My pc last night shut the browser down and was saying that my pc was infected with malware and everytime I try to get into a browser it asks me for permissions and then the browser tells me that my pc has been infected and no I don't have a virus protector. 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....
Edit;
Wait a minute......... I smell troll.....
Thanks and mtm sorry my search thing was fc

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.

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way or an app to remotely take over the android phone (a medion P-4013 runing ics 4.0.4)) of my father-in-law.
And i don't mean browsing his files, I want to see and interact with his homescreens like you would do with teamviewer on a pc.
The reason i ask is that my father-in-law is new to android and i can't always understand what he means when he's explaining a "problem" with his phone.
Thanks

I don't like it running either but because it's part of the Android system you can't disable it unless rooted. And then any app which uses it to find content (most music and video players, photo album apps etc) won't work properly, although there are folder browsing apps which don't need it.
You need it... root won't help
to reduce its drain switch off keypad tones & vibrate....
anything that uses media files will start media server that is what it does

That is a bug in android 4.1 firmware. Google it for a media scanning bug in 4.1 , u will find many answers.but only solution is 4.2

For me, I solved the problem largely by using the donate version of Greenify.
I greenified "media storage", "memory" and "storage capability", and this solves the problem. Greenify will allow apps to be frozen when they are not in use, but when they are called via intents, they wake up almost immediately, hence preserving battery without losing any capabilities.
A must have!

Watch doesn't directly connect to the cloud (or your cal in this case), it will report whatever the phone you pair it too is sync with, if you want to change it, you need to change it on your phone

If you have multiples calendar sync to one app (let's say google Cal) I don;t think there is way to select which Cal to display, now if you have multiples Cal App you can use the Android Wear Companion App to mute all other Cal notification and leave only the one you want to see

I'd say that you've been using this phone for a long time (assuming you didn't do a factory reset for a long time) and it's time to back your stuff up and put them on the computer/HDD and do a complete system reinstall using PC Companion/Flashtool and put your things back.
Or at least that's what I would do if I were you.
