Quintuple:
Pls help me deal with this stubborn virus called "secured by kaspersky internet security 20101"
It created folder and hid all my files.
I have kaspersky antivirus in my system but the above quote kept on appearing in whatever external drive i attach to my system

Hello.

Ha!! That's a TROJAN
Last year, I had a virus of a similar name. Ok, almost same except mine ended with "2017" instead of "20101".
You know the painful part? when you google the statement, genuine kaspersky adverts and websites get shown. looks like its creators really knew their game!!

Now you're going to follow the below instructions detail by detail...... I cant guarantee you'll get your files back
The following guide was copied verbatim from https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/070ad99d-319c-46a7-acf7-58a3ffbbb0d7/thumb-drive-cannot-show-content?forum=win10itprogeneral

TROJAN: <name>#GB(Secured by Kaspersky Internet Security 2017).bat
=====

How to test if your PC is infected?
=====

a.Get an empty thumb drive or flash drive
b.Format it.
c.There shouldn't be any files in the thumbdrive after you've formatted it.
d.If you find 2 files:
<name>#GB(Secured by Kaspersky Internet Security 2017).bat and Readme. You're infected...!

How to clean? (You must be connected to the internet until step 4).
=====

1. Install CCleaner: Get it here --> https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
1.1 Run the Cleaner menu to clean your PC from internet cache, temp files etc.
1.2 Run the Registry menu to clean your registry. No need to backup registry.
1.3 Run the Tools>>Startup. If you see this: *\AppData\Roaming\Kaspersky Internet Security 2017. You're infected.


2. Install Norton Power Eraser: Get it here--> https://security.symantec.com/nbrt/npe.aspx
2.1 Run it. It'll run rootkit scan and ask to restart.
NPE will find 3 entries of virus or more. Choose Create restore point if you can. (sometimes you can't). Delete the virus.
PC will restart.
2.2 After restarting, NPE will run again.
Most of the time NPE will detect another 1 or 2 *.exe infected files.
Send it to cloud (there's these cute cloud icons ).
NPE will suggest you delete those files. Delete them.
If somehow NPE doesn't run after restarting the PC, run NPE and scan again

3. Install adwcleaner. Get it here--> https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/
3.1 Click Run Scan for Adware/PUPs.
You'll see these: PUP.Optional.Legacy, [Key] -HKU or HKCU or HKLM.
Reboot to clean.
Do it.
You'll see Deleted: [Key] - HKU or HKCU or HKLM.

YOUR PC IS CLEAN!!!

Just to be sure.
Run CCleaner
Run the Tools>>Startup.
If you see one string of *\AppData\Roaming\Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 just delete it.
Mission accomplished.

STILL CANNOT FIND THE FILES IN YOUR THUMBDRIVE?
=====

1.Open My Computer.
Go here or type system volume information.
<Thumbdrive letter>:\System Volume Information

All your hidden files are here.

2. Copy files you wanted to save onto your desktop. Copy don't CUT.
3. Paste in new folder on desktop.
4. Format your thumbdrive.
5. Copy back to your thumbdrive.



One more thing.

Done.
=====

All files are free.

Achor1111:
Pls help, how can l delete junk files on my PC, it is slowing down like snails.

Hi.

First of all this is gonna be long. Just kidding;it'll be interesting.

Ok! Enough of that.

There are pretty much a few places you can look at when you're talking of speeding up your laptop. They are;

1.The Hard Disk: So everything happens on the hard disk- the files you open, the games you play,the copying and pasting, the programs you run even your very windows is on the hard disk.

So each time you do any of these, fragments are left on different locations on the hard drive (fragmentation) making the programs and files slower to access.
For a faster access, you need to defragment your hard drive.

Defragmentation is a process where you pull up those files together in a sing spot making hem faster to access

If you're on win 7
Right Click on the ":C" drive > Properties > click on tools > "Defragment now" > The disk defragmenter window opens > Click on "analyse disk" button then > this generates how fragmented the disk is in percentages > Click the defragment button.

Free up some space too
Now those activities I earlier mentioned can also cause the space on your hard drive to deplete. Oh yes!! All those movies you refuse to delete you see your life now?- in lasisis voice- Oya its time to let go some of it...yeah sorry ...to free up some space.

If you have Progams you no longer need, please delete them...you're not a warehouse


2. RAM
Increasing the RAM is also another option. usually increasing RAM size increases the chunk of data that the it can hold per time. Check with a technician to see if your system can accomodate another RAM.

4. Efizzy
All those visual effects, the slides and drops , name it. they tell both on the system memory and processor. Turning off visual effects can surprisingly boost the speed with which you navigate your windows- win 10 users are you here??

5. Startup
here are some programs that are designed to run once your computer starts up. This can actually suck some speed from your PC. Well, you can disable these programs from running during start up by;

Typing 'msconfig' in the start box > the system configuration window opens> click the 'startup' tab > uncheck the programs that you know. once done they will no longer start once you boot up the laptop.

Hope this helps

**cheers**

Kings1930:
please how can i do that?

well, First if you don't have the driver in the form of a file stored in a flash drive or disk you'll need the internet.

Second, since you don't have the Wi-Fi to access the internet via wireless hotspot, you'll need a modem.

If you don't have a modem, you'll need to use the USB tethering feature of your android phone.

OK, so now that you're connected to the internet, update the wireless drivers of your laptop using any of the 2 methods below.

Method 1
On the desktop,right click on my computer , this takes you to the system properties. In the system properties window, click on the device manager in the list of options to the left of the window (located towards the top left corner)

Once in device manager, right click on the network adapter ,in the drop down, right click on the network controller > "automatically search for drivers". Your W-Fi driver(s) will be automatically installed.

