General Chat

I have a Kodak Easy Share camera Jude, but I didn't install the Easy Share disc. I (as Errol says) just plug the camera into the computer, follow the Wizard and save them directly to My Pictures.

Because I also have Picasa installed, my pictures are automatically saved there too.

Ok - dog is dry, cat has gone out l have given up!!! .... OH is now talking to b i l about leaking dish/washer - before he phoned him l asked if he could shove the smelly towels in the w/machine - he then went out to the garage to put them in t/dryer .....grrr ; have dun it meself:o))

l 'm about to go and look at these other sites as in grisoft (the oven is on, so have,nt got long).

jude :o)

Jude, if you plug the camera into the computer via USB it ought to recognise it as an external hard drive so you shouldn't need Easyshare to download the photographs - just copy them across.

Yes Rosalind - a full uninstall and reinstall would do the trick but AVG may still flag it up as a false positive. I think the latest definition file is causing problems.

Yeh - oh l see take it to a shop:o))))))

Rosalind - just seen your last post. Thins is l have easyshare camera and need to download pics from it - if l don't have easyshare how will l be able to put on puter!!! ???

jude

Kemp - straight onto the puter - l have saved some to disc, but not done them all, yet!!!

Errol - thank you:o))) never mind, l dun it now:o((

Ok off now as believe it or not the dog has just come in smelling of something awful and is having a bath, OH needs me to help dry the little sod!!!:o(( lol

It's a shame you have deleted the infected files from your Virus Vault, otherwise you could have sent them to me so I could have taken a look to ascertain whether they are indeed infected. As Rosalind rightly says, there is much documentation about false negatives regarding Easyshare. Basically what happens is AVG detects Easyshare as a false threat if you have the latest virus definitions and quarantines it rendering the programme useless.
Now I know what you are thinking - you should never send someone an infected file but it really is ok - we have the technology lol
(I wouldn't advise anyone without the necessary security and software to do this!)

Hello Erroll - the chap l was trying to get hold of has'nt got back to me - he lives about 20 - 30 mins from me and charges £50 plus what work he does. He may not be doing repairs anymore (lbought the puter from him, he made it). The chap l have spoken to said that AVG free and Norton Spyware are fine, it was me who thought l ought to upgrade my puter. So l will take it into the iT chap l spoke to on Thursday - they are usually ok, l have heard good results from other people.

Thanks for helping though everyone - perhaps l ought to let this thread go now, l don't want to confuse everyone - gawd l'm confused enough - dowwww lol

do you put your photos onto disc in the photo shop ...or straight on to your computer jude

PS your photo issue is with the software and not the images themselves, in my opinion.

Hi Jude
I have a few little concerns here that you say this IT chap costs a lot of mone. How much is he charging?
He should have told you to scan in Safe Mode and I also do not agree that you "should" have enough protection. He should also have talked you through how to retrieve your photographs, and what is wrong with the free edition of AVG? Millions of users worldwide surely can't be wrong.
Apologies if I am stepping on toes but I don't think you are being given the best advice here - particularly if it is costing a fortune. As a comparison, PC World (who are not necessarily the least expensive!) will carry out a PC health check including virus removal for less than 50 quid.

Yes l can view the folder then the pics:o))) l was just saying to someone else it might be better to use another photo thingy anyway.

will take alook at the grisoft:o)


sorry l take so long getting back to you:o)
l have a cat in lounge that l'm trying to get to use the dirt box and have to keep checking he has'nt done it in the dogs bed again!!!! lol - even though its tipped on its side!!!

jude
be back in a mo - lol

PS when l did the scans etc - everything else was turned off, as in l closed email etc

Erm what is in safe mode :o((( gawd l must sound so stupid:o((( the other thing is l still have'nt got my easyshare/kodak stuff back, its saying Easyshare Preview error 'application not found' - grrr but most if not all the photo's are on the puter (hard drive??)
l will get the IT to look at it defo Thursday - thought l could deal with it.

Thanks Rosalind:o))

jude :o)
jude

Done 2 scans - everything ok:o))))

Colin are you there????

jude :o)

Hiya everyone - l have been talking to a IT chap on the phone and l have deleted the trojans from the vault:o)) just going to do another scan whilst l watch Neighbours.
Fingers crossed - he said they may come back, they may not, if they do then l'll take it into him. He says l should be protected by what l have - but l may upgrade AVG, as its the free one. The Norton is spyware and the two do work together - l have firewall Zonealarm.

Sorry l did'nt give you all the info yesterday - l did'nt know where to look (daft bat) until l had had time to sort me head out!!! lol

see yeh in a while:o)

Hi Brian :)

Are you using a 2007 Adaware version. I believe Lavasoft the makers stopped doing updates for any previous versions of Adaware on December the 31st last

Thanks, Rosalind.

I've updated many times without problems, so am foxed as to what's going wrong.
