• Thought I had a virus - running SLOW

  Running XP home. I thought I had a virus/spy/badly. Tried to open Add / Remove programs and it won't fill. Tried to start > run > regsvr32 appwiz.cpl and got the Dll RegisterServer in appwiz.cpl succeeded. Still not filling. Tried to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and all subfolders are here.

  I ran several comprehensive analyses for several days (MS malware, security essentials, scan security; Lavasoft Ad-Aware. Spybot Search & destroy. AVG; Norton; Gleary Registry Cleaner and a few others, I don't remember). All say no virus, spyware or potential unwanted software detected. I have two hard drives (one for the programs, data) so enough free space. Is it all turns very slowly, especially when I try to run scans. It's like my computer is fighting to keep them from leaving.

  It started while I had Comcast install digital phone. Connection or coincidence?  My online experience goes to web sites is at the same speed as before - wired for internet access.

  Any suggestions before I have to wipe my hard drive?

• Overheating on Equium A60-155

  Hi all

  I've owned an equium a60-155 for almost a year now, it has been discovered, but recently it began to close, which I suppose is overheating.

  the vents are clear and unblocked, although the area around the Equium logo (top right of the base unit) feels very warm after a closed random

  I use the machine for work and play and sometimes watching DVDs

  for about 2 weeks, ao that the machine started randomly turning its self, without warning, the machine sits on a table and the underside and rear passages are clear

  There is no virus/spy/software advertising on my machine and all programs are updated

  Anyone know of a cause or a solution to my problem?

  Thanks in advance

  Jake Houghton

  Hello

  Well, if there are cooling vents are free and not dirty, so I guess that the cooling fans are working properly. In this case, what you can do is to check the settings for standby power.
  Try changing the method of control of the CPU to Auto. Also, check if the cooling method is set for maximum performance.

• Antivirus online scan

  How can I scan my conputer to support online for viruses, spy goods etc.?

  You have Windows XP, and I suppose you think you have some kind of malware, that you must clean your machine...  Given nothing more than that - here is the procedure, I would propose to you:

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  To keep your computer safe in the future, you can useMicrosoft Security Essentials , which is a free software from Microsoft, which provides coverage in real time to your PC at home that protects against viruses, spy software and other malicious software.

• Microsoft ON essential to keep all the time automatically, when the PC is turned OFF? I don't know to do.

  Dear Sir/Mam...

  I installed Microsoft essential to protect my notebook of virus & spy ware. When I turn off my laptop sound off automatically. Please send me the details to keep essential Microsoft on all the time, even my laptop is OFF please. Icon for turn on essential Microsoft whenever I start my computer. I can't find the related parameters in the ICONS.

  Once a computer is turned off, it's... Well well, off the coast.  But not just asleep, off.  By the definition of 'off' it does nothing.  Microsoft Security Essentials is a program and only works when the computer is turned on, as all of your other programs.  You cannot run a program when the computer is turned off.  The good news is that a computer is turned off is completely protected against malware are malicious software programs and does not work either.  There is absolutely no need to have anything by protecting your computer when it is turned off.  That said, I think that your concern doesn't really MSE all the time, but that's automatically done already when you turn on your laptop.  Not to worry.

  You see the pop-up warning that MSE has not yet started Microsoft.  If you click on the Start button in the pop - up notification MSE should start (but not immediately).  It may take a minute or two.  If you wait just MSE must start with itself and the notice will go away without having to do anything.

  I see the same thing when I run one of my virtual machines that you see when you start your laptop.  I'm very familiar with it.  It goes away in a few minutes and only means that from MSE wasn't the first thing the computer did when I turned on.  Windows moves to finally start MSE, but you can the long hurry up if you want.

  To manually start Microsoft Security Essentials, find its icon on the lower right side of your taskbar (called the "notification area").  The icon looks like a Red House with an X on it.  Right-click on the icon and choose open on the pop up list.  The MSE window opens on the desktop.  Click on "Start it now" button in the window that appears.  The window fades.  It may take a little time to start the MSE.  When everything is OK, home in the notification area icon will turn green with a check mark.

  When I see the Red House, I usually just give the computer a few minutes to complete marketing and the problem goes away on its own.  On rare occasions I start MSE myself.

• Adobe flash wont install get error message

  two days while I was playing the apps that I always play when the updated page it said I had to update my flashplayer so I clicked on the link to update downloaded flash player and has started to install when I got an error code, now I can't play any of my games. I use windows vista operating system and mozilla firefox browser. Can anyone help please?

  I went in my computer, windows, c:\windows\system32\macromed, flash and the only things there were the following...

  flashplayer.expt

  Install (text document)

  I know that there must be more files for the program, I think that something may be missing, although I don't know what, or if it still has something to do with her installation. I have adobe.com added to my list of modules on firefox. I don't think it should be a problem with my firewall as someone else suggested because there is no problem in downloading the program just install, I have enough memory too, so this isn't the problem. would that only vista?

  Hi, I think your screen name reflects the sense of all those who have problems with FP :-) However, it is almost always

  not the Flash Player causing the problems.

  In your Flash file as you say not all the required files are installed.

  The problem could be just what you have listed.

  A firewall/anti-virus/spy program can certainly prevent an installation.

  Using your FF browser do this:

  I would like to uninstall Adobe here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html put this on your desktop, do not run it

  yet. Then, download and SAVE to your desktop: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

  Once you have on your desk, then disconnect from the Internet, disable any what anti-virus/Spyware that runs in real time, disable one firewall other than Windows and look for one he would use Flash & disable the system tray.

  Run the uninstall program, when you are finished and then Reboot when fully charged, restart again (to clear old files)

  Then run the installation program and once finished, reboot once.

  Reactivate your firewall and anti-virus/Spyware programs and connect to the Internet

  Click here to test: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about

  Make sure that the files in your Flash file and the FF plugin SWF and that it is installed and activated.

  Post back your results, or if you have any questions beforehand.

  Thank you

  @instacat

  If you are depending on the modules that come with security programs, stick with Firefox versions and then wait a week or ten days after Mozilla releases a new version of Firefox to install the new version of Firefox. This should give the people who created your security program some time to fix what they need to fix with their Firefox modules.

  Some of these security program providers are better than others with regard to the speed at which they update their Firefox Add-ons. Used to be among the worst in terms of the speed of their updates of Norton, with Firefox 3.6 and 4.0 it took them 8 weeks and then 6 weeks to have their Firefox Add-ons ready for their Firefox using clients. With the two latest versions of Firefox, Norton had a patch ready with their ready Add-ons Firefox update day, that Mozilla has released the two Firefox 5 and then Firefox 6versions 6-21 and 8-16.

  These companies have no valid reason for not having their stuff ready to their customers when Mozilla releases a new version of Firefox. There is nothing secret about when emissions are going to happen, the pre-releases are available for testing for all those who want to download them, there are a few freezes that occur during various stages of development of some types of codes for a developer to Add - we can know about what will not change before the release of a specific version of the code , and the final construction of a new version is ready on as Thursday before a release Tuesday by Mozilla, so that they have like 5 days to test their 'product' with the final version that Firefox users will be updated to the actual release date. Basically these guys just needs to fulfill their obligation to their customers much better and faster.

  Note: I'm just another user of Firefox, I don't work for Mozilla
