• AVG detects viruses, C:\sccfg.sys if I scan and delete, it will appear after each reboot.

  Original title: C:\sccfg.sys

  AVG detects C:\sccfg.sys
  What is a rootkit?
  How can I get rid of it permanently?
  I ask AVG Anti-virus (free) to cope - AVV, then asks me to restart the computer
  After the re - start AVG advises me that the threat has been eliminated.
  AVG analysis finds no problem for the next (approx.) 2-3 weeks
  Then, the threat is detected again.
  I have lived this cycle several times now.
  BUT I want to get rid of the threat for good.

  Internet search suggests this threat comes from a program called "Folder Lock", (which I had installed for several years) but AVG has only been reported as a threat for maybe three months.
  Research on the Internet tells me that the problem cannot be solved by uninstalling "Folder Lock"

  How can I get rid of this threat?

  Hi Leeds,

  It seems that AVG detects C:\sccfg.sys as virus, if you scan and delete, it will appear after each reboot.

  Let's run the virus scan in safe mode with networking:

  Check out this link to start your computer in safe mode with networking:

  A description of the options to boot in Safe Mode Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222

  After starting in safe mode with network, virus using AVG anti-virus scanner.

  With AVG Anti-virus, perform a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

  Refer to this link:

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  I hope this helps!

• Windows install will start automatically on reboot

  Windows install lights automatically restarts and then goes manic.  I have to stop it by (several tries) Task Manager. I tried to register again without success.  My computer works fine between these episodes above.  I would like to uninstall (or rename) msi and then reinstall 4.5.  I am running Vista 64 bit on a DELL Inspiron desktop computer, quad core, 6 GB of RAM.  Running Vista Home premium with Service Pack 2.   This happened after I installed Windows uninstaller to remove the remains of a software that failed to install properly.  Then I got the msg that the program might not have installed correctly. (windows uninstaller program.)  I went to the control panel to repair the uninstall program (do not know if it worked or not).  Dell will not help because it's a Microsoft issue.  Microsoft won't help unless you pay them.  Same old story...

• Pop - up - causing to reboot every 5 minutes

• Satellite C655 - text insert point is erratic, wandering and deletes

  I'm having an erratic text insertion point.
  When you use MS Word, WordPress or other trying to hit, the text insertion point jumps around while typing.
  The result is;

  (1) what I'm typing is inserted in the text that is already written,
  (2) text is placed elsewhere in the page, or
  (3) written text is deleted - this may be a word or a whole paragraph.
  Type it is like playing a game - type you and watch where the words are placed or erasure and always complete a sentence.

  I use a Satellite C655 which I bought through BJ, Word 7, Internet Explorer and Word Starter 2010.
  I don't like this version of Word, but my drive for Word 2003 does not install because of a "missing file" - go figure.
  It installed on my new Windows 7 desktop computer.

• Black screen with mouse pointer count on reboot after installing SP3

  I tried to install Service Pack 3 on a PC running XP Home Edition (new installation).

  Although Microsoft Update has finished installing SP3 and the computer reboots, I get the XP installation screen base with the message "Please wait...". ", which disappears after a few seconds, leaving me with a black screen with only the mouse pointer.

  The mouse pointer moves then the PC broke down, well that no matter how long I leave nothing happens.

  I tried to uninstall SP3 and do it again (when I Uninstall SP3, Windows starts very well) and also uninstall SP3 as well as my Antivirus and try the installation again. But whenever I'm just left whit black screen.

  Try to update with the custom option.  I had problems like this before.  Usually you are missing a driver or something of this kind that makes you hang.  To update while the custom option, with the exception of SP3.  Reboot several times the installation of updates with the "Custom" option  Once all updates have been installed except SP3, you can try SP3 and see what happens.  This usually takes care of it when I have the same problem.

• Order of shortcuts/icons of toolbar will not remain after reboot/logoff

  Here's my situation.  I created a toolbar on the taskbar of a folder on a network drive.  The fine created toolbar and icons of shortcuts/work.  I propose the shortcuts/icons in the order I want and lock the taskbar.  The order will stay like that until I logoff or restart. As soon as I did this all the shortcuts/icons resorted themselves by name in alphabetical order with folders first.  How can I stop station on reboot/logoff, I want to keep the shortcuts/icons in order that I put them in?  Thank you. Michael

  I don't think it's possible because it deals with the taskbar as a folder and those defined to sort according to certain criteria (in alphabetical order by default).  Yes, I know it can be done in the Quick Launch toolbar and it retains the new boot boot settings - but I don't know if this is possible with the creation bar toolbars task (I don't think).

  Maybe somebody else knows how (maybe with a registry change) but I don't thnk - but it is certainly possible. even if unlikely.

  Sorry, I am unable to help you, but I think you're asking something that isn't psssible in Vista (even if it takes).
