Windows start up issue…Get it fixed yourself!!!

Facing problem with the computer start up? Are you enraged at your computer? Frustration runs all over your body and there is a threat of unexpected expenditure…right? There might be any hardware problem or any software error so the first step you take is calling your vendor, but the vendors never turn up…isn’t it? SO why do you worry, there is Microsoft Support always available for your help. Just make them a call at 1-887-452-9201 and fix your computer in no time. They provide great service round the clock.

Well it is their part to help you…but I definitely can provide you with some valuable information on how to fix the start up issues.

When you turn on your computer, press the F8 key. This will take you to the advanced start up option. There you will find various options. Select the Last Known Good Configuration and press Enter. The computer restarts and you can use the computer as earlier.

If it does not help, then select the Safe mode options. In the safe mode you can access the computer but with the least and the most important application in use. From here you can uninstall the malicious application which is affecting your system.

Now there is another option in the advanced start-up option and it is “safe mode with networking”. Here the important set of drivers are installed but with the availability of Internet. So if you want any help from the internet you can use through this option.

Now with the Safe mode with command Prompt option in the advanced start-up you can use the computer in command mode and use the commands to perform the various functions. It is recommended to use only when you are adept in commands.

There are other options in advanced boot option like “enable low video resolution”, “Enable boot logging”, “Directory services restore mode”, Debugging mode and many others which make you use your computer easily and moreover you can also setup the minor errors in your computer easily without going for any technical support.

Reinstall Windows- Microsoft’s answer!!!

Microsoft has exposed a new alternative on a boot kit which is much malicious that Microsoft recommends reinstalling Windows from a recovery CD.

Chun Feng, an engineer with the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, warned that users will have to roll back Windows via a recovery CD if they are infected with Popureb.E, which now includes a driver component that triggers at boot time.

The malware identifies the actual startup disk and infects DriverStartIO; it overwrites the MBR write application to read operation. If your system is infected by this malicious malware, the data cannot be written and hence the system gets affected by the malicious malware. Thus it does not allow the antivirus to overwrite the MBR and hence the malware cannot be removed. Therefore there is no other way of removing the Popured.E but re-installing the windows.

It is recommended by Microsoft to try and fix the malware with the help of System Recovery Console and use the “fixmbr” command. If it is not removed, there is only one way and that is using the recovery CD to restore the System to an earlier, pre-infected state. The recovery CD will reboot the windows and hence makes the boot sector free from malwares. But while using the Microsoft recovery CD, make sure that you have a clear idea on booting or you can also consult the Microsoft support squad. Again it also said that there is one more alternative to it and it is to get a Mac.

But there are many anti viruses who do not worry about these malwares and say that it is detected as Trojan and hence can be removed by Trojan Remover. Hence there is an ongoing debate on this topic and Microsoft says that it is not a Trojan but dubbed as E. So Symantec have been toiling hard to get a removal tool for this malicious malware.
