Security Center disables automatically/Redirected on search engines

[Capt.Jack Sparrow]

Hello there,

I think it's best to also Reboot the system in Selective Startup Run Selective Startup using System Configuration and run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

Also test it in a new Windows Profile

1. Open User Accounts by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking User Accounts and Family Safety (or clicking User Accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking User Accounts.
2. Click Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3. Click Create a new account.
4. Type the name you want to give the user account, click an account type, and then click Create Account.

Hope this helps!
Captain

@ Jack Sparrow: i still had the problems on the new account.
@ Marsmimar: i dont think i have a Local Users/Groups manager.

I did get an error during the sfc /scannow. Should i post the details log?

 

[marsmimar]

Re: Local Users/Groups manager. I just noticed you have Home Premium. The manager is available in 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions. Sorry. (See here for additional info.) To confirm that it's not available, click Start > right click Computer > Manage.

If SFC found an error it's recommended to run the scan 3-4 more times. If the error is still unable to be fixed it wouldn't hurt to post the CBS.log file.

 

[phillywells]

yeah i dont have the manager after all . I ran the scan several times and kept getting the error so im going to post the log file.

Hello there,

Seems like the issue is with Autochk.exe

Cannot repair member file [l:22{11}]"autochk.exe" of  Microsoft-Windows-Autochk, Version = 6.1.7601.17514, pA =  PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL (0), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1  nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type neutral,  TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral in the store, hash mismatch

See if you can apply the hotfix The Chkdsk.exe program does not start correctly on a Windows 7-based computer that has an update for Auto

 

[Jacee]

I see Kaspersky in the log ... is this your antivirus? IOBIT may have deleted one of it's important files.

Uninstall IOBIT!

Next, open MBam and be sure that this item is checked, and click Remove Selected

Registry Keys Infected:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\XMZH42I4GI (Trojan.FakeAlert.SA) -> No action taken.

@ Jack Sparrow: Ok, ive applied the hotfix and re-scanned but nothing has changed. In the properties on the details tab for autochk.exe, everything is blank except for Type, Size, and Date modified. Does it supposed to be like that?


@ Jacee: I did what you requested.


I even tried what HappyFacePCs mentioned here http://www.sevenforums.com/system-s...t-turn-windows-security-center-service-3.html but Microsoft Security Essentials didnt find anything in safe mode.

Karl -

I found this Microsoft forum Q&A. Don't know if will help in this case but thought I'd throw it out FWIW.

The windows security center service can't be started. - Microsoft Answers

Thanks. Looks like the procedure is worth carrying out. I'll make sure that Philly tries this out.

 

[karlsnooks]

Philly,

Did you have an opportunity to look at the link provided by marsimar?

The windows security center service can't be started. - Microsoft Answers


Incidentally, you are receiving some support from what I refer to as the big guns. These guys, and girls, should blow your virus sky high.

 

[phillywells]

ok for some reason, malwarebytes just found a virus that it hadnt found before so i deleted it and rebooted the system and now the security center and MSE starts up fine now . One thing though, im still getting that error when i run the sfc scan

 

[Golden]

Hi Philly,

Great news there on the malware front. Keep MalwareBytes updated, and do some manual scans with that occasionally - it compliments MSE very nicely.

Regarding the sfc issue, did you try the link that Capt. Jack posted in Post # 25 above?

Regards,
Golden

 

[phillywells]

hmm, when i run the .msu file, it says the update isnt applicable to my computer.

 

[karlsnooks]

Please run SFC /SCANNOW afresh. If you do not get a message about all files being verified, then reboot and run sfc /scannow again. If you do not get a msg about all files being verified, then:

REBOOT.

Boot up into safe mode.

run CMD.exe as administrator.

Navigate to \windows\logs\cbs

Enter following:
findstr c:/"[SR]" CBS.LOG > sfcdetails.txt

Attach the sfcdetails.txt to your next post.

Hello there!

I would also suggest one more tip. Follow this article http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/42776-extract-files-windows-7-installation-dvd.html and replace that files from the installation DVD. That might work.

 

[Jacee]

Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.

@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0

Save as flush.bat to your desktop. Right click to run as Administrator. Your computer will reboot itself.

Next, download TFC by Old Timer TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer - Geeks to Go Forums and save it to your desktop.
Save any unsaved work. TFC will close ALL open programs including your browser!
Double-click on TFC.exe to run it. If you are using Vista/Windows 7 right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.
Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion.

Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.

Now tell us if you're still getting errors, infections, redirected and hanging apps.

 

[karlsnooks]

any reason for such a small timeout value?
any reason for the del %0%?

 

[phillywells]

ok guys i replaced the autochk.exe using the installation dvd and it works fine, but sfc is still reporting an error. I want to post it on here, but when i typed in "findstr c:/"[SR]" CBS.LOG > sfcdetails.txt" it said Cannot open CBS.LOG

 

[karlsnooks]

philly,
Read this carefully and all will be well.



System File Checker – SFC

System File Checker checks system files and restores them if possible.

To run System File Checker:
WIN | type CMD.EXE | do NOT hit Enter| CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER key combo | YES button
WIN is the key with the Microsoft flag on top.

Enter SFC /SCANNOW
When System File Checker finishes, if all went well, you will see:
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Otherwise, you will see:
---Help me out here guys and gals—my system is ok. Need sample

If all did not go well:
· RESTART your computer
· Run sfc /scannow again
· If all did not go will, then
Use the findstr command to view the results.

VIEW THE RESULTS
· Reboot your computer.
· Immediately start tapping the SPACEBAR
When the Windows Boot Manager screen appears, Press the F8 key
· In the Advanced Boot Options screen, highlight Safe Mode and press the ENTER key.
· WIN | type CMD.EXE | do NOT hit Enter |
right-click on cmd.exe in the list above |
select Run as administrator
WIN is the key with the Microsoft flag on top.
· Enter CD /D %windir%\cbs\logs
· Enter Findstr /c:"[SR]" cbs.log > sfcdetails.txt
· If sfcdetails.txt has a size of 0, you made a typo.
· Enter Notepad sfcdetail.txt
· Go to the end (Ctrl + End)
· Cannot repair member file indicates a problematic file



Attach the sfcdetails.txt file to your next post.

 

[phillywells]

did that, but when i got to enter CD /D %windir%\cbs\logs it says the system cant find the path specified.

 

[karlsnooks]

then do it again.

You made a typo.

Of course, you can do it piece-wise.

cd /d %windir%
cd .\logs
cd .\cbs

notice the period before the back-slash.

Be sure to run cmd.exe as an administrator.
