Windows Internet Watchdog on Vista
Windows Internet Watchdog has found its way past my Norton on my Insperion, Vista and he doesn't allow me something but continually see his pop ups.
I can't see it in my list of programs, nor process, even when I start mode without failure.
How can I get this malware on my computer?
I see a lot of ads for downloads to do, but don't know who to trust. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I have provided a link (in my post) to an article by Leo ask that solves this problem.
No matter if it is a program free anti-malware software or you are using a paid - subscription none of them provide 100% coverage.
Since you are using Norton, you might want to contact Norton Support or the Norton Forum.
Malwarebytes and/or Hitman Pro expected to remove this malware for you - Norton Power Eraser could also do. If you update your Norton program installed for the latest definitions and then run an analysis that could take care of him. I do not use Norton so I don't know a lot about their products.
Good luck...

Hello
Sorry we don't communicate via this forum.
You need a real antivirus because these are the two antispyware. You have the PCtools antivirus
on the computer or just their toolbar in Internet Explorer?-------------------------------------------------
If there is no antivirus on the computer here is what I use and recommend (except for one
program like Prevx, you don't want more than one antivirus on the computer program
much less running because they interfere with each other and lower security). Each combination
of her below you will warn of malware without toolbar from PCtools running online.Here's what I use and recommend: (these are alll free and very effective versions.)
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-downloadAvast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/ <-->-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.aspAlso get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.I hope this helps.

Windows Internet Explorer (e-mail)
Whenever I want to hyperlink to an e-mail address of a Web site I get the following dialog box:
Windows Internet Explorer
Cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed.It started only recently and from any Web site. How can I fix it?
Your post has nothing to do with Windows Update.
Unlike Windows XP and Vista, Win7 does not have a default email Client. [What were thinking?]
You will need to install a (e.g. MS Outlook;) Windows Live Mail; Oiseau-tonnerre) , and then set it as a default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) Set Program Access and defaults of the computer before any function article send to or MailTo will become available.
You will find support for Win7 e-mail Clients in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads

Windows Internet Explorer opens automatically at startup of the Facebook page
I use Windows Vista Home Premium software on a Gateway computer. For some reason any start-up, my Windows Internet Explorer is automatically upwards, and there a Web Facebook.com page already on the screen asking you to sign up for Facebook. It flashes at the bottom of my screen until I click on it. I don't want no internet will automatically launch and I want either of Facebook. How can I keep internet start automatically without my even clicking on it? Thanks for the help.
Dear Rachel,
Please, try the following steps.
(1) check that the homepage of your Internet Explorer is not "facebook.com" - could be found under Tools-> Internet Options-> general, in the section "Home Page." If you do not have "facebook.com" written there, replace it with another site that you want to load when you start your browser or with "subject: empty ' If you just want a blank window is displayed when you run your browser.
(2) on your Start menu, choose programs-> startup programs list. If "Internet Explorer" is in the list, just simply delete.
((3) if (2)) does not help, try running 'msconfig' (choose Run from the Start Menu and just type "msconfig" in the window that appears), go to "Startup" and uncheck a box near point "Windows Internet Explorer".
I hope this helps!
