Please close the property page and try again.

There is a program I found and it will not let me delete it. It says it is preparing to delete it but it just goes on and on and on!!

Hmmmmmmmmm.........You have a serious OS issue.....Might be a “ransom worm”....has you all screwed up.

If so, I have never dealt with one and I am not sure that there is a fix for it.

What is the program?

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah, sounds like you have a malicious virus.

Check out Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac, because you can do both, and still be safer than just running Windows.

Make sure you are not confusing backup restore with restore points. These are easy to confuse.

Type restore into the Start menu search box. When the window opens, click on the link that says “Recover system settings or your computer”. CLick the button for Open System Restore and then click Next on the popup window. It should then list all of the restore points.

In my little world, since I have used MS products since the mid 90s, I generally default to reloading the OS after saving what I could...

And Identity Thefts LOVE WINDOWS !

Or you can just get the Windows problem fixed and go on with your life.

They like apples too......my friend...

ontap....

When did you install PC keeper?

[Kirkwood]

If you think you are infected, type msconfig in the Start menu search box. Go to the startup tab and uncheck any application that doesn’t belong. Particularly stop apps from starting that don’t have a company name. This doesn’t remove the virus, but is a good first step in stopping it from restarting, unless your registry is deeply infected.

this error can occur if the shadow copy services are not running, the backup applications and system restore depend on these services as well. you may do the following:

•open control panel
•click the classic view in the tasks pane
•double click administrative tools
•double click services
•look for the microsoft software shadow copy provider and double click it
•in the start up type menu (select automatic)
•in the start button click it
•click apply and then ok
•look for volume shadow copy service and perform the same procedure
•exit and reboot the computer

Hope the above helps.

Not NEARLY AS MUCH !
You have an 85 percent target window of THEFT running WINDOWS, versus 10 percent target window running APPLE, and about 5 percent running other Operating Systems.
