Virus on my moms laptop.

Alright. She has some weird program on there called "System Tools 2011" and I don't know how it got there. Right when you boot up, a minute into it, it pops up the app and a wallpapers and blocks you from A LOT of things. You can't back up files to a USB, can't access Control Panel, etc... when I did get into the Control Panel, it won't allow me to uninstall the app because it doesn't show up and there is no way to uninstall it. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Any ideas? Let me know please. Thanks.

Download RKill and run it!!! search Google about RKill. And stop turning it off and on...that will damage your computer to the point of no return
I've removed that virus from two computers already but read above!!!
Nice to see you around little one

Or you can google the name and find the registry keys for said virus and remove them. DOne that at work manny times and saves the time of backup and format

I have had to literally roll back my computer to an earlier date to get rid of the annoying pop ups and remove viruses like that. And yes, I got them from torrents.

As an IT Tech for many years those Viruses are a pain to deal with. I use a paid AV Boot CD called Avast BART or you can try using TRK (Trinity Rescue Kit) Bootable CD AV's work best as they are seperate from the OS. Try TRK just google it and burn it to a disk. Best of luck!

Malwarebytes/Spybot/NOD32 cocktail also does a pretty decent job at getting rid of that crap. Just remember to turn off System Restore or your viruses will be back upon booting your computer.

MalwareBytes anti-malware is great but some viruses are so good that they will block any known anti-virus program from executing.

[GUIDE] How to install Ubuntu to VM and More

This is a guide of easy installing Ubuntu on a second drive (not partitioning) or a pen drive which you can carry around your system.​​
First of all we need VmWare : VMware Workstation 9
Ubuntu CD: Ubuntu Download
First we download VmWare and Ubuntu CD (I used 12.10)…
After successful setup of VmWare create a new VM.
Using New VM Wizard we choose Custom (Advanced).
Hardware Compability --> Vmware 9.0
We select the Ubuntu CD to the Installer Disc Image File.

}
Enter desired username and password
Give VM a name and select the place for config files
(as we will use physical disk to install,
only a small amount of data will written to this folder)
Select the number of cores you will spend for this VM
Select the Memory you will spend for this VM
Select the Network type you desire
Select I/O Controller Type
When in Select Disk screen Select Use a physical disk (for advanced users).
In Vista/7/8 Admin Rights needed for this operation
Select the Second Drive (separate disk or Usb stick) and select Use Entire Disk
ATTENTION: YOU WILL LOOSE ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS PARTITION SO BE CAREFUL WHEN SELECTING. AND DON’T BLAME ME FOR LOOSING YOUR PRECIOUS DATA.
Just hit next
Select Customize Hardware. Remove Floppy and close. Hit Finish
When VM restarts it will repartition your drive removing old one and creating Ubuntu partitions
Wait for Ubuntu Setup to copy system Files
You can enter your system with the username and password you have selected while creating VM.
If no problem occurs you can now browse your favorite forum.
And if you install your Ubuntu to a Pen Drive, you can use it on any computer by selecting your pen drive as Primary Boot Drive from BIOS.
​

Multiboot Selection from Windows
There is a magic tool called EasyBCD which we can take control of the Windows Boot menu easily.
We can easily download a non commercial one from its site: EasyBCD Download
After setup, open the program. Select Add New Entry from left menu. And on the right panel select Linux/BSD.
Select:
Type: GRUB 2
Name: Whatever you want
Drive: Automatically locate and load
Click Add Entry. And all done now we have multi boot menu which can load windows or ubuntu on choice.
If you install Ubuntu on a Pen Drive or a removable drive, dont forget to plugin before starting your computer.

Reserved for something but cant remember now....

This would be better suited in another, more general forum, considering it's not related to Android devices.
I also don't think such an easy thing needs yet another guide (plenty of tutorials all over the Internet), but that's just my opinion. Good effort nevertheless.

Totally agree with GermainZ
Same Opinion
Ask Moderators to move it in General Section

