Is the computer dead or sick? Express help!

[Ipconfig]

Ipconfig, it is obvious to everyone that you are guided in this matter and sincerely want to help

however, I'm afraid your recommendation is

There are simply recommendations, at least once a week, regardless of what anti-virus software is installed, to run the updated AVZ and CureIT utilities.

for the majority of those present, it makes no sense, because even if someone wanted to use your recommendation, it is not clear how to do it physically? which button to press?

Please explain if you can (I admit that people who communicate for a long time in professional slang often cannot speak differently), what exactly needs to be done to run the utilities (updated)? if possible, step by step, for example, like this:

1. go to the site ...
2. open the bookmark ..
3. choose Download ..
and so on, until step X. - clapping our hands happily - no viruses !!!

and for this everyone will love and praise you because everyone loves to solve problems, not create them

Lisss's, Lyudochka, want to reveal a secret? He can do it! So tell it, click on this button, choose this action! This is how he saw his own topic and decided to talk here in a clever language.

Got it. I'll make a memo. Give time because there is no ready. Well, in the end, in the first hours on the forum, let us talk first.

[Ksyushechka]

Ksyushechka, from a parasite, so sho dust in your eyes ?? I’m just familiar with such utilities and talk, and often not updated !!! you will hear enough of such malware

Ipconfig, wait for the memo! i really need

[Ipconfig]

I propose to open Temka "Comp for Dummies" and in all understandable Russian ...

I think that most of our team will be immensely grateful to you, Ipconfig

He said that I will do, then I will.

Not for the sake of gratitude, but for the sake of me famous people here. Amen.

Well, in the end, in the first hours on the forum, let us talk first.

And in the evenings it is necessary to talk about the good and the pleasant, And not about entih .. abgraits and the like.
There are many places where we are not talking about food and not about computers! For example, one https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=71983.0
And then, we will show you and the Tavern ... if you bring something tasty

(In a whisper - you will remember me again, I will get a frying pan ... I will fry the meat and feed! )

[Lisss's]

Lisss's, unfortunately, it is impossible to paint everything on the buttons and sort it out on the shelves. Too many different software, it's easier to read the documentation for each specific program.
In addition, software updates and changes occur all the time, so that descriptions will become outdated.

As they say, taking this opportunity, I want to ask:
A free antivirus Microsoft Security Essentials was installed on the licensed seven.
On the second computer, which was revived an hour ago, we installed a free AVG antivirus.
Are these programs reliable?

For a start, I'll go over it briefly. I think that you need to look here _ I do not know what will happen for me to place links to third-party resources, but the resource is authoritative and does not need advertising. It can be seen that AB failed from the soft test. On my own I will add that I tested MSE and there were no problems in a week, the fire was turned off, there was XP wines with the latest updates and I did not visit critical sites. There is something to write, but a lot is needed in a personal message, because I am not a supporter of free software, and in turn, I am not ready to pay for commercial software that I use, thanks to the Internet community. Perhaps this is your option.

I do not know what will be after my placement of links to third-party resources

In this form, just fine.

You'd better tell, than the free licensed Comodo in your opinion protects worse than the paid Comodo?

In this form, just fine.

The point is that I don't mind the absolutely free Komodo Firewall, if configured correctly. And they are really a problem for the average user. And as a plus to it from free to put the same Avira. But! If Komodo is set up incorrectly, the sense in defense, alas, disappears. And I would not use Komodovo harvesters.

About antivirus software. Recently, I had to choose between AVAST and AVG antiviruses, since from November 1, my licensed and lifetime Outrost Security Suite Pro7, updated for Windows7, began to bring down the system on my computer. The support service could not help me, I need a knowledgeable programmer, and I am so-so, a home user just ... Thanks to Akronis, the system was restored quickly, in 11 minutes, but the antivirus did not want to take root.
So, first I tested AVG, then AVAST.
I liked AVAST better, the update happens several times a day, in AVG only once a day. AVAST automatically heals, AVG does not.
AVAST can be turned off on demand, AVG cannot. AVAST scans network drives, AVG does not. This is my little experience of testing free antivirus software ..
Although it is enough for a home user, it is better if you also install a free firewall for it, for example COMODO. For me they do not conflict with each other, they work harmoniously.

I have had Microsoft Security Essentials for half a year already, I get along everywhere (on the Internet). I checked it 2 times with the Dr.Web CureIt program. Found nothing. Therefore, I consider it reliable. Although I think that Dr.Web antivirus is the best.

FOR ALL WHO DOESN'T HAVE A VIRUS ON THE COMPUTER:

Dr.Web CureIt program which can be downloaded for free here- 🔗 (click download for free - download and run the program). This program scans the computer (it can take up to 4-5 hours, at this time the computer cannot be used) and tells you that there are no viruses or, if they are, their number. Next, you need to select the items disinfect, delete or quarantine. I advise you to choose a treatment, if it is impossible to cure, then removal.

