Malware or viruses have blocked the program files access and ultimately the antivirus

Hi,
My computer has been prone to malwares or viruses, not pretty sure, but right now, i'm in trouble. My antivirus software folder is not opening, and gives error
"C:/program files/McAfee" is not accessible. Access denied"
I'm in one more trouble, whenever I install new antivirus, like ESET, or new antimalware like MalwareBytes, during the installation process, the process says that the particular
file (related to the software) cannot renamed, and access is denied MoveFile failed;code5
For example, I installed MalwareBytes software, and got this error:
C:\Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Malwarebytes/Malwarebytes' Anti-malware/rules.ref
An error occured while trying to rename a file in the destination directory;
MoveFile failed; code 5.
Access is denied.
Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file (not recommended), or  Abort to cancel installation.
ABORT,RETRY,IGNORE
Because of this, I don't know what malware or virus is in which part of the system
EDITED TO ADD:
OS:Windows XP service pack 2
How do we solve this problem?

How to solve this?

  • Firefox cannot be found inside the Program Files (x86) when using the shortcut or the actual .exe. I also tried using Regedit.exe and firefox was not there. How do I fix this?

    After I get the error message "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I proceeded to use the Regedit solution but the file was not inside the Image File Executable Options folder. The only file inside of there was iexplorer.exe.

    #Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download the installation file to your desktop. You can use Safari to do that, but don't choose to run it.<br><br>

  • MB pro late 2011: The program shuts down and then the computer "dies"

    Hi! I just bought a Mackbook pro from late 2011 but my programs (as imovie, iphoto, spotify ect) shuts down like all the time and then the computer "dies" and sometimes I have to reformat the computer... Anyone that know why my computes is acting like this? Would be so grateful if someone could help we with this!

    Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
    The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
    How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1. If you don't own another Mac
    a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    2. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    3. Partition and install OS X
    a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
              OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
              The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
              You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
    In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
    d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    4. Other issues
    a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

  • HT4061 iTunes will not open when my iPhone 4S is attached to my Mac Book Pro. iTunes will start up but as soon as my iPhone appears in the list of devices the program then quits and displays the message 'iTune Quit Unexpectedly'? Can anybody help?

    The Problem/s
    1. I am unable to sync my iPhone 4S with my Mac Book Pro, either by cable, wifi or bluetooth
    2. iTunes will initiall open and briefly identifies the iPhone in the Device section in iTunes.
    3. When iTunes starts to read the iPhone (displaying the spinning wheel), it immediately then quits and
    4. Opens a 'dialogue box' which displays the message "iTunes Quit Unexpectedly"
    5 The dialoge box offers the following button options to:-
    'Show Details'
    The 'Show Details' button will open and display a list of the 'Problem Details and System Configeration'. To the average user the information is useless, as one doesn't know what to look for to solve the problem. This is a long and detailed report (too long to include in this message), which includes information such as:-
    Crashed Thread:  20
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
    Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000000006f0
    'OK'
    The 'Ok' button simply quits and closes the dialogue box
    'Reopen'
    The 'Reopen' button will again reopen iTunes, briefly showing that it is trying to read the iPhone in the Devices section, but then returns again to display the same dialogue box.
    Other Information
    1. iTunes will still start normally once the USB cable is removed from the Mac book Pro, but crashes again once the USB cable is reattached to the computer
    Any advice or help offered would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely
    Rob

  • Why does the iTunes 64 installer install into the Program Files (x86) directory and run in 32 bit mode?

    I have just installed this and even tried to manually get it to install in the "Program Files" directory.  Programs installed into the "Program Files (x86)" directories are 32 bit apps.  This is where the iTunes64Setup file installs to.  Is this intended?  If so, why call it iTunes 64 bit ?  It is compatible in this mode, but iTunes actually running in 64 bit mode could drastically improve performance and processing of large libraries.
    Please advise if this is a known issue or if iTunes 64 bit even exists.

    The 64-bit version of iTunes is a mixture of 64-bit and 32-bit componentry. You'll also notice on your PC that some of the componentry for iTunes itself is installing in the iTunes folder in the Program files directory (such as the miniplayer). The GEAR drivers used for burning and importing are 64-bit. The iPod service is 64-bit. AMDS is 64-bit. Bonjour is partially 64-bit.
    It's normal to see the itunes.exe process running as 32-bit on a 64-bit system.

  • I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

    I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
    I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

    On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
    But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

  • I am getting EXACTLY the same "you don't have the required permissions" message that I see all over the net.  64 bit windows 7 ultimate. Many uninstalls and reinstalls.  Yes, Itunes is in the program files x64 directory.  Yes I get the same error there.

