Kapersky Av Detecting Bunch Of Viruses
Dec 9, 2006
I recently donloaded the trial version of kapersky av since i heard its the best. It detected a bunch of trojans that AVG and CA antivirus never detected. Any ideas wat hese are or where they could have come from? Is this the system restore directory? Are these maybe older viruses still stuck in older system restore folders?? Please help, im a pretty careful web surfer and always have AVG active protection running so i dont understand how thse viruese got through?

for some reason i was under the impression that my work computer had virus protection. well... nope. i had to reload the o/s (windows 2000 pro) after the computer crashed but fortunately i lost none of my data, mostly because i keep it on a thumb drive so i can work on it at home. i now have norton AV on it and got rid of more than 14 viruses or threats, and now i am wondering if anything else was left that wasn't detected. oh, and the computer is a dell optiplex gx150 workstation.

My XP SP2 is not detecting any new printer attached. Both parallel and USB ports are not being detected. When I connect the printer and reboot, its like nothing at all has happened. The PC sits there finished booting, calm and quiet. They were being detected and installed some time ago. I suspect it might be a window corruption.. or some registry problem. Is there any way to refresh the windows registery so that it will start picking up printers again? Other devices like memory stick, external hard disk etc. are being picked up and working fine with USB

I have had this problem and no one seems to know the answer. I reinstalled windows (before my headset was transmiting my voice perfectly) and when I tested my Mic, it didn't work! I could hear through it but my voice just wouldn't go through. I checked out the recorder on Windows, no sound. I did the check in the audio controls in the control panel, it didnt detect my voice either!I don't know what to do, I even bought a new headset and it still doesnt work, can anyone help me out? I even tried to do detect hardware (even though it should be plug and play, right?) but it wasn't found, help?

I have a problem installing Windows XP on Dell Precision Workstation 610, XP can't detect the hard drive attached to the Adaptec AIC 7890 SCSI controller. I've already tried loading a driver via floppy disk but still no glory.

I am running XP on a dell D610 laptop (new) When I access the internet by send/recieve in outlook or through explorer. Its taking up to five minutes to access pages or email. I am already connected !! I noticed that as soon as I execute send/recieve the CPU shoots up to 100% and stays there. When the CPU drops it connects. After the initial tedium things work OK until I log off or restart the laptop. I am currently in a remote location and have to use dial up. However the office PC seems to connect without these symptons.

So I was bored today and began creating a old Pentium 4 System out of old PC parts around the house.Now, I have assembled everything and have tested all the parts and all are working fine, However when I go to install Windows XP on the machine it will not detect the Hard Drive (On the Partition Screen). Now I thought it may be a hard drive problem so I connected the hard drive up to my current PC and ran the XP Installation fine.However, Now when I try to boot the XP I installed on the hard drive off of my other system it will get to the splash screen and restart, so I turned off automatic restart on system failure and I get the 0x0000007B Stop error.
So I retried the XP installation on the system again, got to the Partition and Hard Drive selection screen and still no Hard Drive to be seen, I plugged in a USB and it detected it fine.I have tried booting in safe mode & every option under F8, However it just restarts on the XP splash screen, And as I said the hard drive seems fine as it comes up in bios and my main PC ran it fine, So I'm beginning to think that i'm in need of my motherboards SATA Drivers or something.

i have a computer that's being hounded by spyware. everyonce in a while on bootup a folder called ISTsvc will popup. i've run AdAware, Spybot, Spyware blaster, Shredder, AboutBuster, CCleaner and FxIstbar. i've run these in safe mode too. they've removed a bunch of bugs, but when i reboot the problem surfaces again.
i have mcafee virus scan and a firewall. So, i'm kind of out of ideas. Also, my little windows update (which i've told to notify me only of updates) says its downloading but it hangs at 0% and it WONT CLOSE. so can someone take a look at this hijack this log and throw me a bone.

How do you remove a hidden "StartUp program", like the one shown below? I need to remove it from my system. WinPatrol doesn't even detect it, so I can't remove that hidden program/file with WinPatrol. Is there a program that is made to detect hidden files like this (see below): I believe the program is actually part of the .NET Framework 2.0 (Service pack 1), which was installed on my computer, yesterday. I want to remove it & all of it's components if one of it's components is the exact same file I'm having trouble finding & removing from my list of StartUp programs. Is there a safe program that can detect & remove .NET Frameworks & other "hard to remove" files?

