I checked the system performance and run many of the programs check for connectivity and operation. Everything appears to be operating normally. :bigthumb:
Which is hugely successful!!!!!

Greatfully thankful :thanks:
 
Good. Guess we're ready for the final steps then :)


THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Let's reset system restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected. Please note you need Administrator Access to do clean the restore points.

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.

UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.



The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.

  • hosts file:
    • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
    • In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
    • We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
    • However, it can slow down certain computers.
    • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
    Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
    If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
    1. [*]Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen) [*]Click run [*]In the dialog box, type services.msc [*]hit enter, then locate dns client [*]Highlight it, then double-click it. [*]On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. [*]Click ok
  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For more info, check this webpage out.
    If you don't have a 3rd party firewall or a router behind NAT then I recommend getting one. I recommend either Online Armor Free or Comodo Firewall Pro (If you choose Comodo: Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo HopSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and install firewall ONLY!). Both providers have support forums that help with configuration related questions.


Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.



Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade :cool:
 
Hi Blade,
I had one quick question before a create a new starting point, I hadn't noticed this until now but I don't have any sound. How can I recover this function...


any thoughts on this

thanks
 
Glad to hear the solution was that simple :D: Any other problems?
 
Hi Blade,
Things are operating very well but am not able to update to service pack 3 due to lack of disc space.... Common problem I have had so I am looking to uninstall an older program that does not uninstall from the add/remove control panel....
and found an uninstall command on "bleepingcomputer.com"
that provided a command line....

I am debating if this is the correct way to for removing
program - imageMixer VCD2 using:

RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\PROFES~1\RunTime\0701\Intel32\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{F8C6BABF-0837-4EA0-AD6C-8E5A392A7538}\setup.exe" -l0x9 UNINSTALL

by pasting the above into the run command location.

Any thoughts...

Thank you again :thanks:
 
Hi,

I haven't usually uninstalled any software that isn't visible in add/remove programs list. So, don't have experience to guide you here, unfortunately. However, if you picked that file path from some example then it won't work. Those guid values (like that folder name between {}) are unique ones.
 
Hi Blade,
I finally was able to install service pack-3... It really takes up a lot of room and swap space...
I believe I have completed all of the update except for IE. I dont use IE and wondered if you recommend I have the updated version ... ?
I was also curious if you recommend using Norton Ghost or another full recovery package ... any suggestions...

thank you very much for the outstanding report and effort.

:thanks: :thanks:

I still recommend that you keep IE up-to-date. Some other programs use its components too.

I was also curious if you recommend using Norton Ghost or another full recovery package ... any suggestions...
Yes, having clean backup handy is recommended. Among mentioned Norton Ghost you may want to check Paragon Drive Backup and Acronis TrueImage.
