Thanks for the great help - I'm throwing up the white flag and am now working on upgrading to Win 10 (long overdo anyways), with a clean install (and some 'strong" advice to my better half)... Stay well, Glen

More info on the "[SID: 29106] System Infected; Trojan Backdoor Activity 152 detected" - went into SEP's Client Mngt logs and the intrusions are listed there, as Outgoing to 175.126.123.219 (which the site shows as Capture and Share - apparently a Korean site). Windows process is...

Quick question - do you think a System Restore would resolve the problem - I have a restore point from a few weeks ago - is that worth a go...?

Hey Darkbreeze - little confused on what you are asking for -- No problem opening up Task Manager and listing the Processes, and then clicking on the Memory column and grabbing multiple screen shots to capture all the processes... - but not sure what you mean by clicking the Start Up tab -...

Sage advice on updating to Win10, which will be in the cards - but here is some new add'l info that my better half shared with me. Apparently at the time Chrome stopped working she got something on the screen that said she needed to update Google Chrome, so (yikes!!!) she clicked on it, and it...

Thanks for and appreciate the comments. I did the 2nd opinion scans, using TDSS Rootkit and Rogue Killer but nothing showed up . Very impressed with Rogue killer - very nice and powerful utility. I've fully scanned now more than 12 times variously using Symantec Endpoint, Malwarebytes (both AV...

On my wife's Win7 PC she runs Symantec Endpoint Protection and today a SEP notification msg started popping up [SID: 29106] System Infected; Trojan Backdoor Activity 152 detected. She also noticed that Google Chrome wouldn't open/run so I did a full AV scan using Malwarebytes and Kaspersky's...

Excellent - not sure why I couldn't find that myself ;-) I'll dig into it in anticipation of finding the updates... Thanks COLGeek.

Helping a friend with updating her (~4 yr old) iMac (and although I'm pretty good with Windows I'm a real novice with Macs). I have noticed that the OS is running 10.10: Yosemite and when i go to System Preferences then click Software Update to check for updates it comes back and say there are...

Success - best I can tell it looks like (and for some cause/reason) my Permissions somehow got screwed up and after updating (ie. playing around with) some of my permissions, and after rebooting, I was able to get the Manage Windows Networks display window showing all the details properly.

Earlier today I was helping a friend install a new router using my Win7 notebook - and got it installed and working OK (for her) - but my notebook would only connect with "limited connectivity". I didn't worry about it at the time but when i got back home and went into Manage Wireless Networks...

Thanks Fix_that_Glitch for your reply. So I went ahead and clicked on the 3 files one at a time beginning with the first one. it came back with a msg that said it couldn't be installed because something was preventing the installation. I clicked on the 2nd one and it installed. I rebooted. I...

I need to update my Win 7 PC at a site where I don't have good Internet access - so I'm looking at doing the the update manually. I quickly ran Windows Updates and determined I need to install an update, namely Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 for Windows 7 for x64 (KB4503548) - so when i was back...

On my Win10 notebook I had to clear out an (Chameleon Explorer) infection - which after a bit of effort I was able to get fully rid of... Along the way however I noticed some interesting code - namely, file:///C:\PROGRA~3\ZVMIMC~1\ACTIVA~1.EXE The instruction obviously ran the ACTIVA~1.EXE...

On my Win7 notebook I'm trying to use Win Media Player 12 to 'cast' (play audio) to an Android phone running BubbleUPNP. I can wifi connect my notebook to either a (newer) TP Link Archer C7 or a (older) DLink Dir625 = both are set up as Access Points. The appln works perfectly when using the...
