Replies A friend called that he opened a Microsoft Word file from an unknown sender, and clicked the "Enable Macro" security option, and then his computer stopped working http://lichao.net/eblog/resolved-the-critical-disk-error-malware-201401878.html with the following error message window prompted. Windows has encountered a corrupted folder on your hard drive. Multiple corrupted files have been found in the folder "My Documents". To prevent serious loss of http://www.pchell.com/support/windows_diagnostic.shtml data, please allow Windows to restore these files. And there are two "Restore files" and “Restore files and check disk for errors” link at the bottom. My friend did not believe these hard disk messages were legitimate ones from Microsoft and suspected that his computer was infected by some kind of virus / malware. So he didn't go ahead to click any of these two links and gave me a call. I am glad he did since who knows what would happen if he clicked them. I instructed him on the phone to use "Alt+F4" to close these hard disk drive suspicious programs, but it does not work for this particular window. And he rebooted his computer a couple time, but as soon as his network has been connected, this error message prompted again. I asked him to do a safe mode reboot, but unfortunately he could not boot into the safe mode even he pressed the "F8″ key before the Windows loaded. So I decided to play a visit to see what was going on. Then I found out that his OS is Windows 8.1, and I had to boot into the Safe Mode according to this TechNet article " Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode) " by holding "Shift" key while I clicked the Restart option in Windows 8. In the Safe Mode, I had a chance to snip around and finally found out the cause. Here are my steps: Press Win+R, then type "msconfig" to find out what kind of services/program run at the startup. And I found out there was a weird program called "Diablo III Setup", and disabled it and took it noted. Press Win+R, and type "regedit" to check any startup items from there. Usually you should check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
rogue virus called Windows Diagnostic. Virus writers are becoming experts in SEO (search engine optimization) and are getting infected sites ranking very high in the search engines. Although these sites only rank high for a short time, they can do tremendous damage while they are showing up. In this particular case, the computer I was cleaning up was infected when its owner went to the following sites from a Google search. http://www.discountesteelauder.co.cc/78ke http://www.mainezoocoupons.co.cc/bi4k Neither site is operational now, but they did show up in search results and helped infect the computer with some nasty rogue malware called Windows Diagnostic. This malware is virtually identical to a number of other drive utility type scareware products like Windows Repair, Windows Scan, Windows Safe Mode, Windows Disk, and Windows Restore. It shows a PC Performance & Stability report and scares you into thinking your computer is about to crash...unless you purchase the product. What Does Windows Diagnostic malware look like? The Windows Diagnostic malware presents a "PC Performance & Stability Report" when it pops up on your computer. This report shows the same sorts of alerts that many rogue antivirus type programs show. However, it takes things a step further. Instead of showing viruses, trojans, and other malicious programs that have invaded your computer, it tells you that your hard drive and computer are crashing with a variety of messages such as: "Hard Drive Failure The system has detected a problem with one or more installed IDE / SATA hard disks. It is recommended that you restart the system" "System Error An error occurred while reading system files. Run a system diagnostic utility to check your hard disk drive for errors" "Critical Error Hard drive critical error. Run a system diagnostic utility to check your hard disk drive for errors. Windows can't find hard disk space. Hard drive error" "Fix Disk Windows Diagnostic Diagnostics will scan the system to identify performance problems.
