Need a fix for XP's Auto-hide Task-bar?

OK, I was a tech for several years and have forgotten more than I can remember, so please no answers like 'rt click start button %26gt; properties %26gt;...' already done... already set prog's so theuy should 'duck down' behind taskbar etc...



So here's the problem: task-bar hides but when cursor is moved to bottom of page to unhide/reveal it doesn't work... the only thing I can do is use the 'MicrOCrap' key to unhide it... This happens with all of my usual programs so I figure I must have a registry key that has been dropped or has been altered... no virus to date since this machine was built (Avast is the greatest!)... Any ideaz, this one is stumping me and I know it must be really simply stupid...



Some days I wish I had swam upstream 20 yrs ago and followed the apple :- /

I think I have the same problem. None of these answers worked for you huh?



Need a fix for XP's Auto-hide Task-bar?software



Taskbar Activate, I'll look into it. I had to keep setting that auto-hide over and over again, and eventually it stuck, but only for like 3/4 reboots and then I'd have to do it again. Thanx for the tip! If I find a better answer, I'll try and let you know. Report It

What is WRONG with my computer & desktop?? Is it a virus??!?

Okay, so I am assuming I have a virus. For some reason, I cannot put anything on my desktop besides a plain color. I cannot right click and put a picture on the desktop, nor can I go to display and change the settings. It won't even let me click on the desktop pic's when I go to Display. I downloaded Avast! a while ago and it did not help.. I think it just made it worse. I am running AVG on my computer now, but it's almost done and no threats are coming up. What do you think can be wrong with it? Is it a virus or did I just change a setting on my computer somehow? Someone please help me, it is driving me nuts, and if its a virus I want to try to get rid of it ASAP. Any suggestions????



What is WRONG with my computer %26 desktop?? Is it a virus??!?norton internet security 2008



Sounds like your desktop has been hijacked by a virus. I too had this happen. My suggestion is to have hard drive wiped and then reinstall the windows again. This worked perfect for me.



What is WRONG with my computer %26 desktop?? Is it a virus??!?spyware removal



it is a virus!! obvious.Try MCafee or norton antivirus
Yes your desktop has been hijacked as one the people mentioned before. But virus dont have that capability. Virus only disrupt and replicate. Thats it!.I think its always interesting that people recommend anti-virus software for spyware. The is not the proper way to approach spyware. Anti-virus and spyware are separate technologies. Yes, anti-virus programs can remove some spyware if the signatures have been added to the data base. This is a backward and late process. Spyware is the biggest threat to your PC. So, you need software that is updated daily. Do a scan with a reputable anti-spyware product, like spysweeper. a if it pulls up a spyware with a few names. Thats your problem. Hope this helps :)



http://www.delete-computer-history.com/b...
yup, your desktop has been hijacked...use control panel to access the display properties and turn off active desktop or cutomize your desktop not to display any webpage on your desktop...then perform a scan using spyware removal sw....



hope this helps

Why won't my browser connect?

Every time I try to open my internet browser, it won't connect to any site. It says Firefox is unable to connect to whatever site. Its weird because when I restart my computer it works for like 5 minutes then it will give the error page suddenly. Its not just firefox either, IE and Opera also don't work. I know its not the internet connection itself because yahoo messenger and various other applications work with the internet. Also I ran a full boot avast anti-virus, it found multiple trojans and stuff, I deleted them and the problem still persists.



Why won't my browser connect?norton internet security



Try scanning your pc for viruses in safe mode (reboot %26 press f8 repeatedly till it gives you the boot option screen). Also make sure to look up the viruses you found to make sure that you remove all traces of them. Some viruses/trojans leave traces of themselves behind %26 your virus protection doesn't remove all of the infection. Virus protection sites usually give a detailed profile of the virus %26 and it's characteristics and how to completely remove all traces.



You also might want to check your firewall, it might be blocking the http port because the nasties are trying to phone home.



