Due to my recent experience where I got a trojan that effectively blocked me from using my computer and threatening me with heavy fines or jailtime (unless I paid a smaller fine, of course  ), I thought I'd start a thread where we could discuss the various computer problems we've had. Perhaps we could give each other some hints and tips on how to solve them  I solved my problem thanks to the wonderful feature built into Windows where you reset your computer to an earlier save point. To get to that program even though my computer was locked I had to fire up my computer in failsafe mode (pressing F8 during startup), choose Failsafe Mode with Command prompt, exit from that and do the Ctrl-Alt-Delete thing to bring up the activity menu from where I could search for the C:/ directory and from there find the program where you make a save point/reset to a save point. (Apologies if my explanation is a bit clunky  ) This post has been edited by mirocu: Nov 25 2017, 10:15 PM

This is actually an Oblivion thing  I have Mirili Ulven from Highcross standing at the other side of the gate (the Cyrodiil side), I have no idea how she got there but I want to move her back to Highcross where Lothran is currently located. What command should I use? Iīm thinking prid <RefID/BaseId> placeatme but I donīt want to try without knowing if itīs the right command. Edit: I see that I have been subject to a bug and cannot get her back. Iīll try spawning a new copy and kill the original one instead. Edit 2: The console commands seemed to work as I got no error message, but no Mirili appeared. Sigh. This post has been edited by mirocu: Jul 25 2015, 04:30 PM

QUOTE(ghastley @ Jul 25 2015, 05:51 PM)  Placeatme creates a whole new instance, so you don't want that one.
Well, it didnīt work anyway  QUOTE(ghastley @ Jul 25 2015, 05:51 PM)  prid xxxxxxxx (using the RefID, not the base) moveto player
is much safer.
Thanks!

QUOTE(mALX @ Dec 5 2015, 03:28 PM)  I couldn't find any way to resolve the issue, so removed Avira from my laptop. So ... looking for some other antivirus/firewall program now.
As bobg says, it's not a malware issue, it's cookies. I don't care much for Avira (ads!), but you'd be far better running it than having no AV program at all, that's definitely not recommended. A well-tried alternative is AVG: AVG FreeBut make sure you haven't got more than one AV program running in the background, they tend to mess each other, and your machine, up. Firewall-wise, Windows built-in firewall works perfectly well, though it's a little inflexible. Be sure you haven't disabled that. Having said that, I also find it useful to run Malwarebytes occasionally, but not as a background service (which you can't do with the free one anyway). It picks up on a few things the others may not catch - it's more in the nature of a clean-up program. It may also be helpful to get rid of Java completely. This is now a security nightmare and it's not getting any better. This post has been edited by tegeus-Cromis: Feb 7 2016, 12:30 AM
