I have a virus in my local disk c and if i format it will it delete the virus?

Formatting does not overwrite the disk data. It may be possible to recover information off a formatted hard drive. If you want to erase all the data off your hard drive so it can not be recovered, including viruses you need to overwrite the entire disk.

"You can find out the manufacturer of your HD and then attempt to download the formatting tool created by that manufacturer for their HD's. Most HD Mnufactuer have a Zero Fill Low level formatting tool available to erase their HD products. This will clean any existing OS files from your system as well as any viruses other files etc.."

I have a virus in my local disk c and if i format it will it delete the virus?
Yes reformatting your c drive will remove all data, including virus-if it not in your random access memory. You could first try a virus remover like norton ot mcafee.


Good luck.

Reply:Yes. It will remove the virus along with everything else on your computer. It should be a last resort to reformat your pc. I hope you have backed up your files.
Reply:no it will remain their you have to remove it by sending to another place
Reply:yep........it takes everything out......everything is still recoverable....unless u do a low-level format...u might wanna try these to get rid of that virus first instead of losing all ur info......

How to delete an empty slot in an array in c++?

about the only way is:





char myarray[10] = "abcdefghi";


int count;





say you want to get rid of (or delete) the g in the above array





for (count = 6; count %26lt; 8; count++)


___myarray[count] = myarray[count + 1];





now myarray contains "abcdefhi"





just a simple example of how to do it.

How to delete an empty slot in an array in c++?
Element that has been created as in an Array can’t be deleted from the memory. It’s not like a train that you remove any block from the train line.





You want to remove it, why? You want to safe memory? If yes, try to use linked list instead of using array. In linked list, it likes an Array but each node or each element is declared when to be used and you can remove it when you don’t want anymore.





Linked List is not a program; it’s one kind of data structure. Array is one kind of data structure and Linked List is the better data structure.





You need some code, see this.
Reply:please can you provide more details, what do you mean by empty slot, does it contain 0 or some junk value. what is the domain of your array actually.
Reply:You can't "delete" an element of an array. What you want is a VECTOR, here's the syntax:


#include %26lt;vector%26gt;


vector%26lt;int%26gt; myVector();


// from now out you can use it like an array e.g myVector[5]=0


//to "delete" an element use myVector.erase(position);


Should i delete hot fix unistallers from my pc using c cleaner, or do i need these files on my computer?

You only need those files if you were to uninstall the hot fix (hence their name). If your Windows runs fine after an update say 5 restarts and solid run times. You can delete those files because hey you know they work and you aren't going to remove them otherwise why risk corrupting core os files.

How to delete all the elemnts in an array in c++?
Repeat to yourself as many times as it takes, that an array is a pointer..an array is a pointer..





Arkangyl presents a method to create/delete a dynamically created array - that may or may not be what you want to do. Your question isn't clear enough.





Say your array is defined and declared in your code:


Foo foo_array[10]


This array is static, and you cannot change its size at runtime.





If these aren't answering your question, you may not be asking in your question what you think you are.
Reply:Unless you've designed some new data type, an array IS a pointer. If you allocated an array of objects using 'new', you can deallocate them as follows:





Foo *foo_array;





foo_array = new Foo[10]; // the allocation


delete[] foo_array; // the deallocation





If you can give more details regarding the situation, I could give a better answer.


Is there anyway to delete a hot mail account(not my hotmaila/c) for good from msn hotmail a?c list?

Actually, even if you can "delete" access to an account, unless the hard drive where it is stored is wiped clean/erased properly the info is still there until i gets overwritten o few times. Now you have to be good to get it back but I once had all my deleted mail reloaded into my account - like magic - what a pain going through and deleting it all again. All these "providers" have massive storage capabilities so almost any data that has ever been on line still "exists" - You are being watched :)). If you are talking about deleting someone else be prepared to pay the price as you may get charged with an illegal activity . . . (but it's ok for big brother LOL - well not so funny but true . . .

How do I delete some screensavers to make room on my C drive?

Screensavers aren't going to be taking up too much space, usually something around a KB or two. So unless you haev thousands, I'd suggest finding something else to delete.

How do I delete some screensavers to make room on my C drive?
use ccleaner to tidy junk up...all the windows screensavers arent more than 2mb so wont change a lot......you may have installed some extra ones in which case find the in add/remove programs or under Programs and Features in vista
Reply:They are .scr files located in the Windows/system32 directory. As the previous answerer has said, they aren't usually very big so you'd have to delete a large number to have an impact on disc space. Try running a disk cleanup routine like CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/download





There are others available (all free):





http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_...
Reply:Do a search for files that end in ".scr" Those are screen saver files and then delete them as you would any other file.





