Eliminating 'VIRUS ALERT' Message Connected To Clock?
Jan 2, 2010
For some unknow reason the clock time display in the lower right hand corner of the screen has 'VIRUS ALERT!' connected to the time. How do I get rid of it. I have run several different virus screening programs (Bit Defender, Norton System Works) and all say that I have no viruses contaminating my computer?
This is the alert: (more or less)Exception...Component Manager::Create Instance returned failure code:" nsresult 0x805700015 (NS_ERROR_XPC_CI_RETURNED FAILURE)" location: jsframe::chrome://searchshield/content/overlay.js::InitSDK::line352" data:no The only thing I have done lately is to remove a program I found in my list of programs which was something like Microsoft Visual C++. I rebooted after I removed it.
I am using the windows XP OS and each time some alert messages appear there is a sound.I have set my speakers setting to "no sound" mode. Still the sound appears.
I'm running into a High Risk virus alert with Trojan.Vundo The object name is C:WINDOWSsystem32mljgd.dll --i've tried deleting it in safe mode through regedit but it always comes back up after i refresh.
Previous Attempts at booting this system have failed at checkpoint [EMem]. For help resolving this problem, please note this checkpoint and contact Dell Tech Support.Is there a way to resolve this without having to wait forever on the phone with Dells tech support?
I am a new user of xp, I m gatting a message that there are registry errors and i should fix these, it also tells that message is from system to alert. I think it is fake and should i ignore it and how can i stop message alert appear again and again.
For some reason zonealarm gives me the following pop-up every time I boot up my computer : ZoneAlarm Security Alert/Server Program/ Generic Host Process for Win 32 Services is trying to act as a server. Identification: None Application: svchost.exe Source IP: 0.0.0.0:Port 135 I click : "remember this setting" [or I used to] and it does NOT remember - it comes up every time.I've tried rooting around in Zonealarm to figure out how to turn this off - no luck. Any ideas folks????
As I was waiting for Firefox to load, I closed another program, and an alert window appeared saying something like A SOCKET CONNECTION HAS BEEN CLOSED. I've never seen a message like this. What does it mean?
I recently started getting an icon that flashes in my system tray warning me about adware and spyware activity going on in my system. I emmediately purchased NORTON INTERNET SECURITY to help solve the problem. After installing and scanning the whole system and removing whatever threats norton thought there was, the icon still remains. It still flashes in my system tray.
I have currently WinXP running on my pc and my event manager is getting constantly full up of DCOM messages which I am scratching my head over! The message I am getting is:DCOM is unable to communicate with computer ANNE-MARIE using any of the configured protocols. I am getting 15 of these every minute ANNE-MARIE is a notebook of someone who worked here shortly and used my companies wireless connection. It is driving me nuts and I would be very grateful if someone could assist me with this.
I have G speedbooster router and setup MAC address and WPA with password. My laptop can access fine. I have emachines t2882 with xp and USB wireless g speedbooster adapter. I can access internet when plugging in computer lan to lan on router. When using wireless usb, I key in code and says I am connected and green lights show, but when pulling up explorer, it says no connected? Device manager shows device is working properly.I tried setting up automatically assign IP's on the computer and got same result, and put in specific IP I have assigned from the router to this computer with same results as well.Again, looks like I am connected, but explorer does not seem to recognize I am connected.
my computer attack viruses last weeks.so i got system alert message. since i deleted that viruses.But system alert message didn't go.Please tell any for how delete or cancel that system alert message.
I uses a laptop as a workstation. i uses it to get online from here at the school and at home. Recently, i can surf fine from work but when gets home when i plugs into network and gets all the signs of connectivity but when using the internet explorer, i only gets the "Work Offline" option and is unable to use the internet. I have a wireless connection set up as well as the regular ethernet connection. I usually only uses the ethernet port and rarely uses the wireless connection but both are running simultaneously.

On my PC I can boot to an upgraded XP (which was 2000 and is on c:winnt) and a new installation of XP (on c:windows). I'm having trouble with the XP installation (that was upgraded from 2000) and I want to delete it. Do I only need to delete the c:winnt directory and the entry from the boot manager?
