Update the BIOS has a Trojan horse

I have been a problem with my computer and finally was the wick of the ball and update to the latest BIOS version when I was arrested by the McAfee anti-virus.  I have a HP Pavilion model number a6257c.  At present, it has BIOS rev 5.21.  The most recent BIOS rev on the HP website is 5.23 (for this model of computer).  After you download the sp37378.exe file, I double clicked it.  In these conditions, frustrated by the other problem I had (which I'll detail in the portage on the other), I forgot to disable the McAfee real-time analysis.  Just before I was on the click the OK button to continue with the upgrade of the BIOS, a window of McAfee popped-up informing me that it has detected a Trojan horse on my system.  Knowing that the only thing I did was upgrading the BIOS, I abandoned the upgrade of BIOS to investigate the message from McAfee.  Of course, check the McAfee log, he showed that in the flash.exe (created when I double click on the sp37378.exe file) contained a "Trojan" called "New Maleware.jj" following the links displayed in the journal of McAfee, I found this web page: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_153095.htm.  It is listed as a threat of "Low".

So now finally my question, is it planned in the upgrade of the HP BIOS?

I downloaded the BIOS file and scanned with AVG - no viruses. I extracted the temp files and scanned the files checked - no viruses.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it seems that the windows version of the BIOS is available for this model of laptop.

    In any case, I wonder why you have updated the BIOS of your laptop. Many users of the forum mentioned that the update of the BIOS is risky!
    The bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure can damage the motherboard specifications ROM!

    Did you follow the directions of update of the BIOS that is available on the Toshiba page?
    Generally everyone should plant after that law updated the procedure

    You said stuck and need to restart windows
    Well I think that something was wrong during the update process and so the phone doesn't display anything!

    This doesn't sound good! In my opinion, you must contact the ASP in your country because after the wrong BIOS only laptop technician could save the unit!

    Good luck

    No BIOS updates to the still for your 320-1030 TS, based on 'Software downloads & Driver for HP TouchSmart 320-1030 desktop'. Do not expect to see an update that supports a CPU "unlocked" as HP does not generally support this configuration.

    I tried updating the bios with the winflash utility of toshiba-site official. He created a backup file and pasted into the half of the process.

  • Satellite Pro A300-1NT - update of the BIOS has not

    Hi, I'm an island here can someone help me solve this problem without sending it to the workshop of maintenance if possible.

    I've just updated tempro informed me a bios update. I ran the update, but it froze completely the system (Vista). I waited 15 minutes to show no sign of life (flashing lights or unlocking system) and then I turned it off thinking the thing crashed. Now, it won't turn.

    Is there a way to fix this? As it is turned on, it checks the cd player, can be resolved by updating the bios from a cd? Or a flash key?

    Help please :(

    Unfortunately, a botched BIOS update cannot be solved only by an authorized Toshiba dealer.

  • Update the BIOS - protected A600 problem

    I'm trying to update my BIOS settings on my laptop (that I was invited to do by the service of Toshiba hardware update).

    I followed all the instructions provided by the program because it extracted and ran the update. However, the computer began the reboot process, but has been 'disconnected' windows (Vista Business) for about an hour now. I don't know how to stop the process without causing serious damage to my BIOS, but this does not seem normal.

    Help, please!

    Hi wilreb...

    I think that the user henharas a bad experience with the BIOS updates.
    I updated the BIOS many times and never had any problems...

    I assume you mean on Tempro software... this software informs you about updates on the Toshiba page. It is not a recommendation for an update, but simply an alert that new updates has been published...

    If your laptop is running properly, then update the BIOS is not really necessary...
    You must follow these tips; never change a running system ;)

    In any case, after the update of the BIOS shouldn't take too long and if she has completed, you should see the new version in the BIOS settings...

  • Is it possible to update the BIOS for the Satellite A110 (PSAB0) and Windows7?

    Hi all

    I recently installed Windows 7 on Toshiba Satellite A110 (PSAB0).
    The version of the system BIOS is v1.30
    I want to Flash the BIOS for you last version v2.0.
    This version is released in January 2009, before the introduction of Windows 7.

    There are two versions of the BIOS download, one "for Vista only' and one 'OS independent.
    I think I have to go to the operating system independent.
    Link: [update BIOS | http://www.toshiba.nl/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EN&selCategory = 8 & selFamily = 192 & selSeries = 236 & selProduct = 661 & STAS hortMod = 478 & language = 1 = 12 & selOS & selType = 4 & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & we eDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 24 & selectedLanguage = 12 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 66230 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

    Independent of the OS has warning: + "this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!" + "

    So here's my question: this BIOS version is compatible with Windows 7?

    Thank you very much!!

    AJ.

    Hello

    I think that this BIOS (v2.0) is not released for Windows 7 and that it has also not been tested with Windows 7. This BIOS has published 21.01.2009 and Windows 7 was released on July 22, 2009. However, on the other hand it s not mentioned that this BIOS is not compatible with Win 7.

    But the fact is that only Windows 7 doesn't is NOT supported on this laptop.

    Windows 7 drivers are not out on Sat A110, but this does not mean that you couldn't install Win 7 on this device. Of course, you can install the Win 7 system, but Toshiba does not provide any Win 7 software for this series.

    Back to BIOS update:
    In your case I would try not to update the BIOS if the laptop works properly.
    Why? Because the update of the BIOS is still a technique sensitive and you could damage it the motherboard if something goes wrong during the update of the BIOS.

