I downloaded Adware Doctor, AVG Antivirus and Rune up utilities 2006 and I found 630 infections in terms of Adware and five Trojan horse namely Trojan downloader. generic.hgm, and Trojan downloader. generic.00b.

Hi! All,

When I tried to burn the Rescue Disk I got an error message.

I am not sure about how to burn a Rescue Disk correctly?

Here is a picture to better describe my problem.


Cannot verify that the Rescue Disk has been correctly burned. If you have burned the Rescue Disk yet, please do so, and then click Next. If you attempted to verify a TrueCrypt Rescue Disk created before you started this wizard, please note that such Rescue Disk cannot be used, because it was created for a different master key. You need to burn the newly generated Rescue Disk.

Please give me some advice.

Hi!

I am back home from a group study, I borrowed a couple of flash drives from my friend to copy some files to my computer. When I copied the files, my Avira Antivirus keeps on warning me of some virus, but it cannot remove the virus, so I decided to update the virus definition, an error message appeared while starting the process of an update.

I pasted below the screen shot of the error.

Avira AntiVir Personal – Free Antivirus
Update of the VDF update kit failed.

As I looked on the error it seemed that Avira malfunctioned, since it cannot update its definition.

Great day!

I was downloading some file from the internet, after which a power interruption occurred and that is why my computer was not properly shut down. When the power was restored, I booted my computer, right after windows started, an error message appeared on my screen. Please see the screen shot below.

Hi! Masters,

I was playing with my newly installed games, and I observed that my computer is not running on its usual speed.

I suspected for some virus infection in my computer since the game installer I used is just from the internet downloads.

I decided to do some virus scan of my computer using Avira Antivirus, and when the scan finished, it found a lot of viruses and an error message appeared on my screen.

I pasted below.

End Program – Avira Premium Security Suite – Sys.
This program is  not responding