Have fun
Reply:You can't delete screensavers that easily. They are integrated into the system's display properties and it s very difficult to find the link that leads directly to the screensaver's file. Even with search, you still cannot gain access.





Besides, screensavers don't consume that much storage space. Each screensaver file consumes less than 100KB which shouldn't be of nobody's concern. If you want to free up storage space, may I suggest that you uninstall any programs or software which you no longer use and then defrag your hard disk. That way, not only would you free up storage space, you could also speed up the entire system. If you do manage to delete the screensavers, you'll only free up little space which seems quite pointless. You should uninstall the big programs which consumes more than 1MB or more.

How do you delete the last element of a string in C++?

If you actually mean a C++ string object, then the above answer is the best way to handle it.





If you really mean a classic C string (null-terminated character array), the easiest and fastest way to "remove" the last character of such a string is to put another, earlier null terminator in that last non-null position:





----------------


s1[strlen(s1) - 1] = '\0';


----------------





(Yes, I know that the first solution works for a classic C string too through the magic of copy constructors and conversion operators. However, in this particular case, implicit use of the string object functions is both more complicated and less efficient than the C-only solution.)

How do you delete the last element of a string in C++?
s1 = s1.substr(0, s1.length() - 1);


Removing a/c from a ranger.?

ive ripped out all the a/c other than the compressor. im wondering if i need an a/c delete pulley or if i can just run a belt from a ranger with no a/c, and if i dont need the a/c delete pulley whats the point of them being on the market? thanks.

Removing a/c from a ranger.?
You can just install a belt that is made for a Ranger with the same engine without A/C


The only purpose of a A/C delete pulley is so you can still use your existing Belt.


A program in c........?

i ran a program in c:





#include%26lt;stdio.h%26gt;


#include%26lt;conio.h%26gt;


int main()


{


int a,b,c;


char ch;


printf("enter the values");


scanf("%d %d",%26amp;a,%26amp;b);


printf("press + for addition\n\n press- for subtraction");


printf("press * for multiplication\n\npress / for division");


printf("enter your choice");


ch=getchar();//note this step





switch(ch)


{


case'+':c=a+b;


printf("sum=%d",c);


break;





case'-':c=a-b;


printf("difference=%d",c);


break;





case'*':c=a*b;


printf("product=%d,c);


break;





case'/':c=a/b;


printf("division=%d",c);


break;





default:


printf"wrong choice";


break;





}


getch();


return 0;


}


the problem is that the output of this program prints the default statement without waiting for the user to enter a choice....why??


also plzzz tell me how is ansi c different from normal c....say from turbo c??? delete

A program in c........?
I do too: when you scanf the values, that function (scanf) leaves the carriage-return (= you pressing ENTER) in the buffer. You expect to getchar() one of the operators, but instead you read that carriage return...
Reply:Yeah, you need to fflush() before you getch()
Reply:i know it
Reply:I took a quick look at your program (so I might have skipped something...) and it seems just fine. Maybe you need to clean the keyboard buffer for sometimes pressing certain keys sends more than one signal and the programs takes it as if you already pressed something.





To do that insert this line:





printf("enter your choice");


fflush(stdin); //%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;this one


ch=getchar();





About your other question... ANSI is an organization dedicated to the creation of standards, thus ANSI C is the standarized version of C programming language... as far as I know that is normal C... a different thing might be C++ which is object oriented and uses "cin" instead of "scanf" for example.





Turbo C is a program to edit and compile C programs... a program to make programs.
Reply:This is because we press the enter key after the scanf inputs are given this gets stored in the stdin buffer the getchar takes this as an input and shows the default value as answer.The best way is to clear the stdin buffer before executing the getchar statement.


ie:


fflush(stdin);


ch=getchar();

I want a objects destructor to call a method of another object to delete its pointer to me. Its in C++?

The other objects has a list of pointer to objects like the main, the main objects tell the other its addres and the object deletes it from its list

I want a objects destructor to call a method of another object to delete its pointer to me. Its in C++?
Here's a brief, overly simple example of that using cars and garages. The Car's destructor removes itself from the garage.





class car


{


~car() { myGarage-%26gt;deleteCar(this); }





Garage* myGarage;


}





class Garage


{


public:


list%26lt;Car*%26gt; myCars;





void deleteCar(Car* carToDelete) { myCars.remove(carToDelete); }


}


Im going to formate my hard drive and found out that i have two local c and system_sav d can i delete them?