    I'm getting the same error message as many other when I try to start Itunes.  It was working correctly until I got an ipad 3 and installed some of the associated tools.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled many times.  Yes it's in the program files x64 directory.  Yes I get the same error when I try to start direct from that folder instead of menus or desktop shortcuts.  Did some registry cleaning.  Nothing helps.  Windows 7 ultimate, 64 bit.  Please help.

    The install fails with the error: "installer has insufficient privileges to access the directory >c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\itunes. The installation cannot continue". My user account is an admin account. I then retried the install by right-clicking and running the install with Admin Privileges. Same error results.
    I don't have a Windows 7 box in front of me, so can you check something for me?
    Navigate to that location on the PC look at the itunes item you see there. Is it a shortcut to your iTunes program file?
    If it's just a shortcut, try dragging it out onto the desktop and doing another (64-bit) install. (With a 32-bit already in place, it may just offer to do a "repair install" instead of a full install.
    Do you still get the error message or does the install go through smoothly this time?

  • Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file.

    Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file. The error message reads "cannot complete your request because of a program error" -- it is a very large file (I have been saving it all along) and I had just "flattened layers" and went to open up a new, blank photo file when it shut down. Is there anyway to get this file to open? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (p.s. after reading a couple of similar threads, I have a feeling it's hopeless. But I'd also like to know WHY this might have happened!) Thanks in advance!

    Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and for sharing the article--I did panic. Here are the details of my system:
    Model: HP p7-1247c
    Processor: AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
    Installed Memory: 8 GB (7.48 usable)
    System Type: 64-bit
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    I am using Photoshop CS3. It seems that I can work on photos and save them. But I am unable to open them back up. I have tried saving the files as psd and tiff with the same result. The error message is:  "cannot complete your request because of a program error"
    The interesting thing is that I can open up InDesign and "place" the psd file within InDesign (then export and save as a jpeg). So I don't think the files are necessarily corrupted. I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it last night, but there's no change.
    If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Or, should I repost my question with this more complete info? Thank you!

  • How to build a jar file so the program can access its resources folder?

    I have a java program written by someone else in which I have made a trivial change (I changed the background color). The jar file runs but it does not find one of the resources file.
    Here is the project folder's structure
    mainClass.txt (manifest text file)
    folder resources (includes file Java does not find: order.txt, a text file)
    folder CFPT ( includes .class files)
    folder cpl (includes .class files)
    folder results
    I tried
    jar cvmf mainClass.txt CFPT0.jar CFPT/*.class cpl/*.class resources results
    I get a lot of "adding: resources/..."
    including the one pertaining to the files which is later not found
    adding: resources/order.txt(in = 411) (out= 169)(deflated 58%)
    the code that chokes right now is the following,
    Object i = new Object();
    InputStream is = i.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/resources/" + resourceName);
    when I run java -jar CFPT0.jar the program runs
    but it soon gives an error, cannot find resourceName order.txt (is == null)
    I have Core Java Volume 1 page 498 but it does not help me figure out what I am doing wrong.
    Can somone help me build the jar file correctly so the program can find its resources?
    Is this a classpath issue? What do I need to do?

    My last mainClass.txt file content:
    Main-Class: CFPT.CFPTRunner
    Class-Path: ./resources ./results
    I also tried
    Class-Path: resources results
    Initially I only had the first line.
    I put back /resources in the java file as the / is necessary to indicate absolute path.
    Otherwise it looks relative to calling class.
    I tried adding the path on the second line of the manifest file per Wikipedia example
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classpath
    I looked at
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/lang/resources.html
    If you use the -sourcepath option, the compiler searches the indicated path for source files; otherwise the compiler searches the user class path both for class files and source files.
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/lang/resources.html
    resources
    I took out the -d classes and compiled the .class files right with the java files in case that was the problem
    javac -classpath . CFPT/CFPTRunner.java
    jar cvmf mainClass.txt CFPT0.jar CFPT/*.class cpl/*.class resources results
    java -jar CFPT0.jar
    Still no go

  • Is it possibly to change file attributes for files in the Program Files directory?

    Hi,
    I wonder if it is possible to change file time atributes for a file that is in the same folder as the exe file inside the Program File folder. I have the following code that gives System Error Code 5.
    SHGetFolderPath(0, CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES, 0, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, programpath);
    PathAppend (programpath, TEXT("Testprogram/gnsh.dat"));
    hFile = CreateFile(programpath, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
    If this had worked, I would for instance have done like this
    GetSystemTime(&st); SystemTimeToFileTime(&st, &ft);
    timeresult = SetFileTime(hFile2, NULL, NULL, &ft);
    I am programming in C with WIndows Api.
    Thanks in advance for answer.

    Hi Vahmat,

    Access is denied.
    I have tested your code on my side, it will get a error code 5 if you have no permission to access a file. Please try to run VS as a administrator and rebuild your project, after this , you code works well on my side.
