I searched but couldn't find anyone else with this problem. I'm running 7 Home Premium 64bit. I've tried everything and had a Pro try to solve this also with zero results. Somehow, Media Center has attached itself to every exe. program/file and I'm not able to open Firefox, Chrome, System Restore, regedit, and on and on. IE 8 does work. I managed to run a free Norton scan which showed NO virus. Remote access from Cloudeight to repair was thwarted, so no help there. I cannot run Malware Bytes or any other cleaner, so really need some expert help. This is being typed on my Gateway XP Pro.BTW, I was using MSE.
Downloaded a few cbr files (comic books in .cbr format) and now I have a file listed with 0 bytes that wont let me delete it. I've tried unlocker, killbox and a few other things to try to get rid of this annoying file but nothing seems to work to make it go away. I even downloaded the same file again but while the file successfully downloaded again, the "ghost" file is still there. It is not a virus or malware; I checked that already. When I try to delete the file I get this message:"Could not find this item." "This is no longer located inC:\user(foldername)\Downloads. Verify the item's location and try again."
I can not send a soundbyte to one of my contacts. for the life of me i cant figure it out, my other contacts i can send just fine. I have updated Flash to latest for 64bit IE. this is has been a problem for a while. we both have Windows 7 installed.
the contacts version is WLM version 2011 (15.4.3555.308) and plus 6.00.0.773 Release 9/24/2012 I have the latest updated for Both WLM 2012 and plus
Some picts in my library have gone missing, sort of. One of the folders holds 11 subfolders and the picts in these don't show. The folders show 0 bytes. If I open Kodak Easyshare these picts show for a split second so I know they are somewhere. What can I do to restore them to the original location?
Is a registry cleaner necessary? On almost all of them I've used, it detects tens or hundreds of "problems" that need to be fixed, on freshly installed systems too. And after fixing them, if I run another scan, it finds even more! Does it make my system "faster" in any noticeable way? It seems to cause more problems than it fixes.
I have Windows 7. Can I download <span class="item fn"> Wise Registry Cleaner from this site or is <span class="item fn"> Wise Registry Cleaner not available for windows7?
have just purchased winferno registry power cleaner,and is expecting a lot from this software,since it is a mcafee product,or anyway i have bourght it on their site along with 4 other utilities,does anyone have any experiense with mcafee utilities in general.the reason for the purchase is that i for a while now,have had security from mcafee in form of total protection 2011-2012 and and all acces,onlie backup and god knows what.Expensive yes but efficient oh yes,it has saved my system many times when i surf on risky sites.It is not a secret that i am very pleased and impressed with mcafee in general,and i would recomend it to anyone without ecseptions.
Is there a Registry cleaner there is safe,what about Winferno Power Registry Cleaner for instance,And is Ccleaner safe if you use the default settings,what cleaners do YOU use(if any)to maintain the stability of windows 7,or to get a decent boot time;or what ever.There is doubt about that the registry is filled whit "Things" you do not need,even on windows 7,what to do about it is another question.On this Outstanding forum,i have got the understanding,that the most respected oppinion about maintance,when it comes to w 7,that the system maintain it self,and that the system tools is more than enough,Correct me if i am wrong.
Recently, when I was having a problem with crackling noise on my HTPC. I took the suggestion of one poster on the forum, who suggested using a spray such as this, because it sounded good to me. However after doing so, instead of crackling, there was no sound at allI've replaced the card, but now am wondering if I should ever use that cleaner on a computer component or not? Not sure if it matters, but it is the CRC brand
Do I need a registry cleaner with win 7 -64 bit and if so please suggest one that will not screw up windows 7-64 bit. I dont know enough to go into registry and make manual changes. I always used latest version of regvac (registry cleaner) for win xp. I am now using cc cleaner and registry mechanic with windows 7 64 bit. The regvac site it says that iregvac s compatible with win 7-32 bit and does not mention win 64 bit. Author or regvac emailed me that it wont restore 64 bit registry in restore option.
itunes somehow changed the icon of all of the apps on my computer to an itunes icon and they all go to itunes now. The control panel isn't even accessible, it opens itunes instead, it looks like that has been hijacked also. There is a PC cleaner that looks like it was recommended for a similar problem.Will this cleaner fix this problem? Does anyone know if this is even safe to try? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I am new to Windows 7 and have just come across the Vrtualization featuers. They seem interesting but I am not 100% sure of how they work.There are certain apps out there in my industry that people suspect might not be "clean" but they are very good at what they do. So I want to be protected from them. I used to use, Sandboxie with my Win XP setup.If I install or run a virus/maleware infected application, can I do so in a Virtualized way so that it doesn't infect the rest of my system?
First off Im running Avast and comodo and full malware bytes. But what Im wondering is if there is a way to check deeper for malware or issues? Reason Im asking is I think I may have downloaded an iffy program. My mouse seems to be studdering a bit ( and it didnt do it until now ) Im running a new build of only 1-2 mths old. So is there anything to look for in terms of processes etc? Or would Comodo, Avast and or Malware bytes have said something to me? Comodo kept popping up when I was installing it, but it does that anyway with any program.
I know there are few Limited connectivity threads but ive checked them, non of them have the answer im looking for so ill just tell you the story.I accidentily downloaded a malware/adware program called Antimalware Doctor, i tried going into safe mode and using multiple programs to delete it (Malware bytes, Spybot - Search and Destroy & AVG command line scanner) they apprently deleted it , i loaded my comp back to normal mode and there it was back in there corner >
i managed to get rid of the program by bringing up task manager and removing the process called "sorttm700" (thats what the antimalware doctor program was called in the toolbar when i hovered over it) then going to my computer and searching for sorttm700, i deleted all the folders with sorttm700 in them and rebooted and no more annoying ads to buy fake software however i still have limited connectivity (it became limited while the malware was on my computer and before i took any action to resolve it)i am trying to use the same network as the computer i am using now ot send this message, i never get connection problems with my laptop using this connection i have tried reseting my router and modem as well as uninstalling the driver and reinstalling and now there is a red cross with no options to connect to an access point, my wifi on my laptop is on before you ask?
when my laptop was new i never saw these folders named $RECYCLE.BIN and SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION and now i think my laptop is infected with a virus because i got these files through a pen drive, that means its a virus or a malware b'coz it spreads and many people have got this because of my laptop. but none of the antivirus i used such as avira, Avg, Mcafee and eset online scan have detected it till now. I don't know what to do.
I have win 7 and installed Microsoft Security Essential (MSE) with latest updates. System Progressive Protection (Malware) showed up and hijacked my computer.
