Update Flash seems to have bricked my phone; Please do not laugh

I am at a loss here.

So last night I was watching Netflix and YouTube, and the next thing I knew, that Norton NIS started popping up warnings multiple 'Rootkit blocked', and then YouTube stopped working. It seemed that the Flash drive is malfunctioning. It would show a black box empty when the video is, and I would be with the right button on it, I would say just "will not charged animation" in the context menu.

After a few minutes of YouTube not working not at all, I got a dialog box install a Flash update, which usually occurs at startup. Made sense, so I clicked on it, but it does not solve anything. Norton skipped a few messages more "blocked Rootkit' identical and then pops up a message that"reboot is required to continue fixing your computer."

I did backup my most important info, so I'm not completely stupid, but everything as I figured, once I hit the restart, the computer itself in bricks. It won't start Windows. I get an error message, then a screen dialog black BIOS or the POST or what you call asking "start Windows normally" or in "repair" mode Starting loops normally just back to the same error and repair mode dialog asking the boot floppy, which I cannot find at the moment.

Now, if that were the only problem, it's one thing, but here's the real problem:

That treat everything with Flash broken on YouTube and then Flash attempts to upgrade and Norton NIS misunderstanding the Flash update for a rootkit... it's going on my second computer now. I'm not going to run a Flash update, and I'm in no hurry to even restart the computer more, until I understand what just happened here.

If anyone can help me? What could happen?

It is a 220 X.

Well, thank you for all the answers; There everything went well enough. It seems it was well a virus masquerading as a updated Flash, and I'm inclined to think that it happened because I jumped with months and months of Windows updates.

I had been using a SSD cloned, so I dropped my old drive hard in and went from there, install all Windows updates and antivirus updates. I used a separate computer to scan the SSD infected on a USB adapter, and it turned a simple virus "trogan.gen". Once it has been cleaned, I ripped all my new files on a separate hard drive and wiped the SSD and then used to clone the hard disk again. Back in business.

I guess I could have tried to rescue the SSD without having to shoot anything, but it's so much easier to clone the HDD again, given that I had no new paid software.

  • 2.2 update seems to have killed my phone

    by using updater 2.2 provided by Motorola, I followed the instructions up to the moment when he said that I had to reboot phone and plug it in again to continue. Now when I turn on my phone I get the "pulse" Android logo and there is never a more far.

    I tried to do a factory reset (hold down the camera button when you turn it on) and following the troubleshooting in the help file (low perforations #, * and the power button when you insert the battery - arm how do you think I have?), but none of them do anything and he gets past the "M" logo as Android animation where it gets stuck.

    I had similar problems before, often, it does not start the first time and I have to remove the battery, but it never had that day and it was in the middle of a software update. Any help would be appreciated

    Enter in recovery mode (hold X in your keyboard while turning on the phone, if this does not work, hold the DPAD UP) and then do a factory reset, no doubt there is something in/data that the new version is not love and a factory reset which will solve. But you will lose all your applications and data. I would try that in this case. Good luck!

    The problem is not resolved, in another forum, it has been suggested that I have to remove the battery and run the update.  It worked, I still don't know why this has happened, but it seems to be OK now.  I worked on restoring the phone to its old self.  Although process when all third party applications must be reinstalled individually.  Now, I'm looking for a backup application that backs up everything including third party applications, what a pain it is.

    Thanks for responding.

  • Alienware 17 R2 in brick after that Dell does not provide support

    Hi all

    After having had several contacts with the Alienware support by phone about a is not fan of work that I have posted my question in this forum on 29 November. Alienware support did not provide a potential solution since 3 days ago said fan problem due to my system to block during a BIOS flash. Now my system seems to have damaged the BIOS and does not start even more.

    I'm extremely dissatisfied with dell technical support. How is it possible that after nearly two months no service has been provided, even if my product is still under warranty?

    If anyone has an idea how to fix damaged BIOS on an Alienware 17 R2 it would be really appreciated.

    I had a similar problem. The solution is here:

    You do not need actually to plug the battery, you can also leave it can work to dry, and then go ahead with the procedure...

    I hope this helps.

    PS: you need the right BIOS file of course.

  • Update of Flash Player seems to have reset Firefox.

    Windows Vista up to date. Last update of Firefox. Latest update of Flash Player.

    I followed the prompt to update Flash Player as usual, which opened and ran through Internet Explorer (sharing computer, IE is the default browser). After download and installation of update of the FP, it opened the "Step 3" FP in Firefox page, apparently it crashing in the process.

    Normally, Firefox opens with 2 pinned tabs (which is Pandora) and all that is left in the last browsing session. This time he opened with a darkened/unloaded (the page tab "FF crashed") and the stage of FP Adobe page 3 in the 2nd tab 2 tabs, that has been loaded. No other tabs pinned or other. Opening FF opens the start page of FF and not the other tabs. The normal configuration is listed in the story under "Restore Windows closed" ("Restore closed tabs" has a separate list).

    Opening from the previous installation to "Restore the windows closed" reveals the installer, though Pandora has become indeed inadmissible (cache, cookies, history, etc. has been deleted) due to a buggy script. However, regardless of where I sail, FF never restores the previous session (as it is supposed to), but rather by default is the start page.

    I have not tried resetting FF, in the hope of a better solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Please try reinstalling Flash, it is possible to restore the session restore file in the folder of your profile to an earlier version. But firstly I would recommend to backup and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox

    If you have not saved the document before the reboot - and Windows always give a lot of warning before restarting automatically - while the file disappeared.  There is no way to recover; System Restore does apply to system files, not data.

    SOLVED!

    I am running windows 7 Home premium sp1 on an acer aspire 5250.

    When I went to bed last night, everything was fine, but I went down this morning and my screen was bright until what I moved the mouse and then it went dim. I have connected and had a notification of update windows successfully but I noticed my icon at the bottom of the screen wasn't there (my internet connection icon disappeared too) I tried to restart the notebook and it's the same: bright screen until I moved the mouse and then dim. I went into Control Panel and tried to open it 'power options' and nothing happens. No error message, it responds just as if I had not clicked. I clicked at random on one couple of other options that responded normally it seems to just be food options that do not work. Can anyone help?

    I also found my anti virus has been turned off and would not restart. I've uninstalled and restarted the computer and all problems are gone! Problem solved.
