I'm stuck on whether to click download or not? Exploroer says that I have uploaded softwear Unapproved by Facebook and I must Download McAfee Scan and Repair or I never Ever can log in using this PC. My lap Top sitting here is a reminder never to download anti virus when i have anti virus already. So I used Google Chrome to log in, everything seems fine. But I cannot use Explorer for facebook. I get the same window every time I try. It stats that "if" they find a virus and they cannot remove it I can remove it myself. lol Other known issues My YouTube, 3D does not work on Explorer. but some do on Google Chrome..Firefox just displays a blk screen on all video forever.
Hang on for some advice on this but that reads like a standard scam!
But my trusty Google search has produced a link to this thread:
Locked out of Facebook: unauthorized ads message
and one later message gives links to two articles about it:
Facebook launches malware checkpoints for users with infected computers
New Facebook feature allows users to voluntarily lock their accounts and initiate malware scans
and
Facebook security 'checkpoint' hits user roadblock
Some Facebook users say their accounts were locked when they tried to use the new Malware Checkpoint service
as to what your best course of action is I'm not sure since I'm not in this situation.
So hang on for some help ....
Did you download the McAffee or not? There are tools for removing McAfee products.
No I will not download, the risk is too great to my DESK top. and i can use google chrome. My Lap top will download music and videos .but not my nortan internet seguirty 2012 or any anti virus malewear material.just loops back to open or save, over and over. . I had switched to Titainium, and I think they are affiliated with powerspeed (cannot be removed) which brought down my lap top including the dvd drive ,so i cannot install antivirouse. Yet it will log into facebook via Enternet Exploror. I cannot download google chrome or firefox, that is one smart virfus or whatever. it reliese on microsoft essintials now to protect it because no anti viruse can be input. but ironicly just before download the last thing is they are scanned by microsoft essentials, odd that a temporary backup plan for anti viruse would take over compleat controll for ever :/ no way to shut that down or add back the assotiations with Explorer and the downloading of anti virus. I will take your advise and wait till i know alot more, thanks. watch my videos on YouTube pictxterplaymates channel. all legal all me and my gf's, good music, all types. something for everybody.
i did not read the articals you sent me to before I wrote "Microsoft Sequrity Essentials" in my last email. they are partners it seems , im not done with the third artical but that was very unsettling. I can Afford the internal combustion of this lap lop if we blow it up trying to munipulate the McAfee system wich does not seem to be coming up in seach on the lap top ,i'v seen it there in the passed as a a program as I dig my seach for Mirosoft Sequreity Essintials.lnk . (Everything has a ink on it it seems now. or an exe ok there is a dill im getting hungry noiw ) lead to a file that has not, and cannot be opened, copying the link takes me back to download it scan it and bamb, start again. somebody like you might learn alot about the mirosoft, mcafree, TiTanium,PC Powerspeed 1.0.0.0 meldown, with my infected lap top. it has a stong heart and keeps on surfing, It may show my credit card activity to the next doort naibors tho idk. thanks for letting me get that out , :) bye
Pictxterowner,
I'm sorry but I've read your two latest messages and I really can't follow whether you have a problem you need help on or not.
It would seem that you have not encountered a virus or trojan but an "improvement" introduced by Facebook. SInce I don't belong to Facebook I'm afraid I don't know anything to help you with.
If you need help perhaps you could be specific on what is wrong with your system and your Norton product in particular.
You are right. I was rambling. You did help and i hope you got the created you deserve. I do have a specific question but i can start a new thread if you like. Do you think it would harm my new PC if I turn on home shariring, connect to my infected lap top, in an attempt to access my two existing downloads avaiabile Nortam Internet Sequrity 2012, or is accessing those downloads via the home sharing not even a optiion to be conciderd? It will not download it and the DVD/CD drive is nonresponsive. I have tryd to download a free trial vertion , but any and all attempts to gain anti virus are shut down by the microsoft essentials ink scanner just previous to running the programs. Thank You Tim.
Tim,
I wish you'd break up into paragraphs using ENTER twice (this editor doesn't do that automatically) !!!
Firstly if you have Microsoft Security Essentials installed and active you don't want to try to install another interactive security program so that's probably why you can't download.
I would not even think of trying to get anything from the "infected" computer -- but what infected it? McAfee is not an infection -- when we can give you a download source.
Here's what I would do:
On your new computer download this file and SAVE if to a place where you can find it.
New NIS 2012:
Click on this link -- NIS 2012 This will download a single file of around 100MB which you should save on your hard drive where you can use it again if necessary -- Do not select Run but use Save when asked and remember where you put it!
Uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials using the normal Remove Programs in Control Panel.
Restart your computer
Go to where you saved the installation file for NIS 2012 and if you have VISTA or Windows 7 right mouse click on that file and select Run as Administrator which will start the installation and then follow the on screen instructions.
I don't remember exactly what goes on about activation with the KEY but if you do not have a written record of the KEY you used on the other machine you will be able to get it from your MyNortonAccount or if you point the installation to that account it may get it automatically.
If it asks you to create a Norton Account make sure you use the same email address and login password as the one you used before where the information for your subscription is held.
When the installation is finished, run LiveUpdate manually a few times with a restart inbetween until it tells you that you are fully uptodate.
If there's a problem with the activation don't worry but just let it stay as a trial for the moment and let us know.
If that is what you want to achieve then there should be no problem but you know where to find us ....