Do you know what I want to tell you? Yes, you are prepared at the user level and even more, and even deepest respect to you.
The first thing that I would like to correct in your post is the specialization of the one you called the programmer. Unfortunately, in real life, this person is of little use. I mean com. without. Therefore, we do not need a programmer, but a specialist in the field of KB, well, at worst, an anikey.
For the backup you rightly said, for which you will be rewarded with deep respect. Indeed, this is one of the best ways to protect yourself by keeping the docks on google and it is obvious that the copy is not infected (!!!!)
Now, with regards to your work done on testing. It deserves respect, because you spent time, but, unfortunately, does not bring real results. In order to compare two AVs, you need to do some work and have a set of malware to test them. Such techniques exist and have been described for a long time. I already wrote that antimalvar is engaged in software testing and transfers (sells) the results to vendors. At home, honestly, we can't do it. So let Archangel Michael save our HDDs from devilish programs. (Amen)

[Carolina7]

Carolina7, I advise you to check the computer, than the realties are more serious,
AVZ, or MBAM, for example ...

Dr.Web CureIt program which can be downloaded for free here- _

After launching this utility, Komodo beeped: Dangerous object detected

[Chef]

Chef, here I completely agree with him, this utility slows down and hangs up the computer ...

I beg your pardon, but working with kureit for many years and on more than 50 machines I have never seen a hang. And about the brakes, so it's only one .... you need to start in safe mode and do not touch the PC.

After launching this utility, Komodo beeped: Dangerous object detected

there can be no dangerous object there, this is the official site. Rather, it looks like an antivirus conflict. Try to disable your antivirus, if you know how, I have not used this antivirus, I can not help.

Yes I laugh, I understand
I would also be nervous in the place of the Chest if someone made a similar transition of CureIt to enhanced mode

8. Tell (a) Vasya

Clients have their computer junk. The team is purely female, but the client is large - they sent them our computer engineer. He fiddled around, disassembled the system unit, made some wisdom and wisdom, and then brings the local boss a sheet of paper on which some worms are folded and explains - they say, here it is, the reason for the computer failure, they dirtied everything, and that was junk, I cleaned it.
The ladies in reverent silence surround the paper with worms and look, look, look ... Then one of them says:
- So this is a virus ...

There is, of course, humor here. But sometimes you think about the computer science lessons that we had. By that time I had already soldered the ZX Spectrum, and they taught me on Corvettes.I don’t know what is happening in schools now. I know that the Melkomyagkie attacked the teacher for Windows, I know that the Bear is an iPhone. But I know for sure that absolutely unprepared users.

In general, I am against any recommendations about the choice of antivirus software. There are absolutely useless posts here and they are not inspired by professionals.

Here, in the topic, they recommended and explain a little:
1. Free avast - well. In simple terms, this is a shovel with which we dig ourselves a hole for burial.
2. Kill node32 - as a sysadmin I will say that I have a bunch of nodes32 + KWF. Network. The Malvar hasn't seen it for a long time.
3. On the home beech there was a KIS (Kaspersky Intrnet Security) - really missed.
4. On the anti-malware portal, the "most authoritative" in the field of computer security, Casper bought himself a place in the rating long ago (is this a secret?)
5. I have a bunch of OA + HAB, I'm testing it until I'm happy.
6. If you install an honest product, where is the guarantee that the user will not give the go-ahead to launch malware? No 100% guarantee.
7. My advice to you will be simple. No money to buy firewall and anti-virus software - no problem. On the web, you always legalize it. Be aware that free AV software has limited functionality and you are not protected. I am sure that most of you do not update your operating system and have not even looked towards Windows services, which have a real vulnerability. And log in under the Administrator account.
8. It is not a sin. This is from a lack of skills and knowledge.

Let's not turn Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com

as a sysadmin I will say that I have a bunch of nodes32 + KWF. Network. The Malvar hasn't seen it in a while.

I have another, deplorable case Due to the rare update of the bases of nodes32,
caught on the client machine "nasty"
There is no 100% protection against infection from the Internet, and will not be by definition.
The choice of this or that program is a purely religious matter.
Shl you forgot to mention such a product as F-Secure

Wah !!! Well, who turns HP into something else? There was a topic, I unsubscribed to start. Don't be so categorical. In the end, the topic will be of interest to ordinary users. And not everyone knows about it, although this resource cannot really help (smile). I do not deny the possibility of passing the virus software to the client computer, because the missing knowledge will allow you to run any application, even with HIPS installed. I intentionally do not give links to information sources (yet), because Google is not banned.
Shl. I sometimes spend my time researching and testing products. I have the right to say GAV. Or read tests on antimalver. RU
ZZY. I'm not in the business of advertising vendors, but spiritual cooking, and FS is not a product for me. Sorry.

Peace be with you bakers!

Hello. I am a mail virus from burkina faso! due to the terrible poverty of my creator and the low level of technology development in our country, I am not capable of causing any harm to your computer. therefore, please, please erase some important file yourself and then send me by mail to other recipients. grateful in advance for your understanding and cooperation

comrades, help, who can ..