Why won't my browser connect?spyware remove



Try to ping the website from the dos prompt



Ex : ping yahoo.com



If you get the reply problem with your browser otherwise reinstall your windows..........
Try going into ''Internet options'' in the control panel and clearing your history,temporary files(check box for offline) and cookies.Click ''OK'' to close the window.Try again.
Try reinstall your browser or download the virus removal tools from other PC/Laptop to clean again. Some virus or worm will actually alter your windows registry files or other library files. By deleting the virus or quarantine it will not help sometime.

  • Today I opened an email from classmates.com and got a Trojan. My defenses alerted me to it, it flash

    twice and I have not seen it since. I updated and ran Avast, AdAware Personal, Spybot, Superantispyware, and CCleaner.They all came up empty.



    Has the trojan been eliminated or is it hiding somewhere?If it is hiding what else can I do to find it?



    Also Microsoft firewall and a hardware firewall in a router are in place.

    Installing two or more virus protections on my PC?

    What are the advantages/disadvantages, if there are any.



    I have avg, avast and mcafee installed on my PC and they are all free editions.



    Installing two or more virus protections on my PC?nortonantivirus



    there's a lot of conflict if you have two or more anti-virus softwares in your pc and in most cases they contradict rather than give you better protection. they also slows down your computer a lot since they are all programmed to run at startup. instead of three, just have an updated one.



    Installing two or more virus protections on my PC?spyware



    You don't ever want to install two antivirus programs. You will have serious conflict with your system. You can install three or four antispyware without conflict as one will find what the others miss. Just have the resources for the software.



    Minddoctor, France
    Any virus protections you have in your PC are for free TEMPORARY. You will have to choose one day to buy one.You do not need two anti-virus a good one is enough. Let me tell you that all free editions are not fully protected your PC. They are LIMITED editions. Please,if you think my answer helps you somehow, do not forget to rate it. As Microsoft Office, the anti-virus program allows you between 60 to 90 days of free trial.That is.
    will run into conflicts and typically they will battle for resources and cause problems amongst each other. AVG and AVast work well with free editions and mcafee is a good pay for solution. Use 1 solution and preferrably one with firewall included as well
    The use of 2 or more anti-virus programs at the same time can cause major conflicts. The 2 scanning engines will fight each other to scan every file that you read, write or execute which can cause a major computer slowdown. For the same reason, using 2 A-Vs can cause you to have less protection from the various malware, not more.



    (Using an anti-spyware and a firewall with an anti-virus is good, however and is recommended)



    You might consider choosing just one A-V and removing any others. (Keep Avast...hint, hint)
    more than one anti virus on your pc is asking for trouble...they're not compatible with each other and will cause conflicts eventually...but you can have more than one anti spyware program installed

    Google out of service?

    Yesterday I was working and using Google.com all the time. Around 11pm (CT) I try Google for a new search and I couldn't believe that the server was out of service. however, I am still cannot access the Google web site.



    Someone is having this problem?



    This started yesterday while I was setting up my account at Google AdWords.



    I am not getting re-direct for another www or even having pop up screen on my desktop. It's just keep loading loading loading and loading ...



    Also, I have installed PC Tools Firewall and !Avast Anti-virus



    Google out of service?noton



    I dont suppose its an issue with any of the updates you did and NOR the issue with google. Its sometimes the way your browser behaves when you have a disconnectivity of network for a brief moment OR if there is an issue with the cache OR if there were some JRE/Java downloads that happened.



    Clear your cache with all the browsers closed. Try again.. It works !!



    Google out of service?stinger



    maybe it wasnt really google. maybe it was a spam site posing as google.
    9:28 central time google workes for me gmail and google maps
    Maybe you just have to update your computer.
    wtf? im using google right now



    your computer just sucks

    Im having trouble with downloading things can u help me plz??

    i cant download programes such as internet explorer 7, msn messenger or avast!we i try to download it a box shows up saying '' your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'' i have put all the settins back to default so what security settings?? how do i change it??



    Im having trouble with downloading things can u help me plz??panda



    Default settings are not necessarily low enough for downloading to take place. You need to click Tools %26gt; Internet Options %26gt; Security and make sure the sliders are at the bottom and all cookies are accepted. You can restore it back to how it was once you have downloaded your files.



