Since you are electing the Premium Edition, can you add more RAM? That OS can pull hard on the RAM listed, by the time you add more programs or play any big games it's going to get sluggish.

Hope That Helps!

Are all these virus or worms or spyware?

Can I asked the Anti Virus soft ware to erase these

without affecting my computer functions.

The reason I am asking these is that in the past I had

the experience asking the AntiVirus software to erase

and then to fnd out that I either cannot enter firefox or cannot my email or cannot hear my regular played

music.

Pls help which I can erase and which I cannot .

tks.

Do not delete any Adware files , Win (widows files), do not delete spyware or cd load eveything else can go. the others will effect you entiring your e-mail and for music start downloading through Limewire if you dont want any problems and it's free.

Do not delete any file instead uninstall your antivirus and operate windows it will be better for you according to my Knowledge OF Computer.

You will got a problem but not so early if antivirus delete these files you suddenly can crupt windows so uninstall any antivirus which you are using and run windows manually you will got problem after a lot time then you must reinstall window with McFee Antivirus it's very nice Antivirus.

Remember when you install windows then surely you must also install an Antivirus Then It Will Be Good for you

Thanks For Question

Help my pc pls ?

When I turn on my pc , I saw these things : This copy of windows didnt pass genuine windows validation and you havent yet resolved the problem . this copy of windows is no longer eligible to receive the full range of upgrades and product support available from microsoft . to protect ur copy of windows click resolve now-resolve later

After then , I clicked on resolve now , nothing happened , the screen was still blue all the time , i kept waiting and waiting then I reseted my pc and made another choice later . everything would be ok , I could use my pc as usual . i dont know if I will get it next time then what should i do ? is it dangerous ? my pc has no antivirus software so im scared to connect internet , once time i tried with karpersky 6.0 but the ram is 64 mb and didnt seem fit for this as it required 128mb .

Add to this , in the right hand of screen i saw these thing :

You may be a victim of software counterfeiting . this copy of windows didnt pass genuine windows validation

Help my pc pls ?nortin

you may want to get the orginal windows and install that. That could clear up the problem. But before you do that, install an anti-virus program, then scan your computer for any virues or malaware. it could be a virus since it only comes up once in a while. After scans, if it isn't a virus, then it is potentially dangerous. Immediately get the original windows software and upload it.

Help my pc pls ?pc security

you've been running your pc with NO antivirus protection?

chances are you have a major virus

and if you haven't made a backup copy of your computer (which you should do every few months depending on how much stuff you download to your pc)

and you should NEVER NEVER NEVER run your pc without any antivirus protection

and if your pc is a much older unit.. you may want to get a newer model as they have much more RAM and hard drive on them at a cheaper price than what pc's cost 10 yrs ago....

Computer reinstalled windows xp on its own...? I lost everything!?

Went to turn my computer off and it went to some start up screen that said "Installing software" so I thought it was a windows update or something so I just let it go but omg... My computer reinstalled windows on its own! Everything is gone, pictures, applications, games, music... EVERYTHING! I will add that the night before this happened I ran all my antivirus software, I defragmented it, and ran disk cleanup and no problems were found. I dont care about ANYTHING except my sons pictures (which total somewhere between 500 and 1.5k) I was going to save them all onto a disks at about 5 and it did this at 3. I dont care what it takes but I want my pictures back, and I dont care about anything else. Please tell me how to get them all back. I cant use go back or windows recovery... I already tried. Please help.

Hello!

Go to Major Geeks.com. Download a trial of TuneUp Utilities 2007 (which keeps working after the trial, but is well worth buying--best utility kit ever!)

Use the deleted file recovery program, and bring up all files from the disk. Pick out the ones you wish to retrieve, and do this right away, before your disk is overwritten. Also, check the disk usage program. Some of your files will still be there, and this will show you every file stored on your disk.

Currently having trojan virus and adware in my computer.?

everytime i download antivirus software, the software itself or some of it becomes trojan viruses as well. what is going on? how do i resolve this problem?

