Virus & Spyware

Virus & Spyware

My Windows 7 has gone to hell due to virus,spyware and Malware activity. My hard disk has almost crashed. So, I took an Antivirus to kill all of the harmful programs. This is Avira Antivirus premium one year. 

After I installed it, I can see it is fun.The system is sending me two pesky messages.

Error:

Avira AntiVir Personal – Free Antivirus

CCPLG.XML:

Unable to find file (C:Program FilesAviraAntiVir Desktopccplg.xml)

Messenger Plus! – Installation Altered

Messenger Plus! has not been installed properly on this system.

How to fix the multiple problems of computer?

About five days back I got the "Recycler" virus in my computer and did not know how to get rid of it. I tried to download several Antivirus software to remove but no luck.
 
I thought we can give it some time and it will fix automatically, but when I tried again, my system displayed a message "Boot problem insert disk and restart" or something similar. I don't know what it means so I just kept restarting the system and it finally just turned on. What is the possible solution for my computer?

VLC media player version 8.0 has done me some real damage. All my music files are corrupted and if you click any icon on the desktop it turns to a VLC media player window. I cannot open my computer, control panel or any other icon on the desktop. This means than I can’t uninstall the VLC application. When I succeed to access my music files and try to run any of them, they all crushed.

I tried to install version 8.4 and more problems occurred. Windows media player gave this type of error "Windows media player cannot access this file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored” .

I recently had some spyware installed on my computer which I removed using the Malwarebytes, however after this it had been removed and I lost connection to the internet.

I am connected to the wireless signal fine with no problem but there is only local access. I have checked the firewall settings and they are ok and the internet is working fine on other computers.

I am running Windows Vista operating system in my PC. I have run Malware bytes again in safe mode and there were two files  still found. I have removed these a couple of times but they still appear on the scan. So I don't know if these are causing the problems that occur.

Just the other day my PC HP model G60 was in a good working condition, pretty fast and I shut it down as usual but when I tried to reboot the following error message was displayed at the log-in screen, "Svchost.exe – Application Error. The instruction at "0x77f51c96" referenced memory at "0x0000010". The memory could not be "written". There was an option to click Ok.

Hi,

I am using a laptop at home and my Antivirus is Norton 2009. This Antivirus needs to update through the internet. My friend inserted her flash drive for copying a file from my computer. A virus detected on my computer. I scanned the flash drive as well as the computer, but the virus is still there! It's the Trojan virus which was detected on my computer. I fully scanned the computer but still the virus is in there. How can the virus be removed from the computer? Apart from formatting the computer, what else can we do to remove the virus? Is there any other software that can fully remove the virus? Answer please. Thanks.

I bought Lenovo Idea Pad before some months and it’s under warranty. I was playing a game named "GTA Vice City” on my laptop. After that whenever I try to use my key Shift + A it's typing a letter in small instead of capital A.

Problem solves automatically when I press ctrl key on my keyboard but again this starts at any time.

I already tried checking if my laptop keys are lost and everything seems Ok but problem still persists. Is there anyway I can use shift key to type capital letters?

Is it the problem of some language settings or something like that? Number lock key on my keypad is also not working as whenever I'm trying to use 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0 key on number pad its showing me different symbols.

My brother who is a computer engineer blocked my Facebook and chat room site which I use to access from my laptop.

I tried searching for the host file in Windows directory, but its blank. There is no file in the directory. Last time I got access by replacing that file with another same file, which my friend sent me. This time there's no such file to replace. I also tried checking in Internet explorer options but no site is blocked there. I am unable to access Facebook and not able to login to my Facebook account.

Is there any trick by which I could access those blocked sites. I am using internet explorer on windows vista.

Connection: LAN which is connected to my brothers desktop also.

There were many browser hijackers that try to break into my computer, but this time there is this fake desktop background that suddenly appears. I really don’t know what sites I went to, but this certainly looks like a very dangerous virus or Malware.

This background reads “WARNING! YOUR’RE IN DANGER! YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED WITH SPYWARE!”

At that time, I tried to clean and scan my hard drives using my current antivirus program, but it says that my current antivirus program has failed and forces me to purchase their malware.

I tried rebooting my computer but the background is still there and obviously the virus or malware is still present in my computer.
