Possible Virus and Malware

There is a good chance that you have a virus or malware. It does not matter these days what security you have if the door to the web is opened. At the end of this are three links to programs that you should load up and run. The first is MalwareBytes Ant-Malware Tool, another is Avast Anti-Virus 4.8, the third is Threatfire.
Run MalwareBytes first and perform a quick scan, when it finishes, it will ask you to show the results, click on “Show results, all infections will appear in red. Delete everything it finds.
Run Avast and install it, when it asks, go ahead and schedule a pre-boot scan of your entire system. This should get rid of most problems….Now, if you have Norton Anti-Virus, internet security or any of the others, they also be causing some of your problems. They will have to be removed and the only way to properly do that is go to the Norton site and download their Norton removal tool. Run this before installing any other kind of ant-virus. The Avast 4.8 is free to use, just register it once a year, that is all…it will update itself 2-4 times a day to keep its virus definitions constantly updated, you do not have to do anything, it is completely automated and has 7 real time scanners that run all the time.

When your boot time scan is over and you have either deleted or moved the infection to the chest as Avast recommends, now run Threatfire…it will ask you to let it update as will Malwarebytes, do so. Threatfire monitors every web page on the world wide web and lets you know if your tap dancing where you shouldn’t, it will throw a flag up and say abort connection…do so to save yourself from a bad situation. The links are below.

all you need to do is uninstall it from add/remove programs.
If you need any other help let me know.

Possible Virus and Malware

Programs that you should load up and run. The first is MalwareBytes Ant-Malware Tool, another is Avast Anti-Virus 4.8, the third is Threatfire. Install these three and let them perform scans.

Run MalwareBytes first and perform a quick scan, when it finishes, it will ask you to post the results, when it does delete everything it finds.
Run Avast and install it, when it asks, go ahead and schedule a pre-boot scan of your entire system. This should get rid of most problems….The third program is Threatfire and it scans every web page on the world wide web. Now, you will have to get rid of Norton because that too may be the root of some of these problems just because of the name. You can get the Norton Removal Tool at the Norton support site. Below are the links to the referenced programs. Good Luck…..

Good Luck…..

In start mode, go to the control panel and make another user and see if that user will load normal. If it can, then you may have a virus of malware and I will include more info below for that.

you have virus run an antivirus program you can get spybot search and dectroy but you will have to down load on another computer and put on a cd or thumb drive to trans fer to your computer some of these viruses are nasty you might have to fornat and reload windows to cure

go to your start baton and cleck.then go up your satings than go control panel and sleact add/remove program then open it and chose your problem ante vires of your pc then press remove option and sec instrection if your ante virus remove properly then restert your pc.

Firts of all, your D: drive is usually your CD: Drive. typically the Hard drive is the C: drive.

Sooooooo.... Thats is kind of self explanitory. Save to your Hard Drive not your CD drive.

If your trying to Burn a CD then your trying to fit to much data on one disk. CD's hold about 700MB or 80min of music.

If it keeps filling up with random files and thing, then you may have a virus thats replicating itself, run your virus scan. back up your files to an external drive or burn to a disk if possible and re-install windows if the virus cant be removed by your Ant-virus.
