Thanks

Did you find the button on the interface?
Does the automatic analysis reveal anything interesting?

system · 2007-07-05T02:41:01.000Z

Yes I found the analysis on line . I clicked and It gave me
the analysis. Everything looksfiine in the computer except for few
programs my son installed that I don’t know. But it didn’t find any
infected files.
Thanks a lot.

Now I’m using my computer. I finally connected it and I’m checking it.
I found out that the area of add/delete programs is empty.
I went to start to programs installed and clicked on Sas and it said
it doesn’t exist. So I guess that only the names of the programs or softwares are there but not the files.
What should I run to find out what is there or not, Hijackthis or the runner?
Thanks

Hi Tech
I plugged my computer last night but it was not getting the
Internet connection. It said no connectivity or low. For few minutes I got to
get connected but then I lost it again. I could download the runner and
ran the scan but then I couldn’t get connected to analize it.
It says it had no ISP address. I tried repairing and getting a new one but it still saying
to contact the network processor or something like that( I don’t remember the word).
I don’t know what my son did to it.

I disconnected it from the USB network Adapter and went to my daughters bedroom and
unplugged my daughter’s computer from the direct connection to Comcast Cable and
plugged mine and it said the same thing. The computer has low or none connectivity.

Any idea of what’s going on?
Thanks

Your network settings or your Windows installation aren’t good.

For network, you can try WinSock Fix (http://www.majorgeeks.com/WinSock_XP_Fix_d4372.html).
Use Reg-Backup button before fixing.

For Windows installation, overinstallation can solve the problem and you won’t lose your programs, settings, data, files, etc. Just choose ‘Repair’ installation of Windows and install ‘over’ the old installation.

The other two computers get connected, it is my computer the one that
had the blue screen and my son took home to fix it that is not gettin the connection.
I can’t get connected, so I cant get to the links above.
I put the USB network adapter but it says the signal strength is low for connectivity.
But it is with that computer because with this one I’m using now I have the adapter connected to it and it is working.

It also tells me that for assistance cntact the person who manages my network. ???
I don’t get it.

Tech
Tonight is late already but tomorrow God willing I will
try to connect it again to see if I get the Internet connection
at least for few minutes and get to the links you gave me and see if
it fixes it.
I’ll let you know if I get to do it.
Thanks a lot.

Use the other computers…

You need to post the screenshots of your network settings in order to get help from me… I can’t guide you in the dark…

Yes… I’m asleep too… see you round.

system · 2007-07-06T20:41:07.000Z

Hi Tech

Yes, I can get to the links using the other computers
but, don’t I need to get to the links from the one is messed up in
order to fix it?
I mean, I thought it is something I have to download to the messed up computer
so it fixes it. Or it is a page where I can learn how to work with the problem?

Anyway I will try to get connection and get to the webpages.

You need to post the screenshots of your network settings.

I'm sorry to be so computer dumb, :-[ but how I get the network settings? Thanks for your patience. I'm glad I'm not next to you, my head would be full of lumps ;D

No, you need to print the instructions if you need them…

Yes, learn, instructions…

Start Menu > Control Panel > Network connections
Choose the network you’re using, right click it and choose Properties.
Post the TCP/IP settings clicking, again, on Properties. You can take screenshots of them.

system · 2007-07-07T15:05:19.000Z

Hi guys
No way. Tech
The computer connects well to the network adapter
but it doesn’t connect to the internet.
I started doing things at random .
At the AOL explorer page (off line) I clicked on file
and then on Properties ( just guessing) and this is what
I found on the box that opened.

I place the other computer in the same place
and I get Internet connection. But mine doesn’t.

Youve done a good test: the Internet connection seems to be working. The problem is in your computer. Why dont you try to reinstall (overinstall) Windows (without formating the disk)?

system · 2007-07-07T19:15:24.000Z

Thank you Tech

Why don`t you try to reinstall (overinstall) Windows (without formating the disk)?

Do I need the cd that comes with the computer to do this?

haydee post:200:

Well… it will be good… but what you really need is the Windows original CD, if it is in the one that ‘comes with the computer’, no problems. But if not, no way, you need Windows CD.

system · 2007-07-07T23:38:26.000Z

Tech
This is unbelievable! I prayed God first to help me with the computer. I couldn’t find the CD. I started doing things at random. I really can’t remember what I really did (you know the steps). I know I went somewhere and I clicked on few processes that were stopped. I saw running, running, stopped, and I clicked on almost all that were stopped :o
I restarted the computer and opened the network adapter box and looked at the connections available and clicked on the word with the higher number
and Boom! I got connected! :o ;D Thank God!

I ran the runner and here is the report.

http://www.runscanner.net/report.aspx?report=13d8cfa6-44d4-4d59-b09f-1569c62712e6

There is no virus. Is there any other scan I can run to find out any problem in the computer besides viruses?

Lisandro · 2007-07-08T01:25:52.000Z

Your computer seems clean…

I ran the “secunia inspector” and it found around 4 programs that
need to be updated. I tried to update downloading the latest
version and for some reason they can’t be downloaded but neither
can I delete the old file because rare as it is the add/remove
page only has three programs I have downloaded lately.
All the programs which were in the computer before the
disaster happened disappeared from that page but exist in the
computer somewhere. I went to “search” and I found the ones
I want to delete but when I click “delete” it sends me to add/remove
to delete it. You get me?
I have decided to erase the whole computer. I don’t know how to do that.
I’m moving what I saved in “My Favorites” emailing everything to myself.
That way I have all those interesting links in my emails folders.
When I finish I want to erase the whole computer and start from zero again.
How can I do that?
Thank you

system · 2007-07-09T02:39:40.000Z

I ran the Belarc and check this.

Which applications are you talking about?

Export your files and configurations Start > Accessories > System Tools
Safe the files generated to another drive (or USB).
Use the Windows CD and make a new installation…
