Good Morning y'All First post, and my computer skill is limited. I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed, it is fully uptodate and am running Windows 7 - 64-bit. How do I remove the ExstraCoupon Virus from my computer and stop it from re-contaminating? It constantly pops up with annoying and intrusive advertisements; a real pain. So far I have been unable to find where the virus is hiding on my hard disk - it does not appear in the Control Panel - Programs - Uninstall a Program listing But there is a listing in Internet Options - Programs - Manage Add Ons - Toolbars and Extensions as ExxsettraCoupoaono but it will not allow me to di…

I have a VPS which is ran on a OpenVZ, which obviously doesn't have any sound cards installed, I know this is possible because I've seen it done before but the person refuses to tell me how it's done not to interfere with his business. I can't do commands such as Code: [root.website tmp]# modprobe snd-dummy WARNING: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab083.2/updates/alsa/acor e/snd.ko): Operation not permitted WARNING: Error inserting snd_timer (/lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab083.2/updates/als a/acore/snd-timer.ko): Operation not permitted WARNING: Error inserting snd_pcm (/lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab083.2/updates/alsa/ acore/snd-pcm.ko): Operation not pe…

I am having a routing issue. I have an IPSEC tunnel that goes from 172.16.0.4->192.168.1.1. From the PC (172.16.0.4) that is hosting the tunnel, I can reach anything on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Likewise, from any machine on the 172.16.0.0/24 subnet I can reach 192.168.1.0/24. However, from my 172.16.1.0/24 subnet, I am unable to reach 192.168.1.0/24 despite the static route on the gateway. Below is my routing table on the gateway: 50.243.53.224/29 dev br0 proto kernel scope link src 50.243.53.225 192.168.1.0/24 via 172.16.0.4 dev virbr1 172.16.0.0/24 dev virbr1 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.0.1 172.16.1.0/24 dev br1 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.…

Hi, Here is the issue I experience. I want to do a CentOS 6.5 or RHEL 6.5 in a Boot From SAN configuration. The server is a BL460c Gen 8 with Emulex 554FLB (iSCSI HBA). I boot the server via PXE on a kickstart/DHCP server. I have already a kickstart server working like a charm for a usual installation on local RAID 1 array. If I perform the installation on the local RAID1 array of the server, it works fine. I have modified my PXE boot to add the following parameters to the initrd.img loading: - mpath - linux However, when anaconda is running, it doesn�t find any device corresponding to the SAN LUN ! When I do ALT + F4, I have checked that be2iscsi dri…

Apple might be preparing to offer new fullscreen, video iAds that play automatically. Described as TV commercial-like "interstitials," the ads would interrupt whatever a user was doing in an app at the time. Given Apple's emphasis on user experience, it's more likely that the ads will appear after something is completed in an app, for instance when a user reaches the end of a level in a game. Apple has had trouble attracting advertisers to its iAd program, and these new ads may be an effort to grab their attention, according to Ad Age: The in-app video ads may be a way for Apple to rekindle advertisers' interests in its fancy-but-flawed iAds. The ad product line was…

Apple is reportedly looking at expanding Siri partnerships, potentially for iOS 8, as is a small screen version of the interface that could work on something the size of the rumored iWatch. Amir Efrati and Jessica Lessin writing for The Information: Apple is working on ways to improve the search capabilities of Siri, its virtual assistant, by allowing it to point users to third-party apps, according to people familiar with the effort. That requires Siri to better understand what each app does. Today, Siri can do things like search for the weather or look up information over the Web. But iPhone users can’t ask Siri to book a car or hotel reservation, or send a messag…

OnLive is the game service that lets Mac users play games that haven't been released for the Mac yet. The service works by streaming instances of the game remotely through OnLive's cloud service, making it playable on Macs, PCs and Android tablets. OnLive made a big splash at its announcement in 2009, even launching its own set top box console that enabled OnLive players to play on their TV. But by 2012 the company had crashed and burned, laying off employees and entering into an "Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors" (a bankruptcy alternative) which saw it handed off to VC firm Lauder Partners. Now the company is back, this time with two new services called CloudLi…

Couple of months ago I purchased a Surface RT with £25 App voucher. Although I can buy the apps, it keeps asking me for a code. More recently, it comes up with a 'call us over protective' message and again asks fo this code. Problem is, the email that it says it will send the code to is not mine although close. It tells me that I my email address id 'qw*************@hotmail.com.' It should be 'w**********************@hotmail.com'. I had a similar message come up when logging into this forum although I am posting this from my main PC. The message said I could bypass this security but only once. Help would be appreciated.

* Original Title: HomeGroup access I recently had a virus on my computer, and had to have the system restored. I'm signed is with my Microsoft user account and on the correct (only) network. I am the only person that uses the computer, so am also administrator. When I go to my HomeGroup, it shows it, but I cannot access anything as it says have to join it. It acts as if I did not create it in the 1st place! And the password I have always used, says it is incorrect. There is no option to Leave the HomeGroup, and the option to change the password does not allow access. What can I do? Continue reading...
