Windows Defender can submit files, but don't tell me why / if they are malicious.

Hello. In a first step, here are some details about the system I'm working with: it's running Windows 7 Professional, protected by NOD32 v4 antivirus with Windows Defender running in real time. Each week, I scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware. I use Opera 10.1 for webbrowsing and generally move away from javascript. I haven't downloaded or manually installed all the software in weeks. Only the automatic updates were executed for various programs. It's one of these programs I run steam.
A few days ago, when automatic steam updated, something very strange happened. While Steam was Patching itself, it generates a process called SteamServiceTmp.exe. I saw this happen in the past several times (I looked in Process Explorer), so I don't think much at all. Steam updates all the time. However, this time for some reason a Windows Action Center popup balloon popped up with a red X and said he wanted to send SteamServiceTmp.exe to Microsoft. The exact wording of the message balloon has been "review files that Windows Defender will send to Microsoft (Important). I was a bit panicked, because I didn't know what was going on. ŒIL blink saw nothing, and defender was as if SteamServiceTmp was a piece of malware. Unfortunately, Defender not really said anything explicit. I checked the logs for Defender and quarantine, but found nothing. Only, I could find evidence that something happened when I checked the system event viewer. The logs in Event Viewer are calling it a "AVsubmission."
In recent days this has happened twice. Once after an update to Adobe Flash player, I downloaded directly from their site, and once when you play a game to steam SteamOverlayUI.exe. As far as I know, each of these files came back clean. VirusTotal.com can't find something wrong with the files, NOD 32 is not catching whatever it is, and MalwareBytes Antimalware doesn't work, either. Here again, I've never seen Windows Defender act like that, or start sending files so ambitiously without offering an explanation why, so I am very worried that something malicious.  In addition, I'm hesitant to think that it was a false positive in all. If this was the case, then EVERYONE who runs the steam and Windows Defender (not bad people!) would have seen it! I seem to be the only one I can find.
Is there a way I can understand what happened here and a way to make sure my system is safe? I can't find reason to believe that these normally run malicious files, but I can't "sees no reason that Defender would be entering and submitting otherwise.

Suggestions:

To explain this, it is not an infection of file warning, it was a suspicious file warning.

MSE did something similar, except that it came with a popup "this file is suspicious please send to Microsoft for inspection" and you click on send, it was.

This means that the triggered some heuristic points, but not enough to classify it as a threat.

I believe that this has already been fixed, probably millions of users who would be subject to the same file.

Released December 14, 2009 virus definition classifies it as Trojan horse.

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=PWS%3aWin32%2fSteam.B&ThreatID=-2147370721

Still, Microsoft!

My mistake, the Trojan report is for Win32/Steam.B. But you can trust me on my rest of post.
Still, Microsoft!

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

     

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

     

    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.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    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:

    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.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

    Data recovery:

    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 1st 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.

    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

    For the last few days my Windows Mail keeps asking for my username and password and even if they are correct it still doesn't and comes repeatedly asks me for the info again and again. I deleted the account mail twice now and re added it but it still does not work. I can send emails but not receive.

    Please help I need to retrieve my emails! Thanks, Sarah

    McAfee is a huge problem with Windows Mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 if you want to use, wait until you get the job of Winmail.

    Check if you can connect webmail and that works very well and it's not a problem on the end of the server messaging or because of misspelled powers.  Then delete your account in WinMail, compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and make sure that you have disabled the e-mail analysis then add your account to mail back again and see if it works.

  • I have two computers in Windows 7 which will not each other on my network. All other computers will see and can share files, but they connect between them.

    My HP laptop has installed Win7 Ult, the Fujitus Win7 Pro.

    Both computers were sharing the files back, outside a residential group, for a period of time. One day, they are stopped. No changes have been made to computers. I tried a restore of the system on each of them, and it did not help. I re windows loaded on the HP and that did not help. I don't think that it is only a permission of the questions that I used a windows machine 7 third to map actions to each of the individual laptops using their respective IDs. I can transfer files from one of them the "machine in the middle", then the action of the other, or as a copy/paste between them directly.

    WSD and NetBT will not solve one machine for others, but all other computers on the network will dispay on each machine. Only, they refuse to see each other. I have disabled the firewall. Password protected sharing, ensured that all netbios in the registry settings are correct. Pings between them are inaccessible returnded.

  • Windows Update issues. Windows Defender can't check definition error code 0 x 80242017 - after Re Installing Windows Vista updates. ?

    After reinstalling Windows, everything works fine until it fails to install and download updates.
    After that it automatically installs updates, it shows updates that failed, I try again but then it does not download or install updates everything at all!

    -J' have a lot of updates going back to years ago, it lists the Versions updated even with another publication date, what I need to download and install all?
    I should manually, choose to install only the latest versions?

    -Windows Defender error 0 x 80242017:
    Windows Defender had always worked without any problems before re-installing.

    -J' already downloaded Microsoft Fix it: it scans and fixes a few problems, but there is always an impossible problem to fix 'recent installation updates problems'

    Also, checked if Software Licensing service work but couldn't find it under services - this could be a related issue? or is located somewhere else?

    I now use the computer and everything else seems normal.

    -little background information:
    Decided to do a re-complete installation of Windows Vista on an old computer which was the minimal use (we tried to update every month)
    Why I decided to reinstall:
    During a session to install the fix, it never moved beyond the "installation of update 1 of ' it lasted there for several hours, after losing patience I Gilles downwards and then the problems started a week later.

    I was unable to use it without problems, sometimes I would get blue screens, get stuck checking DMI disc read error, or it wouldn't start at all. Also seems to be some registry problems.

    In the end, I was able to start but I was able to browse the internet. When I opened all the files, the window came out white, but he said that the number of files it contains.  Could not even open the start menu and was unable to use the restore system and when I access it from F8 it says it is running in a limited Diagnostic State and all restore points have disappeared.

    Last good known Configuration or Check Disk doesn't help. I reinstalled after that.

    .. Although old, The Works pretty good Comp for the people here who are going to use it for their homework and light internet use as my niece when here after school.

    I'm not a Tech person that's why I posted for help here = \

    Thank you in advance, all advice appreciated!

    1. all both installed on 22/09/2014

    2. it is not available

    3. 2 or 3 hours maybe? I downloaded webroot only after that I thought I was able to install the updates that lasted a few hours.

    4 definition version: 1.185.885.0 created 22/09/2014

    What happens when you try to update Defender via the UPDATE on the update tab button (for example, another error of 0 x 80242017)?  [DOCUMENT TEST/NOW]

    When you run a manual check of updates, is an update of definitions of Defender offered as an optional update and if so, allows it to install?

    Note: A computer can become infected a few seconds of being connected to the internet without a valid antivirus application installed. It of a very good chance that you see the effects of an infection being a certain type and that demand for Webroot is not installed or working properly.
