Hi Wade Myers,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft Communities. There are possibilities that the computer may be affected by the virus. Follow these methods and check.

Method 1: Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.

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.

Method 2: Create a new user account and verify.

If the problem is resolved in a new user account, and then follow the steps in the article to fix a corrupted user account.

  • Cookies and website data keep reappearing after removal

    When I delete old or unused cookies and the Web site data in the preferences of Safari (9.1), they keep reappearing, a lot of sites I haven't visited in months or years. I guess they are be re-populated icloud. How do I delete and ask them to stay gone until I actually decide to visit those sites again once? I like to have iCloud keep my computer, phone and tablet in sync, but I don't understand why it isn't updated itself to follow what I do,

    Safari automatically checks websites for updates:

    Top Sites

    Son subscribers

    Sites selected for Quick Web site search

    Pages that turn up as Top Search Hits

    Pinned tabs

    Cookies and data bases of these sites will be reloaded even if you do not visit them. If there are sites that you do not want to accept cookies, follow the instructions in the support articles linked above to exclude. Note that if you visit a page often, it may be added to your Top Sites unless all the available places are already occupied by pinned sites.

    Cookies can also be created by elements, such as advertisements and invisible "web bugs", which come from a different web server than inviting you to. You can block some of these cookies in the privacy of the Safari preferences window tab.

    To block all cookies for a site on a selective basis, you will need to use third party software or another browser. I don't have a specific recommendation.

    The file in which web cookies are stored can also be used by third-party applications that use the same mechanism as Safari to communicate with web servers. These applications can add cookies from sites you have never visited in Safari.

  • photos IPhone 5 c deleted iOS 9.2 keep reappearing after removal & much more

    I have "had 9.2 iOS for a some time now & this problem this morning where the camera & photos are rendered useless."

    Removal of the photos is useless because they reappear just & when you click on the button "Select" to select multiple photos then you delete, the number of photos is immutable & you can't cancel the select menu because nothing will happen, the application crashes shortly after, you come back & is the same as before and the pictures are still there; it applies to all the photos of old & new.

    so whenever you take a new photo, it does not appear on the roll came or anything else that has left as kind of a 'Museum '. I'm not share or synchronize my photos via iCloud as he was called to fill to the brim our storage & all the answers I see online, is "you must uncheck sync on your Mac for the pictures", but:

    •1: I don't even own a Mac.

    •2: as I've already said, I can't sync my photos or something else, it's really confusing

    Its stressing me can so please get help as soon as possible?

    Thanks in advance

  • The files keep reappearing when deleting.

    Hi, we use to store many files and assets to work outside the same files on different machines. Today, some of the files that I deleted keep coming back. It is only in a specific folder. I have deleted many times (and even tried to delete the whole folder and emptying of archive) and I just can't understand what keeps back them. I am part of a team that uses the creative cloud and to make all users.

    Time machine has been a lifesaver more than once. Especially when all of the files in the current production disappeared from CC earlier this year!

    We did not examine using Dropbox. We have a good-sized design team with many major projects constantly on the move and came close to filling of 100 GB of storage in our folder has collaborated in the past. Need to keep on top of projects finished on a local archiving server. Is not stable enough to work on the files directly well, so CC was supposed to be better for this (and to access the CC of other places is a bonus).

    I have a folder of files in local folders that keeps reappearing after that I erase it. I tried to fix the folder several times. Any suggestions?

    This is the name of a folder? Who will be in a file name in your file system. Given his situation, is it possible or likely that the total path length exceeds the limit of the operating system?

    For example: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/file-names-extensions-faq#1TC=windows-7

    This is not to talk about any other limit which may be inherent in the way that Thunderbird uses names of files internally.

    In your position, I explore the Thunderbird profile and check paths, as they appear in the file manager. You should be able to remove all folders that are unwanted here also.

  • Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

    Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

    I used easy transfer to move files from an old computer to my new about 12 months ago. The SaveData.mig file takes 22 GB of space on the new computer. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will mess up all my files that have been transferred to my new computer. Anyone know if I can delete this file in order to free up space? Thank you

    I agree with Mohdrafi - you can remove safely; However, you should have a more recent backup of your current files just to be on the right side (image FULL weekly backup and an incremental backup every day for an external HARD drive - I've seen too many people get burned when their drive hard breaks down or something worse and then they lose all their precious documents (, photos, audio and other files).  There ARE recovery procedures, but they don't always work, and they don't always get everything (especially if you expect to solve the problem or continue to use the PC in the meantime)- and depending on your version of Vista.  Delete this file will NOT affect the files and settings that you restored using the process.  Could have deleted it hours after that the process has been done (once you have a good backup) and it would have been very well then.  If you have a good backup, I can see no reason whatsoever to keep the file.

