• My computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants). How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

  As says the question: my computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants).  How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

  I'm running a full system scan in ESM right now, and it has detected multiple instances of sirefef.   I have remove as they pop up, but I'm afraid that when I run another scan they all will always be there.  Is there a way to know if MSE is actually remove them and he cleaning?  If not, should I do a back up and reinstall the OS?

  Thank you.  I can choose to try this, however, I would like an answer to my other questions first.

  Sirefef is a rootkit and yes he can hide in your system.  This is why it has been suggested that you may need to reformat/reinstall.  In fact, it's the only way to eliminate malware.  Multiple scans with several scanners and no conclusion malware probably indicate he disappeared, but the key word is "probably".  Malwarebytes is good and what he finds now may be traces of the infection, but what he finds perhaps not active more - it is always good to run the scans so.

  What spare drive did you run?  What scanners did you use?  See again you and follow the guide "Malwaretips"?

  For the firewall problem, you can try the following Microsoft Fixit.

  Diagnose and automatically fix problems of Windows Firewall service

  One of the users of the Forum answers maintains that a great guide on information security is important for understanding the removal of malicious software.  See the following compliments of Brian M - for suggestions on how to solve your problem: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide/#after see: after the removal process and solve the problems of Post disinfection

  Uninstall/reinstall of MSE is how?  All the problems?  Have you tested MSE with eicar to be sure it's working?

  Assume that you have not had an opportunity to review the MSE Installation Checklist or you would have noted that MSE and Windows Defender cannot be used on the same computer.  So if WD works in fact it means MSE has been disabled/not not work correctly or not installed.

  See the next WD re: Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials

  Good luck...

• Driver webcam has been removed from the Dell computer and now am unable to fix it.

  Original title: Webcam Dell problem

  Hello

  I have laptop Dell Inspiron N411Z. Dell did not provide users with any webcam device drivers and windows update does not install the drivers by itself. In addition, it happened that windows update installed the driver webcam last time and webcam works for two days after that I don't know how but the driver has been removed, or I don't know exactly what happened.

  If call us Dell they ask us to install Dell central webcam which has nothing to do with driver (I don't know what kind of support they have).  If there is no driver Dell webcam central does nothing.

  I don't know exactly how it goes, but if windows update installs the driver which means driver exists. If anyone would be able to send me or give me a link to the Dell webcam driver?

  I hope that Microsoft would be able to help me with this. I tried what you might think. I installed windows several times. There is no imaging device in Device Manager in case someone wants me re-install the drivers that I said before windows ever installed the drivers. I just need an .exe file that runs my webcam.

  Dell Inspiron N411Z

  Webcam part number: T3NPC

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Jeet,

  This problem is usually caused due to hardware or driver related issues. As you mentioned, I was not able to find all the drivers for the webcam. But I've seen threads in which he asks customers to install the Webcam Central software. I suggest the following methods and check if it works for you.

  Method 1:

  Try the procedure described in the following Microsoft Help article and check if that helps. This article consists of the steps to use a webcam.

  See the following Microsoft Help article to learn more about the use of a webcam.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/using-webcam

  Method 2:

  As tech Dell mention of the support team, try to reinstall the Webcam central software and check if the problem persists.

  Step 1: To uninstall the Dell webcam central software, perform the following steps:

  a. Click Start.

  b. click Control Panel.

  c. using the drop down next to the opinion of: in the upper right, select large icons.

  d. click on programs and features.

  e. click Dell Webcam Central.

  f. click on uninstall.

  g. confirm uninstallation by clicking OK.

  h. Once uninstalled, restart the computer.

  Step 2: Check out the link next to the Dell forum to reinstall the webcam drivers.

  ftp.us.dell.com/.../Dell_SX2210-Monitor_Webcam%20SW%20RC1.1_%20R230103.exe

  Method 3:

  Try to update the drivers BIOS of the computer manufacturer's website and check if the webcam works.

  See the following article from Microsoft Help to update a driver.