I want to format the C drive in order to remove Windows 7. If someone did this once, tell us how it is done and what pitfalls there might be in the process?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Excuse me, why? Here 🔗 actually you need to boot from live cd windows xp 🔗
which has Paragon Partition Manager or Partition Magic to do formatting or re-partition the HDD

[sazalexter]

o, sazalexterhow wonderful that you responded

I want to demolish 7, and then install it anew. I have a Win7 disk.

everywhere they write, insert the boot, and he will ask whether to format. indicate yes, and that's all. So I wonder if this method leaves some thread where the thread?

What do I think - the boot disk and the disk on which Win7 is recorded are different disks ??

[Lisss's]

Lisss's This option using the 7ki disk is recommended by Melkosoft! If you do this during installation delete partition on C drive and after formatting, nothing will remain, just be careful! The markup feature is hidden and ambiguous! Read the messages that will pop up.
I thought that YOU want to install XP.

[sazalexter]

aha, it is clearing up slowly !!!

sazalexter, let's see if I understand correctly how everything will be

1.insert a disc with Win 7
2.include installation from disk
3.when asked whether to format the disk, I will answer yes
4. in this way, I get a formatted disk with a freshly installed seven?

Yes?

3) during installation, delete the partition on the C drive and then format it.
There is a menu hidden under the spoiler, it seems, "disk settings"


Delete the partition from the beginning, (highlighted), then format
🔗

[sazalexter]

and I still format it in Akronis before installing, sazalexter , am I doing the right thing or is it the same thing?

and yet, which one to put - x86 or x64?

apd: everything, found it! here's a good answer 🔗

Answer # 69 review plizz!
Dap operatives? If more than 3 Gigs then x64 i.e. 64 bit

not, current RAM 2

the answer 69 looked very carefully! just he helped - there was no format button, there was - disk settings, and under it - format !!

I'm on my way, keep your fists for me

[sazalexter]

sazalexter , I remember you wrote somewhere how you can save links from the Favorites folder ??? I'm going to update my browser, I want to be safe!

[sazalexter]

and I still format it in Akronis before installing, sazalexter , am I doing the right thing or is it the same thing?

I don’t use Acronix, there were jambs after it, but maybe they fixed it long ago? I prefer Paragon. Better yet, probably all the same native Windows manager.

[sazalexter]

sazalexter , I remember you wrote somewhere how you can save links from the Favorites folder ??? I'm going to update my browser, I want to be safe!

Which browser?

[Lisss's]

... the truth may have been fixed for a long time?

this is definitely not a question for me. I was shown, I wrote it down and stupidly follow what was written

I prefer Paragon. Better yet, probably all the same native Windows manager.

so ... again new words have something to read and what to learn .... dear mom !!!!! Thank you !!!

Lisss's , let's swim out soon, or our fists will get numb!

like bye everything is mmm

install drivers

[sazalexter]

sazalexter , I remember you wrote somewhere how you can save links from the Favorites folder ??? I'm going to update my browser, I want to be safe!

If Opera File} Import and Export} Export bookmarks to drive D for example, then reverse the process after installation, Import bookmarks from drive D.
In general, when updating, nothing should be lost

[sazalexter]

I'm already with a laptop !!!!! urrryayaya !!!
sazalexter, thank you for your help, for moral and informational support !!!!

[Lisss's]

Lisss's I didn’t know that some ASUS manufacturers put a disk with a laptop, then the recovery goes like clockwork, put the disk, press the button at start and go to drink coffee

I have Lenovo .. they also have a recovery, only it must be created first, as it turned out .. and I already ruined everything when I tried to restore it. and messed it up so that when I tried to restore the factory settings to the factory settings, it said that "there is nothing along this path, leave me alone" I will no longer be such a hooligan ..

Wait, first of all, I will install everything and create a recovery disk, and then I will live quietly for a while

[Lisss's]

Lisss'sWhen everything is installed and it will work normally, create an imaging disk, there are a lot of programs for this.Then, if something happens, you can restore it in 15 minutes, from this image ...

[Pakatic]

here, Pakatic, I just want it. there was a Kaspersky unidentified, right behind it - the image !!

now I have the other next issue on the agenda

how it distributed there, I do not know, because it did not ask me. but it broke all my memory into 3 parts according to some of its own, little understandable, ideas - for 30 + 30 + 240 GB. The most unpleasant thing is that the system disk was assigned the one that is 240 GB. Considering that I will store everything on it, somehow I don’t really like it .. now I’m thinking whether it is possible to redistribute this division somehow by means of Windows, or is it necessary to load Partishin Magic? or what?

because kaspersky it won't let me download this partishin magic ..

[Lisss's]

Lisss's, download Hiren's BootCD, the latter seems to be 13.1, there are a lot of utilities that will be useful to you ...
Burn it to a CD and you can do a lot with your computer by running from this disc. It has a lot of programs for working with hard drives, you can repartition the hard drive without losing data ...
By the way, Partishin Magic is also on this disc ...
