Hacked By Vista Antispyware 2010
Mar 28, 2010
I'm new at this so sorry if this has already been posted and answered. Basically I was hacked by vista antispyware 2010 a couple of times and its really messed up my laptop. I got it to go away by using safe mode then the nrmal mode but I'm sure it's still there. It's made "open with" come up everytime i use a program and grayed out the default option. It won't let me use anything but internet explorer giving me the message "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the set associations control panel." I tried to attempt a system restore but "open with" comes up and i dont know which program to use for this.

Changing the visual style of Windows is something that has become very popular over the years with Windows XP. In Windows Vista, this is just starting to gain momentum with the release of a few cool hacked visual styles. These alternative visual styles are replacements for the default Aero glass style and offer slight tweaks on the design. Over time there will be more and more higher quality visual styles released for Windows Vista.Â
If you want to get started, you will need to download the hacked visual style skinning engine files from Rafael Rivera’s  site. Rafael has both x86 and x64 versions available. These modified system files remove the requirement for visual style files to be digitally signed by Microsoft.  If you need help replacing the system files with the modified files, check out my article on working with system files in Windows Vista.Â
UPDATE: There is now an automated utility that allows you to patch your visual style skinning engine files with just one click. Click here to check it out.
Make sure you replace all three hacked system files:...

I am being hacked by someone very malicious. At one time there were 3 other PCs on my Norton map view and I have done enough research to find out that someone is using my internet connection with wireless devices. I myself don't have any wireless devices and have only 1 PC so I know they are not mine. Now they have blocked me out of that page so I can't check if they are there or not. The phone company refuse to help me track them so. I need to know how to find their IP so I can give it to the authorities and get it stopped. I'm so tired of reformatting every week or two because they mess with my system files etc.

Internet Explore and Windows Host Process Server on my computer are attempting to connect multiple times a day (20 or more) to numerous google.com ip addresses across a wide viriety of ports in the 45000's. I have been unable to close the processes. The Internet Explorer process has been running as a seperate program that I am unable to see and uses 45,000k of ram. It is also not possible for me to shut the program down. I have nine svchost.exe (windows host process services) running which are also attempting to communicate with google.com. These events are of great concern to me as I work for a financial firm and keep large amounts of proprietary knowledge on my computer.

i tried installing a hacked version of windows vista so i could upgrade from a 32bit OS to x64 but the only changes that happened is:
1)a new screen right before the vista startup music screen pops up appeared after i "installed" the hacked version which says "A WORLD WITHOUT RELIGION" over a pic of the NYC skyline. it is there for maybe 30 seconds then dissapears and the computer starts normally
2) i am no longer able to sleep/hibernate my laptop. If i try, it turns on but i get a blank screen so i have to either pull the battery out or hard reset in order to get my laptop working again. vista, or at least on my laptop, isnt the quickest to start up so having to do this everytime i use my laptop is extremly annoying i have no clue what to do or how to take it off.

Does anyone know how much it will cost to upgrade Home & Student 2007 to
2010 when it goes on sale in June? I purchased this 2007 installation disk
two years ago. I am not at all dissatisfied with the applications but would
prefer working with the latest releases if the cost is not prohibitive.
Replies and comments would be appreciated.

I have a Samsung netbook with Windows 7 starter edition, 250GB HD and 1MB of RAM. I purchased it with a trial version of Office Home and Student which has expired. I am a public sector employee which entitles me to a discount on Microsoft Office Professional 2010 which I have downloaded and installed after unistalling Home and Student 2007 using the Programs and Features in Control Panel.
Now, when I open Excel 2010, if I make a new file and save it, it works fine. But when I try to open an Excel file from Office 2007 or 2003, it will open but if I try to change the file or save it as an Office 2010 file, excel stops working and shuts down. Windows has no solutions to this problem. I have checked for updates, but all that windows update offers are updates for the 2007 version of Office.

About two years ago, I purchased Microsoft Home and Student 2007 along with Microsoft Outlook 2007 for my Dell computer running Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit). Can anyone tell me how much it would cost to upgrade to Version 2010 for these programs? I am a single user, at home small office - would such an upgrade yield any significant benefits?

I was invited to download the Office 2010 preview from Connect. Not too impressed so far. It has no stationery at all & the only wizard I've found thus far is the envelope wizard. Office 2007 was bad enough with its plethora of already-written forms and hardly any decent smart-looking templates for business or personal letters, but this one has none at all, meaning not even one.
Generally I see little difference from Office 2007 except a much plainer "look". Which isn't always a good thing. Perhaps I'm being impatient. I only installed it 5 minutes ago but do NOT like it, sorry!!

