Computer Viruses

-250

Viruses weren't so much made as evolved from complex molecules, they are probably the simplest form of life. (in some cases they aren't even classified as alive)

Unless you're referring to computer virii, in which case they were originally written for fun, just do do funny stuff to computers, like pop up messages on the screen on April fools day, for example. Later on criminals and other wrong-doers decided that viruses were the perfect way to disrupt computer users, and in some cases exploit money from people.

Pretty much the same way as on any other bike. Go slow, lean back, push hard on the pedals while giving the handlebar a good yank.

It may not be the best option to do. You need to contact a professional to have them tell you if the infected file is important.

Ok ive had this problem in the past and there is a solution. While you cannot use windows task manager to do this there is an excellent piece of software to allow you to do this. Its called 'enditall' and is free or can be downloaded from me if u contact me. If brings up all system processes and allows you to 'close' or 'kill' all background unnecssary processes.

It is related to your CD rom drive software

No, it is actually a driver monitoring utility for use with Plextor PX-HDTV500U USB TV Receiver. It runs whenever the device is connected. Disabling this .exe it at windows startup or in Task Manager does not disable detection of the device, so it is unclear why it is needed. Perhaps it is required to use the device itself, which receives HDTV signals via an analog antenna or an S-video input on a WinXP or earlier machine. If disabled, it will run again immediately upon connection of the USB device. It is installed when the Plextor PX-HDTV500U ATSC DTV Driver is installed, and is installed along with ArctecMedia Digital TV Player/Scheduler.

The Irish question relates to Britains problem of how to rule Ireland. It was expensive to police and it was believed that a level of Home rule would quiten things down. However Ulster Unionists were opposed to anything they felt would be a stepping stone towards an Irish republic. The obvious answer was partition of the country between north and south but Irish nationalists were vehemently opposed to this. In the end the country was partitioned but instead of the whole 8 counties of Northern Ireland 6 were separated. This was done to ensure a unionist monopoly of power over the northern state. The rest of the country gained dominion status and went on to form a republic.

No it gave me aids

I don't have first-hand knowledge of these but I am very susicpious.1. If they ask for a credit card number decline they can charge for services against your card2. If they ask for a phone number decline they can charge for services against your phone number3. If they are elusive about their answers to your questions decline.4. If you have to download software, it may contain a trojan or keylogger to get your credit card and password information.AH, heck! Decline anyway.

If any of these instructions make you uncomfortable, or you don't know how to change the settings mentioned, stop right here and ask an experienced user to continue for you.

First thing: This is for XP, not Vista. The System Restore Service may be disabled: Click Start--->Run and type: services.msc

Scroll down to "System Restore Service"; it should state: "Started" under 'status', and "Automatic" under 'startup type'.

Second thing: is that you need to ensure you have ample HD space. You should have at least 5GB of available space if you have multiple (physical or virtual) drives. If you have only one HD or partition, you should still have room for defragging functions, restore, etc. So, 5GB it is. If you have that amount of space available, continue to the next phase.

You may have System Restore disabled. To enable it, right-click the "Start" button and left-click on "Explore". Once the Windows Explorer opens, right-click on "My Computer" and left-click on "Properties". Next, left-click the "System Restore" tab.

Uncheck the box that states, "Turn off system restore on all drives". Left-click the "Apply" button on the lower right. Left-click "OK". Reboot.

Does it work now?

If not, take PC to repair shop. Safest bet.

No. If your computer is off it can't run any software. It doesn't really matter if you shut down first or close safari first but some browsers will pop up a message saying the browser didn't close normally last time if you shut down without closing the browser first.

it means to work like a clever trick

the first step in changing ownership and then change permission

changing ownership

right-click any file or folder, select Properties, and go to Security tab. Now click the Advanced button. Next, you need to go to Owner tab and hit the Edit button. Then in the new dialog window choose the new owner and then click OK.

change permission

To give complete permission to yourself, right-click the file or folder and select Properties. Now go to Security tab, and hit the Edit button.Here select your username(account) and check the Full Control checkbox. When done, hit OK. Note that when you will check the Full Control checkbox, all others will be automatically checked too.

IF you double click on your drives and you get a copy.exe error then

here how you solve it(although you could just right click and open or

explore...its a big pain),

in START menu open RUN and type your drive name and autorun.inf

eg:C:\autorun.inf...a notepad document opens, here delete all the contents

of this file, now first save this file on your desktop(its a read only file and cannot be directly saved on to your disks after u make changes).

now copy this file, open one of your drives and try pasting it there, windows gives the file replacement warning...tell it to continue pasting.

Now paste this file in all your other drives.

once you are done restart your PC and you are ready to ROCK.

If a virus persists on a PC even after formatting it is likely that the virus has been inserted into the boot sector of the hard drive - which is not rewritten when you re-format it.

Assuming you are running a Microsoft OS, to fix it, boot using the install CD for the OS and run the first Repair option which will load the Recovery Console from a ramdisk (and doesn't use the hard drive for booting). This requires that your BIOS supports booting from the CD drive. Then run the 'fixboot' command. This is supposed to overwrite the boot sector. You may have to specify the drive letter of which partition to fix.

One thing you MUST do when you have a BSOD, GET THE ERROR MESSAGE Write down the error message and then find a system to use and go to Microsoft's knowledge base and put that exact error in the search string line and it should give you some kind of indication what is happening. You may have to play around with the error string but just put it in on the website and see what solutions come back.

Sometimes after you reboot a message will pop up saying "The system has recovered from a serious error" and a option will let you send data to microsoft". Press "send data" and in a couple minutes a web browser window will pop up telling you the problem.

They either use a rescue disk

or they insert the hard disk into another computer as a secondary drive.
