How do i get control back?

Computer was hacked and i have lost admin control.  Its a compaq pres cq62.  Any help appreciatied.

If you believe your computer was hacked your best bet is to reinstall Windows.  At this point you don't know what the hacker has done to your computer.  So it is safest to just wipe it all and start over.  If you need to backup pictures, documents, etc. that is fine.  I would first remove the network connection from your machine.  That is the only way the hacker can get to your machine, so take that away!!!  Then proceed wiht your backup.  I would also ran a virus scan on the backed up files to make sure they aren't infected.

  • My college has informed me that firefox 7 is not compatable with their online classes and I must go back to firefox 6 but you down load of 6 will not let me it is trying to force me to upgrade to 7 how can I get 6 back?

    My school (Highline Community College) as advised me that firefox 7 will not allow people to use the (Angel) online e-mail system. I need to stay in contact with my teachers. They said don't get firefox 7 but I already have it. They said go back to firefox 6 which they even provide a link for but when you upload it it says this is an old system click here to get 7. I already have 7 and know it will not work. How can I get 6 back.

    I have the same problem. It was literally snuck in as a simple update and suddenly I couldn't upload any of my assignments. You can get rid of 7 by going to control panel and removing the Mozilla file. then look for the FF 6 upload. I warn you though. It REALLY wants to be 7. Don't allow any updates to happen or you will be in the same position.
    I like Firefox and it is truly disappointing that they would force this situation. My nest step is back to IE 8 which wants to be 9. Arghh!

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • All my bookmarks have suddenly disappeared. How do I get them back? I didn't do anything to erase them.

    All my bookmarks have suddenly disappeared. How do I get them back? I didn't do anything to erase them.

    I've tried importing and restoring from bookmarks.html. The closest I get is having the XBOX folder in the dropdown, then the list of saved XBOX b-marks with nothing in them to actually go to.
    I looked at the places.sqlite file the other day and it said 0kb, now it has @11,000. Must be from recent activity.
    Anyway someone can control my pc and try to resolve this? If not, I guess these bookmarks weren't that important so oh well.
    I'm just afraid to try to organize the rest....

  • When I open iPhoto5, the list (albums, trash, etc.) next to pictures has disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    When I open iPhoto5, the list (albums, trash, etc.) next to pictures has disappeared.  How can I get it back?

    You can move your cursor to the far left of the iPhoto window and grab side of the source pane and drag it open - or
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

    the "X" to close tabs on my macbook is gone how do I get it back to work again

    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.

  • The icon that allows connection to multiple speakers is gone, how do i get it back?

    I am not sure how, but the icon that allows for mulitple speakers has disappeared from my Itunes.  How do I get it back? I had a problem with Bonjuor and I believe this is the cause of the issue, but I reloaded it and I still don't have the icon.  Apple TV can connect to my library, but I have no control over multiple speakers from my PC.  I alos have an Airport Express running off this same system.

    youre voice to text option is not gone.Please go into settings and get into accessibility and turn on voice selection.If voice selection is on please restart the iphone.Also turn on siri.
    Hope your problem will be solved
    Thanks

  • I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

    I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

    If these were photos that were only in the Photostream folder of your Photos app, but not actually part of the Photostream itself, then the iCloud Photostream only holds the past 30 days of photos.
    Use the iCloud Control Panel (if you're using Windows, download it here: iCloud for Windows - Apple Support), to see your actual iCloud Photostream.
    Your device will hold the Photostream photos until they are removed, but you should never treat your device or the iCloud Photostream as permanent storage.  You should be importing them to your computer on a regular basis for safe keeping.

    Hello there, tonjay82.
    There are some great sources of information in the following article that might help you in resolving the issue at hand:
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
    Particularly of note is the following:
    You can enable and adjust Restrictions, or Parental Controls, on your device to prevent access to specific features or content on the device. Locate these settings by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
            and
    Additional Information
    If your iOS device is missing a particular application or if a certain feature is not available, ensure that Restrictions are not enabled. Symptoms can include:
    App missing from the Home screen (Safari, Camera, or YouTube for example)
    Feature or service unavailable (Siri, Location Services, and so on)
    Setting missing or grayed out (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
    Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles.
    Thank you for reaching out to us at Apple Communities on this issue.
    Cheers,