I don't want to refotmat the drive because I have lots of personal stuff scattered everywhere and I don't want to do a backup.The new XP installation is working great, and I want to keep it. And I want to erase the old installation since it was Windows 2000 which I upgraded to XP.
Got a problem here, how do I adjust what programs I want to start when I boot my computer.I find myself disabling at least 8 programs before I start my normal CPU functions, because they eat away at my memory.
Apparently I've picked up Exploit Cyber-search.biz through a security hole of some sort. I found this out after running the Bazooka scanner on my machine. It seems to have hijacked my browser(IE6) also because I had to do a System Restore back one week to be able to get to here. I run Avast version 4.7 Home Edition as my virus protection, and I use the Comodo Firewall software version 2.3.5.62 both of which are fully updated and running fine.My browser operates fine at this moment after doing the System Restore but I'm eager to rid myself of whatever I picked up here.
I use firefox and down at bottom of screen just above taskbar there is another bar and when you put a url in the address bar up on top well in this bar above the task bar it says searching for and while it says this it shows that other urls are being searched at the same time. Way to the right of this is the little box with the green marks that show how fast it is loading. Well it takes forever to load a web page. For example the last time i just searched for a web page these came up---looking up wrapper. ign.com, looking up atax.ign.com, looking up ads.ign. com. I put one of these into google and there is something about squid analysis report generator which apparently tells the whole world where i go on the web.
Each time i start up my Windows 2000 proffesional pc, I get an error message "kernel32.dll" just in a grey box and no options or anything. I had a problem withmy pc a while ago, had it wiped, and the other day i went on, it came up, i wasnt sure what it was so i just closed it :s, then i did my weekly virus scan, however mcafee doesnt work, also the internet is unbelieveably slow and often just says this page is unavailable. Msn messenger still works fine though?
I keep getting this Warning message every time I try to open a folder. Attention, some dangerous viruses detected in your system. Microsoft Windows XP Files corrupted. This may lead to the destruction of important files in C: WINDOWS. Download protection software now! Click OK to download the antispyware. (Recommended). I click No and it directs me to a site that tries to get me to download the software. If I let the page run, the computer becomes disfuctional, and I have to use task manager to close programs and get the computer to respond. I've tried using system restore, adaware SE professional, and Symantec Antivirus to get rid of whatever this may be. Nothing is working. I'm not sure what to do at this point

I'm running Windows XP - Media Center Edition on Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2GHz, 1.5G RAM.This morning, Norton 360 detected and blocked several intrusion attempts, but stated that everything was secure.Shortly thereafter, every program that attempted to open would generate the following pop-up message, "[program name] UNABLE TO LOCATE COMPONENT - The application has failed to start because msefrms.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."I click OK to acknowledge this message, only to have it reappear. After several "OK clicks", however, the program usually opens and functions properly.
I restarted my PC to get into safe mode to run a virus scan, but the message appears even before Windows begins (even on winlogon, services, lsass, etc.). Again, a few clicks of OK gets me past the message and into Windows.I haven't been able to find ANY reference to msefrms.dll on the web.
I'm having a problem here...I have zonealarm suite and norton antivirus on my com. But recently, I have switched my antivirus to kaspersky, the problem is, every time I start the com, zonealarm will warn me and ask me to enable zonealarm antivrus, which I think it should not be case since I have kaspersky load on every startup. I even check the 'Don't show this message....' in the warning message, but it didn't help. Hence, could somebody please enlighten me on how to switch off the warning?
Another problem I'm having is, I see something in msconfig, under startup, the item is %systemroot%system32dumprep 0 -k, I tried to search in google what this is but to no avail, search results shown only dumprep 0 -u, and not dumprep 0 -k. Is this two thing the same? Would disable it do me any harm? And what does it do to my com if I enable it?
I have just got Red Alert Comand & Conquer on my Windows XP and whenever I try to play Red Alert I get this message; The procedure entry point SMapLS_IP_EBP12 could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
I have started to get the attached alert on an occasional basis on my laptop.If I click OK it goes away and does not seem to have any effect. Does anyone know what this means ? I run Win XP/2 home1.2 GB mem 60 GB.
Often, when attempting to download a particular file, I will get the Security Alert message: "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded." For example, this message appears when attempting to download IE 8 and regardless of the security settings, firewall on or off, etc.
