I have just re-activated my Incredimail programme. The "MyStart" and "Babylon" browsers have appeared and I am not able to eliminate/remove or disable them from either Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 Google Chrome or I.M 9. They do not appear to be actual Malware, but they hijack my Google.
View 6 RepliesI think I am having a problem with a trojan, "Backdoor:Win32/Cycbot.B". MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) has removed this trojan twice in the past 2 days. It says it's deleted successfully, but I'm having symptoms that say otherwise. What's been happening that tells me something is not right is that since yesterday, when I open a browser (any browser), I get a message that the proxy is refusing the connection, and when I check the settings, it shows the connection settings have been changed to "Manual Proxy Settings" with my computer's local host IP used as the proxy IP. I have searched for removal tools, but Firefox's Web of Trust tells me all the search results are rated "bad/" and the Microsoft Malware Encyclopedia doesn't offer a link for one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was recently infected with the Smart Fortress 2012 malware. I'm fairly confident I've successfully removed it (ran lots of tools, which found it a removed it, no symptoms currently). However, it seems to have done damage to Windows Firewall. I cannot start the firewall service. I have tried multiple fixes (5 or 6, many per instructions of Microsoft's website), including Microsoft's associated FixIt tool for this problem, to no avail. I still get the message "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall on Local Computer..." (see attached jpg for error). Also, I tried a System Restore (tried 4 restore points), the process failed each time.

so somehow I caught the malware program known as Windows 7 recovery. As per its standard operations it made my computer seem like it was having a bunch of issues, hid all the files on my hard drive, removed my background, etc. I followed a removal guide I found here on bleeping computer and it did rid of me of that annoying malware. A lingering problem I am still experiencing is that all my start menu items are missing. For example there is a folder for Microsoft office, but when you open it it shows as empty, but if I open a Microsoft office file like say a word file the program opens as normal. I have run the unhide.exe file a couple of times, and shutdown my firewall and maleware protection, but to no avail the start menu items still seem to remain hidden.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried a recommended programme called VIPsportsbox and after downloading and installing it all sorts of things went wrong. I uninstalled it but then found several changes had been made which I am unable to change back. My browsers all defaulted to Babylon search. I cured Firefox by uninstalling and reinistalling it, Crome the same, but I can not find a way to uninstall IE to enable me to reinstall it.Other programmes have appeared as well, which may not have anything to do with this but coincidently seem to be affecting my computer: Yonto,Catalyst Control Centre and of course Babylon.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a program to help me edit some DVD menu's and this Babylon Search function was downloaded with it. It created add-on's and made my computer do things that were not desirable. I uninstalled it but found it to be still lingering on my computer in the add-on sections of browsers. Ever since I downloaded the program and got the "Babylon Search" with it I have found that my computer is running really slow. It also shows up in Internet Explorer when I click to open a new tab. It comes up right away and seems to be mimicking the Google Search layout only it says Babylon in the top right of the screen...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just replaced the internal HDD on my laptop with a SSD using a freshly made image from W7 Backup and Recovery. When it completed, I found that the D partition had not been imaged because I did not check for both C and D partitions be included in the backup--on in any of the earlier backups.
What is the best way to reimage the installed SSD so that the files on the D partition will be included? I have partial backups of most of those files on an external HDD, but they are not complete.
I need to reinstall the OS and the drivers. The problem I am having however is that the startup repair doesn't run and the startup gives me a bluescreen (of death ). I have tried to use both discs (OS and the drivers respectively) in the system however they eould not run as the computer crashes every time I boot normally. I was originally trying bleeping computer to solve my Zeroaccess trojan problem however I took it to thinkgeek to see if there was a potentially safer way to remove it, they instead removed about my entire OS. If there is any way I can reinstall everything without any downloads that would be just amazing right now.

Later After I went Home, I decided to remove the printer, since that was a one time event. I went to remove the device from devices and printers, and after I removed the device, I refreshed the list, and it reappears!

