  • Infected with HIV 4 and 2 worms and still nothing happens.

    Hey, I have an Acer Aspire 4720z with windows 7 computer. I installed AVG 9 and Zonealarm Firewall. I have disabled the windows firewall, but kept windows Defender. Recently, 4 virus/worm infected my computer via a mobile device, I can't remember which. So I went to Microsoft and downloaded Security the OneCare safety scanner. He scanned my computer and detected 4 worms and six trojans. Infact, I use the computer normally every day and nothing has changed it's strange. OneCare is unable to remove them so I tried the Windows malicious software removal tool. The tool has not yet detected the virus and worms. I was amazed. AVG detected two of them. I removed them from the vault.

    I don't understand this. My computer is infected with malicious software 6 and this software did not something crazy and all of these tools were not ab; e to detect all of these infections?

  • Alert to the virus by practicing a game

    By practicing a game I d/l from a site that I was a member for a long time, with no problems. The game has stopped working and I got an error msg that this problem was caused by a W/32/gaobot.worm.gen.u-Win 32/RBot.3eu/Worm, a known computer virus. He's going to suggest, I get a updated antivirus software, but I do not have a current software running.  I'm afraid that the website that I have never had a problem for so long is not as safe as I thought.  or that my antivirus/antispyware is not very good.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thank you.

    A virus is a program.  If you download and run a program, it can do what it is supposed to do.  Antivirus software looks at programs you download and check if they are in their catalog of known viruses.  If it does not what in the catalogue, it assumes that it is good and allows you to run.  Given that catalogs are updated all the time, that they can longer late with an update that discovers (once you have been infected) that the program you have running contains a virus.  Then warns you that you are now infected.

    These days, the infection tends to come because people have exceeded the older software such as Adobe Reader, Java and Flash versions.  Because people are rarely (if ever) looking for updates of these programmes, they are often easily infected with new viruses.  Virus writers are constantly changing and updating their virus so that the anti-virus software is unable to detect them.

    You should contact the company that makes your antivirus software and investigate the best way to clean your machine out of the virus you have with them.  And make sure all your system patches are up-to-date and your various software is up-to-date.  I would check out Adobe, Java, and Flash as they all have a lot of known holes in them that current virus writers take advantage of the.  But, at the same time, if you download games on Internet, it is very possible that files can be infected as well.  Therefore, always get a trusted site or source files.

  • No Audio - after a clean reinstall of Windows XP Edition family

    Hello

    Just unzip the files, you should be able to right click on the file and select "extract here". Once the files are extracted, just locate the .exe file and double-click it to launch the installation program, from there just follow the guests to install the driver. You may need to restart the computer for the changes to be detected. :-)

  • How to create a new service in vista / Win 7

    I would like to create a new "Windows update" service ini Vista or Windows 7. All ideas are welcome at the earliest?

    Access a prompt, do a right click and select "run as Administrator".
    Then type: Net stop wuauserv

    Should get a message from Windows Update service stops.

    If successful, then type Net Start wuauserv

    Should get a message that starts the Windows Update Service.

    This would help to determine if the service is still on your computer.

    A SFC/scannow check any file system that may be damaged or missing. If missing or corrupted, the SFC scan overwrites the file.

    Hello

    I just got a microSDHC 8 GB... it only showed 3.46 in my computer... I did some research and discovered that the OS worm I had (4.2) does support up to 4 GB. So I've updated to 4.5... However, I see even as 3.46 GB in my computer.
    Any ideas?

    I did everything I could do to speed up nothing doesn't.

    My processor is going?

    Agree with "Al Jarvi" very probably malware, then do these analyses.

    However, it is possible that other things brewing as:

    1 - is your complete hard drive or you have enough free space on the disk?

    2. run the normal checks as check disc error

    3. run a disk defragmentation

    4 run a SFC/scannow check to ensure that the key operating system files are not damaged.

    5. try to create a new user account and try for a while. This account is too slow? It maybe your user account itself is damaged in any way. If the new account works well, then copy your data everywhere and start to use this account.

    But maybe none of the above and it is perhaps your just OS must be reinstalled. In this case, backup your data and reinstall windows, and then restore your data. If you take this option, it may be best to try a repair installation first as it can help and maintain your facility/data "as what" (perhaps advised to save first well)

    Bruce, good to see you posting here.  I thought we had lost you on the Illustrator forum!

    I'm doing exactly what Bruce said, and copy the contents of

    C:\Users\User name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe 2014\Presets\Brushes CC in Photoshop

    In another folder.  He doesn't come to much in material megabytes and also acts as a return to the top.   These display in alphabetical order when you open the Panel brush options, so I rename my brush sets so they appear grouped by category, but still leaving enough of the file name to identify the source.

Maybe you are looking for
