What is SS Settings?

 

[greentv2]

Hi Ztruker,
Sorry for the typho (type errors).
It should have been "Configuration is resetting it'self in the personalisation settings"
To make my self clear: The persolisation icon has a red stop sign. And when I
set a new screen saver, mystify I use, after 10-20 seconds it goes back to none

I hope it is more clear now -SS is screensaver. Sorry for the mistake.
I was a bit confused - no screensaver now I have a lit screen all the time

Thanks for the help

What anti-virus are you using?
Any other AV/anti-spyware software, like Spybot Search & Destroy or any that try to protect you from changes made to your system? Let's see what's installed and running:

Download and install CCleaner from the following link: CCleaner - Standard

During installation, uncheck the option to install the Yahoo toolbar.

Start CCleaner. Click on Tools (ICON) and Select the following BUTTONS to create two (2) text files:

* Uninstall > Save to text file (install) – bottom right corner of app window
* Startup > Save to text file (startup)

Locate and open each saved file in the ‘Documents’ FOLDER:

* Copy and paste the contents of each file into your next post (2 files).

Hi Ztrker,

I amusing avast av free edition and SuperAntivirus
Itried to download Ccleaner but I get a menu to select the language
and it changes to Albanian in 5-10 s econds. I do not understand Albanian
so I cannot do anything. Something strange happened this afternoon after a Restore 4 days ago : The stop sign in the personlization icon on the desktop
went away and the screensaver worked again until 3 hours ago.
I cannot do no suggestions copy and paste so I can give no results.
Is there a virus active? Yesterday the avast av stopped working and after some playing with it it started to work again - giving me secure protection


Is this the work of a new virus??
Thanks for the help and suggestions

Sure sounds like some kind of malware infection.

Try running Malware Bytes Anti Malware (free) and see if it shows anything. You can run this in Safe Mode with Networking if necessary.

I have no idea what StopZilla did for you that resolved your problem but you can't argue with success.

Thanks

Interesting reading here: stopzilla for real or a scam?

Read all the way through. Lots of bad posts but many good ones as well. Seems to be a problem with StopZilla hijacking your IE sometimes.

Ztruker,

I have read the thread about STOPzilla a scam ?
I had a problem a few weeks ago and now it is solved. I did a lot of
things including Scan by STOPzilla and initial fix with STOPzilla free trial version.

There are 3 kinds of posts:
1. Ben from STOPzilla 2. Positive for ZTOPzilla 3. Negative for STOPzilla
It was not easy
I will let everyone decide for them selves. I had success with STOPzilla and will purchase it (smallest package for 1'st year. It was not easy!
I also found a wireless mouse with a problem (not working the way it should)

One more question: The backup procedures in the Tutorials are not working
for me. Do I have to keep trying or start a new thread.

Thanks for your help...

Sounds like it`s time for a reinstall. Have you installed anything that brought this on ? Can you do a system restore ?

I can do a system restore. But to what point. A fewdays ago, 4-5 weeks ago or earlier last year when the laptop was bought.
Do I have to reinstall anything?

Thank you for the suggestion.

Try a few days back, see if your pc works fine. If not go back a few more days etc.

Hi AddRAM

I have restorerd twice up to a week. With good results.
After a few hours (6-8) the computer keeps going back to the same problem again.
No ScreenSavers and acting strange.
Do I keep going back to restore or is reinstall the only solution?

Thanks

What happens over that 6-8 hours? Do you reinstall any software, do windows update?

If nothing then a reinstall may be the only permanent solution. Just make sure you have your data backed up first.

Ztruker,

I have a good backup of data/documents. It is working reasonable now.
Is a recovery disk or reinstalling windows the same

[Ztruker]

They accomplish the same thing but there are advantages and disadvantages to both methods.

Using the Recovery disc put your computer back to exactly like it was when you purchased it. That includes all the garbage applications (Foistware) many include that no one really wants. The advantage is there will be no problem with any device drivers missing, though Win 7 has very little problem in that area anyway.

Using a full Install disc give you a clean install with no additional garbage but it also does not include any application that you may have liked from the original install. There also may be a problem with some device drivers though after the first Windows Update they are usually taken care of.
