• How to know which anti-virus software is installed on the computer

  want to find the State of the computer so I can see what antivirus software is on my computer

  Click on Start then run and in the Open: box type wscui.cpl and then OK or Enter. This will open Security Center. Click on the double arrows next or Off for the Virus Protection to display that this case, the antivirus program is installed.

  To determine if other security software can be installed, you can consider using AppRemover. It's main function is specifically for uninstalling security software, but you need only to scan to determine what programs exist.

• Unable to connect to servers to update for my games or anti-virus software

  I was somehow infected with vista antivirus 2010. I followed guides online on how to remove it. It is suggested to enter the registry and remove the stuff out there, but things that he said that I had to delete were not at all there.  I ran Malwarebytes and it seems to have stopped the annoying pop-ups and alerts of virus, but since then I cannot update my MMO games or my anti-virus software. I ended up uninstalling Malwarebytes and download ad-aware and I wasn't able to update ad-aware. I ran it and it eliminated several infections but I can't yet to update my MMO games. Did I miss something and can someone help me please understand this. Thank you

  Ok thank you. It makes a difference. Malwarebytes is an excellent scanner and real-time protection. However, none of the software you mention is an antivirus. I recommend Avast free.

  Hello

  It would be unwise to try to start without antivirus/antispyware are has just too many real threats and
  methods for malware to attack the system. If you attempt to do if of course you have redundant and
  current backups.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all 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 leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  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 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.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-download

  Avast 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#TAB4

  Or 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/   <-->

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also 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.

• What is the prevalence of viruses, malware, etc., to be hidden and undetectable by anti-virus software?

  • As before, when my computer when my computer has been infected, I get a svchost.exe error, repeatedly, whenever I restart the computer. The infection has been discovered that the last time by my anti-virus software, because it was hidden.  It was a computer expert on this forum who told me my computer was infected by svchost.exe repeated error messages that I received.  I ran my Avast software, anti-malware software from MSFT Security Center, Win Defender, etc. this time, and it has detected no infections.  (Yes, I know what to do to pass this message means not necessarily my computer is infected, but the tech guy said that it is likely, given that the error message appeared on several occasions).  How detect and destroy the virus/malware hidden, etc?
  • Also, if anyone can answer another question... I was told that it is not recommended that I have two programs of anti-virus software, which I do - Win Defender and Avast (I guess they may conflict).  I tend to want to keep Avast, but would like to know if I have to keep Win Defender instead, because it is a Win a Win system program.  If I've got this me getting rid of one of them, is it recommended that I both uninstall and then reinstall one of them?

  A person help would be appreciated!

  Thnx, Dharma

  WHAT I HAVE: Win XP Media Center, MS Office 7 Professional (used at home), IE8, Outlook 7, HP w / 32-bit dual core processor, latest version of Avast & Win Defender, Srvc Pack 2 and 3 (although I know that I don't need 3 because I have not upgraded to Win 7, but it won't let me uninstall it!) and regularly updates Win.

  PS Please ask questions if you have, before you answer, so it will be less likely that I'll get the wrong answers that don't relate directly my questions! (Can say you that has already happened?  (LOL).

  You pouvez have a type of rootkit of malware infection.  Rootkits can transform and change of identity on your OS (and are difficult to detect and remove) and many computing professionals recommend a reinstall of the operating system in order to ensure that the rootkit is removed.

  Follow the suggestions in the Brian - post.  The link that he provided is an excellent reference.   If you have a rootkit, TDSS Killer or one of the other programs listed pourrait be able to remove it.

  You can also:

  You can get free help in the removal of malware from MS Support here: http://supportservices.microsoft.com/support/services/virus_malware_removal

  If you are in North America, you can call the MS Support to 866-727-2338 for help with infections of virus and spyware.

  For international information see your subsidiary local technical support site.

  Or get assistance from Avast at: http://www.avast.com/support

  You have SP3 on your Win XP OS and if you plan to switch to Win 7 make sure that your processor and RAM will manage Win 7... with your history of technology issues a reformatting/clean install of Win 7 would be a good idea.  Because of the possibility of conflicts, I do not recommend using Windows Defender with Avast or any other resident AV program.  Suggest uninstall you Windows Defender in Control Panel.  MSE and several other AV programs require the removal of Windows Defender in XP (or disabling the Defender in Vista and Win 7).

  Kind regards...

• Cannot run an anti-virus software after an infection!

