Title: Windows vista on Toshiba laptop is super slow non responsive
Post by: Irven on September 06, 2009, 01:06:07 PM
Toshiba Satellite, Model A205-S5804 With vista operating system ,
after it boots I get an error Run DLL ,Error loading program C;\progra~\my webs~\bar\bin\m3plugin.dll, The specified module could not be found ,then the Window live one care program starts and the system freezes, several times I tried to start in safe mode would not start, I just now got it into safe mode and tried to run a virus scan and the system froze again, I think it is infected with a virus and I do not want to format the hard drive as there are lots of pictures and files that I do not want to loose, I opened the security program and it will not let me turn on the turn it on,  What can I do?? Please help

I am running Vista Home Premium and I have Windows live one care installed but i cannot turn it on or anything the security center informs me that it is turned off and cannot be started, I tried to install Avast and the system denied access to install. The computer is not connected to the internet and is not in a business,  Thank you for the help so far,  I have to go to work for the rest of the evening at the golf course so I will continue after I get off. Again thank you very much!!  Irven

Live One Care is being abandoned by Microsoft so it's time to re-think your protection strategy...
Avira, Avast and AVG all make a good Free version of their A/V apps...

Then, you need to state your issues at malware section, not here.
With serious MyWebSeach infection, they'll need special tools to get rid of it.

Were here to help people clean infections not tell them 'just stop using the programme'. Would you say that to someone with an infection in Windows? No!

On top of that simply turning it off as a startup service will not prevent it from carrying out it's insidious deeds...
Don't give advice if you don't have a command on what you are advising about.

I finally got avast to install on the laptop and ran a boot scan without being able to update as the system would not allow it to connect to the web site, It did not find anything then I was able to update it and ran a scan and it found 5 or 6 infections which I placed in the chest, then I downloaded the cc cleaner and ran that and could not connect to have it analyzed so that is lost,now the computer keeps locking the current user and cycles to a black screen then a blue screen and then a couple times it restarted on its own and is so slow when I try to restart it it takes about 20 minutes to reach the desktop, I am so frustrated I don't know what to do Please help!!  Irven

Also I forgot to mention that when I try to open the control panel that all it will do is show a silhouette of the window and the rest is invisible then it closes on its own