Currently having trojan virus and adware in my computer.?norton 2008

My advice: try to download the "Stinger" - and when Stinger finds a trojan or virus, it might delete it. After your scan with Stinger you should get a good antivirus software. You can download AVG Free or AVAST for free - but ONLY one antivirus software on your computer - never more.

Here is the download site for Stinger: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger

Good luck!

Greetings from Germany

@Lee T: what you say is nonsense. I am using freeware stuffs for years (free antivirus and free antispy softwares) and I never had any problems with that. You can spend lots of money for "Norton", but every computer freak today knows that "Norton" is crap!

XP Pro on drive- i got the Ws_war virus. so boot is Crazy slow. it eats up the TCPIP stack. So I build a different hard drive with XP pro on in and installed all the antivirus software- everything is good. I now take my original HD that wouldnt boot anymore and slave it to the new HD I need to get my documents and data off of it but i get and error message that says access denied with I drill down to the documents and settings directory on the old HD to get to the MyDocuments Dir in my profile. is there any NTFS software out there or what can I do to get my data off of the old drive. I have checked to make sure that file attirbutes are set not to be hidden.

You should be able to boot into safe mode on the new hard drive and then take ownership of the restricted files/folders via the properties panel. Right click on the folder and there should be a tab that says ownership or something, and make sure you give ownership to the username you are logged in as.

SpyLocked is the latest rogue anti-spyware program to come out from the makers of SpyDawn and Virusburst. SpyLocked is installed by a trojan called Zlob, which attempts to trick you into buying the alleged anti-spyware program. Once you're infected with SpyLocked, a fake security message similar to a Windows notification pops up saying your PC is infected with malware. This SpyLocked message is used to lure you into purchasing, downloading and installing their program to remove the imaginary spyware.

SpyLocked may also automatically launch at your computer's startup and scan your computer. SpyLocked can be extremely difficult to remove manually, and will continue to try to recreate itself.

Use this free program to remove spylocked.

How do I find out what are the processes Windows XP is running during boot up?

I am having a slow boot up and shutdown time although one of the causes is antivirus software which will take a considerable amount of time. But I want to know if there is any software or tools that I can use to see what are running in the background during the boot up and shutdown session in Windows XP Pro? tks

How do I find out what are the processes Windows XP is running during boot up?norton internet security

Go to Start -%26gt; Run -%26gt; Type in 'msconfig'. In the General tab, Select 'Selective Startup' and check all under it. Next, under the Startup tab, uncheck all the processes/applications which u don't need them to start automatically when booting up. If u're unsure what processes are unsafe to remove, visit http://www.processlibrary.com/ Just type in the processes and they'll tell u a brief bkgrd of the processes.

Go to Start---%26gt;Run...

and type "msconfig" without quotes... and click ok

go to startup tab and uncheck the programs that u don't want to start...

also there is Services Tab... u can disable some services.. like Print Spooler if u don't have a printer
Just hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and the task manager will come up
Not sure if this will work on xp or not,but you can try this. Click the start button. Then click on run. In the run area type msconfig. There should be a tab caqlled startup. You can lookj in it to find out. I know it works with 95 98 me and 2000 pro for sure so maybe it will with xp
Right-click the task bar. Click on

I bought an laptop 3 months back .It came with an preloaded antivirus software(norton) wit 60 days validity.. now it is being expired n asking me to subscribe..For subscription i hav got to pay neary 4000 bugs..so my question is wheather i can now delete this n can i install some other software tat r freely available... will this be ok.

Tell me wat to do?norton

Norton should be banned from society :) Uninstall it without thinking much.

I'm using NOD32, which is much better than the rest of the antiviruses that I've used in my life.

Tell me wat to do?spyware remover

Don't delete it - uninstall it using the Add/Remove Programs control panel. Once you've uninstalled it, you can install whatever you like.

