So it has given up the ghost and gone ? I wonder if it was the Adobe one..

How is the computer behaving now ?

[AlexTM]

The computer is working super ok, except something in registry with MySQL...
I had installed a long time ago MySQL and I forgot the password. To solve this problem, I did delete MySQL and reinstalled, but in registry was the same password. To solve this problem, i searched on net, and got the answer to delete MySQL from registry, but for now is not working anymore... I am still searching for an advice to repair or cure this registry without reinstalling windows, cuz I may loose a lot's of data.
For the moment, I didn't find anything, but still searching!

Have you looked here?

[AlexTM]

I looked there, but i don't understand nothing...

3. Create a text file containing the following statements. Replace the password with the password that you want to use.

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';(where i'll put the password, afer = or in the parenthesis)
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Write the UPDATE and FLUSH statements each on a single line. The UPDATE statement resets the password for all root accounts, and the FLUSH statement tells the server to reload the grant tables into memory so that it notices the password change

1. I don't know what to do with the UPDATE and FLUSH statements or syntax...
2. at point 6, again I can't understand how to do...

Can you please help me with more detailed explications, because I can't follow their??

OK create a text file as below, where the writing that is in red that will be your new password

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Save the text file as mysql-init.txt to your root C drive

Then at the command prompt type the following :

C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt

All this assumes that mysql was installed to the root C drive, if you installed it somewhere else then the path will need to be changed to reflect that

Thank you again! Problem Solved

[Essexboy]

All happy on the sql front then

Subject to no further problems

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL

• Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
  

  :Commands
  [resethosts]
  [emptytemp]
  [Reboot]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top
• Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

• Go to control panel
• Select folder options (Appearance > Folder options in category view)
• Select the View Tab.
• Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
• Click Yes to confirm.
• Click OK.

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application.

Upgrading Java:

• Go to this site and click Do I have Java
• It will check your current version and then offer to update to the latest version

SPRING CLEAN

To manually create a new Restore Point

• Go to Control Panel and select System
• Select System
• On the left select System Protection and accept the warning if you get one
• Select System Protection Tab
• Select Create at the bottom
• Type in a name i.e. Clean
• Select Create

Now we can purge the infected ones

• GoStart > All programs > Accessories > system tools
• Right click Disc cleanup and select run as administrator
• Select Your main drive and accept the warning if you get one
• For a few moments the system will make some calculations
• Select the More Options tab
• In the System Restore and Shadow Backups select Clean up
• Select Delete on the pop up
• Select OK
• Select Delete

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes. Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

• Microsoft Windows Update

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?

Keep safe
