My laptop Windows Vista opens to a gray screen with the words Microsoft windows Vista at the top and Memory diagnostic tool at the bottom. Memory diagnostic tool said no errors. Ran diagnostic on F12 key -- said no problem. Ran Avast anti virus -- found nothing. The only way to open computer is to select Microsoft Windows Vista -- select Enter and wait through numerous beeps. I got instructions from Ambucias to download ZHPDiag2, start a new topic in virus-security and send the URL from the test.

I hope this is what you need. It still installed with mostly French so I had to guess a little.

Hello,

Do ZHPFix (the application on your desktop) and we will see after for SpeedCleaner. :)
And yes, you can empty the bin.

Ok I found a couple more applications I did not want or install. Maybe I can get rid of them later too.

Thanks for your time and assistance

I noticed that PC image and repair was not deleted. It was one the programs that installed themselves without me selecting it. The application worked on deleting it for about 30 min. I checked with Task Manager and it was still running. Finally, it appeared to be finished but the desktop icon at least is still there. I didn't take off the icon because I suspected some the files were still there.

What did the report tell you? I am just curious -- no problems. I have just tried to figure out what is going on.

Sorry I did not notice your question. PC Image and Repair installed itself as did PCtech Hotline and Speed Cleaner

Hello,

It's OK, ZHPFix did a good work.

Run again ZHPDiag and send the report on SpeedyShare please.

tried to run ZHPDiag again. I got a message asking me to upgrade to version 2014.4.9.16. My version is 2014.3.2.28.35. Most of the instructions were in French. Oui and Non I could figure out. Then a message box popped with words I could not read and the older version opened. Do you want me to run the older version. If I logged on as admin I might be able to get the newer one if you want that.

Sorry -- I just don't know much French.

Hello,

Otherwise you can try to uninstall ZHPDiag and then reinstall, as the last time.
But you can run the older version still.

I didn't quite trust myself to deal with a new version. At least I have worked with the older one before so I used it. I hope I did correctly. I clicked on Full options and it ran twice. Here is the result of the first run.

Here is the second run. I did not click on it twice. It simply ran ran twice and they were different.
What virus are we dealing with anyway?
If I messed up, just tell me and I will do it again.