Keep in mind that most of the decent anti-virus programs will charge you a subscription fee for updates. The free programs are better than nothing, but they're not as good as the paid stuff.
You can delete it. It is very hard to get Norton completely off of your pc. You can go to the Norton site and search for free removal software. After that you can install the new anti-virus.
If you just got your laptop, I hope you got the backup disks. If you did, there should be one from Norton. Use this disk to uninstall it, or else you will not get all of it out of your computer. If you do not have the disk, contact Norton and try to obtain uninstalling help.
uninstall norton... install mcafee... it provides updates for 1 yr..

Error Code 81000306? Help please!? Msn sign in!? please?

Hey, Since I've had my laptop, i have never been able to sign into Windows live ( or any oter msn ) though i am able to sign in on browser based messangers. I always get the code ' 8100036' and when i troubleshoot it always tells me its host files or my anti virus software is blocking it.

i have tried doing this -

3. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:

regsvr32 softpub.dll

then click OK

and do the same for the following:

regsvr32 wintrust.dll

regsvr32 initpki.dll

regsvr32 MSXML3.dll

However the last code ( regsvr32 MSXML3.dll ) doesnt work.

I am on vista so is there another code that will work?

Also, I use McAfee antivirus software, how do i unblock or block programmes on it? ( and how do i block/unblock proggrams by using the normal windows firewall?)

Thanks!

Is it normal for svchost.exe to consume 100% resources at startup?

I`ve heard all the stuff about the trojans and worms that could get thru the open whatevers that svchost.exe leaves, but most of the people concerned had its resources low at all times. My problem is that this thing uses 100% of my resources at startup for about 4 minutes and then everything is back to normal. this wasn`t an issue before, so.... my question is: Is there any problem with my computer??? is that normal??? by the way, i do have antivirus software (bitdefender 8 plus), ran it and found nothing.

Thanx in advance for any help I can get

Is it normal for svchost.exe to consume 100% resources at startup?pc security

You probably won't find anything with ANY anti-virus program.

It's not uncommon, but it's not a virus.

It's most likely that pain in the butt "Microsoft Update Issue".

I had this problem also. After doing a LOT of research, I found the fix. Now my computer is perfect again. Try installing WindowsUpdateAgent30. A link and more info is available here

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/blogs/mo...

I used WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe (most people I've check with do also)

Like I said, It's most likely that Microsoft Update Issue.

Turning off your Automatic updates will work also (in freeing all your memory) until you try to update manually, but those updates are important, so I found it better just to install the fix.

Game i downloaded has adware???

I knowingly downloaded a free game from the internet that comes with one of those types of junk where it displays ads while you are online. I did this because i decided i would just uninstall it and run my antivirus software.....

what i'm wondering is..... is this okay?..... or even with uninstalling and running a scan/correcting problem will i have a problem????

TY

Game i downloaded has adware???pop up blocker

I would immediately uninstall it. Keep your anti-spyware solution up to date, and run a full scan every few days. I recommend the free SpyBot Search %26 Destroy that you can get from http://www.download.com

Don't confuse SpyWare and Adware with viruses. The best anti-spyware tools are ad-aware and SpyBot.

Good luck and Happy Computing!

In the full version of "Spy Sweeper" what is the quartine list for?

I just dont really know what its for and also i have another question... I keep on having reaccuring viruses that seem to never go away. I had limewire and since ive deleted it and its files ( i think cause i did a search for em ) and i have this worm trojan thing that appears on my " Trend Micro Antivirus" Software as a pop up warning thingy. These trojans and other thingys are still in my quarintine folder in Spy Sweeper but im wondering if deleting them from the folder will permanently rid the virus from my comp? Will it, or is it best that i keep it in the quarintine folder for safety reasons?? THX!!!!!!!!!!

