Windows 7: WerFault.exe Application Error

Hey all,

First post. Hopefully I could get some help here as I obviously can't seem to get this on my own. And hopefully this is the correct forum to post this, if not moved it.

I am having a problem where I keep receiving the same error over and over. It started happening after I got infected by the AV Security Suite spyware. It has since been removed with PC-Tool's Spyware Doctor.

I try to many programs and I keep getting errors titled:

WerFault.exe, firefox.exe (for firefox), hpqgpc01.exe (don't know), rundll32.exe, [program name].exe, etc - Application Error

The prompt reads:

The instruction at 0x0000022 referenced memory at 0x00000022. The memory could not be written.

Click OK to terminate.

It also happens when I try to run some setups.

Another error simply reads:

Error
Access violation at address 00000022. Read of address 00000022.

I try to uninstall the program through Control Panel -> Programs and this pops-up

An error occurred while trying to uninstall [program]. It may have already been uninstalled.

Would you like to remove [program] from the Programs and Features list?

Click Yes, and nothing happens.



I redownload the pogram, open the setup, error.

I have already tried disable Windows Error Reporting (for WerFault.exe) through the services.msc and errors keep popping up.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You wouldnt by chance have a backup from before the problem started would you?

Failing that do you have a win 7 dvd to do a repair install?

No to both.

BTW this file hpqgpc01.exe is part of HP printer driver

Yeah. I figured it had to do with HP, but strange as I wasn't using the printer or anything associated with it when the error popped up.

Are those my only two options at fixing this issue?

What would you suggest then? Clean install of the OS?

I just experienced the same issue after getting a spyware infection. I ran Safe Mode and did a Recovery. Completely solved my problems.
