• TB don't DL msgs - DL Will one msg, a same, think I have a virus?

  Messages see 'X', but only try to DL, receiving a message - even one - over and over. Do not open it. He said it as "Ivan". The line Re said "Baby". Don't know anyone by that name. Think there might be a virus or something or system is infected if not.

• seems to have a virus embeded in Firefox

  When you use Firefox 14.0.1 unawares, I'll see a white Flash on the screen. After investigation, I find something (a virus) has opened a new window and take me to a page of advertising. The defination of a virus is something that takes control over your computer, it does. It allows me to close the window, although he fights to keep it open. I normally run Microsoft Security Essentials and did that and... Security Scanner Microsoft, Microsoft software Malious, Spybot, Malwarebytes, and Windows Defender-offline removal tool. None can find something. Yet it continues to happen. Any help would be appreciated. any suggestions? It's boring, but I could live with it, but since this isn't just I never know what else he could do, and that scares me.

• When I click on a link, multiple (and by multiple, I mean a ton) virgins of open tabs. The only way to stop several blank tabs opening must out firefox is completely closed. Do I have a virus or should I change my settings?

  If I click on something to open in a new tab or click on the email from someone open Outlook, instead, a group of empty tabs open. I'm fine with a few empty tabs, but they keep opening. The only way to stop the opening tabs is to close entirely out of firefox. When I try to reopen firefox, blank tabs are again starting to reopen. You can not close out of them pretty quickly because they keep opening. To not open the empty tabs, you must restart firefox again.

  What is a virus or something wrong with my firefox settings?

  Firefox includes options of how to manage the different types of content in your case that mailto links are probably set to "Use Firefox". For more information on how to solve it see Firefox opens several times empty tabs or windows after clicking on a link, especially the section "change the action for a content type.

• Satellite L500-1XL - strange Windows 7 error - hardware failure or virus?

  Hi people,

  I am running windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XL.

  About 6 weeks, Windows refuses to load.
  I would get the "Toshiba" screen, then on startup of Windows startup, but then nothing else than a black screen with an icon of the mouse (mobile).

  I could not in safe mode, and Toshiba built in recovery utility would not work.
  "Even using the Toshiba ' product recovery" DVD did nothing, even if the drive was some strange, repetitive clicks for this, so I suspected a faulty hard drive. (Possibly where the MBR has been OK, but the data weren't?)

  In any case, I put in a replacement HARD drive (backups are a wonderful thing BTW!) and DVD recovery charge perfectly and everything seemed fine.

  About 2 weeks later, I had the same problem
  ("Toshiba" Windows startup splash screen, but then nothing but a black screen with a mouse (mobile), no safe mode icon; no recovery utility)

  This time, however the product recovery DVDs worked fine first time.

  Another 2 weeks and the same problem will reoccur; This time, it took another HARD disk for the recovery media to work.

  So my question is, really, what could be causing this anomaly?

  Would it be a virus which is corrupt something that is preventing Windows from loading? And the 'prevention' so that I can not load even the recovery utilities?

  In this case might it also prevent the loading product recovery DVD?

  Or am I looking at an intermittent fault with the connector on the HARD drive that can be either physically damage the drive or at least prevent it from loading?

  I read about the so-called "Windows Black Screen of Death", but I'm sure this isn't that.

  All the advice accepted with gratitude...

  > So my question is really what could be causing this anomaly?
  I doubt it s a virus or something like that, but nothing is impossible.

  In my experience, the data on the HARD drive can be affected by different software.
  In my case, the data on the HARD drive was corrupted, because the 3rd party software changed some files and the master boot record is damaged.
  I formatted the HARD drive and created new partitions.

  I also use the CCleaner and I defragment the HARD disk several times in the week.
  Since the HARD drive and the data are ok and didn t notice such symptoms more.

  Maybe you should try this too

• Choice of the browser downloaded on my computer I deleted it (thinking it was the virus) but now problems

  I use IE7 on a Windows XP Home Edition computer. The other day I noticed a new icon on my desk, 'browser choice '. This thought was a virus or something of mischievous I deleted all records related to the it search in the start menu option. However, since the deletion, I get the icon in my task bar that updates are ready to be installed, which is "Browser Microsoft Choice screen Update for users of the EEA of Windows XP (KB976002)". When I try and install the update, it gives me an error message saying that there can be no error code: 0x800F0102. This update comes on my computer every time I turn it on now and it seems to be very slow. I tried to restore my computer to a start time, but it does make a difference. I also did a virus scan and malware. Can someone help me solve the problem any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Thank you very much I did all that, fingers crossed! Thanks again.