    If the normal delete function in Vista doesn't work, try using one of the following free products to remove the file.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

    Congratulations to the use of Easy Transfer - this is a pretty cool tool isn't it?  Not sure how many threads that we have here people with issues or recoving given him--I saw a lot.  It seems easy on the surface, but when it doesn't work it can become quite complex and aggravating (and I know people who have unfortunately never were able to retrieve their data and settings no matter what we tried).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Make the file readable but not removable via cmd or a batch file

    Hello

    I am a windows user and I write little programs in windows using the language of batch processing. So I have a lot of work to do and set up different programs. But I am unable to set the attribute for a file that is accessible or executable but not removable. I mean I have a program and I want to set the attribute for this program unalterable, not removable. I've tried to set attribute with-s option as the attribute value of a file system and warns the user when deleting. But after you click Yes, the file is gone.

    So my question is that is it possible to set the attribute to one or more files to readable but not removable via the batch command prompt?

    Any help would be appreciated so much.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Virtually all of the files are missing after you import the catalog.

    I'm NOT sure that has nothing to do with lightroom, except that yesterday my files were all there, now, they are absent.  It could be a hard disk failure.  Its just strange that it affected only the files that I tried to interfere in my lightroom catalog today.

    Well as out of town, I pulled a few thousand photos and them ingested on a daily basis in a new lightroom catalog that I created on my laptop.  Files imported into a USB external drive.  The laptop is win 10.  It is on the latest version of lightroom, CC.  Yesterday, everything was going well with the catalog, disk, and files.  All were there.  The catalogue and the photos were on the same drive.  The laptop was listed as the letter 'g ':

    Once I went back to the office today, I wanted to import pictures to my largest catalog on my desktop.  I have used this external hard drive for all my new photos in 2016.  On this PC, Win 10, the letter of the external drive is also "X:".  I started lightroom in my big catalogue very well.  I chose to import from a different catalog, accessed my X Catalogue outside in the car and started importing without a copy of the files.  This should leave the files in the same location.  It took a little more time I expected to import this catalog.  When I went to the structure of folders inside lightroom, it seemed that all the files have been imported correctly.  But there was a "?" from the folder.  I assumed that I just needed to do a "find" on the X drive as I thought that my lightroom catalog could have been pointing to the G drive.  Locate, but cannot find the files.  I've used windows explore to browse my files and the folders and files were all missing, with the exception of a folder where I shot some photos with a camera, about 100 photos in all.  Thousands of photos from other cameras were all absent.

    So next time, I ran a scan disk and windows came with a message of repair.  The repair said that it worked successfully.  But I looked in the Explorer, the files were still missing.  I ran a scan disk again and no error found.

    I looked in the trash on the desktop and there is no files on this disc.  If the missing files are still missing.  I had not saved the files yet since they were really vacation photos and have no critical and since I was going to save them after that I spent in review on the workstation.  Some are still on the cards and could be retrieved.  But I formatted my main map at least a couple of times and I'm afraid that most would have been crushed and is more viable, even using the card recovery software.

    Before you begin importing today, I don't check the disk to make sure that all my files were there.  There is no error in windows at startup and I don't mind just to check in Explorer or open the 'new' catalog first.

    1. Could Lightroom have somehow deleted files and can they be retrieved?
    2. Assuming that it was a Windows / hard drive error, can anyone recommend a program attempt to recover files lost like that?  Given that the entire folders, sound also lack if the index of the obtained partially erased disc.  But maybe the files are still there.  Then there is a program to search for them?

    Note that the other files on this drive all seem to be good.  The only missing are import of today.

    It is drive X:, but the files are not there.
    portable version is 2015.6

    Desktop version is 2015.5

    Somehow, the windows removed them.  I use EaseUS data recovery to retrieve them.  He had no problem finding the files.  So I guess we can mark this resolved.

  • Why Firefox tells me "another program is using the file" 1 hour after the update of Firefox, when I click on the desktop icon?

    It happened when I tried to update c. 16 to 17 as well. I had go it and download v. 18 and he told me that she had and he asked me to restart Firefox. I clicked on the "Restart Firefox" button. He closed Firefox 17. I waited an hour and no Firefox had begun. I clicked on the icon on my desktop for Firefox, and I got a window with "another program is using the file.

    The last time that happened, I had to uninstall v. 16, use Opera 12.12 to download version 17 and then installed, to have to set my preferences just a little and then I could start v. 17.

    Why update your program allows me to update, instead of downloading a new program?

    I'm on Windows XP SP3 and a very fast motherboard.

    Finally, I decided to check if my AVG antivirus or IOBit Malware Fighter software is interfering and I disabled them temporarily. I restarted and then turned off these programs and then opens Firefox. It was as usual, 17.0.1 version not updated. I went to help, on Firefox, click Find updates. Downloading updates, invited to restart Firefox, and after closing Firefox, I got the window that says that he was installing the updates, for the first time for an attempt to update to version 17 or 18. He installed the updates and restarted in fact without any problems.

    I was about to turn off all of my Add-ons for the next test. I never had to disable my AVG or IOBit before and they are the latest versions, too. AVG is the same version that allowed the update to v. 16 before. If something is different both Firefox 17 and 18, that it will not allow updates with AVG in force (or possibly IOBit Malware Fighter).
