there are only 2 people that use this computer. I am not sure what is going on. mike some times on his every other Saturday will get on the computer early and again in the evening. other then that it is just me. maybe I am as dum as this must appear. every thing I have mention has really happen. some one the other day said that one site I like witch is facebook and says some of my trouble can becoming from there. the last thing i download had to do with uploading pictures to this site so i could show people my neat looking pets kids pictures. sense this may be the infected file that is in the virus chest. i guess it is best to take away the pictures from these sites will really only facebook because I have not posted any here yet. http://fluffies.org/en/questions-about-this-parrot-chatboard_step-by-step-guide-to-posting-pics-on-the-fluffies-forums-vt627.html this computer is in my site almost all the time. when it is out of my site mike is at work or some where.
i don’t want to make this long because most would not understand it any way. there are a lot of things you can click on above the smiley face’s. i believe I was on the right track in learning how to send that long avast log in and attachment to you but even after clicking additional option and trying to upload it. it was two big it was 4KB and the biggist you can send is2KB. yes sense I came back to doing computer after not doing them for around 4 years I have been dum enough to downloading rogue’s witch maybe be as many as 5 on this computer not knowing they were and causing more trouble. even after i thought the i got all the rogue off of my computer the 1st one in my chest now may have to do with a old rogue program i thought was long gone.
one of the last things I want to say so I don’t brother any one here any more is about that black box that came up and tried and tried to force me into downloading nortin virus scanner. would make you thing someone was trying to redoing nortin so you would not loose it, but maybe if i would have know to use the removal tool sooner so that it would of taken that part of nortin away with it
I do think there is some thing wrong with this fan. but it only goes dead when I am using
the only reason i came back to trying do do computer again was my husband old computer went out on him and he new nothing about setting a new one. my nephew was up here way some time back and my husband talk him in to letting his. my nephew was up here for 2 days again a few days ago. i should have had him look at the computer for me, but it was working great. he did not get on this computer. both him and my sister brought there own.
i know that no one wants to know any reason this or not. I did manage to get it up and ruining on the internet i should have just gave it to him and talk him to take to the back porch where him and his parrot shadow spends time together. but i was starting to have fun putting our animal picture on line and play the two games i have one is called super bounce out.
my opera i cannot even open any more and if i was to stay with trying to do the computer i would have to start off trying to get all my bookmarks back there is still a lot there on places that every one has sent to help me out and all the other nessary things i need to read. I wish mike would learn how to do the things on this computer that i half {axx} know how to do. he would know and do a lot better than I can. if he did any time he have trouble he would come to me. his old computer never did have much trouble and i was able to fix it and turn it back to him.
most of you may be not understanding what i have wrote i will just close with thanking all that help and all that tried to help me. what i don't understands is when i read back most of my post they make sense to me when I reread it, but to most of you they do not.
thanks again Sharon Sham1313
old computers were so much easier then they do now.
p.s just a note I don’t why mikes does not want to lean how to do this computer but he hands, me the remote control to the TV too. I thing it is if some thing goes wrong he done not have to blame his self. this is way of the topic what is wrote above.
THE END
I’ve checked the link to fluffies, it’s OK, the procedure for posting images is normal, I doubt anything there is infected.
Facebook itself is OK, some of the applications that can be accessed are not. I read of a lot of people who open links they have been sent via a message that cause infections.
It would not be surprising to get an infection this way. Basic rule: don’t open attachments sent to your Facebook messenger. Even if you know the sender. A senders’ name is easy to forge. Get in touch with the sender first, and ask if they sent it, before opening it.
There was a post a page or so back in this thread by DavidR on how to include attachments. [edit] sorry, it was in your other thread.
Only idea I have at this point is to check your taskmanager (scheduled tasks) and see if there is anything scheduled in there that is attempting to run Norton. But I doubt it.
What you write makes sense, OK, but you already know the story. To someone who doesn’t, it can be a bit of a hard read.
One problem with your posts is that you tend to not answer the questions the helpers are asking you. For example, I asked you if you’d copy and pasted the file name of something in the quarantine, or typed it. I still don’t know the answer. So I can’t help on that.
I no matter how many i go back and re read i seem to always miss some thing. later i will go threw the all the post one more time. it seems I am always reading some thing for the 1st time or going back to re reading because i missed some thing or did not understand it right. i don’t know if it is just have one that has a learning disability’s or some thing else. when i feel like i can do it with out making a lot of mistake i will go back and open the chest and double click on each one in the chest and copy do by hand what comes up and type here for you to see it does not let me try to do a copy paste all i can do is try to write it all down and not make any mistake. (now thats a laugh isn’t)
there are times i have re red and missed some one asking me some thing like on the one post where i was ask if any one one else use the computer. and i did not even see that post till just a little while or maybe longer time ago.
you say i did not answer your question and i believes i did i said some thing like when i did the boot and it found a virus. i could type a certain number like one for repair and other i would click one and i did a few different ones this way i said i copy myself. on the with other part about i always copy paste any thing if i can.
maybe any time i was answering a question i should have had it do capital but when i 1st started here some mention that doing it like that would mean i was yelling. i said in most case’s i would agree but in some forums i did it that way so they know i was answering there question. some ask me to do it that way, but as i recall i was told not like that in this forum and i said ok no more capital letter. but i well reread and if i fine where i fine some thing like what i just wrote i could copy paste and show you where i answer your question if you would like.
well that enough of trying to explane i guess mainly when there is a lot going on in my head and i don’t have to much time to do it i try going to fast and i make more mistake then i normally do.
thanks for clarifying your self to me.
Sharon
Suggestion:
What you do, when answering a question, is post the question asked to your own post as a quote.
So you highlight the entire text to be quoted, right click the highlighted area, select “copy”.
Then you select the “quote” button above (Just under the red “A”), place your cursor between the two quote boxes (it should be there anyway), right click, and select “paste”.
Bingo, a quote. Easy. Once you know how.
Then you post the answer, and just the answer, under the quote, by typing it in. Example:
you say i did not answer your question and i believes i did i said some thing like when i did the boot and it found a virus.
No, I just wanted to know if you copy/pasted it, or typed it. And if the answer was "typing" was there a spelling mistake? (Especially in the word "...wizerd")? So to my question [url=http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=46909.msg394558#msg394558]here[/url] (Which reads:
Did you copy and paste this file name or manually type it?
[Quote]
File C:\program Files\Windows\Live\phto Gallery\WLXPHOTO Acquirewizerd.exe
([b]Always[/b] copy and paste file names.)
[/quote]
you might answer:
I typed it. And the name of the file was actually "File C:\program Files\Windows\Live\phto Gallery\WLXPHOTO Acquirewizard.exe
And then I might say,
"no, that file appears OK, it's probably a false positive. Can you please upload it to www.virustotal.org for an online scan and post the url of the scan result, please."
See what I’m saying?
You end up with a better layout, it’s easier for the helpers to follow what’s happening.
To be effective at this you need to read the tutorial (this is the “posting” part of it) to make the most out of the forum software.
i am taking a quick look here and say thank you . i will make sure i keep this is a special spot to review when i need it. also well have questions when i am catch up on mail with the one that has sent me personal mail well helpful hints on how to right a post the right wat thanks Sharom
Hint: Practice some (or all) of the posting techniques listed above. You can create a reply (or a thread) and play around with it, but instead of actually posting it, click the “preview” button (right beside the “post” button) to see what it will look like when posted.
Then, when you’re happy at what you have learned just exit the page without posting anything.
1st thing in the morning i will do a post in both places it will be the second because i was to get back to a friend and did not. that one is 1st
thanks Sharon