If I look in "Devices and Printers" it doesnt show up any more as expected.( also all virtual printer programs/plugins which I had installed dont show up any more if I click e.g. Print in an editor program... )
I also successfully deleted the printer in the shared printer list I get when I run "net share" in a command line.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIve had XP 32 bit SP3 on one partition, 7 Ultimate 64 bit on another, and all my data on a third, ive been running a dual boot system for some time with both OS, and earlier, i figured i never use XP any more, so id format that partition, and merge with the windows 7 one.Big mistake, i selected format disk using Acronis disk director, waited for it to restart, and i get a message NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl alt Del to restart, searched the internet endlessly, found the most common advice is to use the recovery disk to fix the bootmanager and voilla. So I:Used recovery disk: automatic fix - didnt work Used command prompt, bootrec.exe etc etc (basically following this guide [URL] - it said, "cannot find bcd" when i used "del C:ootcd" Tried resetting the BIOS Removed all CDs and floppys Now the message has changed to BOOTMGR is missing, again, tried using the recovery disk: didnt work, the old XP partition was left "half formatted" from acronis, as i was never able to restart and finish the job.Right now i am using the win7 disk to format the old C (XP) partition and install a copy of win7 on there just so i can get into an OS and use EasyBCD to fix my bootmgr, then hopefully get rid of the "temporary" win7 partition.I sort of got it all working, and then i used disk director to make my windows 7 install the primary drive, and active. that worked fine... then i made the old OS partition change from primary to logical, hoping to then reformat it and merge with the current OS partition, now here is when i ran into trouble.Upon reboot, I could not get into my OS again, this time i just get a blinking underscore. I ran recovery disk, automatic recovery didnt work, Ran ChkDsk on C: E: drives (OS partitions), Errors on the E: drive (this was the old OS drive, nothing on it so i used DOS to reformat it... that all went well)
I tried to recover bootmgr again, didnt work, so i tried to install 7 on the freshly formatted drive, i get the message "windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation" "run ChkDsk on C:" I run chkdsk on C and it says its fine... Try to install again, i get the same message.Now when i turn my computer on i get the message "A disk read error occured, Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart"
EDIT 2: Tried re-formatting, windows 7 wouldnt install again on the old partition, so i tried installing windows XP, now the error has gone back to NTLDR is missing press CTRL ALT DEL to restart, I tried running recovery console off XP CD, it said it rebuilt the bootmanager, and is detecting Windows XP, but still... not starting. Done some more stuff - this time DISK READ ERROR, seems to be rotating between these error messages.
To put it shortly, I have that utility called advanced system optimizer and I performed a scan to find duplictaes on my partitions. It resulted a cluster of 10000 files. Ther are all kind of files and many are founded on several locations. I dont know if its safe to remove them and which exaclty should I remove( one from each group all etc). What put me on doubt even more is thati saw files bot located in c program data and in c users so I want to ask if its normal to have them simultaneusly in thse locations?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wanted to update my chipset/LAN drivers for my mobo because I got some strange issues in my network.
Let's start from the begining. There are 2 computers in lan, one running windows 7 and the other on XP. While ago, net provider cut me up for like 4 days and since then I couldn't get my windows 7 to connect to lan. It said there was come connection issues and it couldn't find any solution for that (yellow triangle appeared next to the "LAN monitors" icon in tray). I couldn't connect even to the local network while XP comp connection still works fine, i'm writing from it now.
So I ended up doing this stupid thing, "updating chipset/lan" drivers for my mobo. Firts I wanted to remove old driver as I used to do it on my old XP - driverSweeper in recorvery mode. When I rebooted system it was too late. Blue Screen flashed in front of my eyes while startup animation was playing and the computer resets. Later I found out it said 0x0000007b. Nothing I could thing of helped to fix it. No restore points were taken (no auto, no manually done by me, oh you stupid), WinRE with fixing tools, startup fix, memory thing - nothing.
Mother board isn't in fact broken or something, I still can run my Ubuntu LiveCD. I managed to burn WinRE thanks to that. Even though it was the same damn thing as on the Windows 7 installation disk.
Is there any hope for this issue? Only thing I know is that my system is missing Chipset drivers and it can't manage to fix by itself.
i wanted to install xp since there were some program glitches in win vista and 7. now when i boot, it doesnt give me the option to boot into Windows 7. it was gone.i created a separate 20gb partition on the same hd as my Windows 7 and installed it onto that.should i repair my Windows 7 os and delete the xp? now i removed the xp partition and now it has no os to boot into.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have previously started a thread asking a question about why external drives cannot be safely removed due to being either in use by another process or wording similar to this.I have now searched this forum for any previous threads relating to this problem, and also at other forums without any definitive answer as to a solution. I was previously told about a program called LockHunter which I have used to identify the system processes which stop the drive from being able to be removed.I have searched around for a few hours trying to find a solution to this problem to no avail.Does anyone know of a definitive solution that they could outline step by step here or is this another bug in Windows that they have deemed to hard to patch and therefore placed the topic in the too hard basket? Just thought I would add that I just checked the security of my external drive. This is unrelated to the previous question, but does anyone know why there would be an SID (EG: S-1-5-21 ETC ETC) named as the owner of my external drive? I have just put about 600GB worth of backup on this and prior to that it was unused.I understand that SID's can be remnants from having the drive plugged in to other machines, however the same SID which appears if I look at the owner of the root drive letter does not also appear in the first screen in the security tab under group or user names.
