• The purpose of doing a virus scan after Windows starts in safe mode?

  I've heard some suggestions that, in certain circumstances, it is best to do a virus scan after Windows starts in safe mode. So I have two questions:

  (1) would what type of circumstances you perform a scan antivirus in safe mode?

  (2) what are the advantages or disadvantages?

  I have found no reliable info that answers to these questions and would be grateful for any info, or even just a point in the right direction.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The advantage is that some process and services are not loaded in Mode without failure there is less chance
  This malware can load and interfere with the process. The downside is the same if its best
  to run the malware checks mode safe and then in Windows. Or run in Windows and as appropriate
  difficult to remove malware is detected then run in Mode safe, then in Windows.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

• Then Toshiba send me a new windows disk?

  I brought my laptop for Christmas, he came with a windows disk (they can be on at the bottom of the box, I'll check when I get home) but came pre-loaded with Windows Vista.
  I have a few XP discs but I don't want to go back to XP now.
  So, if I don't have a disc, is it possible to send off for one?

  I want to format due to orders does not and mutiple errors on start up.
  This and it has been incredibly slow. I tried to search for viruses with McAffe and AVG, as well as appropriate Norton and it will not find anything at all, despite the obvious sighs.

  Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I couldn't tell...

  Who and what Set Up Utility?
  Can I use it? When I start my laptop, it's by "menu boot entry.

  Hello

  > So, if I don't have a disc, is it possible to send off for one?
  I put t know what laptop you have, but I guess that your laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery.
  This allows you to recover the laptop without using any disk recovery.

  Of course, there is an option to create an own recovery DVDs. You read operating instructions!

  From my experience, you could use the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

• How can I do to repair Windows Vista if I don't have a disk drive & asks me to insert the Windows disk and select Repair.

  I have a netbook with no disk drive that is running Windows Vista.  When I try to turn it on, it tells me that a file is missing or damaged and that I have to install my Windows disk and select repair.  Seeing that I don't have a hard drive on my computer, How can I do to repair vista windows?

  Hello

  Netbooks have the option to reinstall the operating system to when it was new.

  They have a recovery Partition on their hard drives the same as most laptops and desktops...

  You should ask the Netbook Manufactuter for particular key sequence to begin a recovery.

  Some manufacturer's instructions are to press F10 or F11 at startup; others are Alt + F10, etc..

  The installed software doesn't have knowledge written in programming to realize that you have a Netbook and you are unable to insert the disc. That's the way it is written, unfortunately: one size.

  And some more expensive Netbooks now have a DVD player.

  See you soon.

• Need to recover a file deleted by Windows Disk Protection

  Yesterday, I created an important file on a computer that has Windows Disk Protection enabled on drive C: (I wasn't aware of this). The computer, and then deleted everything is new on the C: drive, as well as my file. Since then, the computer has been restarted several times and I think that Windows Disk Protection was turned off to install a program, then turned back on, then the cache file has been removed.

  I know it's probably a plight, but is it possible to retrieve the file?

  First make sure you recycle bin to see if it is there - if so just restore and you're in business.

  If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

  In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try this second - if this does not work the chances of recovery are very slim, but you can try other products if you want - it is up to you)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/restoration.html

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/downloads/Recuva/dlrecuva.html

  http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

  http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

  The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

  Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!