It might be a good idea to find out what is on the d partition. Most Dell high end pc's come from the factory with an image of ur c/drive O.S. which makes it very easy and quick to reinstall ur windows O.S. U don't want to reformat that if u have it because once u loose it, it can't be replaced. Clik start%26gt;right clik my computer%26gt;clik manage%26gt;clik disc management and it will show all ur partitions, then right clik the d partition and it shud give u some idea whats on it. If there's nothing u need on the d partition this is the place to delete it. Then insert ur windows disc (make sure u can boot from ur rom) and in the installation process windows will reformat ur drive for u. just follow it along and answer a few questions.

Since you have 2 partitions (C: and D:), when you are trying to format, it will ask you which drive you want to format.





C: will contains your OS, windows, linux, etc...





If you feel that there is no need to format your D: drive, you can always format the C: alone.

It's a trojan. Nobody needs a trojan (unless you want it for sentimental reasons). You can safely delete it.
Reply:Check online. Look up the file on google. There are a number of Anti-Virus softwares that produce false positives and you really could be deleting a necessary system file. Anything that is in that directory is normally pretty important and deleting them can cause you to crash your computer, and if you are not computer savy or dont have a system disk, this can mean a spendy tech bill to fix. If it is quarentined, then it cant do harm. If it is a virus, there will be posts on line. Norton / Symantic are both notorious for false positives. Also, you can scan with other antivirus softwares and see if there are multiple hits on it. I personally recomend AdAwareSE by Lavasoft and Spybot: Search and Destroy. These two are not known for false positives, and do a decent job of removing and finding the nasties. Both can find non standard viruses or new versions of them, and if not stop them, they can at least find them, and give you an idea of what they are so you can get a removal tool that will.

Before you do this you could save any other emails you wish to keep in a folder. The best way is to create an Old Emails folder in My Documents. When you start up using the new account you should be free of the offending email.

I don't see why you would want to delete these files. You see, from that folder, you get all of your other files (sub directories), that have important information. I suggest you delete the subdirectories you don't need; instead.

How do you delete the items in an array in c++? (an example would be appreciated.?

These are the 2 possible ways





Sentinel Value :


-------------------------------


Declare a sentinel to indicate if the value at a position is deleted or not.





1. Assume that an array can hold +ve integer values


2. if u want to delete array[10] then


just change its values to a -ve value ( -1 for example )


3. So when traversing the array if u encounter a -ve value it means that the value is deleted.





Shift %26amp; Mark :


-------------------------------


Use a variable to indicate the end of array.





1. Ur Array holds 100 values currently so


Array_End = 99 ( 0 - 99 = 100 )


2. If u want to delete array[31] then


Shift Array[31] = Array[32] = Array[33] ... Array[Array_End];


( i:e u shift the array contents to the left )


3. Update the Array_End to point 1 position to the left


( Array_End --)





These are static ideas of deleting array values.


But to have a dynamic control u need to use the new / delete operator or use a link list as an array.





Hope this helps u in getting an idea.

How do you delete the items in an array in c++? (an example would be appreciated.?
u sud do it in dynamic form ie use pointer

Lately I've been trying to figure out what's eating up the space on my HDD, and I did a search for files over 100000KB to find out which files are eating up what little space I have on my 30GB hard drive. I discovered that the major space eating files were ones without a file ending, like "example.txt", but the files don't have an ending like .txt or anything else like it attached to them. If a screen dump of the search results, please let me know and I'll email it to you. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Is it safe to delete files like "_Za0...." from in the C:\CFGSAFE\QCINIT\.... folder?
That folder dont sound to important to me but that also might be a folder that a program you run uses, so if you delete it and a program decides its not going to work anymore. Well i guess ull just have to reinstall it. But as far is it effecting your operation system. that wount harm it at all.
Reply:create a new file directory, move them to that, and if everything works OK you don't need them, then you could copy them to a CD just in case you need them one day

How to delete "old" Norton 360(is bad) at C:\Program Files, because I am trying for "new" Norton 360 CD

Nortons is a real nightmare to delete. Nortons leaves behind about 375 fragments, glued to all your files, folders, registry and hidden all over your system. When you go to add/remove you only think that Nortons has been removed. The fragments are still left and will cause you conflict with your system.





