malwarebytes runs scans fine. only thing is the ransom button cannot be turned on. just in past week i began getting notices that it needed to be turned on but no matter what i cannot turn it on. but i can always run this program and have scanned many times in the past 2 days. just a normal PUP...

I have a perplexing problem. I noticed on Friday that my Norton icon was not in my tray and it was not running. I could not make it run unless I was in safe mode. It appeared to be okay and safe mode. I tried Norton tools to remove it and reinstall it and basically what I get is a computer that...

and finally this seems conclusive so i think we are done here. i hope.. ill go home and test it for sure tonight https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/638875/rogue-folder-and-file-on-hardisk/

actually i may have found the answer but never heard of a honeypot. i believe the program creates directories and is a trigger if you get ransomeware. i guess i can turn off the program and try to delete the files and see what happens...

what do you mean? i have paid norton but since it showed clear i downloaded the kaspersky quick scan or whatever its called since i know nothing is perfect. also i have paid malwarebytes and that has continually showed 'pup no drives' for a while but it appears every time i reboot. and...

On my home machine yesterday just happened to notice on C drive 2 strange folders. they reappear even though you delete them. norton/malwarebytes paid and cyberfree ransomeware are on the machine tdsskiller shows nothing. the ransomware program I have keeps saying something is found and it is...

i'm helping a friend who's email was violated. the person had her password and so I wanted to change it. she didn't know what the password was (long story) but we entered enough info on the security screen that they let us reset the MSN password. however, when we went to change the security...

ah ok gotcha. just wish i had definitive proof this is over now that we changed the PW so we could avoid all this. sigh. but her machine does bog down so maybe something is amiss anyway. has 4 gigs on it and even when less than half that is in use the machine locked up a lot with not responding...

ok but if old drive is connected to the machine, wouldn't it still possibly reinfect even if I got new drive for the install?

TY for the update. now he knows we are on to him but anyone would have to know if they had email breach, the person will change password. 2. ok I do know there are other programs to access the PC but I guess you are saying just unchecking that box is not a 'master' switch to kill remote...

last night ran spybot and malwarebytes and Kaspersky on my friends machine. I also looked through task manager and the running services. i'm far from an expert but there were no obvious issues to tell how someone got my friends email. my friends " friend/ex" (who also maintains her system for...
