The Ascentive spyware removal

I downloaded Ascentive software because it claims it would make my computer run faster.  Now when I'm on the Internet, it appears immediately.  I tried to remove in Add/Remove Programs, and it is removed from the list, but not my computer.  My computer has slowed down considerably and freezes frequently.

Your system is infected with a rogue security program. It's called "thugs" because he pretended to be a good guy but is really bad. Don't pay them!

Malwarebytes' Anti-malware (MBAM) or SuperAntiSpyware will often do the job. Both have free versions and you don't need to buy these programs.

These can work for you, and all can be good. However, in many cases the computer will also infected with other horses of Trojan and protected by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean. If your machine is one of these cases, either the interactive assistance to one of the specialty forums listed in the link below, OR take your machine to a professional on the local computer OR backup your data and do a clean install of Windows. It's your choice. I do not recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of places.

  • Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool not doing anything to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

    original title: WHY Windows Update keep up to date USELESS of Windows Defender and installation USELESS malware remover?

    I'm a computer technician who makes a TON of virus remove money from Windows computers.  Two-thirds of my tasks of repair involving the elimination of viruses from Windows and trying to fix the Internet Explorer, the worst browser known to humanity.

    I have a question about Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool.  These are two programs entirely worthless, evidenced by the fact that computers with them installed still get infected of all viruses, Trojan and rootkit out there.  Clearly, if these two programs of malware Microsoft has done anything to protect your computer, it would have been without having to release still a THIRD tool antivirus, "security essentials" for Microsoft.   I'm not complaining — the way Microsoft Windows absorbs malware like a sponge, put a lot of money in my bank account. Please keep doing what you're doing... however...

    My question is, given that Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool doing nothing to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

    Windows defender is not an antivirus program, it is designed to protect against spyware.

    If you don't like them, so do not use them.

  • To restart, a fictitious user account appears. I remove it in the (add or remove user account) article, but upon reboot, it is always

    * O.T. > fictitious user account deletion

    I have windows 7, on reboot, a fictitious user account appears.  I remove it in the (add or remove user account) article, but upon reboot, it is always.  How can I remove it permanently?

    Hi Ewa,

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. You created this account, or he came to his own?
    2. You share this computer with another person?
    3. You did it all change important before the show?

    If this user account is not created by you, then it might be the virus/malware. So, I suggest you run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSS) to ensure that the computer is virus-free.

    The Microsoft Safety Scanner free is a downloadable security tool that allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software. 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.

    Get back to us with all the necessary information and the result of the proposed suggestion. We will be happy to help you further.

    Kind regards

  • Former owner will not take the time to remove his ACCT. I have his name, number, address, serial number, imei of the device. I've added it to my Verizon plan. I can't activate it! Apple won't help me but him?

    Former owner is not the time to remove the device from his account. I have his name, number, address, serial number and imei of iphone.  I always had of BONE cell phones, but my daughter IOS. I made sure that the IMEI was clean and it was not on the black list before adding it to my Verizon account. Now, I learned about icloud.  Verizon has brought his number to the iphone and now she has no phone to use. I called apple, but I was told that they could not help me, but they might help the original owner.  They original owner is older and perhaps confused after I tried to explain what I've learned.  What can I do when the original owner is/was/still confused about how the system works?  I'm always lost in this world of apple.

    It sounds as if this iPhone is locked in Activation.  Here is the complete description of locking Activation:

    Assuming that the former owner is ready (but simply not able) to help you, maybe if you contact the owner and his or her through the directions above, you'll be all set.

  • My iPhone and Mac all have two Photos related to iCloud, same images appear on both. How to remove pictures from the phone without removing them from the Mac

    I've shared pictures between my Mac and iPhone using iCloud. Recently downloaded about 1800 brother SmugMug account family photos. Subsequently discovered that they had all been loaded on my phone as well. When I try to delete them from my phone, I get a message the suggests that if I do, the photos will be removed from my Mac was fine. How can I remove the phone and let the Mac intact?

    I've shared pictures between my Mac and iPhone using iCloud.

    What iCloudService do you use?

    • If the iPhone and the Mac are synchronized with iCloud photo library, removal of the photos from the iPhone will remove them from the Mac as well.  iCloud photo library is a synchronization service that will ensure that you see the same pictures on all devices. All change at will the timing and any deletion or any import.  To win the storage on the iPhone allow the iCloud Photos setting "Optimize Storage.
    • If photos have been synced with my photos and not iCloud library stream, you can remove them from the iPhone. They must stay in the library on your Mac. But before a massive deletion on any device, make a backup of your photo library, just to be sure.

  • The Authentucated smart card user session is stopped airtight when the card is removed, regardless of httpd SSLSessionCacheTimeout (default 300) setting. Why?

    I installed safety device in the option tab / advanced ff. Then using smart cards to connect to my server. The smart card user is authenticated and secure connection goes smoothly. When the card is removed from the card reader, the connection is immediately interrupted, regardless the SSLSessionCacheTimeout settings. Mine is set to 300.

