Earlier today, my main computer was hi-jacked by Antivirus Gold. I can uninstall it, but it returns immediately upon reboot. Try as I might, I cannot get rid of it. It's taken over my desktop and
will not allow me to change it, constant black background with a huge "Buy Me" advertisement.
It seems to behave like Spyware, but Microsoft's beta spyware detection and removal utility doesn't know about this and fails to see it. In fact, none of my housekeeping utilities, including SpyBot,
AdAware, Registry FirstAid, etc., see it or remove it. It won't leave me alone, constantly popping up with warning messages urging me to buy.
I had this problem before and solved it. However could not remember how !!!I use a broad band for most tasks. Rarely I use my modem to send faxes via computer.Today I tried to send a fax, using my modem Zoom 56K datafax dual mode PnP.I did not manage to do it and all times computer shows a box with a standard
note advising me that "Your modem is being used by another program. Please the other program and tru again. if error persists re-start yourcomputer".There is no other program running as I have rebooted my computer several times.Diagnostics does not work at all.Eventually there is a startup program taking the modem but I do not know what it could be.Sure this situation has been occurred with some of you

View 8 Replies View RelatedI downloaded EZ Trust Antivirus 2005, but am not able to install it on my Windows XP 2002, Service pack 2, Dell Optiplex Dim2400. The original download was done on my personal desktop and then copied to "admin" desktop. The error message is "You do not have authority to run this program, please log on as administrator." This error appears even in safe mode and even when I am logged on as administrator.

View 10 Replies View Relatedit isn't acting right, but I have been trying to install norton antivirus. She bought the package and has a 2 year subscription, and afterwards we ran live update. It then asks for an activation key, which we have from the email sent to her. When we click OK to tell it that we want to put it in, it does nothing. No matter how long you wait or how many times you click OK, the box just sits there. For this reason, we cant update her virus definitions or get norton to protect her computer. norton is not the only button that will not respond. Somehow the viewpoint toolbar was installed on her computer. When we try to uninstall the viewpoint toolbar or if I go to add/remove programs and try to uninstall it from there, it brings up a box that asks are you sure you want to uninstall viewpoint It does the same as the norton box; it will not respond, even if I click yes and wait

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have run into a snag. After installing Trendmicro I started having problems. After the install it took forever to load, and when it did I get a warning that I have no virus protection. I removed Trend with it's own removal tool and installed AVG Free, I get the same thing, The resident shield and email won't start. I install Vipre and the same thing protection is turned off and won't turn on. I have cleaned the registry of all norton traces, avg and others. I have did a scan with viper while it was installed and found a few items that I cleaned. I'm at my wits end and have never seen this happen before.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor some unknown reason my anti virus will not update as it says there is no connection that it could find to update with, which I find rather suspicious. I could neither access ANY antivirus websites either. ex www.grisoft.com, www.mcafee.com, www.symantec.com.
So I done a clean install formatting my hard drive fully and starting from scratch. And to my fear I still could not access ANY antivirus sites still.
I had only installed AVG Free and Firefox. Even before I connected the net to the computer I put AVG on just to be safe and it still would not update.
I have tried three times to install SP3, (winxp) mob asus M2V-MX, cpu AMD Athlon (tm) 64 x2 dual core processor 4400, each time I get right to the end of the install and it says access denied, I disabled my anti-virus and firewall and tried to install it in safe mode,
but I still get access denied, and each I have to do system restore to my pc to get back to how it was
I got in touch with microsoft and this what they want me to do, but to be honest I don't trust them I don't want to mess my system up, so would you please have a look at what they have sent me.
I want to install trend micro antivirus, but every time i try to install it it says norton 2003 is interupting it. Then i try to uninstall norton 03 and it says "Fatal Eror".
View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed Window XP upgrade and didn't realize that it would disable my Norton antivirus 2004. After installation, Windows informed me that Norton would have to be reinstalled. I tried reinstalling it, but couldn't until the disabled one was uninstalled. When I tried to uninstall it, there were some files that the uninstall program couldn't find, so the uninstall failed. I need to know how I can get the disabled one off my system so that I can reinstall Norton again.

View 12 Replies View RelatedLast week, my home page was hijacked by spyware (I think), it was actually 2 pages in length, the bottom of first page was a note "Removal instructions". I have windows XP SP2.I was able to go into the registry, with the help of another forum, and delete the offending file. Now my home page is white with my general icons, (I used to have the pretty beach picture of windows XP). I can't seem to restore the picture.I have also discovered the same file in "my computer" in system 32. When I press delete the icon disappears for about 3 seconds and then returns. The files name is "Twain Tech" and in system 32 as "Twunk 16" and "Twunk 32"

View 11 Replies View RelatedI've gone through all the microsoft fixes(??) and they haven't worked. Also, when I try to hibernate the machine if any programs are running it will say I don't have enough memory (I have 2GB in a Gateway 506GR, Pentium 4, 3400 Mhz running XP Home Edition). I run NOD32 antivirus.
The machine seems like it is running hard all the time but the CPU usage is usually only around 2 or 3 %. I'm thinking about putting in a larger hard drive and starting over completely. I backup pretty well (although not always often enough).