Hi! It doesn't seem to be a problem with Facebook as the website can load up on Chrome as you mentioned. I guess it has something to do with IE settings. You can clean up the cookies etc. And reset IE to factory defaults. Depending on your IE version, you may have different options but check this. (Meanwhile close the prompt asking you to download the McAfee)
Open IE> click Tools> Internet Options. In the Internet Options, click the Advanced tab and then at the bottom click the Reset button. Before you click Reset, make sure there are not other IE windows opened on the screen.
On the Reset IE settings screen, select the Delete personal settings check box and then click Reset. IE will now begin to reset the settings to default. When done, IE will prompt you to restart. Close the IE window and reopen it. Try to load up the Facebook website. If the page still does not load up, open your antivirus and update it with the latest updates. Try loading Facebook afterwards.
[edit:Removed link.]
Should this thread marked as Solved? I see no solution, just suggestions to this point.
No, it's not over yet. I'm going to try reseting the IE settings now wish me luck.
To sumansuman You have solved my problem with the MacAfee Scan and Repair Free of charge! It worked very well. Thank you Very Much.

Glad to know it is solved -- However you seem to have given someone else credit for the solution? If it is sumansuman perhaps you can change the Solution flag from the original message to his -- I think you probably do this through Options but if not a moderator can surely do it for you.
That will help other users.
You are very observant. notice the comment the same or previouse day indicating it was not marked solved. Can another user mark my post solved? and if so would that impair my abillity to change it. I followed every noticable action. public comment, Private, and a Kudos , I also clicked the HIGHLIGHT feature. I will now refer back to your email and again attempt to correct it. But I did try.
If you go to the one that is green marking the solution and click on Options you should see "Not the solution" so click on that and that should liberate you abiltiy to mark the later message as Solution if that is the actual solution.
I'm sorry. The message highlighted in green on my screen is mine. As you know I cannot mark it Solved or Unloved in my own messages.
Also the box (kudos) I did click on shannons Solve now has a + sign again. I can't click it now. The recent activity shows the kudos given by your profile.
There is (on shannons Solve) a vibrant red tag [edit-removed link] I can not click on it. But I still feel a mediator may have marked it solved in good faith.
The only option i'm given anywhere is to report inapropriat something . I'm not going to do that ever. I'v sent a message to the staff asking for a mediator. Meanwhile shannons solve remaines and most of the hits stop after message ( shannons Solve) so the community is being served.
You help me in other way's, (how to spead my txt) but that lap top will not load that program you suggested . I cannot disarm the microsoft essitials. it shows to be in active (not working) Yet it scans everything for new antivirouse data/softwear and rejects it.
Don't worrie feller. I'll langer around will we Russle up a solution the the missing solver problem, well rangle that solvent ;)
On the post that is marked solved, you can click on the link to Report Inappropriate Content. Start your comments with "Not inapporpriate" then ask the post have the 'solved' tag removed.
When that has been done, you can go to the appropriate post and mark it solved.
OK I don't know why you can't unmark it if you marked it as solved in the first instance but I've removed the Solved flag -- something Gurus can do but I wanted you to learn how to do it normally.
Now I hope you can flag the solution. If not let me know......
YOU REMOVED THE SOLVED TAG ?. Im starting to see things more clearly now. To me that suggest that it was You! That marked the problem Solved to begin with. I never did. Therefore I could not change it.
You ignored my replies saying that I believe a mediator marked the problem Solved in good faith. Also I could not verify just who pushed the Solved button. (A Guru/mediator click may not show who clicked the Solve) Nor did it give the credit to the person with the Solve on my! Screen.
>("The highlighted green message is my own message")<That is from my previous post's and NOT! The Solve.
In your reply it states that the person who clicked Solved (Guru or no Guru) would have the ability to change the answer.
My screen Now! Gives me the option to click the correct answer.
And I will.
My personal opinion on this matter is not enough evidence to warrant my clicking of inappropriate behavior,
But if I did it would be to asked a mediator to find out if YOU are the one that clicked your own post as the Solve.
And in my opinion, that was certainly premature if not inappropriate. Good Day Sir.

I think you are seriously confused. The only message marked as the solution was a message posted by you and you complained that you could not remove that Solved flag.
Gurus are given certain tools -- this solved flag may be the only one at present -- to help do the tasks we are asked to take care of in the forums. We are volunteers and not Norton Staff.
I did not flag your message as solved and in fact I queried whether it was the solution since you thanked someone else.
After telling you how to unflag the "solution" that was not and hearing from you that you could not I used a tool entrusted to me to do what you said you wanted done. I did not answer your guess that it might be a moderator who had flagged it because we have no way of knowing who did.
Now you are accusing me of improper behavior for flagging a message of my own which is something I did not do and is nonsense since you were referring to a one of your messages and something you had asked to be done .....
I would appreciate your apology for this slur.
Nope, your sidestepping . There are to many loopholes in your post's to mention here. Including the fact that you could have fixed the problem with your TOOL.
But decided to teach me something instead (that could not be done). You had said if i can't do it a mediator would be nessasary. Under those curcumstances that could be conciderd a lie.
Opposite complaining I stated that the community was being served, implying I was satisfied with the way it was.
YOU DID NOT query as to if it was the correct solve . That post came from {peterweb}
{kudos peterweb}
Now this is what you get from me, #1 I did not click the inappropriat tab. As I said "My opinion is not enough! to warrent that".
#2 In my post I state that it is ONLY my opinion, I was polite and I did not curse. I have a right to voice my opinion as long as I stay within the community guidlines. And my opinion STANDS!