Here is a link for free software, Delete Doctor 2.1 that I use. This program will delete any write protected dll, file, folder, etc. etc. (If you follow the instructions will work 100%, as I have deleted write protected files, folders %26amp; dll's.





http://www.download3k.com/Install-Delete...





When you install the program open "browse", and search c://progam files for Nortons or the the other name used that start with "S". When you find Nortons, open logo, and continue to open until you have the same logo for Nortons that is on your monitor. Then you will add this logo to Delete Doctor. Then you double click on "delete with next reboot". Reboot your pc.





Now open start, run and type in: c://program files, and double click on browse, and open program files, and look for Nortons, file, open and delete the file.





Now you want to go back to start, search, type in Nortons, %26amp; their other name with "S", seperate, scans, an anything that is found delete from the top down. Perform the scan wtih both names.





You can also download after the above is completed, a free software that is excellent. CCleaner. http://www.ccleaner.com Clean your HDD, and then clean your registry for issues. Any issue found will be backed up to your documents with the registry keys.





Hope this helps you as my english is not that good





Minddoctor, France





PS


Here is a free state of the art technology antivirus program that is light years ahead of Nortons.





Here is an excellent free antivirus program from AOL, Active Virus Shield powered by Kaspersky Lab of Russia. Rated # 1 in the world for virus detection. You will get auto updates every hour on the hour, plus an excellent background scanner that really works great. AOL, will only ask you for your email so they can send you a free key good for one year. After one year just request a new key.

Format the other drive, if you do not delete the default one (the one in the C Drive) than you should be fine. Be warned that you will lose all files in the drive you format if you do this.
Reply:If you need the files on the drive, open the drive, find the XP folder and delete it. Then run a program like ccleaner to clean up your registry.

Everytime you install a Windows Update, an uninstaller program is included - just in case the update crashes your computer. You can safely remove them if you are sure the updates are working fine.

Dear you cannot delete windows folder from c: since by default c: is the primary partition which is the active partition. so if at all you want to delete the windows folder you have to format that drive ie c: using a CD any windows operating system xp,2000,2003...after formating that drive you can install the operating system as per your need formating that drive doesn't mean that you will lose your data in other drives you will lose only the data of c:

I found this folder on my C drive. What is it? Can I delete it?
yeah why not, if it is needed your computer will come up with a kernel error
Reply:Open it up and see what is inside. If it is files you know of, keep it.





If it is empty, it may be a virus, or, something else. Quarantine it.
Reply:I have no idea what it is, but try deleting it, then before you empty your recycle bin, make sure that everything works ok. If it does, then you didn't need it. If something doesn't work, then that file is necessary, %26amp; you should restore it before you empty your recycle bin.
Reply:It is to something in your dynamic link library. do not elet it, unless you want windows to stop working.
Reply:I think it may be a temporary decompression folder, from installing a service pack or something. However, do not delete! You should never tinker with anything that you didn't put there yourself, unless you are *absolutely* certain of what it is. If you post a list of the files inside, I might be able to tell what it is.





Update: It looks like a decompression folder for Microsoft .NET Framework -- the update might have been interrupted. Feel free to delete.

It's probably a false positive, but Kaspersky is pretty good at what it does, so it may be true. Go here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/winfi... and download a new copy of rundll.exe (be sure to get the one for your version of Windows), and let Kaspersky delete your old copy. Then replace it with the new copy, it goes in C:\WINDOWS\system32.





If you're unable to delete the old rundll.exe, use Unlocker: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ but install Unlocker before you try to delete the old file and then replace it with the new one IMMEDIATELY.
Reply:It's a vulnerable component..


rundll32.exe is a process which executes DLL's and places their libraries into the memory, so they can be used more efficiently by applications. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.





Note: rundll32.exe is a process registered as a backdoor vulnerability which may be installed for malicious purposes by an attacker allowing access to your computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet banking and personal data. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system.





Note: rundll32.exe could also be a process which belongs to the . This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.





This program is part of Windows, used to run program code in DLL files as if it were an actual program. However, many viruses also use this name or similar names such as 'rundII32' (uppercase i appears the same as lowercase L in many fonts). It's also commonly used by spyware to launch its own code.





If it's infected, scan it..and remove it,.if it just altered, don't remove it.

Reply:This is the best advice money can buy, your gratitude is appreciated(you're welcome).


Follow these steps and it will remove almost all viruses and malware/spyware from your computer. It will also make your computer run faster.


.


•I know this procedure looks long, but much of this is explanatory text to help less experienced people.


