Chrome 'Virus Scan Failed' message won't let me download anything. Showing 1-36 of 36 messages. Chrome 'Virus Scan Failed' message won't let me download anything. Cannot confirm. I unchecked hardware acceleration and tried in incognito mode, still cannot download - always the 'Virus Scan Failed' message. AVG anti-virus may reject download files when the program can't protect the computer from infection. AVG is available as a free anti-virus program and as part of.
OS = Win 7 32bit
I didn't had any anti virus installed and I think I got infected by flash drives. When ever I try to download A/V either this happens:
Or A/V setup gets locked:
I have tried many times same happens. I have dual boot with Win 8.1. It works fine but If I install it on 8.1, it won't start in 7 and will give me some 'blah blah not found' error. If I get installation work, in the middle it will show error 'can not open blah blah file, access denied'. I don't know what to do, not only it locks A/V exe setups but many other exe stuff too. Any idea?

Hello,
my computer won't let me access any of my programs. it keeps on saying 'Application not found'.i can't access my control panel options, download anything and actually use it, nor can I even type! it's becoming really frustrating. I've tried to download software but it won't let me use it to fix it. instead it tells me to download it again. I think the whole situation started when I downloaded iTunes and I think it got a virus. Please Help. I really want my computer to act normal again! and can you please give me some safe websites to download from so it doesnt act up anymore?

hi, this is indeed a virus.
to get rid of it, you will need to install and update an anti-virus.
i think this will not be possible in your case since the computer is not allowing you to do anything.
so, try to enter the safe mode.
to do this, press F8 repeatedly when booting your computer, before the windows logo appears.
then you may do a system restore to set your computer to the settings to a date when these problems were not yet encountered. that is the date before you downloaded the iTunes.
this should make it work normally.
>start
>all programs
>accessories
>system tools
>system restore
after the system restore, you may download the AVG free version anti-virus, or you may buy the full version.
A few words of thanks would be greatly appreciated. Add comment

my Drive (C:) deleted my McAfee , and won't allow me to redownload it, also I cant even access Drive (C:), nor can I turn on my windows firewall, help me please ?Ray
Thank you
Just as a heads up, I had this happen, and it would not let me boot into safe mode. I can't remember the name of the virus, but after reading about it, it actually stops any virus protection from running. (said installing too, but couldn't do anything.) Fortunately I had an image backup with Macrium Reflect. I did take a bad disk from another computer, mount it onto my (super secure one (after an image backup)) and run the anti-virus against the corrupt disk. That saved all my daughters music and pictures and etc....

Viruses are usually responsible for programs not opening/running. Additionally, certain viruses will not allow you to execute commands (.exe) which means its too late to download anti-virus software. If you already have anti-virus software installed:
1. Click the Microsoft 'Start' icon (bottom left of screen)
2. Scroll to locate your anti-virus software
3. Left click to open the file
4. Right-click on the program
5. Select 'Open as Administrator'
6. Run Anti-virus software
I use Spybot and it cleared up my systen on the first attempt.

Hi all, If you can get into the safe mode options by rebooting and hitting either F5 or F8 (i'm not certain which so I always hit them both one at a time over and over until it comes up :-)' this may help.
Choose 'with command prompt' and when 'c:/ ' comes up type the following
%systemroot%system32restorerstrui.exe
This 'should' get you into system restore and you follow the instructions from there.
Good luck :-)

System 32 cannot be deleted. It is needed for Windows to run.Tehe Tecko
Thank you
GOT IT!!!!! Okay...
Press the 'ON' button on your computer for a few seconds until it shuts down.
Turn it back on.
It should ask you if you want to turn on safe boot
Do safe boot with networking support
then go to start
programs
accessories
system tools
system restore
Then activate it. Wait for at least 5 minutes. Takes a while....
Then do not set it to the most recent date of restoration. Set it to the day before.
click finish.
Wait
Done.
Note: Some things that you downloaded in that time will be deleted. Good thing is. The will be gone too.
dude.
Thank you

I also found that I could not even open the system restore or command prompt, So I tried running my internet explorer as an administrator. ( Right click, click on run as administrator) I downloaded malware bytes for free and had to scan 3 times to remove all 56 viruses. haha. Its a great program and it worked well.John
Thank you
I tried running AVG in safe mode, didn't work, I tried system restore, said there was no restore point, I right clicked on the fake anti virus that was supposedly there to help, clicked on properties, found the file (can't remember the file name, but it was in the system drive/users/<computer user>/app data/local/ then dhp something or other, but an obvious folder and file that shouldn't be there, sorry can't be more specific, was freaking out and just wanted it gone!), tried to delete it in regular mode, didn't do anything, went back to safe mode and successfully deleted it, came back to regular mode, re-enabled my NIC which I'd IMMEDIATELY disabled so no info (no more info) could be transmitted, downloaded AVG update and ran a full scan.anon
