Multitude of problems that I can't figure out
I posted the below message to the Bleeping computer site also.
I just spent 30 minutes typing my problem and went to attach a screenshot and my firefox browser closed.
This reminded me what first brought my attention to my problem
I have a Dell Latitude notebook running Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit. I have had this computer for several years and the yrs ago upon my retirement 3 years ago was given the computer without any adjustment by the IT dept so I log in just like I did when connected to the work domain
My story:
About 3 months ago I noticed when I tried to attach something to an email message my Firefox browser would shut down this only happened with the local IP email program, they couldn't explain it and I have a Yahoo acct so I could use that for email attachments. That is what just happened with my first lengthy message to this forum but it was lost when I reopened the browser.
Abut the same time as the attachment problem I noticed an installed program called Bit( started blocking automatic updates from Malewarebytes, I also discovered I could not manually run a scan or get an update etc. Also I found I could not run CCleaner, Bit9 blocked it.
I also noticed I could not run a downloaded .exe file (virus detection program) Bit 9 blocked the opening of any executable file now
I ran several bootable virus programs but nothing was found
I log into SafeMode but the screen just flashes at .5 second intervals like the computer is rapidly restarting
This also happens when I log on as another user, the screen just flashes
If I select the Remove Program feature in Control Panel Control Panel closes.
I read that the Sality virus has symptoms like I am experiencing but how do I determine it that is the cause?
Prior to the start of all these problems I can olny remember the Bit 9 program refusing to open an .exe file 2 or 3 times
Please Help!
