but it was recovered through software………… I am looking for something for which password can never be recovered. so that if I forget the password I must have to lose the data (not even me who can recover the protection…key or password)

Thank you!

What if someone delete the folder or file which was protected by PASSWORD PROTECT FOLDERS or if someone try to remove this software through control panel?

What is the difference between using Backup and restore center in control panel to backup my data, and manual backup e.g. copy and paste files to another location?

my laptop had virus. I think since I go to facebook I get virus.
so, I put the set up disk in and and I think I got rid of virus.
but, I don’t see my security system that was avast anywhere in control panel.
should I install it again? thank.

hi my comp has two problems..
1) i removed an antivirus program called threat fire but my computer at the security center in the control panel says its still there, i checked everywhere for threat fire but its completely gone i think… but its still there… im currently using avg as my antivirus program.
2) i think i have a malware in my comp, dont know how to remove it and dont think avg can remove it. it shows a red baloon on the bottom right corner and tell me to download xp guard, how cani remove this thing…

I have gone to many sites and get free scans but have to pay in order to remove the program. Is there anyway I can remove it myself? I’ve gone to the delete/change program option on my control panel- but that doesn’t remove it. Thanks for the info!

We moved in a few months ago, and because we don’t have a landline, the pre-existing home security system is inactive. That hasn’t been a problem until this week, when I tripped the smoke alarm; ever since then, once a day, usually at a painfully early hour, it beeps until I type in the security code. Then it happens all over again the next morning. The control panel is in our closet and I suspect the solution to my problem lies there, but I’m not sure what wires to disconnect. Any ideas?

This won’t remove from control panel

I have just subscribe a web hosting service with free .com domain name.
However, they put my real data inside. So, when ppl use WHOIS service to search for my domain, will see all of my details including name, address, hp number etc..

I ask them why, and they said I need to subscribe their Whois Protection Service which cost USD. I don’t like to pay them any additional fees, becoz of their bad and rude service.

Today when I login to my control panel, I suddenly found that actually I can change my WHOIS data directly from my control panel.

So, my question is:
Can I put fake data in? Is there any bad consequences?
Will it causes my domain easily being transferred by unauthorised party?

Please help…Thanks a lot!!

I’ve been using AVG Free for over a year. I recently updated to version 9. It scans every day. All seems well. In the last two days, in the last 5 times of opening my computer I immediately see an urgent message from the ’security center’, that I do not have virus protection and have 42 threats, 3 critical. I try to remove them and can only do it if I buy the program. No, thanks. I check AVG. It tells me all is well. One security shield on the tool bar shows a white cross on red. Next to it is a blue and grey security shield. If I go to the security shield via the control panel all is well. I tried to remove this ‘Security Center’ program but even tho it says it is a trial program is says it is not removable. What’s going on? Suppossedly my internet provider, Cox Cable also has virus protection, Norton. So I don’t know what or which program to believe.

i can not get this personel security off my computer and i can not access into the control panel or other things to down load to get it off it is a fake and just wants you to buy what they are selling so what can i do thank you kendra

Most sites are blocked and I am frustrated with this program. Please please help. I have tried to remove from the control panel but it wont let me. Again, please help.

After I install avg, my pc runs slowly and slowly. My friend told to change for avast.
But now control panel cant uninstall avg now:("
Any method to remove it? Its avg internet security.

By mistake, Security Tool was installed in my computer while I was browsing the web. I believe it is some kind of virus because it kept telling me my PC is infected, so I need to use their tool. I can’t locate it using "Add & remove" at Control panel, Avast, or EasyCleaner. Then my PC got paralyzed. I was able to make it run again using System Restore. How do I make sure it’s not in my PC anymore? Please help… Thank you.

Removed it from the control panel but a search reveals that there are a lot files left. I plan on using another anti virius software.

I tried doing add or remove programs in control panel but it just closes out of the program when it come up.

Help computer viruses?
It a newer computer and its running xp
It has Total Security on it but it has expired but it still scans
last scan
malicious programs (2), viruses (26), adware (2), spyware (6), tracking cookies (2)
It wont remove it unless we buy the program and right now we don’t have the money.
The background has changed to blue and says "Warning! Your’re in danger! Your computer is infected with spyware!" and more but didn’t want to type it all.
And every minute the icons and start bar and mouse pointer disappears and than comes back and a window pops up saying "Another program is currently using the file."
and anything you was on is closed down.
Firefox or Explorer wont open and nothing works in control panel after opening the control panel.

I was told to uninstall total security but
1. i cant do anything in the control panel so i cant open the uninstaller
2. i cant open any program including the internet
3. i can even find the data folder for total security in program files or data files.
4. alls i can do is open folders or so far thats all i can figure out

i can’t even get into safe mode or any of the other chooses but normal
and iv already to tried to do the usb thing but the computer wont even let the program download

I can’t get into safe mode when i try it just goes black and back to the window to select
safe mode
safe mode with networking …
i can’t even open the task manager