[Q] device not recognised / cannot install driver W7 64-bit

I'm having problems with my Galaxy S GT-I9000. First, the history, in case that offers any clues. [I should say, "The history as far as I know it." The phone was given to me from someone's proverbial 'sock drawer'; it could have been there for a reason...]
It was running crap with stock firmware (couldn't delete files or pictures [well, they would delete, but they'd always come back], had a hard time writing files [they would write (sometimes) but then disappear (though not immediately)], tons of 'Force close' messages for apps, couldn't change G-Mail account, etc., etc., etc.). I used Kies to update the firmware to 2.3.6. When this was completed I seem to remember some message about not being able to go back to the firmware I updated from. Unfortunately, I didn't write that message down. I figured the new Samsung firmware would fix things.
However, the problems persisted with the new Samsung / Kies-provided firmware. At that point I decided to try third party firmware, specifically Cyanogen 7.2.0. I followed the instructions at the wiki[dot]cyanogenmod[dot]org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd site (sorry, apparently I'm not able to post external links as a new user). Heimdall put Semaphore's CWM on just fine, and I can still boot into it no problem. I then tried to flash the ROM from the internal SD card (though it took a few tries to copy it there successfully [see write problems referred to above]). It didn't work... It got to Andy on the blue skateboard, but then just looped. And looped and looped and looped... I then tried install the ROM from an external SD card. This seemed to get farther (Andy hung around longer on the first boot after flashing than previously), but it still ended up looping.
I tried the Troubleshooting instructions in the cyanogenmod site referred to above (basically, a different Recovery version). The new Recovery installed fine, but Cyanogen did not... Same boot loop.
I'd like to try to use ADB to push the ROM back to the internal SD card, but now my computer doesn't install the drivers for Galaxy S when I plug it into USB. I have tried to re-install "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe" (v. 1.5.27.0), but it still doesn't get the right driver (Win 7-64). "Galaxy S" shows up in Device Manager, under "Other Devices", when I plug it in, but with a yellow triangle and no valid driver.
I've read a bit about internal memory issues with the Galaxy S. Am I banging my head against the wall with this phone? Does it sound like the internal memory is hooped? Is there any fix if it is? It seems to me that, following the instructions, a flash should work. Since it isn't, I'm beginning to think that it's not able to write/read what it needs to to/from internal memory...
If any of that twigs your memory for a suggestion as to how to proceed, please let me know. I've tried a lot, but probably not everything... Thanks for listening.

For first issue download win 7 drivers from My Android Collections, also for fixing USB problems follow this as for your basic problem, what you seem to indicate is a corrupted Internal SD card, to solve that you need to use only the External SD card by this method

[Q] /datadata partition problem on SlimKat

I have been having problem with the SlimKat with the /datadata partition being full. i dont have many applications (i think) and i just reflashed the latest stable build a week back with full factory reset and system format. And now i have the /datadata partition full and problems when some applications fill up the cache even a little.
i tried search for solutions on google and on here, but they seem to be outdated for (mostly for CM7/CM9) and not for KK.
I only have about 50 apps installed mostly small applications like greenify, multiling keyboard es file explorer and airdroid. And i move applications to SD card when i can.
The largest application are:
Taomix 39 Mb
OfficeSuite 37 Mb
Line 27 Mb
Perfectly Clear 24 Mb
Google Music 23 Mb
And i constantly use Clean Master to clean caches and junk files.
i'm not really proficient in linux commands so correct me if i'm wrong.
The df command on terminal shows only a few kb of space remaining.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But while doing
du -m /datadata | sort -nr | head -n 20
it shows that it only has 141 Mb, so i'm guessing it only examines folders
And directory analyze on ES Explorer shows it has 265 Mb
So i'm not sure what to make of this. I'm assuming that the du -m command and the ES file explorer are showing different results because they are analyzing different things.
My question is, Is there a way to find what's the cause of this and is there a way to clean up files without messing everything.
Or is there a way to increase the size of /datadata partition and/or relink it to somewhere else.
I've found that there are scripts to do this but they seem to be outdated.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Is it only me that's got this problem??
Anyone??

I have Mackay ROM 4.9.0 installed and a couple of times per day I get FC and an unusable phone due to the same datadata problem. Restart does not work and the only thing I can do is uninstall an application to make more space in the datadata folder (which is 422mb).
I kid you not when I say that I have uninstalled PLENTY of applications and at times have had upwards of 30mb free, but then a few hrs later the blasted folder is full again and I have not done anything! I have tried to see what apps r taking the p*ss but accessing the system is super slow and unusable on the phone and the time I did try, it wouldn't let me as there was like 84kb free in the datadata. When this happens, I am not able to send SMS, answer calls or do anything.
I have just seen that Mackay has a 4.9.3 out only 2 days ago so I am going to try that and see if it makes a difference. AFAIK, this problem only started recently (probably due to the not officially released 4.9.0) so fingers crossed it will sort it out. Otherwise, I will just have to do a hard reset and start from scratch....This little (NOT!) problem has seriously made me decide to buy another phone but I am still undecided which one! All the damn new ones are like 5.5" and the smaller HTC M8 is metal so looks cool but if u drop it it will DENT!...nobody mentions that just moans incessantly about the un-premium feel and look of the plastic ones - at least they are hardy and it's cheaper to replace the casing! Stupid people!

there's a code that resets the data partition to factory state, the code is *#*#7780#*#* but use it only if you can't find any other solution. Use this at your own risk and mske a nandroid backup first before you try it.

if I wanted to reset the partition I could do it many ways. The problem here is the datadata partition is filling up with something that cannot be deleted even when formatted through CWM. It seems like a problem with linux partitions where deleted files arent released by processes. But I cant seen to find how to delete them you free up space.
I found the following command online and using it on terminal gives me some null and roots listings.
lsof L1 | grep deleted
This problem is fixed by flashing stock gingerbread but the problem seems to come back again. So may be its a internal memory card issue or not. i'm not sure. Other partitions are working fine without problems.
Has anyone else had this
