View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble downloading from web pages. Everything that I try to download I can't. A window pops up in the bottom of my computer and says that the download contained a virus and was deleted. I am an online student and need some guidance. This has been going on for two weeks now. I don not have an anti virus anymore because I did a system restore and it wiped out my antivirus protection, and since everything that I try to download contains a virus and is deleted, I cannot get another anti virus. I even tried using my flash drive

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was infected by a virus. It makes the shift key get repeatedly pressed over and over. This happened to me before and I solved it by scanning with MalwareBytes and AVG. When I went to scan with MalwareBytes it needed updating, so I let it. Unluckily for me MalwareBytes thought it would be kind and restart the computer without my consent. Now, due to the virus, I can't login to my account to do anything, even in safe mode.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials and now I think I have some sort of virus. Within minutes of logging onto my computer, a message keeps popping up that there is a critical error and that the computer will restart within one minute. I have tried to do anything I possibly can to get rid of this issue! It does the same thing while booting up in safemode as well. I also tried to restore my computer to a previous date before this occurred, and it still keeps happening. I figured i'd try to restore it to factory settings also, but it does not give me the option while booting up (f11), or on my control panel. I also tried using the TDSSkiller but my computer reboots before the scanning/fixing finishes.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOk so today i was clearing some data with the Disk Clean Up, almost right after that my computer became extremely slow and unresponsive, I found that my McAfee Security that came free with the laptop was Turned Off and it wont Turn On again. I have tried Installing AVG, running an Rkill that i downloaded last year and have done a System Restore as far back as possible but still my computer becomes unresponsive and wont open any programs unless i'm in safe mode.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am now struggling with a virus that seems to have imbedded itself in my windows 7 system.I tend not to use it too regularly but the boyfriend does use it to play games in Facebook. I am running a Norton antivirus which has been pretty good up till now. The computer seems to be running fine but my email account has been hijacked and on finding this out I have checked the computer and tried to perform a scan of both the windows system and also my accounts to no avail.The desktop symbols are all in place but none of them are working. I have also tried running a scan in safe mode, once again it would not work. The task manager did not show any action with regards to the antivirus scan that I had requested it to perform.

i built a sandy bridge computer 5 months ago and it worked out great. however today (more specifically this night), i am getting a werfault error when i try to run my calculator (calc.exe). bare with me because this is off the top of my head. the error says something like cannot find reference in *memory address* then gives me another error saying that calc.exe couldnt start correctly.
my first initial thought is that i should run memtest and what not. but i wanted to try to do a system restore first to see if it clears up anything. however, i am prevented from restoring my computer. i would run it and select a date and confirm the restart but then it comes back with system restore has failed/errored. so i am thinking it could be a virus that deleted something important and prevented me from restoring my computer.not sure if these things indicate something else, but i have also encountered "video driver stopped responding and has recovered". in addition, my task bar has been changing from windows 7 theme to a windows 98 type bar and back.
I am considering installing Windows 7 Professional on a Macbook Pro using Bootcamp and partitioning the hard drive. I understand that when you do that your computer is then prone to viruses. But I was wondering, if you get a virus using Windows 7 on a Mac, does it only effect the Windows Partition or does it effect the whole Hard Drive?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am fixing to get a new computer and will be needing anti virus for it. I'm not asking what is the best free anti virus out there. Money is not an issue, I want the best all around anti virus to date. I am using avast pro right now, but felt like there is probably something better. I am debating on BitDefender, kapersky, Norton, or maybe put Avast back on.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe other day my computer was infected with "FakeSysDef" virus. "Microsoft Safety Scanner" detected it, and cleaned it(MS Security essentials and MS Malicious Program Removal Tool both failed though). I didn't realize that a browser hijack/redirector was left behind, so in the middle of the night another virus named "Privacy Protection" installed itself. Malwarebytes cleaned that one up. But the hijacker was still there. "Spybot" Hijack tool fixed that.Now my computer is clean and useable, but it's a buggy mess. Alot of things don't work right anymore.
*My "all programs" list in control panel is blank(programs are still installed though).
*I can't get a desktop background picture to stay.
*Some installed programs aren't listed in the "programs&features" list, so I don't know how to delete them.
*Other programs like Bing won't delete because it says they are running(but they're not).
*Some of my picture and music folders are locked, but I can get into them through shortcuts from other parts of the computer.
