Hi I know there are a lot of antivirus software suites out there but I would like to hear from the readers regarding their views of reliable "free" antivirus software. I don't think the big box stores would recommend anything so I am reaching out to this community for an …

I swapped out my HDD for an SSD in my Win 8.1 Lenovo Y480, replacing the HDD in the optical drive slot using an [HDD Caddy](http://hddcaddy.eu/). The system runs fine. I still see the original copy of the Windows System disk that sits on the HDD in Windows listed as …

Hi, Malware Bytes has stopped scanning. I had bought the full professional, and it stopped scanning files on request (from the pop-up menu when you right-click on files). I then realised it wouldn't update, and reinstalls have failed. The other virus software I use is simply Windows Defender. I'm running …

Lenovo Y480, Win 8.1. Last month a Malware Bytes update started cannibalizing my system, quarantining over 600 driver files, .dlls and assorted stuff. (Earlier part of that story [here](http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/viruses-spyware-and-other-nasties/threads/481460/mbam-blocked-and-cant-scan-cant-upate-cant-install-it-again#). I tried to undo everything, and in the process uninstalled MBAM, thereby deleting the quarantined files. My system is full of …

Hello; I got some kind of infection or something last week, which caused my virus software not to update, and finally my computer to totally crash and would not reboot. I successfully recovered my system from an image (it was one level up of messy from actual system restore - …

Hi, I recently re-installed Win 7 Ultimate on a fresh hard drive in my Dell XPS 1340, and used my OEM-supplied disk to install drivers. I also used Driver Robot to auto-install or update the drivers, as well as searching the Dell website. I then burned a System Recovery disk …

I had a hard drive crash, which meant I had to install a new HDD in my Dell 64-Bit XPS 1350 (lovely computer). I had previously been running Windows 7 Ultimate Professional which I had upgraded from the OEM Win 7 Home Premium by means of a disk I purchased …

Hi, I'm running Windows 7.64, with an English language systeem. I use Chinese and Japanase input. But suddenly Korean appears as the language when I log in to the system when awakening from sleep, and it's unremovable from the language bar. All the other languages can be "Removed", but Korean …

Hi, I'm getting BSOD extremely frequently over the last 24 hours. The blue screen says: Kernal Data Inpage Error, and 0x0000007a. but goes by too fast for me to copy down any other code. It also recommended stopping "Cache Shadowing" in the BIOS, but I could not find this option …

Malicious Virus attack! Dear Forum members; I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I contracted a dsc.exe virus yesterday. Solutions I found for removing it did not work – I assume they were written for other OS’s. However, this morning I managed to remove it using MBAM. I quarantined all …
