XP registry is completely ruined after two major virus attacks.

So, I had two major virus attacks: Windows XP Antivirus 2012 and OpenCloud Security open. The two destroyed the registry of my laptop.

Examples:
Whenever I try to open Internet, it pops up a window asking you "what you would like to open"firefox.exe"with? It's the same with everything: paint, Sony Vegas, Skype...
I can't open the control panel.
I can't install or uninstall anything. When I install something, it does not correctly.
I really need help with this problem! I've been putting upward with it for too long.

Hello

1. you receive an error message when you try to open Control Panel?

2. don't you get an error message when you install/uninstall a program?

I also suggest you to perform a complete analysis of the system using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if the computer is still infected with the virus.

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Some keys on the keyboard does work not after the suspect virus on Tecra

    Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and the end of the keys no longer work after a suspected virus attack. I found the same problem on the net record but apparently this guy fixes his problem after stop scroll or NumLock on found him.

    This isn't the case here, but it's something with numlock - registry Watch 2 and not 0. switch to 0 but when reboot 2 times.
    Suspect has changed through the bios. I thought that I couldn't get to the bios because DEL key does not but found ESC works.
    Tried to reset the values default to the bios but then can't save and exit it in accordance with the EndKey to work.

    I was running XP at the time of the (alleged) attack and could not correct the problem so to put the computer OEM as I hoped would help - there no, same problem, so instead of installing all the software on the computer with XP I upgraded to Windows7 - charge install.

    Keys still don't work - it was a real pain first as my computer was created for ctl + alt + delete to log on and I had to do with the keyboard of the screen - XP - it showed also that numlock performed before and after windows starts.

    The reason why I suspect a virus - my wife was watching an of its tv shows on the line of the country of origin (an another toshiba laptop) and I needed to use this laptop for something else, so I asked to use mine - then we turned off laptops and the morning turned tham back on again once , the other laptop with virus protection AVG reported several hits and this one with Norton (FAMOUS and completely up-to-date) flagged nothing - once I got the screen keyboard.

    Problems with this computer were found after scanning with different antivirus.
    Anyway - I find myself with 4 keys that don't work not on my keyboard (in fact they work after I have connected to the computer for the first time, but I had to hold them in place for a long time - and then the next time I rebooted, not at all and did not since)

    Here, any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm working on this all weekend with no joy at all.

    Thanks in advance.

    Having a virus attack, the Windows files will be destroyed. Try the scan with kaspersky on Nod 32. If not help, reinstall os because it is the best solution in your case.

  • find the distance between two major axis chart point cloud

    Hello

    I have a scatter chart. Its the y-axis AutoScale property is set to false. The major and minor axes are by default. Interval is set by default.

    When draw the graph divisions displayed on the axis are defined according to the range provided. Sometimes, the interval between the major divisions, that is exactly what is defined in the Interval property and sometimes this isn't the same thing. As mentioned in the help the AutoScale property is set to true, sometimes by himself in order to avoid the congested labels.

    What I find is the distance beween two major axes of the value axis, as the interval is not the same as set in the property.

    Kindly let me know how to calculate the interval.

    Kind regards

    Nihad.

    yAxis1.AutoSpacingMajorInterval

    Replace yAxis1 by what is called your axis y on the scatter graph. If you don't know what it is, right click on the axis are the scatter graph, and then select Edit YAxes. Then a box will appear and you can see how it's called in the members section.

    In the settings of your third-party software that you see a setting that says keep copy file on the drive even after deleting? If so, you have a copy of the file on the raw disk. See this

    It worked doesn't mean anything. 'Inconsistent' means that it was not tested, nor is it updated to work with this version, as it is updated, which can result in what you feel. You can try to run the application in Compatibility Mode, but the chances of work without problems are slim. The real solution is to upgrade to a compatible version.

  • After that my virus clean my printer does not work I have windows xp and my printer Deskjet F 300 said

    After that a virus clean my printer HP Deskjet F 300 quit working they installed Windows XP from Windows 2000 and I can't make it work help

    "they have installed?  You had somebody "clean" your computer and they have also installed Windows XP (you used to have Windows 2000)?