I recently aquired the "Vista AntiMalware 2010" rogue antimalware. I was trying to get rid of it, then I found this site Vista AntiMalware 2010 - how to remove And deleted the only registries I found. I restarted my computer, and when I started it, this came up on a black screen: NTLDB not found (or removed or something)Press any key to restart
I'm pretty sure it was NTLDB but not 100%. I was pretty worried, and so when I restarted it again, I hit F12, then exited that. The computer started fine, it got to my desktop OK. BUT I can't open any programs except for Firefox. This error message comes up when I open iTunes, or any other program:This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.I do no know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. I don't know much about technology, but I can follow directions, and I'm not entirely stupid.Also, before this happened, I couldn't install anything. And when I tried to, it said:Internal error: can not expand shell folder "userappdata" Again,
EDIT: I also can't get to the command prompt, registry editor, or malicious removal tool. Nothing is working.And this is only on my user. My sister's and my dad's work just fine.

I just uninstalled BitDefender Internet Security 2009 in order to upgrade to BDIS 2010. I used their uninstall tool, rebooted, then rebooted again choosing a clean boot so I could install BDIS 2010. When I got to the end it wouldn't let me activate. The message was "activation failed because no internet connectioin was detected. Please connect and try again." Now BD says they are aware of the problem and are working on it.
However, since I installed BDIS 2010 a lot of other things have stopped working. Windows Explorer, my snipping tool, when I try to take a screen shot and paste it into paint it says "information on the clip board can't be inserted into paint." I'm also continuously getting the message that IE8 is not working and is being shut down by DEP. I don't know what else might not be working. BitDefender, naturally, has turned off their chat support. Does anyone know what could be causing all this stuff not to work?

My NIS 2010 runs out in 15 days, and instead of paying them $60 for another year I'm wondering if it's safe enough to just use MSE and the built in firewall.I never had any complaints with norton, it worked great, never noticed it at all, but I just can't justify spending $60 for something is MSE is at least or even almost as good.I haven't seen many independent tests of MSE,while I know that Norton is one of the best at detection and removal.

I apparently got a virus on my laptop. As soon as the internet connection is established, I keep receiving tons of messages informing me that my laptop is infected. A Visa Internet security 2010 window popups, where Firewall and Malware are off and it tells me that I have to buy a subscription to get rid of the problem. It apparently detects 28 trojan... programs. I ran Avast and another anti-virus program. They did detect some trojan programs but did not find the cause of the infection. When I try to go on Firefox, it says that Firefox is infected with Trojan_BNK.Win32.keylogger.gen

Desktop PC will be one year next month. I did not renew the Microsoft Office after trial period that came as a package w/ no future intention of acquiring it. I'm using the free Open Office program - word processing mostly at this time. Is there anything in the list below that is of importance? I only have a basic PC with DVD player for movies, etc. No scanner, printer or fax. Not even external hard drive or usb flash drive. Otherwise, I understand that I can just choose to hide the updates, so it will not keep reminding me. Also, I choose to keep my OS w/ Srvce pk 1 and MS IE version 7 for as long as I'll be able to. I had too many probs with Srvce pk 2 and MS IE version 8. Your opinion, if any, is welcome.......

The biggest factor that explains why your scores between XP and Vista are so radically different is because the benchmark program you are using (you never said which) is likely written specifically for XP. The Vista scores cannot be taken as a true benchmark unless you use a benchmarking utility written specifically for Vista, such as PCMark Vantage. You can then compare scores between yours and other Vista installations. But unless you find a utility that can correctly test and recognize the differences between both XP and Vista, you cannot accurately compare scores.

A friend of mine has been locked out of his Dell laptop and cannot find the password for the single account that it has. The laptop has Vista Ultimate installed on it and I am unable to activate the hidden administrator's account to get into Vista. Other investigations using other software shows only 2 accounts, Administrator and Guest but not the actual user single account that shows up onto the login screen. ( I have managed to blank out the Administrator and Guest passwords ) I have a standard Vista Recovery Disk , but I am unable to either repair or re-install Vista from the Dell hidden partition , and the only alternative is to install a unused retail version of Vista Home Premium that my friend has been given awhile ago. I have 2 questions
1) Is the Vista Ultimate user account passwords located in a different place as compared to other versions of Vista?
2) if I install this retail version of Home Premium on the Dell laptop, will I have problems with the propriety hardware that is on the Dell laptop and would I need to find all the Dell drivers for the laptop?