  Hi all

  I found the solution to my problem - cannot restore Windows XP backup file (BKF) files.

  Site Web Sysinfo Tools offer tools to repair/restore BKF utility.  In my case, I got the program of BKF recover V2.0.  Program works on all versions of Windows (up to Windows 7).

  BKF recovery program reads Windows XP generated backup file, repair and then restore the files, very fast and efficient.

• Blue Screen error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA & IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL after I found a redirect virus

  The other day I noticed that I had a virus that was redirecting my searches on Google to scour.com. I used my anti-virus installed (PC-Cillin) and downloaded Malware Bytes removed the virus. Since then, my computer always gives me the blue screen of death once it starts. Startup of Windows and the programs that are supposed to start start to leave, but after a few minutes I STILL get the blue screen of death, and I'm getting various messages including IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (no driver is listed), I also gottene PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA; It seems to be a different problem each time. What is going on? I still have a virus or something?
  I tried the system restore, does not solve the problem. When I try to change the registry through the command prompt in safe mode to copy the \RegBack\ file beforehand, I get a "sharing violation". How can I fix the registry through safe mode?

  Hello

  To check again if the problem is caused by a Virus/Malware on the system, I suggest to refer to the link below and run the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner and check if the problem is caused by an Infection of Virus/Malware on the system

  Step 2:

  Also try to perform the material clean boot when you start return to normal mode. To perform the starting material in minimum mode follow the steps below:

  You can try to perform a clean boot material and check if the problem is caused due to all the equipment connected to the computer.

  To perform the material clean boot, follow the steps below:

  ·         Network card.

  ·         USB devices and controller

  ·         CD\DVD.

  ·         Modems.

  ·         Ports (series and parallel)

  After doing this, if you are able to Start in Normal Mode, try to activate the device one by one and find out which device is causing the problem. Try to install the latest driver for this device, or contact the vendor of hardware .

• Unable to connect to any URL with the "WindowsUpdate" string in it, on any server. Again maybe virus?

  OK, some background on me, just to avoid some types of questions: I'm not an expert in huge windows, but I use it as my office like a bit of a user with power for 10 years, and I've been a professional Unix administrator since almost 15 years; I'm paid to know my way around computers.

  Computer of my nephew, I work remotely via TeamViewer, knows a problem really incredibly strange.  No matter what the URL with "WindowsUpdate" or similar to get connection reset by peer, in IE and FireFox, and apparently in Windows Update too because he can't actually update anything.

  So fine, virus; Well, Yes, there has been a lot of virus, but they are all had: S & D of Spybot, AdAware and Avast all say that it is clean.  The last time I ran TrendMicro Housecall it crashed, but I saw him more than halfway done and he had not found anything like that or the other.

  It cannot be something simple as a parameter of weird registry or hosts file entry, because it is sensitive to the context and occurs with any server.

  Let me explain: when he started to arrive, I thought it was a Windows Update problem specifically. If it is not; This computer can't see http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsupdate&tid=fb0ddab0-e9a0-4edc-b3ea-144ff14190b3&cat=&lang=&cr=&sloc=&m=1&p=1, for example, in a browser, apparently because of this "windowsupdate" in there...  But I didn't know that I went and grabbed a update WindowsUpdate manually, and pasted on my server.

  It's when things are weird; It's my server, it has nothing to do with MS, and it serves many users every day very well.

  On my nephew's computer, I get connection reset by peer for this:

  http://teddyb.org/~rlpowell/public_media/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

  and this:

  http://teddyb.org/~rlpowell/public_media/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.zip

  but NOT the same exact zip file renamed, like this:

  http://teddyb.org/~rlpowell/public_media/harmless.zip

  I assure you, that these two last URL points to exactly the same data (the .exe in a zip file above).

  So the problem seems to actually be URL with the text "windowsupdate" in them, which seems like it should be a piece running of malware to apply, or something like that, but... really doesn't seem like it.

  Normally, I'd just like to fix it, but this case is so bizarre that I think that I really want to figure it out, too.  Maybe it's the sign of a new virus or something?