[b]Method 2
Visit the manufacturers site of your laptop. If you use hp, that's hp.com.
Once on the website, you should look for their "drivers and support" pages wherein you'll be asked to provide your laptop model name or Serial number. After you must have clicked OK, a list of all the drivers for you device will be rolled out- you are looking for the wireless drivers. once spotted, download and install.

hope this helps.


*Cheers*

Kings1930:
Please help.. since i upgrade my laptop to window 10 it refuse to detect any wifi network

Hello.
Install the wireless device driver.

*Cheers*

MrRitchie:
let me give u 20k

What?!?

skywalker495:
How much will it cost to fix, in either scenario?
Laptop's a Dell vostro 2521 model

There are two series of 2125.

The first one is looking a bit bulky and uses a regular led display. Cost to fix is 17k

The second one is looking kinda slimmer and uses a slim diaplay (AKA Paper screen). Cost to fix is 18k

Although, those quotes are for brand new screens. You save a few thousand bucks if you opt for used. And if you're able to fix your self? Voila!! Extra savings again.

*Cheers*

winzy:
Please na
Help. Me

Hello winzy.

I'd like you to first, stop using your laptop this way! Sudden power cuts can damage your hard drive (90% chance) or corrupt the OS.

Most likely the battery is gone. The White light is a general indication that a charger has been plugged in.

However, the only way to be sure is trying another battery on it. If the issue persists, then the problem is from the MOBO.

So, let's be sure.

I have a couple Pavilion 15 batteries you can lay your hands in and try them on your PC. Alternatively, you can try out in a shop that sells laptop batteries.

*Cheers.*

I'm on WhatsApp: 08128714767

The title says it All...

Shall we begin

Dlee1:
I prefer 8760w instead of 8560w. 17inches preferable...

Alright then

Dlee1:
Good day Razak,
I have heard what you said but the bolded though, don't you think it is on a high side? Well let me save more and contact you when am ready but let me tell you at the same time that you inflated the price of that lappy.

Loll
@1TB/8GB ? Naaah I didn't.

*Cheers*

...and happy savings...

Dlee1:
hello Razak5,
I have been planning to ask you if it will be possible for you to sell me HP Elitebook 8760W or Dell Precision M6600 with core i5 and without screen, HDD, RAM, Network card, Bluetooth card since I have a dead HP Pavilion DV 7 1128a Entertainment. I want to use those items mentioned above from my dead laptop to replace the one on the laptop you will sell to me if it is possible for you to do so. If it is possible, please kindly let me know the price.

Hello Dlee1

1.The screen has a module, so it's not going to be useful.

2. HDD and RAM ( If they are PC3 will still be useful). In some cases, if the RAM isn't PC3L, they will be of no use.

3.Wireless and Bluetooth modules will not work.


Instead of going through all those hassle,

How about HP Elitebook 8560w, Intel Core i5, 1TB/4gb, 2gb NVIDIA Graphics @145k ?

*Cheers*

udemzyudex:
Since you don't want to replace the keyboard use the mouse

Yes o.
Although if he wants to still perform simple operations like "Win+R" or "Win+E" , then .....

Hello.

@2ballz, we need to know the direction the sound is coming from .

@eskorbrown, does the capslock light blink? How many times?

Kayzybaba:
The hinges have broken off

If the metal is still intact , it's 6k
If the metal is broken, it's 8k

All these are negotiable depending on the degree of damage.

Kayzybaba:
pls I want to fix my laptop hinges. how much

Hi.
How badly affected is the hinges?

Hello. Morning everyone.

@odizeey, @geatestboss.
Diagnosis, diagnosis, diagnosis.... This takes away at least 90% plus of doubts from a certain issue. Take to a technician.


@youngmayor02, we need to see the picture of the said hp15. That series doesn't help(most times) when it comes to getting the hinges.

@okunade55, rather than get a complete bottom case, which will cost like 1/10 the cost of the laptop, why don't you take to @udemzyudex advise of having it properly fixed? Costs up to 1/20 the cost of the PC

Note; many who have the complete bottom might not want to sell just the down plate!! Being a recent laptop.

Although, the picture you sent does not truly reflect the status of the bottom plate. However I believe it's fixable.

@morningstar55
Envy m6 full carcass is available. But it's brand new. Touchpad flex is not available.
Do you mind a used one that's not looking so fresh?

*Cheers everyone*

LorenzoKane:
I have a HP pavilion g6 laptop for sale. Battery is weak, screen in good condition. HDD is also failing. Can you give me a price you could buy this? I'm in Lagos.

Hi.
On average you can sell for 30k in computer village. Battery and hard drive is another 20k to 25k. The person will then sell for 55k to 60k.

You'll get a buyer easily if you have a receipt.

*Cheers*

COOL10:
. I see very little or nothing. It's mostly a white background

... Most likely the display...You might need to start thinking of screen replacement...
*Cheers*

COOL10:
Good evening people. Ok,so my Acer laptop has been faulty for about a week now. It started with a black/blue screen of death. I tried reseating the RAM and it later got on after many trials. But........ It came on with horizontal colored lines blurring half the screen. Whether it's an LCD Cable problem or not I don't know. Some days back I put it on and found some thick blue line splayed across the top right corner of the laptop. Being confused right now is an understatement. I just pray it's not a screen problem. Pls help

Hello.

What was the state if the screen before the BSOD?

... and do you still see images and characters even with the "blue line spray" ?

AlhajiWale:
I removed the battery still no show. Pls how do I detect where the Ram?

Upload a pix of the bottom of your laptop
