Why can't I delete viruses in my computer even after I press delete?

Most viruses are embedded in various files (such as images and programs) and when you open those files, the virus, which is actually a program embedded within the file is executed and create files on your computer which cause various problems (the problems are very specific to what type of virus you get). So deleting the file in which the virus was embedded will not remove the virus. The files created by the virus are often created in "secure" locations on your hard-drive, locations which are responsible for maintaining your operating system (Windows) and can not be deleted by hand (unless you have admin rights for your user). Here is where Anti Virus software comes in. This type of software have the ability to remove viruses from these locations, and if they cant, they "quarantine" them (shield them, making them unable to do harm).

What will happen in the future with Internet business regarding computer viruses?

There will be more and more sophisticated attempts at breaching computer security as we move into the future. Therefore, all online and offline businesses need to take measures to protect themselves against computer viruses, worms, hackers, etc. This might include installation of virus protection software, a firewall, periodic vulnerability assessments, etc. Businesses should also have a disaster recovery plan in place, just in case safeguards fail in one way or another. I would highly recommend that you call a local computer consultant for professional advice in this area.

How do you reboot in safe mode when you have Downloader Dyfica AJ?

To boot in safe mode, restart your computer, as soon as it starts to power back on, start pressing the F8 key and don't stop until you get to a screen that will list a set of choices. Choose safe mode and then continue with the removal process.

Made some progress of sortsagainst the Dyfica.AJ.Dyfica.AJ is sophisticated, is in many places, and transmits secure info and online ordering secure info if you place an online order without knowing it is on your computer.

Only AVG antivirus actually saw, even detected Dyfica.AJ, even though it could not remove it by healing. I first had to disable System Restore (in Control Panel)then had to delete all old System Restore backup files (a separate set of steps)

Dyfica.AJ wouldn't let me reboot into Safe mode using F8. It crashed my computer every time I tried to even so much as click on it inside of %temp% (from an open IE window)

IMPORTANT: before the delete in safe mode I had to do an uninstall of a program it had installed called Bridge from inside of Control Panel > Add Remove Programs this was another part of the optimizer.exe program which is all part of Dyfica.AJthe Bridge program must be removed in order to free up the files inside the temp files that need to be deleted.

Finally I found another way into safe mode. Getting into safe mode: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406using Start > Run > msconfig > System Config Utility .>

Use Safe Mode checked then and only then while in safe mode could I delete this file called optimizer.exe. This was the file name containing the Trojan bridge called Dyfica.AJ.

Dyfica.AJ has an active mode, as the file optimize.exeit also has a hidden DORMANT or HYBERNATION MODE, as in:also deleted other places Dyfica was hiding, was in GIF images and file namescommon path was: C:\Documents and Settings\(my user name)\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.E5\

Further infected files and folders (inside Content.IE5) were:P2H15Y85\SE751D~1.HTMP2H15Y85\CIRCUI~1.GIF57QH190L\CLEAR^~1.GIF57QH190L\BLUE T~1.GIF57QH190L\B01596~1.JPE57QH190L\BD0C 1~1.GIF8P2NW9AJ\SHOP M~.GIF8P2NW9AJ\S L 1 ~1.GIF8P2NW9AJ\SE7B1A~1.HTM8P2NW9AJ\ICON B~1.GIF

AVG included these files in the log of files which it could not open or examine.

AVG indicated there was infection within the Temporary Internet Files folder. These were the file names there which it could not open while in safe mode, open IE, then enter directory one at a time then enter for eachtill you get to these files, delete them, then empty recyle bin and protected filesthen after removed the optimizer.exe in safe mode, went back and scanned again with AVG, and also scanned with Adware using custom configuration for deep scan.

I also had Dyfica.AJ identified by AVG 6. It quarantined it to virus vault. From there I merely deleted. I have done scans since which show nothing.

I also deleted it, but it keeps coming back....what's more, it varies its timing between appearances (or should I say detection). For example, after the first 'erasure," I did twelve AVG scans that all showed clear, then, the virus was re-detected. This pattern of detection, deletion, re-detection has continued for several weeks now.

I know it's still in there and don't know how to get rid of it, so it seems that I'm just a sitting duck, waiting for the other shoe to fall.

I have only been able to get around this program with a system restore using the system restore disk, Period. I have dealt with optimizer.exe, ist.exe, sidefind, dyfica, blah blah. System restore is the only way that we have found. We have tried every major for-pay and free program. None have sucessfully removed the programs on an ongoing basis. They reappear based on dormancy protocols b uilt into the program. You can thank Avenue Media N.V. for the problem. They suck and so do these self-installing programs. There is no such thing as free software. You will pay.Ted in Vero Beach, FL

How do you remove java shinwow or the bytecode virus from your computer?

Ok, this worked for me ( win XP ) and I had quite a few different shinwow viruses in my pc. First turn off system restore - (right click my computer - left click properties, then click system restore tab and place a tick next to "turn off system restore on all drives" ,click apply and okay. Now go to control panel, click on java icon and delete all temporary internet files and then ok. Now, in control panel go to "add or remove programs" and sroll down to any java updates you may have. Uninstal all of them. Now scan your system with your antivirus and also adaware (free). Adaware somehow helped my antivus detect the virus. After scanning go to www.java.com and download the latest java update for windows (free). That should do it. Remember to now go back and turn system restore back on. Good luck. Dezza.

Do you think Playing computer games damages children or helps them develop?

Computer games have shown to increase reflexes in children, and children who were raised with moderate to unlimited access to video games generally have much better hand-eye coordination.

The downside to this is that while these children are playing these video games, be they online with others or not, they are not socializing. While online game communities claim that socialization is taking place, it is generally in the format of elitist attitudes and vicious personal attacks.

The parents judgment is key in this debate as this has been a heated topic in the parenting community for years.

Is it safe to delete gif files?

Some gifs are still some are animated. Many people delete them when they are bored with them. GIFS are an image format like jpeg. They just make them small in size that way. Yes, you can delete them; most of your online pics are jpeg or gif. It's just a picture format.

The only reason not to delete them other than wanting to keep them is if they are used by a program. If the program needs the images, then it will crash or run unpredictably without them. So if you know you added them or if they are not needed, then you can safely delete them. If you remove the wrong ones, you can always reinstall the affected software.

If you only have 4 percent space on c drive and have used disc cleanup and add remove files but can not use defragmenter because need 15 percent what else can be done to free up space?

First of all, you should be able to force the defragger to run even when there's less than 15% free space. It just might not be as efficient.

Second, you can go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs (or Control Panel -> Programs and Features on Vista) and uninstall programs you no longer use. You can also try browsing through your My Documents folder and subfolders for information (pictures, video, old downloads, etc.) that you no longer need and can delete.
