  ·         What program Antivirus do you use?

  This problem may also come from Virus/Malware infection on the system.

  I suggest you to run the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if that helps resolve the issue.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  Note:

  The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

• Laptop crashes when you run anti-virus Scan

  Recently changed my anti-virus. I uninstalled the old and outdated antivirus such as suggested by the guests during the installation of the new anti-virus.

  my laptop hangs to this file. c:\windows\system32\drivers\cdfs.sys

  I already reported it to the editor of my new anti-virus. Their response was for me to check my video card (I am not a technophile, I don't know how to do this) make sure that I got the last video driver.

  What is the problem with my laptop? What should I do?

  Thank you

  Hello

  CDFS.sys is the CD driver so tell them allows you to check the video driver are a mistake. This could be a
  false positive, which means that it is incorrectly detected as malware.

  Did you run the the site of the manufacturer of your old antivirus removal tool to make sure, that it leaves no leftovers?

• Scan window keeps going down when I run a full scan of McAfee, I also ran in windows (scaner onecaresafety) and he also went down. Think corruption is windows.hpoa1ss.inf_520d224fhpotsll.dllfile. Can you fix

  I have already contacted HP and McAfee.  I uninstalled mouse and reinstalled as I had once note improvement of synaptic touch pad has stopped working.

  It seems that your system "could" be affected by some type of "spyware" or viruses.  Because whenever you try to make a possible scan virus or spyware infection, it is possible 'infections"that will stop the opf 'style' scans.  If you are not comfortable with entering the 'nuts and bolts' of juggling advanced tools or move your hard drive to another computer to scans, consider to "shop" for a virus / spware removal service locally.

  If you scan, try the free version of Malwarebyte Anti-Malware or SuperAntiSpware.  These software will be possible detect more than other tools.  You may need to run these as a clean boot, or are Safe Mode.

• When you perform a full backup in Windows 7, is also trying to save the destination drive

  Hello when I do a backup on my computer he wants to save the destination for my backup disk. I use the Windows 7 professional 64-bit operating system. I know that he cannot back up the drive on which the backup happens. How can I prevent that from happening.

  Hi FrancisEarley

  Yes, the backup can not be performed if the destination drive is selected in the backup list, if it is selected, then be sure to uncheck this drive and then proceed to the backup or if you want to include this backup disk, and then you must select a different destination location.

  For example, you can't back up the contents of drive E: to drive E:

  You can follow the steps of manual backup and verification-

  (a) open Backup and Restore.
  (b), select 'Configuration Backup' or 'back up now '.
  (c) and then in the list to save drivers deselect the destination drive, if it is present in the backup list and move forward with new steps to perform the backup.

  Refer to the below help links -.

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery, if/before you reinstall:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.