  System: Gateway MT6821 32 - bit os

  Saturday:

  • Downloaded a file from a friend who turned out to be infected unknowingly.
  • Contacted McAfee help once a Trojan horse has been "blocked and deleted. At this point when I open internet explorer, you could say that my computer is still infected with something. I would like to enter an address in the browser and would be redirected to another site (i.e. random search, youtube, offer to purchase through my ISP)
  • Ordered to contact Microsoft indicating that it was a problem with internet Explorer.
  • Through a problem with Microsoft where they found a file (cngaudit.dll) that was bigger they said it might be that showed them that my computer has been infected. Tech also found cngaudit .dll (69) where it is said that it was a copy of the original file which showed that my computer has been infected.
  • Set up a time for another Member of the support team to call me on Sunday to help in the kidnapping.

  Tuesday:

  • After no calls Sunday or Monday, I contacted Microsoft with my # of cases and a second rep attempted to help the elimination.
  • Remote access and technology attempted to run the Scanner again enabled (has been blocked)
  • Attempted to run HiJackThis... was able to download, but not executed.
  • Downloaded and run Norman Malware Cleaner.
  • NMC found 2 infected files... C:\Program Files\Magic Encyclopedia\dvmwlkt.exe (Infected with Malware.ELBD) and C:\Program Files\Magic Encyclopedia\magic.exe (Infected with Malware.EENX) both of these files have been deleted
  • NMC also found C:\Users\Page\AppData\Local\Temp\~DFEDF2.tmp, but access has been denied and it could not be deleted.
  • McAffee is always installed at this time and all the minutes I get a pop-up indicating that 2 (located in the temporary file) Trojan horses has been blocked.
  • Called Microsoft a 3rd time and met with an another tech once again connected via remote access and "worked its magic" like others and recommended I have remove McAfee and reinstall because the alerts I receive are "fake".
  • Remove and reinstall to see that McAfee will not be updated or protect. Now the tech suggested that I contact my ISP for assistance because McAfee has been downloaded from their site and seems to be defective.
  • Contacted my ISP and was told to contact McAfee.
  • Contacted McAfee and told to contact Microsoft.

  Wednesday (2 a. .m):

  • Always at work, trying to get something to work. Attempted to run the cleaning (ERROR: the instruction at 0x00cb34ef referenced memory at 0 x 00000000) The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program.) Attempted to run the disk check (went through the process and when the system has restarted, he received an ERROR saying that my computer would have to close and restart)
  • 04:00 found this forum! YES!
  • Removed all anti-virus software as suggested (old version of TrendMicro who was no longer in use, McAfee using the Development download, Hi taken this, Norman Malware Cleaner and disabled Windows Defender)
  • Attempted to launch the Scanner and even once, was not allowed.
  • Downoladed Malwarebytes'... put up-to-date, but as soon as the scan began to close.
  • Downloaded SpyBot and scan it again just to make it stop after the update.
  • A run ESET Online Scanner and found 2 objects (files win32)... cleaned and removed.

  Where am I today? I can't always run antivirus software and my computer is currently not protected... online security with networking Mode.

  Any suggestions?

  You cannot save your programs - a clean installation wipe everything from the hard drive.  Programs need to be reinstalled (they cannot be copied or saved) - and you probably wouldn't do anyway because there is a good chance that some of the infected files can reside in these same programs.  The ONLY way to avoid this is to get your hands on a real Windows Vista Installation disc, so we can attempt a repair system/upgrade where your programs will be preserved (and we don't know yet if that will completely solve the problem of infection but it probably will restore the functionality at least for a certain period of time).

  Sorry for the bad news, but that's just how it is.

  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

• Firefox 5.0 disabled an add-on, which is associated with my anti-virus software. Is this disabled module if I use another browser too or just in Firefox?

  I just installed Firefox 5.0. I have also just renewed by subscription to Webroot Internet Security Essentials, so I have the updates on that as well, and apparently something in the latest Webroot is not compatible with the latest Firefox. When I open Firefox, I get a message that a Webroot 1.7 'Add-on' and a few files associated with Webroot (I wrote not them down and the error message disappeared) have been disabled. What worries me, because I do not know what part of my antivirus program has been disabled by Firefox. My Webroot reports that it is functional and up to date.

  What he says is that Webroot has a special add-on for firefox which does not match the version of firefox you have. Webroot will still work, but it will not use this special accessory. You may or may not have a similar attachment that it is bundled with other browsers. I'm not sure. All-in-all, the module is not the main part of your anti-virus, it's just a piece of bonus, they give you.

  Firefox has not disabled your anti-virus software, and using another browser will be no more or less dangerous than before that.

  Think of it as a vacuum cleaner. He always goes to the vacuum cleaner and clean, but the small fancy brush to clean baseboards or something does not fit immediately.

  They have most likely only need to change the small part of it that shows what versions of firefox, it will work with, if the chances are that if you keep an eye on, there will probably be an update soon with a version of the add-on that is compatible.