In the full version of "Spy Sweeper" what is the quartine list for?security

you should delete them. after deleting run the scan again to be sure they are gone. if the scan you use cannot delete a virus only quarantine it, this happens time to time, check that you have the updated antivirus list. the publishers update what the scan looks for and how it removes the threats on sometimes a daily basis.

DELETE THEM OFF YOUR COMP.
The quartine list is to quartine all the infected files. You should delete them. It should take them off your computer for good.

Winosz32.dll?

This file is infected with a virus and my antivirus software can't fix it. Iv'e tried to remove it in safe mode and in normal mode and I can't delete it. Is there any way I can take it off my comuter?

Winosz32.dll?software

yes, go to http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Pr... and download process explorer and run it. Go to find-%26gt; find dll or handle and type in winosz32.dll. it will show you a list of processes that is using the file. Since you said your av can't delete it, I am assuming it's being used by winlogon and exlorer. if your search results say winlogon and explorer, go to the main process explorer screen and right click winlogon and choose suspend. then right click on explorer and choose kill process. then search for the .dll file, which should be in C:\windows\system32 and remove it. right click on winlogon in process explorer and unsuspend the process and restart your computer. good luck!

Winosz32.dll?vincent

try formating or repairing the operating system .
It's a convoluted process, but here goes. Download and install something called HiJackThis. (try here: http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijack... Now do the following:

Can you look for this file

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winosz32.dll

Delete it if found (run a virus scan to make sure no other instances are present, if you want to that is)

Do a "System scan only" with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

O20 - Winlogon Notify: winosz32 - winosz32.dll (file missing)

After you have ticked the above entry, close All other open windows, including this one.

Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED. OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis.

Reboot the computer.

Porblem solved... No re-formatting required.

Warning!!!!!.....................

Please Be Extremely Careful

Especially if using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on.

This information arrived this morning direct from both Microsoft and Norton.

Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet.

You may receive an apparently harmless email with a Power Point presentation

'Life is beautiful.'

If you receive it DO NOT OPEN THE FILE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES , and delete it immediately .

If you open this file, a message will appear on your screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful.'

Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC and the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail and password.

This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon.

AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the antivirus software's are not capable of destroying it.

The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner.'

Do mobile phones gets infected by viruses?

If yes, do explain how it(virus) works and also suggest the free mobile antivirus software for NOKIA 6085 phone

Do mobile phones gets infected by viruses?suzuki

Yes, they do - but not all phone models. Only phones using the Symbian S60 R2 operating system are seriously threatened by viruses. Although proof-of-concept viruses exist for phones using the PalmOS, Windows Mobile and Symbian UIQ operating systems, they have no chances of surviving in the wild. Also, there are no viruses for phones using the Symbian S60 R3 operating system, which is incompatible with and much more secure than the R2 version.

The Nokia 6085 uses neither of the operating systems mentioned above - it uses a proprietary operating systems. The only kind of third-party programs you can install on it are Java (J2ME) applets. The Java security model makes it impossible to write both a virus and an anti-virus program, that's why neither kind of programs is available for your phone.

Regarding how a phone virus works, they usually send themselves to other phones via Bluetooth radio, although some can also send themselves as an MMS (not SMS!) message or spread by infecting the MMC card (not the SIM card!) and waiting for it to be inserted in another phone.

Macintosh Virus?

Does the anouncement of the Mac OS X virus make any Apple users concerned about their security? Do you run antivirus software, or trust the OS to keep you safe?

Macintosh Virus?symantic

There are indeed viruses for the mac os. I actually get a warm fuzzy feeling every time a mac user gets a virus because they had no protection, and just assumed none had ever been written for Mac. Anyway, Mcafee and Norton both have AV programs for Mac. Mcafee's is Virex and Norton's is still just Norton

Macintosh Virus?viruses

The Leap-A virus that has been getting a lot of press recently does not exploit a vulnerability of Mac OS X, but rather relies on "social engineering" to infect your machine and spread. As long as you refrain from opening unexpected attachments that you get via chat and email, you should be alright. I still feel comfortable running without anti-virus software on my Mac.
i dont even think there are mac viruses but you can get Virex for virus protection
there are alot mac viruses out there in the wild, as a matter of fact two new had been discovered in the wild this week (leaf.a)

it is better to had an antivirus for your mac cause in this world there is no system that is completely safe.