    Im having trouble with downloading things can u help me plz??suzuki



    Well it depends what you are using. You should go to your start menu go and find the security programme you have then go on the setting and turn them of or if you are still stuck go on the Microsoft web and ask them! i hope i helped!
    go to internet options %26gt; programs...reset web settings...



    or



    go to advanced tab, select restore defaults.. apply



    it should be fine.
    try re-booting your pc and then check your security settings again
    Sounds like the firewall is blocking them...find your firewall look under settings then add the sites you want to connect with to the allowed list.
    haha tube to you too!

    My computer is suddenly running sooo slowly?

    It just started yesterday. Neither AdAware, Spybot, nor Avast has found anything, in normal or safe mode. I have cleared my cache, including the cookies and temp files in Windows, defragged, and run a disk cleanup. And I haven't downloaded anything lately. What else is there??



    I'm running Windows 98 on a Dell with a 56k modem.



    My computer is suddenly running sooo slowly?pc security



    There seems no problem with usage. The problem with Windows is that it slows down with time.



    I am also using Win98 and it has become painfully slow in last few years. Infact, I reformatted it several times and still the problem persists.



    The problem is actually with Microsoft, believe me.



    My computer is suddenly running sooo slowly?symantic



    Trojan horse virus=clean it.
    simple through it out of the window
    Hold the Ctrl butoon, and while holding it hit the Alt button, and while holding these two buttons down, also hit the Delete button. This will open a window that shows you which APPs and Processes are running, In the Processes tab, if there is something that is taking up a lot of memory in order to run, you can try shutting it down, to see if the computer works faster without it running. (you may get a message saying that if you close this program, other programs may not work )...Don't worry about shutting something down that your not sure of. If you get into trouble, just turn your computer off and reboot. Everything will be returned to normal. In addition, you may try going to your main program menu, and click the program ''Start-up'' if you have it. If there is something there that is starting up when you boot up that you do not need, delete it from the start-up menu. The program will still be there if you need it, it just won't start when you boot up. That way, you may save RAM space, if you do not have a lot of memory, and this may speed up your computer. Generally, slow computers mean you've run out of RAM space, and the computer has to use your hard drive to swap virtual memory. Getting more RAM memory will ALWAYS speed up your computer. Good luck.
    Get Windows Xp. It runs faster
    time to upgrade!!! try stopping programs from starting up at boot, and programs running in the background..
    In addition to your already taken steps like cleaning of cache, etc. also see how much free space is available in your C Drive ( I am assuming that your windows is installaed on C Drive).

    I need to know how to remove this?

  • Major Spyware/Virus problems. This is critical my home computer is down. Please help!?

    When I boot up my computer and it goes to the password screen a box pops up with ascii characters. The only thing I can do is click ok. If I hold down ctrl+alt+del it flashes back and forth to the blue ''windows is starting up screen''. What it does is change my registry and the file associations so I can't open any programs. This happens in safe mode as well because I still have to put in a password. I can see the icons but not the picture that is supposed to be there and I can't click and open anything.. I can do system restore and that will get me in for a minute, but I have to quickly open any program I wanna use. I ran adaware and trendmicro and avast. I clean it but when I reboot the same thing happens and I have to do system restore again to get back into anything. Every says Fdisk and reformat etc. I got a 200 gig HD and don't want to lose everything, I have no way to back my stuff up until I can get another HD. Please any have the same problem or know how to fix it?

    Anyone have experience or knowledge of a anti-spyware program called XOFTSPYSE.?

    It seems to be returning false information. Saying there is a problem where other checkers return a clean bill of health. Example.



    XOFTSPYSE said I had 鈥淏anker BBQ Trojan鈥?located in the Reg at Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurentVersion... = No Close.



    Avast, Ad-aware, Spy-Bot, Spyware Doctor all showed clean.



    Xoft will not answer my repeated request for informaiton.



    Anyone have experience or knowledge of a anti-spyware program called XOFTSPYSE.?product key



    Yes, I demanded my money back from them and it took almost two months before I was refunded my money.



    I believe the only reason they refunded my money was becasue I told them I was going to run a full page ad about all of their false claims in a major newspaper.



