Every Program Gives Security Bogus Warning
May 7, 2011
I get a popup widow for damn near every program on my computer after a recent virus attack the gave me continious bogus security warnings.I'm 99.9 percent sure I've killed off the virus but now I can only access some files by right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator". I've tried downloading the files I need to repair my Windows 7 Home Pro Pro but I can't get it to run.I'm waiting on a 2-disc package from Asus that contains Windows 7 but I really don't want to loose all of the data on my harddrive.

Trying to download a GIS mapping program from Purdue Univ. Seems to download to my "Dwonloads" file. When I look at the Download folder it shows an icon with correct title, but I can't see any files when I double click on it. This is not a "file folder" icon. I get an "Open file Security Warning" pop up. Shows run or cancel. Hit run it brings up "Win Zip Self Extractor" pop up. I have already supposedly unzipped this into the downloads. Have been through the issues of downloading Google Earth and think I have worked this out.

I'm using windows 7 and INTERNET explorer 8 when I get on the INTERNET and try to go to Hotmail a window comes up and says, "Security Warning - Do you want to view only the web page content that was delivered securely?" In the box that comes up it has more... "This web page contains content that will not be delivered using secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire page." Then it has three buttons to click on, "More Info", "Yes", "No" - This comes up time after time, page after page, didn't use to do this and I haven't downloaded any programs for security, or to use with/on the INTERNET.

I use Outlook2010 as mail program. When I Start it to receive my mails I got a Internet Security warning. Target Principal Name is Incorrect What simply means that the URL of the certificate and the domain I connect to is not the same. Thats not a real problem as I know the cert is OK.
The question is how do I tell outlook that it hast to trust this certificate? I already tried some ways to install it, but it seems that I'm missing something.

A buggy drive management tool erased my SECOND (not boot) hard drive's MBR and replaced it with a completely bogus and useless GPT.My actual partitions should be intact, and I am optimistic that partition recovery tools would be able to find them and restore the original partition table. However, they won't work, as long as the drive is identified as a GPT disk

Does malware/viruses take advantage of file associations to do their dirty work? I have a utility that can delete unwanted associations, but what about those entries that are unknown, can't be identified, or suspicious? Is there any list like on your helpful default file association page that can identify bogus entries? I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7.

I just installed Windows 7 from XP and I'm having a tough time figuring out the best way to setup/use programs without totally disabling the UAC out of frustration. I'm trying not to disable it but it's pretty annoying. Can anyone give a general strategy for setting up the operating system within the UAC environment?
I started out trying to install programs on my user account but found that to be highly annoying with all the pop-ups about permissions. So I tried installing programs using the admin account but I'm unsure of the best way to make those programs available (with the program settings intact so I don't have to set everything up twice) to my user account.
Logically, it seems this is the best method but I'm not sure if I should "share" the programs between admin and user or go into the program properties and select "run as admin" for every program I want to use on a user account...or both? If I share/run as admin all these programs isn't that somewhat defeating the purpose of not using an admin account anyway?

I downloaded Superantispyware.com on my netbook with Windows 7 starter.The security center notes that windows defender real time is turned off which is correct.There is a button to scan for other antivirus programs. However, windows 7 will not recognize my antivirus software. How do I correct this?

I recently purchased a lenovo laptop for home purpose around 1.5 months back. The laptop was having already microsoft security essentials (MSE) and mcafee antivirus plus software. Unfortunately, yesterday i was facing blue screen on death type of error (BSOD) error. On one forum, I found that it may be due to the mcafee antivirus software. So, I uninstalled the software as per suggestion.Why MSE was not able to detect this bsod error? Moreover, why mcafee, which itself is a anti-virus software, was causing this issue?
Morever, I want to install good free antivirus software. I am totally confused whether should I install the antivirus software or, the internet security software. Please throw more light on good free internet security software from longer perspective. (I just found that almost all free trials are only for 1 month only)? Moreover, why built-in windows firewall and microsoft security essentials (MSE) are not enough for detecting malacious software. Why extra internet security software or antivirus software is required ?

I recently bought a notebook PC, and was quite annoyed to find that Intel has magically removed the ability to change the Centrino N 130 wireless adapter's MAC address.Before the nutters get in here with accusations of "illegal" activity, I feel obligated to point out that there is nothing "illegal" about changing the MAC address on my own property. Briefly, I want to pose my notebook as a hypothetical attacker, trying to bump one of my other wireless devices off the router by assuming its MAC address. I don't really know what would happen if I did this, because, like I said, Intel artificially crippled the Centrino N 130 through its Windows 7 drivers. Rather paternalistic of them.Another benefit of the proposed experiment: showing the futility of MAC filtering in keeping out the "bad guys." I have been convinced of this for some time, but been simultaneously unable to demonstrate it to my own satisfaction. There is no substitute for actually trying something, rather than just reading about it.
I am also a little annoyed at the Centrino N's (lack of) performance. I have yet to have it connect at greater than 72 Mbit/s, even while sitting less than 10 feet from the router with a clear line of sight.FWIW, my router is a NetGear WNR3500v2. N wireless is enabled. As far as I know, this router is capable of supporting a full 300 Mbit or so 802.11n wireless connection, as long as the wireless NIC on the other end is doing its part (which mine doesn't).With all that in mind, can someone suggest an N-capable wireless NIC that is not purposely crippled by its manufacturer? I would prefer an internal mini-PCIe card, but Intel seem to be the only ones making those. Even a G-capable or USB device would probably serve the purpose, if that's all that's available.

I've just moved flat and after I did my computer keeps rebooting itself every so often. There doesn't seem to be any reason to it. I've check that all my fans are still working and that all the cables and cards and what not are corrected install and that something hasn't been knocked but everything seems fine to me. I had a wee gander round the internet and it pointed me to check my system log and the two error codes I'm getting every time this happens is: Event I.D 41 + Event I.D 6008. The I have just recently got a new Graphics card, 4gb extra of ram and a wireless adapter. These were all installed on a clean version of windows 7.

Since about 1 month my PC turns randomly off. Sometimes after 10 hours, sometimes after 2. Mostly when in Idle or when I'm watching movies on a second Monitor (TV but it also crashes if it is unplugged so thats not the reason). Sometimes when I try to boot again it wont start except if I turn off the PSU for ~15 seconds. Sometimes when I reboot there's an error message "Asus Anti Surge was triggered".
I already tried:
- Replaced my OCZ ModXstream 600w with a Corsair AX750 PSU
- Stock settings in Bios
- Asus Anti surge deactivated
- Changed the power outlet to another one
My hardware:
i5 3570k @4,3 GHZ
Asus Sabertooth Z77
GeiL Evo Corsa 16GB
Sapphire AMD 6970HD
2 Harddisks 250/500gb
1 SSD OCZ Agility 3 120gb
And like I mentioned 2 different PSU's.
OCZ ModXstream 600w
Corsair AX750

I have an acer Extensa 5620Z laptop and recently, without any warning it just restarts. A blue screen appears out of nowhere and then the computer restarts. When I was able to choose how to restartt I chose safe mode and went to the event log where it said "The driver detected a controller error on DeviceIdeIdePort2.". I have no idea what this is and I've seen a bunch of stuff talking about reconnecting thing and adding new roms
