update the virus remains (?) is preventing windows

A few weeks, my computer has been infected by some pretty nasty virus (pdfjsc. TQ and Rogue.FakeHDD) and, even after cleaning the computer and performed a system restore, some side effects of the virus were still present. From what I read online, this particular virus makes a copy of the file paths of the shortcut for the office, as well as internet Favorites shortcuts, to a temporary internet folder, delete the original shortcuts, then adds the attribute 'hidden' to all files and folders on the hard drive. To make things worse, it's somehow able to create a rule that denies access to all file/folder hidden, even at the administrative level.

After a long and tedious way to solve this problem, the computer was still usable, but I couldn't not updates, automatic or manual. This problem has applied to both Windows Update and Malewarebytes updated. I also kept getting strange messages on my ATI catalyst control center host application. After a brief runthough of my hard drive, I noticed that there are still folders with the hidden attribute. I was able to view the records relating to the malewarebytes and ATI, but maintains his distance on all other folders change. I can now update malwarebytes and my MSE, and weird host ATI application messages no longer appear.

When you try to use windows update, I get a message telling me to check "allow the persistence of the user" in the internet options, even if this option is enabled.

So my question is: what files or folders I have display to be able to use windows update, and what can I do to "uncreated" rule that prevents access to hidden files?

I am running Windows XP with SP3.

  • Can I update the bios with software for windows vista?

    I have a HP Pavilion a1747c desktop computer and I need to update BIOS for virtualization technology. However the update the BIOS only supports Windows Vista, and I have Windows 7. Can I still updated it somehow?

    Yes, you may be able to extract the actual BIOS file of the installation package compressed and use a flash routine appropriate for flashing BIOS under another operating system, but you do so at your own risk. Any damage to your computer by using this process is at your own risk and you take responsibility for it.

  • How to update the model of RDS for Windows Server 2012 collection?

    Hi team,

    I want to know how to update the collection of RDS model (model master sysprep) which is used to create the collection?

    I tried the below way but did not get the update of the collection of virtual machines.

    -Start the image of mater of sysprep

    -install the required components

    -resysprep the image and stop it

    -East went to the RDS Collection and added new virtual machines in collection (removed the old his)

    Once created, I opened a session in the machines, but I don't see the updates (I installed some software in the sysprep image however and no is not there in the virtual machines in the pool)

    Can someone let me know if I need to create a whole collection again or the way I do it is a proper way? If it's a good way what could be the reason why I get the new installed software model sysprep image in virtual machines created in the pool, based on the model?

    How do we actually updated for security and other regular patches updated in virtual machines? In my view, we use the same approach?

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Kind regards

  • What's an update? "Updating the functionality of Autorun in Windows"

    I have an update that claims to be from MS that says it will update the AutoPlay feature, but it seems it downgrade to the 1990s, by removing support for devices other than optical disc and add multi-step manual required to use some of the features currently available in AutoPlay.  Is this really the millisecond, and if so, what would be the possible gain by installing this upgrade?

    If the original computer that has been updated for Windows 7 comes with Vista while the copy of Vista is an OEM product and cannot be used on any other computer than the one it came with.  If the version of Win 7 is an upgrade, not a full retail product version, then the original Vista is still attached to this computer (as the qualifier for the upgrade) and can not be installed on another computer, even if it was a full retail product and OEM No.

  • Basic Windows file to update the BIOS

    After starting to run the update stops with the message "you must be logged in as an administrator to install this update".

    I am the administrator only this computer has ever known... using Vista Home Premium 32 bit and try to update the BIOS before migrating to Windows 7.  The computer is HP a6040n desktop.

    Wow.

    • CPU microcode updates.
    • Updates AWDFLASH v115M for SPI MXIC Flash Support.

    Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, your Background Intelligent Transfer Services set to Automaticand started and Windows Update ? They both should be started. You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

    Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually.

    (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
    (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309).
    3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run.  You must accept the agreement and then click on continue.
    (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
    (5) to rerun the update from Microsoft, click find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

    If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or can clear the virus that can prevent the installation of the patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and then Quick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.