•Please do not cheat by skipping any steps. You are only hurting yourself if you do. And you will waste more time. The goal is to get your PC fixed. Completing the steps in this generic guide may or may not resolve all of your malware problems, but in all cases it gets your PC into a known state to help make it easier for me to fix your problems. After completing all steps, if you still need help, please send a new question. You may have a problem trying to run steps in safe mode on user accounts that have limited priviledges. This will only be on Windows 2K, XP, %26amp; 2003 systems. Limited user accounts will not show when you boot into safe mode. You have two options, run the steps in normal boot mode which may not work to remove malware, or you can temporarily change the user account to an admin account and then complete the steps.


•0: Preliminary House Cleaning %26amp; Setup





Unistall Malware thru your computers Add?Remove program.


You MUST be sure that MSconfig is not being used to control Startups. Note: That some Window's OSs (like Win 2K) do not have MSconfig!


•MSConfig Startup Mode


Please go to Start %26gt; Run %26gt; type msconfig and click OK!


Select the General tab and select Normal Startup.


Thenclick Apply and OK and reboot PC before continuing.


Remain in this Normal Startup mode while your PC is being cleaned of malware.


1: Secondary House Cleaning





This second step of house cleaning may save a load of time later .


•Empty any quarantine folders for antivirus and antispyware applications. Make sure you do this. Logs could be huge otherwise. If you are a Symantec/Norton user make sure you empty their Norton Nprotect folder guarding the Recycle Bin. Empty your Recycle Bin


•Download and install CCCleaner


•MAKE SURE you download and avoid getting the Yahoo Toolbar version. I do not want you to install any unnecessary baggage.


•Also it is recommeded to login to all other User Accounts on the PC including the Administrator account which will only show when you boot in safe mode. Run CCleaner on each account. This can greatly reduce scan time and log sizes from the later scanning you will do below.


2: Enable viewing of hidden files, system files and file extensions





Some programs hide themselves by making their files invisible in normal Windows settings. Not doing this would allow file extensions commonly used by trojans and spyware to be hidden, for example a file ending in .exe or dll making manually finding it, if needed, difficult to impossible.








3: Do not use Multiple Antivirus Applications or Software Firewalls


•Antivirus: If you have multiple antivirus applications installed on your PC, please choose the one you prefer and uninstall all others. Do this now before continuing because you will only be asked to do it later if not done now. This does not mean online scanners. It is only referring to full antivirus applications like McAfee, Symantec, AVG, Avast, AntiVir, Kaspersky, etc.


•Firewall: Only use one software firewall. Running multiple software firewalls is unnecessary and using more than one software firewall on the same connection could cause issues with connectivity to the Internet or other unexpected behavior including excessive use of system resources which will slow down overall PC performance.


4: Downloading Tools





Download the following tools and save in your favorite download folder or create one, for example C:\Spyware Tools or C:\Downloads. ( It is not a good idea to download them to any folder within C:\Documents and Settings.) And then install, update, and configure as indicated below. Do not run the scans until later when indicated. Also DO NOT confuse the word download with the actual installation of the program. You should install all programs to their recommended (by the install program). default installation folders. First you download the files and then you install (if the program requires installation) the program. It is also a bad idea to download and save anything you need into any kind of Temp folder. Malware hides in Temp folders and standard cleaning practices will delete everything from Temp folders.





Download GetRunKey.Zip and ShowNew.Zip from the below links and extract all files from both ZIP files into a folder of their own. You can extract both ZIP files into the same folder. Like C:\MGTools While these tools will run from your Desktop, i strongly recommend that you DO NOT extract them to your Desktop. Please install them where recommended. Do not run the scans yet!!!








SpyBot - Search %26amp; Destroy


•PLEASE leave all settings at default!!!! Install, do the search for updates now and get any updates, then fix the below problem with Spybot default products. If you get an error message about "bad checksum" when trying to update, just choose a different server location. Also look for the Immunize feature in Spybot and use it. Do not use the Teatimer function. It can be a resource hog and also makes removal of certain problems more difficult. Make sure you leave the SDhelper ( IE bad download blocker) checked to install (this is the default).


•Fixing SpyBot's Ignore Products Bug: Please run SpyBot and get into the Advanced mode by selecting Mode and then Advanced mode. Then select Settings and the in the left column select Ignore Products. In the right window pane make sure the All products tab is selected. Then in that window, right click your mouse and choose "Deselect all". Now exit Spybot. We will run a scan later.


