What can we do to fix this so we can access our old documents? We have some of the same problems when trying to access files from the net that may be in Word format.

This trojan is not seen by Norton360 full scan (N360 being too busy trying to eliminate the one lonely tracking cookie we need here to access our email). This trojan is not seen by Malwarebytes full scan, either. Does anyone have any info what is this trojan and should it be removed (and how)? It does not appear to be doing anything bad, but not Sure...not sure.
View 5 Replies View RelatedRecently I posted about attacks that involve exploits of the recently discovered vulnerability in Internet Explorer. Based on MMPC stats, since the vulnerability has gone public, roughly 0.2% of users worldwide may have been exposed to websites containing exploits of this latest vulnerability. That percentage may seem low, however it still means that a significant number of users have been affected. The trend for now is going upwards: MPC reports an increase of over 50% in the number of reports each day. The SANS Internet Storm Center, which tracks hacking trends, said that while the exploit does not appear to be widely in use at the moment, that situation is likely to change soon, since instructions showing criminals how to take advantage of this flaw have been posted online. According to knownsec, earlier this year a rumor emerged in the Chinese underground about an IE7 vulnerability and in October it began to be traded privately. In November it got into underground black market and was traded for about $15K. Later in December, it emerged and people sold the exploit second or third hand for about $650. Finally, someone purchased those second hand exploits to develop and deploy a Chinese gaming Trojan.
MMPC points to the Win32 Trojan as being the principle offender. However Secunia have a different take..........
I have recently purchased Vista 64bit via digital rivers "Ultimate Steal". I checked through Windows update advisor that it was possible to run this on my machine and it said that it would be (I am running XP pro x32 on an X58i motherboard with i7-920 processor and 6GB ram). As instructed I have downloaded the three files onto my computer (X14-63453.exe, bootwim, bootmgr.efi) and stored them into a "read and write" enabled folder on my desktop. When I run the file "X14-63453.exe" A new folder "Vista" is createdand several subfolders and files extracted but then I get and error message saying "" I believe the problem is that I am trying to install vista x64 from an XP pro x32 OS, and the vista setup files are not Win32 compatible....is this correct. If so what is the work around? In understand there is a trial version of XP x64 for download - Where is it?. Can I install this first and then download the Vista setup files onto my new desktop and proceed that way.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI turned on my computer the other day and an automatic download started to update my Verizon Internet Security Suiter (FIOS). I started a scan of my computer with the update. The new Security Suite update supposedly found 29,000+ infected files with a virus named Trojan-Downloader.Win32.VB.dck? The weird thing is - When I look for the files that are supposedly infected - or the folder that these files supposedly exist in I can't find it. The virus appears to have created a folder named " ' " on my hard drive - but when I look for this folder I can't find it. Even if I view hidden folders. My computer doesn't appear to be running strangly like it is infected. But the virus scan says it is.

Certainly going into Linux and renaming it is not a problem, but I'm curious - is there a way to deal with issues such as this in Windows?

View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is not the same problem that was discussed in 2007--does not have to do with mail. I get the error "Could not locate a valid definitions file. Please go to the program options and click 'update definitions' to download a definitions file"
This message appears every time Vista starts. We think it has to do with the installation of a HP printer--a Photosmart C4140 which is not fully supported by Vista and won't completely install because of that. The original problem gave this error along with a message that Vista had recovered from a serious error and then would shut down in 1 minute--which it did. Continuously.
I uninstalled the printer and all was well. Funny thing is, the computer and printer were working up until maybe 5 days ago. Perhaps installing only the basic printer drivers for the printer would make this go away? The user says he has no need for scanning, so maybe that solution would work. What we would really like to know is what on earth does the error message mean. What definitions file? What program options?

In any case I noted a difference between Winword2000 and other Office programs: on the normal launch Word shows a window for 'user account control', Cancel, Allow (or something like that, mine is not in english). Running Excel, powerpoint and other, not.
I need to run Word2000 from a vba macro in Access2000: no problem with XP or Win2000. If i call a 'new Word.Application' or 'Shell("c:...winword.exe')' i have the error: Function call or argument not valid or Automation Error To execute the requested operation is needed a higher rights.
If i change for 'calc' or 'notepad' there are no problems. If I put Word in other folder (ex. c: mpwinword.exe) Shell() is able to run it but hen i need to get the variable to control the program: if I call GetObject(,"Word.Application") I get l'error 13.