How to make fast Internet access and smooth video watching?

Hi,

I got broadband Internet connection and Antivirus Software.

(Active virus Shield). Even though I got these things, My browsing speed become very slow(loading pages and everything) and also When I watch movies via online its stop for 5 seconds then loading, again stop for 5 seconds and again loading.

But more importantly, I haven't encounter any kind of these problem earlier. I used to watch the movies without any problem.

Is there any way to resolve these problems?

How to make fast Internet access and smooth video watching?symatec

What you are experiencing is called buffering. It happens when the stream cannot keep up with the demand on the incoming data. I would start by disabling any programs that have been install since the problem began. I would also contact your ISP and see if they have had problem with your area. It also could be as simple as the new subscribers in your area have striped the available bandwidth.

First note how much space in your c: drive do you have left. And second, uninstall or delete any unnecessary stuff that might slow down your computer. Or defragment your C: drive.

And check how much virtual ram you are currently using. It might be some adware, spyware, or even a virus that's doing the damage.

i can't get rid of these and every option is to buy or download antivirus software.

please advise me on what to do.

Please help..?triumph

You probably caught this infection by attempting to watch a video at some website. The site said you "needed" a codec or a phony Active-X control so then you downloaded it to watch the video. This was actually a ruse. A scam if you will. It was not a codec at all. (The video would have played fine without that "Codec")! What you actually downloaded was a Trojan called "Zlob".

This trojan then "phoned home" and installed the popup saying "system alert" adware on your computer with out your knowledge.

Your computer has a Smitfraud infection now, which is a very difficult one to remove. Most "all-purpose" anti-virus and anti-spyware programs (such as have been recommended to you) can only remove the original Trojan Zlob which caused the infection and not the infection itself.

The McAfee SiteAdvisor is handy to check whether sites contain bad content or not (also free, a firefox extension).
No exist, all can fail, depends of your system, but you can use AVG its freeware, also use kaspersky, panda, mcafee, and norton, you can try to use a firewall for more protection (i recommend ZonaAlarm),

Most times these programs I recommend can remove the harder to remove trojans. When you run these, you MUST BE OFFLINE, AND you need to restart the computer WHILE the programs are running. OTHERWISE, they sometimes can not be removed. Disable all other virus ans spyware software except these and remove them permamnently.

You need these: Trendmicro Housecall, Spybot Search and Destroy and AVG Free Antivirus.

NOTE: Get updates first, THEN disconnect from the Web when you run these programs, then restart, do NOT CONNECT to the Web yet, and run them again. Don't turn off SpyBot when you turn off the system. When at trendmicro, select "Scan Now It's Free"

Also, stay informed with the YAHOO Computer Geek Team!

What is the virus JS.CVE-2006-3730!exploit?

I suddenly received a message from my antivirus software yesterday that I had 3 viruses on my computer. 2 were deleted almost immediately, but this 3rd one is still in there. I began a complete system scan yesterday at 4PM and it's still running as I'm typing (on another computer!). What is this virus? Where does it come from? Any info will be helpful. Thanks

What is the virus JS.CVE-2006-3730!exploit?

CVE-2006-3730!exploit is a generic detection of web pages which attempt to exploit a vulnerability in the Windows Shell.

This does not necessarily mean that a virus has been found. It merely means that HTML code was found which attempts to activate additional executable code without the user's express permission. This exploit can be used in a malicious web page to execute code of the attacker's choice on the user's machine. Users of Internet Explorer are vulnerable to this exploit.

Microsoft plan to release a security update to address this vulnerability on Tuesday, October 10, 2006. A Security Advisory has been issued here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/securit...

