sameolg616:
hmmm..im sure it was the combofix that worked

Yes sir. I am highly grateful

sameolg616:

as for the ads,u need an adblocker which would be installed as an addon into your browser..
for me,i use ublock origin..its the best tested adblocker around...trust me,u wont need to worry abt them anymore..
i dont know which browser u use...but you can google the name for ur browesr eg i use mozilla,so i'd google ublock origin for firefox..
as for your system running slow,many factors may be responsible:
1..low memory..if you use 1-2gig the the more pages u open,the more memory would be used..
2..invalid entries..alot of people think only viruses may systems unstable,slow or corrupt..wrong!invalid entries are entries "orphaned"on your system as a result of entries,data,temp files leftover from uninstalltion,registry files etc...its always advisable to run a registry cleaner atleast on a 2-3day basis so your system can breathe well...alot of people use ccleaner but i have never tried it before besides,free version softwares have limitations and may not be able to achieve desired reuts..i use uniblue registry booster(runs automatically sowhen it finds,it alerts me)+pc reviver..these 2 form the best alliance
3..browsers:different browser have different capabilities as with regards to its usuage in memory:
-internet explorer:if you do more of internet banking or need more security,this is the best browser cuz its secure but too heavy in the memory,sluggish and old skool
-firefox mozilla:its the most moderate browser to use...it may be less secure,not so fast,not slow and if u can exploit it for "reprogramming" purposes..usuage in the memory is ok..
-google chrome-claims to be the fastest but in inject aleast 5 modules into your ram(u can check the processes in task manager)..in some cases,it even makes the system unstable..i hope this is not your choice
the we have the newest microsoft edge(no addons or plugins)..it was built to rival the chrome and only present on windows 10,,seems fast but unconventional(for me) so i cant say much about it..
4..antivirus:alot of people just use antivirus without knowing its features,operations,size in memory,tolerance,potency...i would onl discuss abt 2;kaspersky and avast and use it to draw comparisons for your understanding
KASPERSKY..i have been using it for over 8yrs now...there are 2 versions:KAV/KIS..i use kav cuz its lighter in memory,very potent and has good tolerance for even "false positives"...kis is technical,it you dont set the parameters well then ur like to experience the kinda problems you are facing expecially when using the internet
AVAST..its a heavy,no nonsense AV that leaves nothing to chance....once if flags a file as a threat,its directive is to destroy so even when a system file is infected,e no send....it must delete-leaves nothing to chance then your system becomes unstable thereby forcing prob no2(invalid entries) ie when the system is looking for the file to load,it becomes unavailable and its start cycling .
another main problem is that its default setting is to scan a file upon execution ie anytime,u are opening any file,it must scan if first (this is the main reason a lot of people have complained in the past that their system crashed(its arguable not a proven fact)but its a liable cause...
5....startup programs/services loaded into the memoty....when u have a lot of application running on startup then a larger portion of the memory is used up even before u start opening your applications..
6..malware..when ur system becomes infected,its operations may have been compromised..infact,from your complaint(the ad popping up)...u may have been hit by an ADWARE causing it to pop up or redirect u to the authors site..u may have hit a banner with a fancy header saying "wizkid beats linda ikeji)...whick u click on it then ur sysetm becomes infected(clickjacking)...a strong av is always recommemnded..i use KAV2016+malwarebytes(premium version)+malwarebytes anti-ransomware+exploit...thats like fbi+opc+cia protecting my system(sorry i forgot to mention lagos metro police.. ;Dwetin them wan catch,make them just they support)
goodnight..feeling sleepy!

im not an internet explorer fan,,,i just searched and i dont think they have it for explorer..most companies dont really make 3 party programs for windows cuz its owned by microsoft(they tend to always have their own programs to rival such applications)besides,in this age and time,most people dont use ie when you have many browsers faster and better..
u can call me for quicker responses on 08061679732...
u can format the system since u wont be able to follow instructions accurately and so we save time...(ur really a novice,,,i cld see ow much u have been battling with only a search on google)..next time your search keywords should be: download ublock origin for internet explorer or internet explorer:download ublock origin......
how to construct your search index on google makes it return the best results

so much for your diy...funny tin is that the pple here that encourage your quest will never answer or condemn ur act.....i doubt if u know what you are doing
corrections:
there is no way on planet earth that you can use the attrib command to hide an account talkless an admin account..there are just 2-3 ways to do that and attrib aint one...from dos,the right command is net user..
attrib command is for files and folders...and a +h is all u need..
so maybe u can trackback what u really did..
as for yor access denied prob,u used -r(not read only)ok
-s(no system file)ok!
-a(no access)not ok....u have set the files attribute to no access..so what were u expecting..u locked the files..
i wld only give u a clue on what todo so u can continue ur adventure....
elevate your current user account to administrator then change the attributes to full control or elevate to "power user" that way,and only that way can u inherit the rights of the previous profile holding the files....
option 2...remove the hard drive and slave to a system with the step 1 rights
option 3...the very famous option for "wannabes" or pple that quit easily...REFORMAT THE SYSTEM
thats how i learnt...goodluck

Guys help pls

My hp probook 4515s is showing disk error evrytime i boot
Wit displaying any oda tin
Pls ur idea and wat to do

your hard drive is faulty either from a physical damage or a failing drive....
but there is good and bad news!
GOOD NEWS:i guess your S.M.A.R.T(Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System) is either off or not existing..or probably u have been ignoring the message....the smart would have been reporting to u of an "imminent damage" and would advise u to backup ur files and replace....
another possible cause is SHOCK..u need to always protect ur system from hitting hard walls,objects by putting them deep in laptop bags and not school bags or any protective bag....
see the internal diagram of a hard drive below to understand when u have the error from one of the possible cause i mentioned..the biger the hard drive,the more the platters u have arranged on top of each other separated by 1actuator arm each...each arm consists of a read/write head...failure of those head would result in a possible "disk error" ie shock may force the arm,head to shift or stop working..
BAD NEWS:only jesus saves and can wake the dead
but he empowered some of us to go into the world to continue great tins...i can revive the hard drive if its not "physically damaged"

@ bolded part, you should use the minus sign to undo, and not the plus sign. Also, make sure you run the command from an elevated command prompt (run as administrator).

Always try to get your drivers from the official HP website.

To fix the problem, use System Restore to revert to a previous point in time before the update. Your personal data will be preserved. However, apps and drivers that were installed since the last restore point will be uninstalled, and apps that were uninstalled might be restored.

You can follow the steps in the link below.

Anytime that I'm working with my Toshiba laptop. A dialog box will just pop up saying "Toshiba work station is not working" then the system restart itself please can somebody tell me what the problem is.

It sounds like an unstable Toshiba-related service.

Try the following.

Open Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and double-click System Configuration.

In System Configuration, click the Services tab.

In the lower left area, click the check-box that says, "Hide all Microsoft services."

Now look through the list of services for any one that is Toshiba-related. When you find any, click the check-box to disable it.

Click OK. Reboot the computer.

If you mean that it takes too long to start-up, then it is usually as a result of some start-up apps and/or services initializing in the background. Try disabling them.

Boot into Safe Mode and see if the same thing happens.

Try updating your graphics drivers.

It could be a broken wire -- take it to an Engineer near you for physical inspection.