Now if running Windows XP, 2K or NT do the below. If you have Windows 95, 98, or ME skip to Downloads for Older Windows OS below. CounterSpy and AVG Antispyware will no longer run on the older Windows's OS.





CounterSpy





•If you had previously used a CounterSpy trial, you may not be able to run it again. If this is the case, then run the below AVG Antispyware Removal procedure and attach the log later.


AVG Anti-Spyware


•Only run the AVG Anti-Spyware procedure if you could not run CounterSpy. You do not need to run both of these.


Note: If you are using an older Windows OS you may not be able to run some of the above tools! So if you are running Windows 95, 98, or ME run SUPERAntiSpyware and save a log from it so you can attach it. This step is not required if you are running Windows XP, 2K or NT) HOWEVER, no matter what OS you are running, if you could not run CounterSpy or AVG Antispyware then run SuperAntiSpyware.








5: Cleaning Malware








Important Note Before continuing with the below scans:





The best method to remove malware is to do it after booting in Safe Mode with no connection to the internet possible and no browsers running. Booting in safe mode is important because best results are achieved since safe mode disables most drivers and running programs. If you cannot boot in safe mode due to the malware problem then run the scans in normal boot mode but make sure you tell us later in any messages you post.





Thus you will need to print or save these instructons locally in a text file so you can refer to them while offline. Do this before continuing!


•Reboot into safe mode


•Physically unplug your cable to the internet (even if you have dial-up, unplug modem)


•Shut down ALL unrequired applications including browsers


•Run Ccleaner with the default options to clean out temporary files. Only use the Default Scan on the Windows Tab and select Run Cleaner. Do not run any other options from other tabs.


•Run Spybot Search %26amp; Destroy and allow it to fix all that it finds. Make sure you use the Immunize feature and use the SDHelper function but do not use Teatimer.


•For Windows XP, 2K and NT users


•Run CounterSpy - Make sure you have it Quarantine all detections! Also attach the log from CounterSpy later if you still have problems. To get the log after scanning. Click View -%26gt; Spyware Scan -%26gt; View Spyware Scan History. Next click on the scan you want to view, then click view full details of scan. Right-click anywhere in the window that just opened, click on Select All, right-click again select Copy. Now open notepad and right-click anywhere in notepad and select Paste. Now Save As CounterSpy.txt. If you could not run CounterSpy for any reason, run the steps in the following link for AVG Antispyware Running AVG Anti-Spyware and allow it to fix all that it finds. Save the log as requested and attach it later if you still have problems and have to post a message requesting support.


•For Windows 95, 98 and ME users


•you should now run SuperAntiSpyware


6A: Online Virus And Trojan Scanning





Please run the below two online scanning tools and make sure you save and attach the logs later to any request for help that you post. From step 5 you should already be in safe mode but you will need to reconnect your cable now and possibly reboot and choose Safe Mode with Networking Support. If you cannot connect in safe mode for any reason (like dial-up users), run the online scanners in normal boot mode. You will need to use Internet Explorer to run these online scans. Also MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST SUN JAVA Version installed by checking against the below link which normally has the most current version. This may help prevent some problems in trying to get these online scanners to run. Before installing the current version, you should uninstall all previous versions first!!!!








*** MAKE SURE YOU RUN BITDEFENDER BEFORE PANDA ACTIVE SCAN ***


*** But if Bitdefender cannot be run then run PandaActiveScan anyway ***








Bitdefender agree to the license and then select Scan. DO NOT CHANGE THE OPTIONS TO SHOW ALL FILES SCANNED. Once Bitdefender completes the scan:





Click-on the Detected Problems tab. When the window comes up to save the report, change the Save as type: box to Text (Tab Delimited) (*.txt) and then in the File name box enter change to bdscan then click save. This will save a file named bdscan.txt in whatever folder you are currently in when you save the file (take notice of where you are at so you can find it later). This bdcan.txt file will actually contain HTML code that i can easily view later while reviewing your log. All i have to do is rename the file to bdscan.html.





If you do not follow these step, you will have an incorrect log or worse a log summary which is useless to me.





Panda ActiveScan It will only fix certain viruses and trojans. Most items found will not be fixed. When it finishes the scan click on See Report . Then in the next window click Save Report. The default report name is Activescan.txt. Just save it where you can find it so you can attach to your message when you begin a thread with a request for help. If you have any problems trying to get a PandaActiveScan log,If you use Avast antivirus and it gives you and error like below when trying to use Panda, just disable Avast while your run the scan. The error is a false positive. See the below link for more info.

besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.





firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.





download firefox for free:

When i delete the saved exel sheet from hard (saved from asp.net C#) show the file locked u cannot delete it!!

