I wasn't able to follow the directions (http://windows.micro...e#1TC=windows-7) since the files did not copy over. I basically followed this and got some progress. I ran AVG Free Antivirus after this and when I did a popup came up (from F-Secure) saying there was malicious code found in file: c:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Avg2015\temp\avg-74fae816-07d4-4657-9215-dell23653425.tmp (said the Infection was Gen: Varian.Symmi.45380). Evidentally, it didn't fix or change anything because I ran AVG again and the same thing popped up (but AVG says there are 0 threats found - both times). Should I be concerned for my parents?

Glad I'm finished with dinner.

I'm in if there's a league

Sweet!!!

Happy birthday Antonio!

Trying to go through those directions but he has several ntuser.dat files. Do I not copy over all of them? Also, I don't see any .bak files in the registry so I'm wondering if he really has a corrupted user profile (he also tried restoring to a previous point though).

Yes, that is the account he normally uses.

My dad's computer started acting funny this morning. I don't know much about Windows. When he logged back in this morning the following things were missing: His desktop picture, his shortcuts in the taskbar were missing, his programs when you click the start button were gone, and Microsoft office longer seems to be registered. He did have antimalwarebytes delete 2 pups that were in the registry key. We also had someone changing the DSL today but he said he didn't touch the computer. I doubt it was the latter. Do you know what could be the problem and how to fix it? I don't have Windows 7 disks to reinstall everything and also my dad won't let me do that since he doesn't want to lose more things. Could this be caused by a virus (he has a virus scanner) or is this something that maybe is caused by Windows itself. I read something that implies it might be a corrupted user profile.

Sorry Al.

I doubt it is the router but I could try some tests. It is an Apple extreme. I do have Windows, Macs, iOS devices, and Android devices at home for testing purposes.

I realize that a properly working SB6121 would be fine. I'm just wonder if something could have been damaged (say from a power surge or heat from leaving it in for 3 years) that would cause it to not work sporadically.

Most of the time my (Comcast Blast) connection works and is fast. However, recently it seems like I've been losing my connection more often (sometimes weekly). I thought it was maybe my modem since Comcast online always says that my connection is fine and there are no outages in the area. The reason I think it's maybe not the modem is that it usually happens on Sunday night. The modem I use is the SB6121 which I bought over 3 years ago. Do you think it would be worth getting another modem or do you think it's my neighbors watching lots of streaming HD porn after night church.

Sorry Steve. RIP Buggy.

That looks fantastic

Thanks Ric

Good luck!

You should buy it and tells us. I'd be interested in replacing my already pretty convenient Pico Dac + Marantz receiver with something like that.

That is not cool.

We have a store that carries those 1.5 miles away. I should go try them.

I never noticed that before Nate but indeed that is true on my phone as well.

Sounds and looks good Mike!