The often heard recurring theme spread by no nothing trolls and fanboys is if Vista isn't working right, it must be something you did rather than owning up to how badly Vista is designed once you start poking around and SEE how badly implemented it is. Much of the frustration with Vista comes from it's applets crashing or acting up for no apparent reason. Since these applets are INTERNAL and built-in as part of Vista's core the often heard excuse it's some third party driver, a hardware problem or other software you installed is proven to be bogus.
When something happens to either crash or slow down Vista it usually gets documented in Vista's Error Logs. However like most everything else Microsoft does, the logs are of little actual value other than pointing to how poorly designed and broken Vista really is.
To illustrate how broken Vista is, here's my experience this morning. As usual I started my day going to Google (my default home page) and clicking on News to see what the headlines were. Microsoft's browser hung. Waiting for it to respond, after 90 seconds I gave up and sure enough was treated to the usual BS asking if you want to wait longer or shut it down. I shut IE7 down. Next I went to Event Viewer......

I'm new to Vista x64 (the op sys as well as this site). I have just endeavored to try out Vista 64 bit on one of my workstations. I run VMWare Workstation at work and can use the additional memory addressing of Vista 64 (I have 4 gigs of RAM). nyway, my problem is this.
1) I created another partition on my drive for Vista x64. (two other partitions running Vista x86).
2) I have been running dual boot with Vista for quite a while and it runs fine.
3) After creating the new partition and installing Vista x64 with SP1 (integrated service pack on install DVD), I get drive corruption problems all over the place.
I have 3 500 gigabyte Western Digital drives in this machine. The first is for operating system partitions and the second strictly for backup (using Acronis True Image) and the third for data. The data drive seems to have problems reading when I attempt to install additional drivers for the x64 bit environment (just downloaded from the web). Also, I soon will get errors afterwards on the C drive also.

There are many articles on how to dual boot Vista and XP, but I want to dual boot Vista and Vista, with an existing installation, on 2 Hard Drives. Currently I switch these in the BIOS, but I'd much rather chose at a later stage, can this be done? Why? Because I keep one of the drives for random software that I rarely use.

CANNOT SIMPLY UPGRADE WITHIN VISTA??? FIRST TIME ISSUE EVER POSTED! I have a question that I cannot make sense of. I have Windows Vista Home Basic with SP1 installed on my computer. I have a copy of a legit retail version of Windows Vista Ultimate Upgrade SP1 DVD-ROM. I want to upgrade my current Vista Home Basic to Vista Ultimate. Sounds simple enough. I have read everywhere on the web and it can upgrade easily as long as you upgrade within Windows Vista and not a reboot installation. Okay, but when I get to a point in the Vista grade process, I CANNOT! During the installation process, when I get to the screen that states, "Which type of installation do you want?" AFTER INPUTTING THE VISTA ULTIMATE KEY CODE ON A PREVIOUS SCREEN, the option should be "Upgrade" ONLY and NOT "Custom (Advanced)" since the key code is set for upgrade option only. I GET THE TOTAL OPPOSITE!!! I only get the option "Custom (Advanced)" and the "Upgrade" option is grayed out. WHAT??? NO "Upgrade" option??? I SHOULD BE GETTING THE "Upgrade" OPTION!!! This does not make any sense!!! It states at the reason at the bottom of this screen, "Upgrade has been disabled. - The upgrade option cannot be started, to upgrade, cancel the installation and then choose to upgrade to a version of Windows that is more recent than the version you are currently running." This does not make any sense, does it??? I should be able to only upgrade since I only have an upgrade disc. I am upgrading from a lower edition of Vista to a higher edition of Vista, therefore I should ALSO have this feature to upgrade enabled too when it knows my CD key is a higher ("upgrade") edition. I have spent several hours searching and read around the web and cannot find my same or similar case scenario. A first time! People who have upgraded between different editions of Vista with either the Windows Anytime Upgrade retail package or (mine) the Windows Vista Ultimate Retail Upgrade box (includes the Windows Anytime Upgrade anyways on it) say it is a breeze! What is going on with me??? I should not be having any problems what-so-ever!
