Cannot start windows7 in safe mode with networking?
Machine infected for a while now, need rapid removal.
'm an inexperienced user but want to attempt manual removal of this virus before taking further steps.
I have already scanned with Tdsskiller, malawayrebytes, microsoft security essentials and nothing comes up but my homepage in my browser( IE, firefox, and google chrome) always changes back to fbdownloader. Only browser I can use safely is safari. I have downloaded esets and aswmbr(crashed my computer). Still dont know what to do.

However every time I try to start up chrome or firefox, it keeps sending me back to [URL]Also, I've noticed that whenever one of these pages load, my computer tends to slow down, sometimes not letting me open up task manager or even shutting down my computer.I've also tried the instructions online of removing it from my extensions/addons on firefox and chrome, but it always seems to come back once I restart my computer. What do I do?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy daughter got a Security Shield virus on her laptop and I managed to remove it using this BC thread: [URL]. The laptop uses Windows 7. The removal seemed to work fine, although one slightly odd thing (compared to the thread's advice) was that I didn't have to change the LAN settings/Proxy server when I booted up in Safe Mode - the virus was preventing internet access but didn't appear to be doing so by the Proxy server change. So I was able to access the internet perfectly well when in Safe Mode with Networking.
I downloaded everything I needed using the laptop wirelesly and scanned/removed the 2 security shield virus files using malware bytes. Then, when I rebooted as normal in order to complete the process and update the HOSTS files, I couldn't access the internet wirelessly. The router is working fine and when I connect via ethernet cable the laptop communicates fine with the internet. It just refuses to let me connect wirelessly.
I have tried:
- Checking all firewall options in McAfee (though I guess this wouldn't enable a wired connection either if it was the problem)
- Removing and reinstalling the wireless device (via device manager)
- Deleting and resetting up the wireless profile
Just not sure what to do next....
I am having a problem reading some CDs on my Win7 64 bit machine. On the ones which don't work the properties window shows it as empty and the disk checker says it is not formatted.. The program CDCheck says that the CD has Win32 type file system, and that this is not recognized by my system.
Is there any way of getting my system to read the Win32 file system CD?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI do an annual windows reinstall from an iso I made of the windows boot CD when I bought windows 7. I made the iso because it's easier to keep track of files rather than CDs, and whenever I would need to reinstall I would burn the iso to a disc, install from the disc, and throw out the disc once the install was complete. Well tonight I ran out of CDs with a large enough capacity to hold the iso, so I decided to get a bit fancy.
I mounted the iso and ran the setup utility through windows, and had it install a new partition of windows to one of my unused storage drives. The install went well, I restarted, and saw that there was an option to boot from two partitions of windows 7. I eventually figured out which one was the new one, and once desktop loaded up I went into msconfig and removed the old partition from the boot tab.
The problem pops up when I went back to reformat the old partition. It gave me an error stating that it cannot format a system drive. I figure that this is because the old partition is still active somehow even though I removed it from the msconfig boot menu.
Through a bit of googling I got a general idea of what had to be done, so I went into disk management and set the new partition to 'active'. I then restarted and went into BIOS, and switched the disk boot order so that the new partition came before the old partition. My bios did not like this, because it gave me an error about NTLDR missing. So it almost appears that the NTLDR thing isn't on the new partition, but that's just a guesstimation.
Other information:
- Old partition is "disk 0" in disk management
- New partition is "disk 1" in disk management
- I cannot modify or delete any of the system files on the old partition when I'm booted in the new partition.
I have removed a program from my Win 7 HP SP1 64-bit system but its entry still appears in both Win Add/Remove and Revo Uninstaller. I have tried the technique suggested by just about every Google search return for the problem (regedit: HKLM...current version >> uninstall) but the program does not appear in that list.I have gone through the registry and removed every reference to the program I could find by expanding literally every branch in Current User, Local Machine and Users. The entry still remains.The problem it creates is that is is being used as a default program selection for opening more than a few file types and I would like to be rid of it.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have just bought a new Sony VAIO laptop which came in with a lot of different VAIO programs on it. Gaming was the main reason for buying this baby, so I thought I should keep it as clean as possible, since I will never use any of the fancy features VAIO provides (and quite frankly, I am a neat freak, so having all these programs would make me paranoid about slowing my cpu). I am currently following these steps highlighted here (url) Your-Windows-Computer to remove all unnecessary programs (including swapping over the anti viruses). is it safe to blatantly remove all VAIO programs through add or remove programs feature? I am afraid some of them might be important for windows and by removing them I would cause more issues (example- VAIO Wireless Easy Connect/Smart Network. Im more than happy to have a standard windows option tool, so would I be ok if I delete VAIO one?)
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis topic has possibly been posted before but 'search' brought up huge lists of data, copy and pasted from other posters' computers, - it was confusing.Basically, I downloaded Java as I need it to do an online course. As part of the download, I didn't untick the "recommended" toolbar MyBabylonTB as I assumed it was needed. A later Norton scan showed that MyBabylonTB had been allowed to access my computer.n anti-Malware scan didn't show up this software but I want to remove it. On the Norton forum, someone suggested this:"Download OTLDisable Norton for say 30 minutesStart OTL, Click the Scan All Users checkbox.Change file age to 90 daysPress the "Run Scan"An OTL.txt and extras.txt will be created".Has anyone else done this? Does it work and how exactly does this locate and remove MyBabylonTB? Also how do I disable the current antivirus system on my computer?