    I did the same thing with IE, it maintains the connection until the expiry of the SSLSessionCacheTimeout.

    It is characteristic of FF-specific-designed? Or do I FF browser-specific sth keep my secure connection based on the parameter SSLSessionCacheTimeout?

    Hey SecureDevPaty,

    I wonder if you have installed a cert in the side server or client-side.

    I'm not an expert in the present, but these are the references that I found. I * think * after reading this session http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12.../session-disconnect-the-client-after-smart-card-is-removed LAA there is a feature of ssl in the about: config page. If you are looking for ssl, look at the features of trading. who, after having reread the thread we already did.

    I started to read more about the rules of ssl

    and a few rfcs. My question is, the rule for timeout, is this set on the server? with a specific rule in the cert? If it is a basis of cert, I would ask stackoverflow.com

  • How to add games in the section add/remove?

    Having just changed since an other Netbook (total nightmare) for the (amazing) Toshiba manufacture, my daughter (10) I was wondering how is the number of games in the area Add / Remove programs is much less than in section of add/remove the other factory?
    Are there other sources of games for this machine and if so, how can I add the to add a deletion?

    Thank you very much
    Welcoming

    Add Remove Programs seems to be a cut from the version of the package manager, which is normally executed by user root/master.
    Go to the menu Preferences/main / administration and click the synaptic package manager. This will add to the menu under admin selection. Close the windows.

    Go to the package synaptic/administration manager. This will open add it remove programs in their ENTIRETY.
    Willl you find more games listed. The disadvantage of this addition in the menu list i gives it FULL access to the OS and games programs. Remove some programs from here could also remove the dependencies to other programs.

    Maybe you can configure yourself as user and add or remove root for her. She created without admin priveliges.

    Hope this helps

  • all of my photos in icloud were removed from the restoration (and did not find the album recently removed to icloud)



    all of my photos in icloud were removed from the restoration (and did not find the album recently removed to icloud)

    The opposite happened to me - in the opposite direction! I found all my pictures from Nokia mobile in icloud on my iPad a few days ago, had no blue cogwheels devices! The two devices + home phone is all about wireless internet of the contract with ORANGE in Europe! They will not help,

    I think my router - put in place by an expatriate for me - is hacked because of the problem. I didn't ask him to change my contract or warn of my move when I did 2 years ago - but he went ahead and made Orange disclose no information telling me his "confidential".

  • Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DJ does not supply power to the top after removing the HARD drive

    Hello world!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DJ. It has a 750 GB HARD drive, but it wasn't enough for me. So I bought a Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive. I have undone all the screws, carefully (using my driver's license), lifted up the plastic and removed a HARD disk.

    BTW, I really like this plastic solution on the HARD drive!

    Then I realized, that all my stuff is still on it.
    So I put the HARD drive, I'm going to copy everything on my drive hard Ext. planning.
    Well I screwed it back, got the battery, put the back of the AC adapter.

    Battery charge light was on, indicating that the current flows. I pressed the 'Start' button, and nothing happened. He broke yet still nothing. I plugged the battery and the AC output adapter, I held the Power button for 30 seconds, put everything back still nothing. I got scared. Opened back once more, just to take a look at, so anything that slipped on. Nope.

    Everything is a okay. What should do? I have the warranty? I hope not.
    Can I fix myself without void my warranty? I hope so!

    And also: I bought the laptop in Hungary, but I'm in Germany. Can I fix here in case my warranty is valid?

    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Satellite Pro L500 - stops when the power cord removed

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 stops when the power cord is removed even with the battery to 100%. I removed the battery and all the indications associated with battery answer correctly. For example turns off, Toshiba Health Monitor also indicates when the battery is removed. If installed Health monitor indicates that the battery is at 100%.

    Someone please help. I have not installed anything new.

    Hey,.

    For me, the matter is clear: the battery can't hold a charge so the laptop will be shut down because it has no power.

    I think you need to replace the battery with a new one and you can get a provider of service authorized in your country. Simply contact the guy and ask that they can tell you how much it would cost.

    You can find a list of all FSA here:

    Good luck! :)

  • Stop U300-130 of the satellite so the battery is removed after the start

    Hello

    If I start my PC with the power of the battery only and then delete afterwards, even if I connect to the laptop do mains,.
    the PC will go down as if no power source is available.

    The same thing happens if I hibernate with a single battery, connect to remove AC battery and starts.
    the PC will run for a while (while the blue/red battery light stays on as if he was in charge) and then dies.

    Seems to be a BIOS problem, like anyone seen something similar?

    The laptop is a Satellite U300-130.

    Thank you!

    Hmmm. This problem is new to me and it s really strange.

    But first I want to say that it s not recommended and not recommended to remove the battery while the laptop is running and connected to the power adapter.
    If you want to remove the battery and then shut down the laptop first, unplug the power adapter, remove the battery, connect the power adapter and start Notepad.

    However, please page European driver of Toshiba and new BIOS is available, try to update!