  • HP Envy 13-d053sa: update the bios

    When I rebooted my laptop today (10 June 2016), it displays a message saying that the BIOS has been updated but could not proceed because the machine was not connected. I plugged in and let it continue. Now my fingerprint reader stopped working again!... I had to re - load Win10 recently to make it back after a corruption of the registry and I don't want to have to re - load again so what can I do to recover my fingerprint reader? Thank you.

    Solved.

    I went to the control panel and the updated driver, and now it works again.

  • Portege R600 - cannot update the BIOS using Win server 2008

    Hi all.

    Pls help...

    I tried to update my bios to the new version, but I can't.

    I just downloaded bios update of the toshiba site for portage r600 for my model number (bios update 1.80 - winner), I unzip the zip, run the exe, but error popup came:

    Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.2.9
    Unsupported product type is installed.
    Package BIOS BIOS Version: Ver.1.80
    Current BIOS version: Ver.1.40

    So my question is what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to update my bios from windows.

    is my version of windows: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64 SP1 (don't ask why, I just have to run Server 2008)

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege
    You cannot update the BIOS by using the windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64

    You will need to put the system which has been pre-installed by Toshiba

  • Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

    I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

    After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

    1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

    2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

    Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

    After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

    Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

    After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.

  • Satellite Pro 6000 - how can I update the BIOS?

    Hi all

    I have the problem that my laptop does not start 9 of 10 times with the message: * block 1 BIOS is damaged, call your service man.

    I want to update BIOS but for the Satellite Pro 6000 I can only find an update the BIOS from Windows. But my laptop does not start! Rarely the machine starts, but when I try to update the BIOS, I get the message that I already have the latest version of the BIOS

    My questions:
    * Is there a BIOS update file that is a BIOS floppy? (for example the Satellite Pro 6100 has 2 BIOS files, 1 Windows and 1 making a floppy disk)
    * Is it possible to update the BIOS with the same version of Windows?

    Or perhaps there is another solution for this problem? Has no need to update my BIOS?

    Thank you.

    Hans

    Hello

    I agree with Luke.
    The rom Bios module seems to be damage.
    Either it must be replaced or flashed again.

    But you won't be able to do that! The update of the Bios on the Toshiba page focuses on winning and you will not be able to update if the windows are not running.

    You last chance is an ASP that could check the BIOS ROM.
    As I said, most high, maybe new reflash module Rom help but cela can be answered simply by an ASP technician who checked this.

  • Update the BIOS Tecra M11 - 11L: to get power on display on two screens?

    Y at - it a BIOS update that lets me select "BOTH" as an option for the power on the screen?
    Currently, it lists only internal and automatic selection.

    Automatic selection outputs only to the external screen if it is connected.
    I need set the default output on both screens.

    Older Toshibas to this. In fact, all other Toshiba I used has this feature.
    Like a laptop rental/presentation/Conference, this is an important feature.

    And Yes, I've updated the BIOS with the latest version.

    Thank you

    Ben

    > Self-select out only on the external screen if it is connected.
    > I need set the default output on both screens.

    No, it doesn't have this BIOS update that would add this option.

  • Qosmio G30 PQG31E - no driver XP 32? Cannot update the BIOS?

    As usual, obtained a computer laptop, but no recovery CD :(

    Got 32 installed XP (my Microsoft contract does not MCE) but a lot of missing drivers. Driver Toshiba page has all the drivers for XP MCE, XP 32 has only BIOS update, Bluetooth, HD - DVD firmwares, the virtual sound and drivers WI - FI!

    So I tought "Vista on this issue", but I checked the compatibility XP with Vista DVD I got a 'need to update the BIOS' (always a 1.40-2006/03/10)!
    My problem is that BIOS update always returns "this computer is not supported! Laptop has only one account, this isn't permissions problem, perhaps because many drivers are not present? Can I update the BIOS in safe mode?

    What now? Am stuck with a brick of Qosmio? Without controllers LAN to say the least, I can't not fact! Drivers XP MCE does work on XP 32?

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    I found all the Win XP drivers for Qosmio G30 PQG31E!
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the Win XP MCE drivers
    XP MCE drivers are the same drivers for Win XP Home or Pro.

    There are also some BIOS 3, 90-WIN and this BIOS is operating system independent. In other words, it works with Win XP and Vista...

    To update the BIOS the common Module must be installed
    You can find also on the European driver Toshiba page!

  • Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64-Bit Windows 7 updated - update the BIOS?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G50 that I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. My BIOS is unupdated for 6 months when I bought the machine.

    I went to update the BIOS, just to keep things updated, so I went through the pilot Online Assistant:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    And all information entered above, it provides:

    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090312131718.zip

    After having unpacked and P0060v210.exe running, he extracted, and then said:

    "The [error] BIOS update is not taken in charge of operating system. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. "(Word to all my friends of Googling!).

    Toshiba has an update of the BIOS for the Qosmio G50 is supported on Windows 7? Specifically for the 64-bit? They need to fix this glitch which orders to download this file when it is not clearly supported by Windows 7.

    Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it worked fine - but I was nervous about going through the update if it didn't initially support Windows 7, so I do not continue to the next prompt. Is it safe to do? Has anyone else in this situation he does without problems? I read the BIOS updates can go horribly wrong, if not careful, so I hesitate to update the BIOS by performing the update in compatibility mode when it doesn't support Windows 7 on its own!

    Thanks in advance for any help and Merry Christmas.

    Hello

    I agree with bljuzga_1.
    Because the BIOS is independent, it shouldn't be a problem with the update using Win 7 OS.
    The error must be linked to your installed Win 7 OS and not the BIOS bug.

    It would also be possible that your value added package for Win 7 is not installed correctly.
    This package contains the TOSHIBA components common driver which is an essential component of the Windows operating system. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.