Its possible the asp.net dll file is still connecting to the sheet...which means you did not properly close the file when saving out...You can delete the file if you really want by stopping the asp.net dll....you can likely spot it in your Task Manager (running processes) and kill asp.net....dont worry by killing it here it will restart up again when you run in Visual Studio again....doing this will free up the excel file to be deleted


I hav one C++ assignment..In which I need to maintain employee record.with add delete modify display?

It is written that all data shd be stored in file


So what I need to do


how to delete data in text files tht is previously created..

I hav one C++ assignment..In which I need to maintain employee record.with add delete modify display?
In your ofstream object's open method there is an optional "mode" parameter. You can set this mode parameter to "ios::trunc" which will truncate or "erase" the contents of the file (if it exists) before writing the new content. This mode parameter can also be bitwised together with other mode options. Below is an example...





ofstream myfile;


myfile.open ("example.txt", ios::out | ios::trunc);





The example above opens example.txt for "out" operations and truncates the contents of the file before outputting the new material.





NOTE FOR OTHER ANSWERER: Probably the assignment is designed to practice file handling operations.





Good luck on your assignment!
Reply:I'm missing your point here slightly, Why would you store the data in a text file?





just write the display fresh every time the page re-loads or an update takes place or overwrite the text file with the correct file when updates are made, attempting to perform an edit on a text file could be very problematic as users can access and modify text files and your edit criteria would have to take into account every thing they could do to it that would impact your editing, too much to hassle with, just re-write it instead.


PLS HELP ME DELETING MY ACCOUNT USER NAME NISHU1072, I WANT TO DELETE MY EMAIL ID nishu5484@yahoo.c

You can ignore your account for at least 4 months and it will automatically be deleted for inactivity, or you can go about deleting it yourself.





When you terminate your account, you permanently lose all saved data and Yahoo site access associated with your ID. You’ll be deleting your email account, address book, group memberships, Y!Answers account, Y!Messenger ID, any photos you’ve uploaded, any 360 blogs you’ve posted, etc. If you're sure you want to delete your account, make sure you’re logged into the account you wish to delete and then click on this link: https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_use...





Yahoo will ask you to enter your password one last time and then you will click on the "Yes, terminate this account" button. Your entire account will then be completely %26amp; irretrievably deleted.

u should go to settings then there is a delete account there... juz press it and they will ask u a confirmation qn whether u want to delete it or not... juz click on yes... ^^
Reply:You can delete the account two ways. The first is not to log in for 4 months and Yahoo! will deactivate due to non-usage.





The second way you need to use a link. Make sure to read the link thoroughly. You are closing more than your e-mail account. Once you delete the account you will not be able to recover your account account. You will need to click the "Account Deletion" and then enter your password. The Account Deletion page will come up and at the bottom you can close the account. Here is the link.

How do i can delete window XP and format my C drive as there is no Ms DOS?

If you want to remove everything from your computer use Darik's boot and nuke. http://dban.sourceforge.net/





You could also put in a windows install disk and use fdisk to erase your drive. If you use fdisk someone that has access to the disk could potentially recover the data. darik's boot and nuke makes it pretty hard if not impossible to recover any data on the hard drive

create a boot up disc. Also you can go to the manufacture of your hard drive and download software the will help you re-partition your hard drive and delete XP off of it.
Reply:START - MY COMPUTER - Right Click on your hard drive and from drop down menu click Format.





Be warned you will lose everything so make back up copies of important files in My Documents and make sure you have all the software that came with the computer e.g. Windows XP, your CD/DVD burner and any other hardware like printer

How can i delete a specific line or update a sequential access file using c++?

is there a predefined function to delete a specific line in an SAF?

How can i delete a specific line or update a sequential access file using c++?
Not without writing out a new file. In other words, read in on one stream and write out on another.





Another technique, if the file isn't too big, is to keep it's contents in memory. THen, if changes were made you'd simply write out the new file.

If it is in temporary files then you probably arent going to need it. Download and run CCleaner regulalrly it is free and will delete temporary files for you.

Can I delete this infected file safely to kill the virus infecting it?: c:\windows\cfinduninst.exe?

I just don't want to delete it and then realize I broke my computer or made it more vulnerable for threats.

If I can't delete it, are there other routes to take?

