Fix It problem solver cannot be continued because an error occured

The problem occurs also when Outlook is open and IE9 not.
It seems to be independent from an application, so hardware or network.
I see at certain moments al lot of TCP-connections (50+) and IPv4- and IPv6-loopback messages.
The antimalwareservice is running most of the time, but isn't consuming all of the CPU.
The (multiple) svchost.exe processes are consuming the CPU:
svchost.exe (netsvcs)
svchost.exe (localserviceandnoimpersonation)
svchost.exe (localservice)
svchost.exe (NetworkService)

Is it still worth an effort to try to run the Security Restore tool (didn't do it so far) to solve the Fix It problem ?
Can I do something wrong by running it ?
(I can always make a restore point first)

Hey Cujo -

Just read your postings and have some questions... Since you completed the IE Repair have you been having the same problems? Is IE working at all? And have you run the System File Checker program yet? If not then you need to do this next:

1. Go into your start menu and access the accessories folder. Right click on the link Command Prompt and select run as administrator.

2. In the black command window you will be prompted to type an action... type the following sfc /SCANNOW followed by hitting the enter key. (see attached pics and although it's hard to tell - there is a space between sfc and /SCANNOW) This will verify the integrity of your system files and repair anything that needs fixed. NOTE: if you have any kind of special customization to the shell or such those changes will be reverted back to factory conditions.

This verification process will take a short while (maybe around 20 minutes) At the end of the test you will receive a message in that command window that either system file recovery found errors to the system and repaired them -or- system file recovery did not find any corrupt files at this time. Either way just type the word exit and hit return - this will close the window. If repairs were made then you need to reboot your system now. If errors weren't found then yes I would run the security restore tool. Don't worry about some of those dll files that weren't registered - they could have been part of some old extension that you don't have anymore.

REMEMBER TO SET A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT FIRST BEFORE RUNNING REPAIR


Hopefully the sfc will repair your system and you can go back to not hating your computer again. Let me know what happens!

Tx for your message, I'm at my work now and i can try this this evening (It's now 11am in Belgium).

IE9 is working, but I'm getting continuously the message that "intranet settings are not avaible by default in Internet Explorer. Click here for more options" (translated from dutch) in the statusbar.

I don't need to have access to an intranet, but I have tried this a few months ago before the freezes started to occur.

THe result was negative. No integrity errors were found.

Just adding a bit info about 'weird' things that happen to keep this thread going...

1)
On Tuesday (Monthly Update's MS) I received updates for .NET Framework 3.5 AND .NET Framework 4, but only .NET Framework 4 is in my programs list.
Same scenario with Visual Studio 2005 AND Visual Studio 2008. Only 2008 is in my list of programs.

Is this normal ? Doesn't seems logic to me.

2)
Another thing that I'd changed around the time my troubles started was the installation of AVG9. Because I thought this was a reason for my freezes, I did an uninstall of AVG9 and changed to MS Security Essentials. But the freezes weren't disappearing.

If I check my logbooks there's a lot of start/stop activity of the multiple services. Is there anywhere an overview of all services that are normally (default) active ?
F.e. I couldn't read my card with my cardreader unless I had started manually the SmartCard service.