Note: this detection may be triggered by merely visiting a web page that contains malicious code. It does not necessarily mean your machine has been compromised, nor that your machine is vulnerable to this particular exploit.

Crappy computer problem, some help?

Ok, my computer has been goin' fine until a few weeks ago. It started to FAIL. Whenever I run gameguard, it'll always pop out something 'bout 'a memory could not be referenced ... ' and 'Gameguard error 114' with KOREAN letters. Then I'll have to restart my computer and try all over again, with the same results most of the time, unless I get lucky. Sometimes, the fonts in it would just decide to change their size and go from big to small, including the restart button. My start menu would blank out and change into pseudo 'half-classic' appearance. Its real annoying and I'm wondering if anything serious is up with my computer. I don't remember downloading anything of late, so yeah ... Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

P.S. Just so I could clear up some misunderstandings that occurred in my previous post :

1. I'm using Windows XP

2. Its only 'bout 1 and 1/2 years old

3. I DO have an antivirus software installed (AVG)

I need some help is there an I.T. Guy here part 2?anti virus scan

networm-i.virus@fp is a security threat detected on computers infected with Rogue Antispyware.

So basically the crapware you installed to deal with spyware is malware itself... which is a common problem with people who take advice from non-techs on these boards.

Get yourself a proper security suite from a reliable vendor and this will not happen to you again. Uninstall all of the crapware on your computer and reboot.

You can find out more about the Zlob trojan that you are infected with from one of those reliable vendors I mentioned.. Symantec:

http://www.symantec.com/security_respons...

The removal instructions will be:

Disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP).

Update the virus definitions. (of your reliable security suite)

Run a full system scan. (with the security suite from that reliable vendor)

Delete any values added to the registry. (which can be found on the website of this reliable vendor).

Good Luck

I need some help is there an I.T. Guy here part 2?ariel

yea that is adware/spyware do not click the ballon try downloading spybot search and destory or adaware by lava soft they both should be able to remove that for you
I reccomend AdAware. Make sure you update the definitions too
Download install and update Spyware Doctor Starter Edition. Disconnect your pc from the net and run the program. As a backup scan, reconnect to the net and do a free online scan with Trend Micro Housecall and it will find and remove any malware left.

Hope this helps.

Computer CPU and email attachment issues?

Hi,

I'm trying to resolve an issue with my PC, I'm getting spikes in my CPU usage from 20-100% whenever I use IE, multiple windows open and the computer hangs, it's as though something is attached to IE that's increasing its CPU usage and I don't know what it could be.

In addition my emails (all of them) won't attach files from the computer. I've checked my firewall settings and they're fine for uploads of this kind but the upload takes ages (I think because of the previous issue). I've scanned my hard drive with 2 antivirus software packages and there are no obvious threats, does anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks

Computer CPU and email attachment issues?anti virus

It certainly seems like your computer is infected with some type of malware. Although you've scanned your drives with a/v software, you should also use antispyware apps to detect and clean/remove any adware, spyware, and/or browser hi-jacking.

Before installing and running antispyware scans, and if you haven't done so already, run the a/v scans while in Safe Mode.

Here are some antispyware suggestions:

Ad-Aware 2007 - http://www.lavasoft.com/single/mirror_do...

Spybot S%26D - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirro...

HijackThis - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/progr...

Note: When using HijackThis, you will need to make appropriate selections from the log. There is a forum that is specific to this at the Spyware Warrior site - http://www.spywarewarrior.com/viewforum....

Now I'm trying AVG/Antivir, and it'll get to 35% of the download being complete, but will just sit there, and not finish...why is this happening?

Why does my computer stop in the middle of a download?antispam

If your computer hangs or reboots while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yk5zpr

Why does my computer stop in the middle of a download?avast

First check for sufficient RAM in ur system.

Do ur maintainence properly like cleaning cookies,temporary IE Files

Proper defragmention, of all the drives.