    The first thing you need to do is to determine if 'they' a legitimate version of Windows XP installed.  Download and run the MGADiag tool.  If the tool does not report that Windows is "genuine", take back it the computer and demand that 'they' install an authentic version, paid Windows XP.  While they are at it, tell them to install a driver for your HP Deskjet F300.

    If you do not have a genuine version of Windows XP, then go to this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=1128298
    You have several choices to this page.

    • The top line, which only says: 'Pilot' is the complete set of software including software HP's Photosmart printer drivers and the scanner of your Deskjet.  As the HP notes, this is a very large download, so if you want this package, you must have a high-speed Internet connection or order the CD.
    • The second line, which says "Driver - Product Installation software" includes the basic print and scan drivers.  HP has said, "not all product features are supported with this installation package."  I don't know what "features" are not supported if you choose this option.
    • It should not necessary the "Patch" because or the other of the first two downloads is dated after the patch and so should be included.  After things are installed, you can download and install the most recent of the 3 "Updates".

    When you wrote that the printer "will not work" after a new installation of Windows XP, I assume that the printer is not installed at all.  Just in case, however, previously, you use the package that you download from HP, follow the instructions here to clean all traces of a failed attempt to install it.  (Note: remember "Step 4".)  "Step 6" refers to the directions outlined in the upper part of this post.)

  • After removing a virus from my computer, I can't access any of my programs like Windows Media Player. Pop - up says choose program to open the file type.

    After removing a virus from my computer last year, I struggle to access most programs such as media player and other things.  When I try to open something, I get a popup asking me to choose the program I want to use to open this file. For some programs, this file is actually listed.  But for the most part, they did not.  For example, Nero express is what I use to copy CDs or DVDs.  I have to go into a safe mode to use it as well as using programs to run virus checks.  I was told that the virus had somehow corrupted or affected my file extensions.  I almost had cheated using powerful PC Max but did some research beforehand.  Any suggestions?

    original title: File Extension problems

    If you need to go to Safe Mode in order to use certain applications (for example, Nero Express), particularly antivirus scans, you most likely have not successfully removed all malware from your computer.

    How did you remove the virus from your computer last year?

    You then install an antivirus application?  Which one?  Are you still using it?  What's his current subscription? Its subscription has already been authorized expiration?

    What version of Windows, including service pack, do you use?

    What other anti-malware software do you currently use?

    Have you analysed recently with the following free tools?  Otherwise, download, install, update and run scans (not simultaneously) with each of them:
    MalwareBytes AntiMalware
    SUPERAntiSpyware
    Like many also restore file associations.

    • Right-click on a file and select open with > choose program.
    • Look in the lists of programs (split in 'Recommend programs' and 'Other programs')
    • If you can't find the application you want to use to open this type of file, click on the button "Browse".
    • The "Program Files" folder should open (if it isn't, go to C:\Program Files
    • Find the program you want to use.  If you are looking in C:\Program Files\------, you determine which file is the actual program.  You should be able to tell from the icon.  If not, see note below)
    • Select the program (the exe file or the name of the program in one of these lists) and check the box "always use the program selected to open this type of file"
    • Click OK
    • Repeat the above for each type of different file according to the needs

    Note: If you need to determine the EXE file for an application, just right-click on the shortcut you use to start the program, and then select Properties.  Click on the tab "shortcut".  The 'Target' box contains the path name to go to the executable (EXE file) for the program.   For example, the executable file for Firefox is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

    There are a few exceptions, including but not limited to Microsoft applications, which use a more obscure reference to the target.  Word, for example, indicates the 'target' as a 'Microsoft Office' gray of no matter the version.  The real exe for Word is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICEnn\WinWord.exe' where the nn refers to the version of Word that you have (Word XP/2002 is 10, Word 2003 is 11, Word 2007 is 12, Word 2010 is 14).

    If you need assistance with a shortcut that does not directly show the name of path, ask.

    Hi Matt,
    Some infections of virus/malware will hide all files and shortcuts on your computer. To make your files visible again, download display on your desktop.
     
    Once downloaded, double-click display and let it run. It removes the attribute hidden on all files and attempt to restore items in quick launch and Start Menu to their location.
    If you think that your computer is still infected, try following the steps in this virus/malware removal guide: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide
    It contains instructions which will remove most malware infections. If you have any questions, just ask me. I hope this helps you.
