So Is there anyway to fix it without taking it ssomewhere

Baaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha....what did you click on??
Pop-up from "Microsoft" telling you that your PC was infected?
Do not turn your PC off!!!
Go here
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/
look for whatever program is showing to be giving you the warnings (which is a fake virus protection program) and follow their instructions.
Download RKill (Google it) and install it on your PC.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!!! You be freaking out and stuff
If i had to hazard a guess what you are seeing is a common bit of malware that tries to trick you into downloading even more harmful content. You get a message telling you that you are infected and should run a scan using their software..which inevitably entails you entering your credit card info....
As above, Malwarebytes should find it if you can get it on your PC in the first place. My friend had this recently and i removed it manually. I can't remember the name of it now though. Just Google the exact message that pops up and you'll soon see what it is.
For future reference, always be aware of the normal processes that you find running in your task manager. It makes it a lot easier to see when something is running that is new or out of place. Ending that process will usually allow you to regain control of your PC.
Yep, if it's one of the rouge antiviruses, either malwarebytes, or google the name and remove the files, and then the registry entries. I've seen so many clients with that crap, and one of them even told me they have an antivirus, and pointed to something called 'Antivirus 8'. 10 minutes of explaining that its a malware....she tells me to put in her credit card info. -__-
I only have one pc and I can't use the internet on that or down load stuff. Only from my phone so I download the program to my phone then move it to the computer like that? Will that work and yes it was a program called e-something saying it was a virus protection

You have a smartphone right??
You should be able to download a removal tool (www.malwarebytes.org) to your phone and then transfer it to your pc via USB and install it that way......
Either that or grab a flash drive and use a friends PC to get what you need....

In before buy a mac.
MBAM is a good tool, though a compromised machine should never be trusted again.
Learn to computer and you'll be fine.
LUA and DEP are a good start. Whitelist is better than backlist.
Ive had viruses that come in pop up ads from some sites that instantly give u a virus and they were annoying, they would install fake java exe on my computer saying i need an update and fake virus popups exe.
Malaware cleaned most of it, however some of the programs when the popped up i found the process went to it where it was at killed it and deleted it and then i was good

What browser do you use?
IE, Firefox, Chrome, ... ?
Had a friend with the same problem (IE).
Good to have more than 1 browser installed.

Antivirus 8 was the one i was thinking of. Good man! Stop the process, remove the folder from Windows folder iirc and clean up the reg entries.
Malware bytes says 26 infected objects.
Still scanning after it is done do I have to register?

Or google " *name of the malware* manual removal" and you can do everything out of the registry.

Dude! If you're not in the IT business or have enough knowledge of the interwebs (which you clearly haven't - sorry) then you'll need this.
If a pretty girl ask you to "donate" 500 dollars for some nipple action DON'T do it.

I was wondering if anybody has seen or wanted to build an app that would allow you to do system backup, and allow individual folders to be selected, then transfer them to ftp/sftp address on a schedulable time. Maybe even after it was done, send an email/alert that it was successful/failed.
I looked and there was really nothing around like this...
I wish I could program, make a few bucks off it!

My HD is starting to get a bit too full for comfort. Does anyone know of a free utility or way to find out what the largest files and folders are and delete them? I'm looking for something similair to ES File Managers SD Card Analyst. I thought Explorer might work, but it doesn't sort folders by size, only files. Many thanks in advance.

It seems like it might work. If I could figure out how to use it for what I wanted. At this point it just seems to be a slower Windows Explorer.

Do a Google search for treesize free. It takes a while to calculate the size of the folders, but everything will. There's no quick way to do it.

Hello all,
I want to format Windows 7 and install Windows 8. I booted from the USB and went to the page where I can select which drives to format. I have 2 1 TB drives. The C drive which has windows and I want to format it and the D drive which has all my back up photos, music and videos. I deleted the system cache which is 100 mb and I don't know which of the two drives is the one that has windows. Is it in an alphabetic order. C drive is first and then D drive is below it?
Sent from my SM-G900H using XDA Free mobile app
Yup.
The "C drive" contains the Windows operating system.
I know that. But on the installation screen it says Disk 1 and Disk 2. I want to know which of these is Disk C

I believe it should say more than that.
Does it say the amount of storage after selecting the disk or anything like that?

I would unplug your external(?) storage device (drive D) to see if the first one is the C drive.
Personally, I think the C drive should be on top as it could be in the order by drives.

Uh, the Windows install always displays the drive letter. (Even the pirated ones.) And usually even the name of the drive.
Can you still get to the device manager? If so, it has a partition manager which'll list which drive is which.
If not, boot into BIOS. Check which one is set as the boot device, that one's C:/.
Also, you can disconnect an internal harddrive.. Just open the door and pull out the cable... (I always do that on a Windows install to prevent conflicts and potential data loss. (even on my laptop. My Asus grants full hardware access.).)

It is not my computer. The menu is like this.
And when I try to go to BIOS is requires a password and my friend says he doesn't know it.
We can't boot the current windows because we deleted the first small partition.

Make sure you´ve backed up any data you need and delete both partitions. Then click on the unassociated space and select "new". Proceed with the installation.
OH THE SCREEN IS NOT FROM YOUR INSTALLATION? Thought that were you´r partitions -.- Don´t proceed please post a pic of YOUR screen.

No it's not the same. It depends in which sata plug the harddrive is plugged on your motherboard. It's not alphabetical. Just look at the free space and think how much data you've got on your d:/ that's the only way.

Looks like I am out of luck. I've already deleted the small partition which boots up windows so I can't see how much memory each drive has. Thanks anyways

The "system reserved" partition is the backup one. I have a very similar configuration to that. The partition you want to format is the second, the one that says "primary". Also, windows couldn't be installed in a ~300-400mb partition.

I'm sorry you are not understanding it. I of course see that free space. But I don't know which of these disks is C. Because when I started to install windows, I didn't go to Computer to see how much free space Disk C has so I can easily recognize it on the installation screen. And I can't check it because I can't boot windows anymore.

Just curious, is there a way or an app, or a script or something to have the ability to just have screen shots, downloaded pics and what not to save to your external SD card by default? I usually have about 100+ that I have to manually move every time I flash a rom..

Just curious as to why you move them. Are you wiping internal storage when you flash?

No I don't wipe that, but it's my fearful OCD that my phone will just up and die and I will lose my SS's. I really hate using the "cloud". Don't trust that crap that much.
So use two clouds. It is very unlikely they will fail at the same time plus it will automatically synchronize with your pc. Dropbox gives 50 gig for new note users, google drive another couple gigs, same microsoft, Amazon, box, samsung cloud. SD card can fail too.

meh, it's not about the "horse" drinking water. It's is simply about seeing if there was something out there that would allow me to just have my screen shots and downloaded pics go directly to my SD card. It's my choice not to use the cloud. Personal reasons. Hence why I am here asking for some app or something.
Screw the cloud. I'm old Skool too. Now where's mg 5.25 inch floppy.