    You not only get false/positives, like CWS, Trojans, unknown spyware in registry keys that are not there when searched with regedit. XoftspySe, fails to even find a tracking cookie.



    I use three other antispyware programs and I ran http://www.superantispyware.com and with a complete scan found 19 tracking cookies. Ran AdAware Personal Se. http://www.lavasoft.com found 19 tracking cookies. Ran A2Squared Malware, http://www.emsisoft.com Found 19 tracking cookies.



    I did not delete them because I wanted to test XOFTSPYSE. When I performed my scan only nine tracking cookies were found. I clicked on removed. Not one of them were removed as stated in the software.



    Ran the other two and the nine XOFTSPYSE, found were still there and all the other that were missed.



    End results I cleaned them with, Superantispyware.com



    If you use your search engine and key in, ''rate antispyware'', you will see they are rated way down on the list.



    Support sucks, as it took two months for them to answer the many emails I sent to them. And another two months to tell me they would refund my money.

    Hi,

    Oh I know what your going through, Norton is Crap



    Your gonna have to uninstall it and then go through the registry and look for symantic and delete any occurances



    you can use reg edit( start--%26gt;Run----%26gt;regedit)



    Norton is very hard to get rid off and will slow your computer down badly.It took me almost 3 days to get that crap off my computer.



    We now use an ani Virus called Nod32 it works on 32 and 64 bit systems plus works beautiful with Vista. I think its 30.00 for the year and can be used on 3 computers

    Help uninstalling Norton 360 - It stops my wireless working?trojan



    You do not have any proper specifications regarding the exact nature of software conflics which you and your computer are currently facing .How does your Laptop stop working when you uninstalled your IT wireless ??Does the Laptop shut down or Turn off or it simply does not respond to certain applications...I mean..what stops working exactly ?? For example, what are the error messages being displayed on the screen display of your dell Inspiron before you came to the conclusion of uninsalling Norton 360 ?? Any way if you wish to continue and do away with Norton 360 ,then try this; select start %26gt; control Panel, then click%26gt; Add or Remove Progams.under currently installed Progams, Identify [ Norton 360 ] then click Remove and follow the on screen display instructions to complete uninstallation process while I only hope that no Norton 360 registration information / files are missing or have been corrupted otherwise you might need to remove manually. Please restart your computer if promted... to complete the uninstallation..Good luck

    Anyway, I cleaned them all off--except I don't know how to get rid of what appears to be an extremely persistent virus. This site is really gross; advertising child porn or something like that. I don't want to write it out fully because don't want to advertise it, but it starts with ''http://hardsite.'' and ends with ''.to/''.



    I'm a relatively sophisticated user, so I've already tried alot of remedies:



    - I've cleared the History, Cookies and Temp Internet files, both in IE and manually.



    - I ran an array of anti-spyware programs:



    + SpyBot



    + AdWare



    + Yahoo AntiSpy



    - I ran a full deep scan of Avast! AntiVirus.



    These steps removed alot of junk, but this site still pops up.

    How do I remove the leftover Reg. Keys and Files from the Trojan called Virtumonde / Vundo?

    I found this Trojan on my step daughters PC. I was able to remove it with my Avast Boot Scanner. And I was successful in getting it out of the Restore as well. The problem is, It's still showing up as an infection when I scan with Spyware Doctor. I have surfed all over the Web searching and trying different scanner tools to remove the after effects of this bug. I would like to find a (TOTALLY FREE) program that searches out and removes these leftover reg keys and files. I tried the specific removers that were out there and they can't even find these embeded files. I may have to recover this PC but I was going to give my yahoo friends an opportunity to help me first. I won't buy anything so please don't offer me the scan free and pay to remove programs. IT MUST BE TOTALLY FREE. Thanks!

    I've used for years Norton products, but recently changed over to Zone Alarm's Internet Security Suite that includes anti-virus, anti-spyware, IM security and a super Firewall.



    And on top of that, I can run it on up to 3 separate computers (3 legal licenses) for one price!



    On a monthly basis I will also run an outside scan using Trend Micro's Housecall program located here: http://housecall.trendmicro.com
