I have a problem with my computer. I've red an other topic (but I can't find it anymore) and it seems to mee that I have a virus. I can not acces any files or programs. After starting I get Windows recovery which I've never seen before (could be me but I'm not sure) It detects this mistakes and can not fix them if I upgr
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 http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/386590/hard-drive-failure-critical-error/ 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 http://www.pchell.com/support/windows_diagnostic.shtml 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 s

Extending Laptop Battery Life Buying a Second Hand Laptop Upgrading a Notebook If It Jams Home Copyright 2011 by Morris Rosenthal All Rights Reserved Won't Boot Windows, Drive Errors, Freezes or Laptop Problem Warning! Before Disassembling Laptop always unplug power and remove the battery. Just because the operating system won't boot doesn't mean that your hard drive is failing. Hard drive failures are actually pretty rare, unless something jars the laptop while it's working. Most people don't know where to start when faced with a laptop that doesn't start up like usual, which is why I wrote The Laptop Repair Workbook. Starting with an introduction to laptop technology and cost considerations in repairing laptops, it moves onto twelve diagnostic flowcharts with explanatory text, of which the drive problems flowchart below is just one. The diamond symbols are linked to text that explains each decision point. Troubleshooting Laptop Hard Drive Failure Note that these steps correspond with decision points on the flowchart and are reached through the interactive diamond symbols. The text below cannot be read sequentially. Is the LCD or monitor live? Troubleshooting laptop hard drive failures begins with eliminating non-hard drive issues. Many consumers and office workers have taken to referring to the body of any computer or laptop as a "hard drive". If your LCD screen won't light up, the problem almost certainly isn't related to the hard drive. Return to Diagnostic Chart Does Windows or whatever operating system you are using boot? Does the laptop start up normally, get you all the way to the desktop? If the OS boots, unless you are dealing with a noise issue, the problem you're having is either software related or an accumulation of errors on the drive. If you're getting very flaky errors, having difficulty when connected to the Internet, are seeing large scale file corruption or data loss, the problem is more likely due to malware (bad software such as a computer virus, spyware, trojans) tha
