I can not open any downloads sent to my computer,

Please help me.  I can not open any downloads sent to my computer.  Every email with a download, comes up with "...contains a virus..."  I think it might be a firewall (don't know that for a fact) but it was happening before I installed the Fix-It Utilities11 and now it happens all the time.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks for reading this post.

H PWillis,
It is probably just me - I am not particularly trusting - I hate "trial period" software.  I don't know recognise Fix-It Utilities 11; I did call it up and look at the webpage for it and read the cover page...
http://www.pcworld.com/article/216429/finetune_you​r_pc_with_fixit_utilities_11_professional.html
In My Opinion:
Whatever Fix-It might be doing, it doesn't seem to have fixed anything.  It is possible your system is so badly infected that you are in the "badlands" of virus-ville; on the other hand, the sort of "horror message" seems a bit over the top for a tool that is supposed to fix your computer.  The page I read compared this software to Registry Mechanic and that makes me cringe.
IMO, remove this Fix-It software from your computer.
Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features > find and remove it
Reboot
Install some decent Anti-Virus software and run a deep scan on your computer.  I will recommend two free ones.  You can try one or both - not at the same time; remove one if you want to try the next.  I will provide a web page so you can check on other products.
I have used the Avast Free version in the past; I now use the licensed version.  We also have the free AVG on at least one system.  There are other good products.  The point is to use something to thoroughly sweep your system for issues and make sure it is healthy.
NOTE:  To run either (any) of the Anti-Virus products that I mention, you MUST remove Norton (if you have it on your system).  Norton Security does not mix with other security software.  It will complain when you try to remove it.  Just tell it to go away and it will do so if you insist.  Restart (Reboot) you computer after removing Norton and before installing other Anti-Virus Security Software...  Norton is removed from Programs and Features (above).
Anti-Virus Software:
Avast Anti-Virus
AVG Anti-Virus
If you would like other recommendations for Antivirus Software, you can check out Microsoft’s own page on the subject, where you can find links to many companies who provide Windows 7 compatible products.
Windows 7 consumer security software providers
Once you have done a thorough check of your computer, come back and let us know if you still have issues!
I hope this helps!

    hey, writing this from my phone. Please pardon how everything is typed.  Quick question. Just downloaded the pear square on program. But now I can not open any applications.

  • Can not open any files CS5  Win 7 64 bit

    I can not open any files in Photoshop.  I can open them in Bridge or LR.  If I open a file in Camera Raw and try to go to Photoshop, PS opens and just sits there and looks at me as if I opened the program only.

    Is this a new installation that has never worked, or is this a problem that has cropped up recently?
    In any case, there are two things you can do that between them have a very good chance of getting things working for you.
    1.  As a diagnostic, click Edit - Preferences - Performance, and uncheck (disable) the [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing setting, then close and reopen Photoshop.  If this corrects the problem, then chances are good that your display driver needs to be updated.  To do so, go to the web site of the maker of your video card (e.g., nVidia or ATI) and follow the links to the driver download that matches your hardware and operating system.  When you've updated the driver and rebooted your system, re-enable the OpenGL Drawing setting (remembering to close and restart Photoshop) then re-test.
    2.  Clear all Photoshop preferences to standard defaults.  To do this, press and hold the Control, Shift, and Alt keys IMMEDIATELY after cold-starting Photoshop from its shortcut or menu entry.  If you're quick enough, it will prompt you.  You'll need to go through all the preferences again to ensure any customizations you want are re-done.
    Hope this helps!

  • Recently I can not open any app. in my Ipad except original ones. How can I fix this problem?

    Recently I can not open any app. in my Ipad except original ones. How can I fix this problem?

    You do NOT need to restore your iPad.
    I believe that the problem is that there is a disconnect with your iTunes account and your iPad. What you are experiencing is a somewhat common issue after you sync your iPad, update your device - it could be a number of reasons that are causing it. the recommended fix is to download another app in order to "reconnect" your ID and iTunes account to the iPad.
    You can read more about it here. You will need a WiFi internet connection in order to fix it - or you have to be able to sync with your own iTunes library.
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    But this is what it says in the article.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

    I can't open any pictures sent to me SMS or IMS text on my iPhone 6. The text bubble shows downloading, but the pictures aren't opening.

    close out of the message app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    then do a reset, no data loss. hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up then check message again.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration.

  • Can not open any web page in Safari

    can not open any web page in Safari on the IPad.  All other wireless features work fine.

    If this does not work then try a reset ,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha
