Webroot security found a file that is a threat to my system. Serial.sys Can I delete this file and download a new serial.sys or is this a file I do not have?
My malwarebites program keeps blocking a signal out to various websites... When I installed and ran the program of webroot it detected the file serial.sys as a threat similar to my system. I'm assuming that this file is probably infected. I guess my first question is whether or not, it is a necessary file?
If it is can I delete and download a new serial.sys?
Thank you very much
Hi John Sw140,.
Microsoft Windows serial should be located in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers . This file serial.sys is safe and should not be considered a threat to the computer. The serial.sys process is part of Microsoft Windows and should not be removed or prevented from loading at each loading Windows. This could cause errors or Windows to stop working.

I had to format my pc yesterday and I can't access my photos on my hardrive 2ndry can anyone help this is the message I get when I try to view them
Photo Gallery can't open this picture because you do not have permission to the location of the file asscess RJI recently started having the SAME problem. Windows Photo Viewer working wonder in the past months on the same exact images without any problems.
I suspect that Microsoft update the code somewhere which pushed as an update - what is now the cause of the problem.
As a diagnosis, I tried with the right button "open with...". "and chose the paint. The same file opened without any problem.
All the pictures are generated for all images without problem.
Still, Windows Photo Viewer cannot display ALL my image files. Paint has no problem.
Similarly, right click 'open with... '. "and choose Microsoft Office 2010. Loading the image without any problems.
If the original poster has the same success using other programs - then the problem is with the Windows Photo Viewer - Microsoft of not having it recognize permissions for the code or something.
It's on Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit. Latest updates applied Microsoft.

Borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD(not Dell, HP, etc Recovery DVDs) to do a repair installation
If you see a startup Neosmart repair disk download here, this is NOT what you want.
You want a good Vista DVD that contains the operating system files.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you need a recovery media for your laptop back to factory settings, read this info:
How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

I can record is more than all of the new bookmarks after update to Firefox 40.0.2.
I have over 1000 bookmarks and also use xMarks.
I tried to remove 5 bookmarks and save a new bookmark, but it does not work.
When I click on the bookmark star, stars in the bookmarks folder jumps, but does not record, it does not offer the possibility of filing in the subfolder right it me and the star is not awarded (there should be one filled with stars when the Web site is updated bookmark)Thank you for your help. I tried the maintenance of places without success. I have disabled xMarks, but it made no difference, I couldn't save all new bookmarks. I went on the site help above and deleted the "places.sqlite" file and recreates a new file, but it didn't work. I uninstalled Firefox full using IOBit Uninstaller and reinstalled, but I found this program does not delete the profile folder (used to have a checked during uninstall of Firefox, but it seems to have disappeared in the latest versions). The problem persisted.
Finally, I took a screenshot of all my addons. Then, I uninstalled Firefox again, then delete the entire folder profiles (located very usefully described in the second link above https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file )
I reinstalled Firefox, reinstalled xMarks and connected and transferred all my favorites, I reinstalled all my previous addons and ALTO - it now everything works perfectly!Thank you for your help

It is not really that much on the computer so I'm a little shocked by the message.
I checked the storage and other storage containers is 176,77 GB.
I also downloaded and ran clean my mac 3, no change.
Research in the hard disk directory, I came across 3 library folders.
Macintosh HD, system, library
Macintosh HD, library
Macintosh HD, users, name, library
Is it possible to remove the Macintosh HD, the system, the library or the Macintosh HD, library to get more space

I scanned a few photos, but its entry in the adobe format, I wan't it in windows photo gallery, which will make
I right click on the image, click on the Prog by default to choose, select windows photo gallery, but it did not open, he writes
"Photo Gallery can't open this photo, the format is not supported.
Your better off using paint to scan directly to, because for one, it has a way to change the types of files and two he has a check-in feature, more than anything the photo library has.
All you have to do is open paint, click the blue button and click option of scanner or camera, follow the prompts.

My junk mail is to get term with mail that is sent using my email addresses. How can I stop this?
I can't block emails from myself, I sometimes need to send things, so I got them at a later date.
I know that I can view the source of the message, but I just want to stop this garbage that runs through for me.
Can anyone help?
There is not really a way to do it. Just like you cannot block spam from your mailbox home - anyone can send you mail and anyone can use a false address 'return' that makes it look like it came from you.
In fact, it is incredibly easy (only 10 letters typed) to send an e-mail that looks like it comes President @ whitehouse.gov. That's how spammers do, because there is no check on email (I wish the people who invented the email 40 years ago had thought of that), but it is not just.
