Trojan:DOS/Sinowal.Q
by Guest Kenny Shoogle- 0 replies
- 154 views
When switching on my pc, MSE almost always detects a threat (Trojan:DOS/Sinowal.Q). I then follow the recommended action and "clean" the threat. The little green ticked box then shows that the computer status is protected. All of this also happens when I disconnect from the internet, so I assume that MSE isn't totally removing this threat and something is still in the pc somewhere that causes the threat to re-emerge at the next boot-up. Do you think that while the green ticked box is displayed that the threat will be inactive. Thanks. Continue reading...

Upgraded from Windows Vista ultimate to Windows 7 professional
by Guest Jerry Ferro- 0 replies
- 52 views
I upgraded my computer from Vista ultimate to Windows 7 professional about two years ago. I had added a new hard drive to my computer at that time and labeled it the C drive. I got a great deal on Windows 7 professional upgrade and thought that I did a clean install on the new CD drive leaving Vista on the old drive which I relabeled drive I. As I said, everything worked great though the computer would show a dual-boot option upon startup. About two months ago I decided to remove Vista because I no longer needed it and could use the hard drive space for other programs. To make a long story short, everything I have tried to do that fails. I chose to utilize Microsoft suppo…

We are getting close, folks...
by Guest STV0726- 0 replies
- 46 views
I theorize that we are getting very close to a final release of Microsoft Security Essentials v4. I feel this way, firstly because they have polished the GUI a bit by refining the language of the Microsoft Active Protection System (MAPS), abbreviated it to save space, and most importantly: they have brought back Default Actions, which exceeded my expectations. I am ecstatic and wish to thank the development team and everyone else on these forums that helped by voicing your opinion. I really did NOT think we would make an impact, but it goes to show you, it is worth protesting and putting your voice out there! Also, I have set all my Default Actions to quarantine. I …

How do I find and remove DNSChanger when MS Essentials and Safety Scanner don't find it?
by Guest CaptMAG- 0 replies
- 54 views
My ISP informed me that I had a DNSChanger virus. The ISP help desk identified that the virus had changed by router's DNS server to "Rogue" servers identified by an FBI website. He helped me reset those, but said the virus that did it is still on my computer. He said that evidence of the virus is slowing down of IE, which is true. (It happened after an ITunes update.) He suggested that MS Security Essentials, which I have been running for a long time, was not good enough, and to try another. I have downloaded, updated, and run Malwarebytes, and it found nothing. I ran MS Safety Scanner, and it found nothing. Don't know what to do next? Continue reading...

Windows Defender Offline Beta
by Guest Duckcreek73- 0 replies
- 52 views
Pop-up tells me to download and run Windows Defender Offline Beta (WDO). I'm using a machine running Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. I downloaded the software on the same machine since I don't have another computer. Tried to boot from CD drive as directed (hit F12 on start up, then select CD as boot option) but it seems to skip over this request and boot as usual. Tried to turn on Data Execute Except for the mpam-fex64.exe program but it wouldn't work. Not sure if I need to download WDO on a different machine to get it to work or if there's a way to get the WDO to boot as is. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Continue reading...

My Father answered an email claiming to be hotmail and demanding information or the account will be closed. Soon emails were sent from his account claiming he had been robbed and asking for help. He contacted hotmail and got back in to his account with a new password. The next day he tried to access his account and was again blocked. Does he have a virus? How can we get back into his account? How can I make sure this doesn't happen again? This account is used for a small business and so we really would like to keep it open. Continue reading...

IE9/IE8 Differences streamed HTML Document
by Guest Don Hurley- 0 replies
- 60 views
I have a customer that is having an issue with the differences between IE9 and IE8. They are streaming a html document to the browser that doesn't have proper tags like html or body or any mime type. In IE8 it prompts them to open or save the file. In IE9 it only prompts them to Save. They want the option to Open it. Does anyone know of any documentation that would define this behavior or know of a work around? Continue reading...
