year, perhaps - because I was so incredulous that it happened and I continued to watch the game "successfully restored").  I do not have the computer to eat, and it don't has not asked me if I wanted to restore it.  He just did, just on its own initiative, when I went on the admin account.  A bunch of shortcut icons are missing from the Office of the admin acct and the ACCT. standard, and wallpaper to the admin account has been changed.  I am not absolutely sure if nothing else was touched.

  I have searched online to try to understand why it happened, and I remember well from my only find, is that if I went to the restoration of the system, there will be an option to cancel it, but I don't see such an option. So I told the computer to eat on a few days to a week before that updates.  It doesn't seem to help.  Shortcut icons are still missing.  Looked at the update history and it shows the five latest updates as being installed successfully, but Windows Update tells me that I need to these five updates AND this time, the little check marks are only already there on four of the five updates listed.  (The first time, the little checkmarks were already there for all five.)  This is the update that is NOT now pre-checked:

  Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)

  Do not reinstall the five updates.  I don't know if I should jump install them again, or if I should install only the
  now, four are already "pre-checked."  I'm very hesitant to install KB982670, because this update seems to be the likely cause of the problem given the fact that it is already pré-coché in the Windows and the following information updates for computer 2.

  Since I installed the latest updates for 1 computer with no apparent problems:

  X 64-July Windows malicious software removal tool (KB890830) 2010
  Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2032276)

  NEWS ON COMPUTER 2:

  The computer news: Systemax desktop running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, a month at the time of the problem, now age of two months.  It has not come with any pre-installed antivirus.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

  Reminder: Set up immediately with an admin account and a standard account for everyday use.  Computer has been set to automatically download and install updates for Windows, but is about to inform me first.

  At the time of the problem above with the laptop, desktop computer has been enabled.  As all loading,.
  an error message came that there was some kind of issue with the .NET framework.  At another person asked if he knew what was up with that, and it didn't.  Did not note the specific message, thinking he would tell me again if there was a real problem.  I thought it could have been some kind of Windows hiccups when starting the computer, not even knowing about update problems.  I have yet to see this message.  After the number of laptop (computer 1), I took a peek at the desktop computer (computer 2) to check that Windows Update and I saw that an update is available, which is the referenced above same update that the notebook had already the check mark in its box (KB982670), which gives me the choice to check the little to install it.  Very curious, since, as already mentioned, the computer has been configured to automatically download and install Windows updates.  Looked at the update history, and it has already downloaded and installed the other four updates that the laptop has been.  Changed the automatic Windows Update setting to warn me before you download and install updates.  I have not installed the missing update.  Said the only other person in the House who would probably bother install updates to not install it.

  A month later, 2 computer has a notification from Windows update that 21 or 22 updates are available (as a result, by clicking on the icon of the trial of Microsoft Office).  The update not installed a month ago is no longer on the list, and update history shows as having been installed a few days before, apparently because someone else in the House must have thought it looked like a good idea.  I installed all the 'important' updates and have not seen any more problems with computer 2.

  BACK TO THE COMPUTER 1:

  Yes, is there anyone with ideas on how to get 1 computer back to its state before the 5 updates listed above, and what to do about to reinstall some or all of them, I hope, without more problems, for example a random food system does not happen?  I have a feeling I will say that the random system restoration do not occur, but he did.

  Thanks for any help.

  No, I don't use the Norton removal tool.

  IN RE COMPUTER 1 ONLY:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4 for good measure, reset Windows Update by...

• After the system restore, the icons do not show on the desktop. How can I fix it?

  I uninstalled Google Chrome on computer Dell 1100 from my husband.  Shortcuts on the desktop then didn't work.  It seemed to me don't forget you must redo shortcuts after a restored system so I tried and the shortcut has not yet opened.  Then I did a system restore using 10/07/12 for the date of restoration.  After that there is now NOTHING on the screen/desktop other than her photo screen saver.  We followed the instructions found online to use the f8, keys, etc., and he has changed nothing.  Any other ideas?