I had a 40 gig hard drive : then bought myself an 80 gig to accomodate the huge amount of music I had collected: essentially using the second hard drive merely as a storage space: i.e. it had no windows or other interface installed upon it and was run from harddrive number 1 (40gig) due to long overdue need of formating : I reformatted harddrive 1 and following said format I couldnt read hard drive 2 (with all my beloved music) through windows
after much headscratching I remembered that my original windows was fat 32 win xp pro and this new format job was ntfs win xp homeI havent had a chance to test my hard drive on a fat 32 driven pc yet : and i was posting here in the hope that someone could enlighten me on whether it is worth trying another format job with fat 32 and xp pro or whether there is anyway i can convert the 2nd hard drive to ntfs.

my USB Ports on my laptop are very intermittent. I have my mouse/keyboard wireless combo plugged directly into the P4, WinXP system. I get the combo set detecting and undetecting constantly. I have re-installed
the USB drivers, tried different ports, tested other devices. My device manager is perfect. Is it lack of power to the USB ports?

I've recently installed windows xp over again and when I did it doesn't read the full hdd. so now I have 124 of the full 232.I'm on SP 2 right now and I believe I'm fully updated. I've already attempted partition magic and one I think it was called gnome drive. Both want me to purchase the products so I'm trying to find the free way out.

Alright, my in laws are having a problem with their computer and they said that last weekend Windows XP (SP3) asked to reactivate so they did without a hitch. I've never had a computer ask to do that unless I changed some hardware (which they did not) but maybe it's just never happened to me! So last week (a couple of days after the reactivation) they said weird things started happening. For instance if you go to the start menu to active windows, it comes up with a blank screen, the Windows search function comes up with a green screen and the little dog but that's it, IE doesn't load unless you type in an address and I couldn't get any web page to load that uses Active X. I ran the Kaspersky online test with no problems found and I couldn't run the antivirus from Eset because it requires Active X. Windows media player also doesn't load, it just brings up a blank screen. My father in law was able to defrag the computer though. I didn't have much time to really play with it so I'm not 100% sure what else isn't working but I know Firefox, Utorrent and VLC work fine. Has anyone had a similar problem or know where I should start to fix this?

Upon opening my recycle bin before deleting all trash, I discovered a bunch of files with .bak after them. Since I don't know how to open them and see what they are, they look like information I had moved to my filing system to the left of my messages on IE. I have no idea how they got into the recycle bin as I didn't delete most of them. How do I find out what they are and where they are if I should undo delete? If I undelete will they go somewhere I can read them? Using XP

I had to delete a bunch of programs on my dell dimension desktop because it needed memory ( i think) to perform simple tasks such as loading a photo program like kodak. Anyhow, since then, the mouse refuses to work. I can always reboot...till the cows come home; but I'm unable to click on any icon on the desktop because the mouse appears stuck in one postion.

Using Window Blinds, a software to customize your computer. So I was just check how different themes would look, then at the end I put it back to normal, but my desktop is acting really funny, because when I right click on the desktop, then go on Arange Icons by, I click on Auto Arange, all the icons bunch up really close together, so the My Computer Icon covers the My Document, name and so on.

this all started after I was reading a post about someones sound problems that were similar to mine. Someone made a post saying to download a registry entry and run it. I did and then i restared the computer and got a buttload of symptoms. (trying to find the link to the editor)Starts slowly and waits at the welcome screen for awhile.All I see is the desktop backgound, no toolbar or icons.I can get the icons back thru Cntrl-Alt-Dlt, Run new task "explorer.exe"This brings back the icons but not the toolbar and the icons are unmovable.A bunch of internet links dont work and get alot of errors saying i dont have java enabled.

I use Windows 2000 professional edition.It has both service pack 4 and ws2_32 package.I was trying to install iTune.After I restarted after installation, the process stopped at a blue screen saying there is a critical error,or something like that. So I restarted computer and this time used F8 button to make it start at last known good configuration. When Windows started again, iTune finished installation. Then a bunch error messages popped up from various software's. The messages included ws2_32.dll invalid or too old, sockets initiation fail, and TCP/IP not installed. On top of that the internet stopped working. I have tried installing ws2_32 package again, but it didn't work. I am about to try reinstall service pack 4 roll up 1.

Okay, I bought a new mobo and set up a clone pc. ASrock combo mobo (the one with socket 754 and 939). I have everything set up right, POST confirms. Everything is good, POST works fine. I've got a formatted hard drive, no OS on it. I'm trying to install Windows to that OS, but it will not install. It goes to a blank screen after detecting my hardware settings. Wasn't sure if this topic should have gone in OS or hardware, so i put it here. I've tried 2 windows CDs and a Linux DVD on 2 different disc drives, and still nothing works past the "setup is detecting your hardware settings" screen. I have no idea what to do.

On Windows XP, when I click on "Search," I come to a "Windows Search" screen that has "Desktop" and "Web" as choices for a search. I typed in ".pst" and got a bunch of Outlook messages and not where the Outlook .pst folder is. Is there another choice for "Search" that will show me where the searched-for is?