Can I delete this infected file safely to kill the virus infecting it?: c:\windows\cfinduninst.exe?
It's best to delete it.
Reply:I don't have that file, so it probably isn't necessary. But just in case, create a system restore point (Start%26gt;All Programs%26gt;Acessories%26gt;System Tools%26gt;System Restore). Then delete the file. If your system gets messed up, simply restore your computer to the point you created. I doubt deleting the file will upset the system, but if it does you may have to boot into safe mode and then run System Restore.

How can i delete another os on my drive C if i accidentally installed 2 windows OS?

On the "unaccidental" OS (which I hope is XP), go to Control Panel -%26gt; Administrative Tools -%26gt; Computer Management.





Look for Disk Management, and find the partition containing the mistake OS [usually the UNACCIDENTAL partition is labelled 'Healthy (System)'].





Right click the MISTAKE partition and click "Delete Partition". Use with CAUTION. Don't delete the Recovery Partition (if your manufacturer installed it) by mistake!!





After that, click Start -%26gt; Run and type msconfig. Press OK. Go to the tab "BOOT.INI" and click "Check all boot paths". Remove the non-existent entry called "multi(0)disk(0)......".





WARNING: If you have used the ACCIDENTAL OS and saved files, removing the partition will remove all your documents in the ACCIDENTAL OS!

If u are using Hibernation Uncheck Hibernate option which save a lot of space.


If u enabled System Restore then disable System Restore which can give u a lot of space.

How do you assign (new) and clear (delete) space for a dynamic table of pointers in C++?

For example, take the simplest case of a table of pointers to integers.





int **table;


int nbElems;





table = new int*[nbElems];


for (int i = 0; i %26lt; nbElems; ++i)


m_neighbors[i] = 0; // just null pointers for now





// use it





delete [] table;








This doesn't work. Any ideas?

How do you assign (new) and clear (delete) space for a dynamic table of pointers in C++?
First of all, what's the value of nbElems? You need to assign a value to it before using it.





Second, where have you declared m_neighbors before you used it in the for loop?





Third, to delete a table of pointers you have to delete the objects the pointers are pointing to then delete the table itself. Do the following:





for(int i = 0; i %26lt; nbElems; i++)


{


delete table[i];


table[i] = NULL;


}





delete [] table;

Its mainly due the fact that those files are used by some programs, and while a file is in use, it cannot be deleted.





If you are sure that those files are corrupted, and deleting them won't result in crashing your computer, then you can delete those files by first going in safe mode and deleting them manually.





This way you can easily remove them
Reply:I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html


The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at

How can I gain access to C:\windows\system32 and delete a virus?

Norton antivirus detects a virus (w32.spybot.worm) in my system32 folder in windows and cant do anthing because access was denied... How do I get rid of the virus? Whether manually or through norton?

How can I gain access to C:\windows\system32 and delete a virus?
Do a regedit.





Use regedit.





Go to "Start" and click on it.





Go to "Run" and click on it.





In the dialog box that appears, type in "regedit" and hit Enter.





In the Registry Edit Panel that appears, go to Edit and click on it. In the drop down menu that appears, go to Find and click on it.





In the dialog box that appears, type in "w32.spybot.worm" and hit Enter.





Select all the values that populate the right side of the panel and right click and delete all of them.





Repeat this again doing Find Next.





Once you get no results, you know that it's all gone.





Remember to disable System Restore while doing this so that you don't get a copy saved there.





Reboot and enable System Restore and you're home free!





All the best!





Cheers!





Simon Templar





PS,





Whoops, I'd just helped another lady get rid of her Trojan and she had XP Home, where she couldn't find "Run". If you have the same problem, please do ctrl alt del and then go to File and then click on "New Task [Run] ... and then the rest is as above.
Reply:Hmm, i would just reboot and before windows loading screen comes up hit f8 and start in safe mode (administrator). Turn off system restore, and try running nortons then. If nortons cant delete it (if it quarantines it, undo or restore the virus from there), go to Start%26gt;my computer and go into C: then windows folder, then system32 (make sure you can view all files..) and manually delete it from there, don't forget to empty recycle bin.





Scan again, hopefully it will be gone. If not then you may have to redo the drive.





BTW, I don't think deleting registry keys will remove the actual virus files themselves, just the pointers to them..which may be needed if you manually delete (but in addition to deleting the files)
Reply:You need to be logged on as an administrator which you might be,


next hit alt-control-delete and close the virus(if you know the name of the executable) or you can get this program Unlocker or WhoLockMe off the internet.
