A yann chit tal virus

Just run a scan before opdating the real system. I have moved over to MSE. Can I use Avast and Malwarebytes pro too? That is will they conflict with each other?

MalwareBytes, no problem. Only one antivirus program should be live scanning at a time. Malwarebytes is fine and a good addition.

Every other time I shut the computer down, it tells me to leave it running so it can install updates. Last night it was updates! This takes an hour or more to do. What the heck is going on? And are these updates bringing some viruses along with them?

Thanks Margo. Perhaps try something besides AVG. When i start my chrome or Mozilla or any of them to go browse other pages. In minutes, i get a notification that my Google is stopped working and antivirus has just stopped an attack by uk based website.

I have Norton antivirus, i have recently installed after this problem occurred Microsoft essential security program, i used scan. But still i get this problem that net stops in minutes. Good, practical tips. Parental controls are at least one layer of protection. I think if one simply gets a backup and recovery software, things become more convenient. I use Rollback Rx. If there are prblems that i feel have to do with the programs and software I simply rollback.

If you use incrementals you can actually fairly easily do nightly backups and never lose anything. I also do a lot of my daily work in a Dropbox folder — so I am backed up to the minute on those. Maybe a stupid question but cannot find the answer anywhere. I run Windows XP on my desktop but mostly do all my surfing on my ipad with the wi if that is connected to my desktop.

As long as I just use my ipad, and set up a wireless printer, am I safe when support ends for XP? If Windows XP is connected to a network and used for anything at all, it could be vulnerable. I need detailed steps and complete error messages to have a chance of helping.

My daughter was playing on my laptop and the message came up that there was a virus threat so I asked the AVG to remove it. Now when I open a new page this address comes up on another page — what is happening here, please help. I like Unchecky to prevent the installation of unwanted programs that are — sneakily — downloaded with the program that you wanted to install.

No way would a sensible reader waste time reading half this nonsense. The smart phone for web is way smarter. Only corp bullies would claim such nonsense. How dumb are they? The ONLY problem here if getting big bro and the dumber than dumb out of our way. Most people spend most of their computer time on internet related activities.

Are there ways of keeping someone from logging into their computer? I am having issues and cannot seem to login. How do I get it back? BUT, enough is enough. Sweeeeeeet fix. So quick and easy compared to what I was going through before I went this route. I just let someone claiming to be from the Geek Squad access to my computer. They wanted to sell me security for the PC. They even told me that if I change my passwords, that the hacker can still get them. I feel like such an idiot, I should have known better.

I also uninstalled the software that they installed, looked like a large red diamond, cant remember the name of the app. If you let them access your computer, they could have installed malware capable of doing anything to your computer.

I would run several antimalware scans including Malwarebytes, AdwCleaner and at least a couple of antivirus programs.

Those PUPs can be detected by Malwarebytes most of the time. The free version needs to check the file manually. Mark, As noted above, if you have a recent image created before the malware was installed, you can be back in business in maybe minutes. If you have an image backup, you can be quickly back in business, but if you did anything sensitive like log on to a site with your password, they may have recorded your login information.

Try contacting the system admin. What to do to fix the problem? Okay this question will probably be stupid…i was searching on internet and couldnt find the answer. Since english is not my native language would you mind explaing me what is internet carrier bill?

Is that like all the websites you accessed you ISP has or? No idea. It sounds like the paper bill you would get that tells you how much you pay your ISP every month. But I could be wrong. Good article, Leo. Historically, I used to have automatic updates set for all of my Windows computers. My opinion on that changed around the time of Windows Microsoft decided to push Windows 10 onto its Windows 7 and 8 users without their knowledge or consent. In my opinion it was a flagrant violation of privacy, and a disrespectful way to treat customers.

Microsoft hides upgrades and installation packages for things like Windows 10 and OneDrive inside of innocuously named patches called KBxxxxxxx. The average user has no idea what that patch will do to their system. In my opinion Microsoft has become the virus. Trusting automatic updates is no longer the prudent choice it used to be. Sadly the average user can also not know if a specific update is inconsequential, or absolutely required to maintain security.

Oh, how times have changed. Well, not really. But at least many parents today grew up with computers and at least have a little more common sense. My parents were so spooked, that they unplugged the computer we had no modem at the time, so the entire computer , put it in a box, sealed the box with tape, and placed the whole thing in the attic for a month.

They were under the hilarious impression that computer viruses were actual living viruses that somehow affected computers. Thankfully, by around or so, they had learned significantly more.

Or both. Lately, i have had some serious doubts that I made the correct decision to do so. I would appreciate some feedback if this is a good program for my win10 pc.

Carbonite is a legitimate service. I consider it a great secondary backup in addition to a system image backup. Comments violating those rules will be removed.

I managed to unlock it with a text message sent to my phone, but the account got quickly locked again as soon as I tried to send another email to anyone, not just the initial person. This has been the situation ever since.

I have raised an "account locked investigation form" with Microsoft and have received no response so far. I have never ever spammed anyone - this email is my personal one and I'm not using any automated system to email anyone with it. The smoking gun back then was the fact that my father accidentally marked me as spam in his gmail account.

He claims he has reverted it since, but Exchange servers still seem to consider my account as spam of course I haven't been able to send anything for the last 3 weeks - so not spamming anyone. I have unlocked the account again successfully and it stays so as long as I don't try to send any emails, which is quite hindering. What should I do, who should I contact at Microsoft to fix the problem?

As a paying customer, I don't think this blocking is fair at all and I'm already considering stopping my subscription, since I can't use the service I'm paying for. Having my entire Microsoft ecosystem locked because someone somewhere marked me as spam could be seen as quite ludicrous.
