Solved I need help repairing corrupt files found by SFC /SCANNOW

[Les46410]

I have run sfc /scannow multiple times and have followed the advice to put the data into the file cbs.txt. I have attached this file and would really appreciate help in dealing with the corrupt files. Thanks

Hi Les,

Nothing actually wrong the log is only reporting Info changes.

I've been seeing a lot of this type of cbs activity lately.
MY OWN feeling is that the comp is being prepaired for W10.

Hi Roy,

Thanks for the reply. That is good news I think. The reason I was looking for corrupt files was a problem with links that do not respond in the control center. I can access the control panel features but if I click on the individual links nothing happens. I can get to the individual apps by following the progression page by page until I reach the application I was trying to use. Also, when I install any program when I get to the finish button, I get the message "Cocreateinstancefailed; code 0x80040154 class not recognized. The programs will run OK, but do not put an icon on the desktop. This behavior prompted me to try to find corrupt files with sfc /scannow. I am back to square one as far as these issues go. Do you have any ideas that I could try?

Thanks,
Leslie

Hi Les,
That error message bit of an odd one, sounds like something has made a registry change to you permissions.
Do you have any third party Tune-up utilities installed.
Could you also check the AVG changes log.

Hi Roy,

I do have Wise Care 365 which has a tune up feature and Tweaking.com. I am using AVG free and I don't think it has a changes log as far as I can determine, advise me if you know where to find it. Interestingly the OS works fine except for the anomalies that I just defined. I have run Spybot as well as Malwarebytes and they come up clean.

Hi Les,
i do know that wise has a registry clean up option, dont know if its auto on, but it should have a rescue/restore setting.
tweaking is an all in one tool, you select the option/s to run

the logs for most tools/av's is usually found in its history section.

Hi Roy,
I have attached the history files from AVG. The Wise Care utility has never been a problem before (I use it on four additional computers). Interestingly, when I clicked on Wise Care to look at the history and restore feature a box popped up that said "Class Not Registered". I clicked on the OK button a number of times until the box disappeared and then Wise Care opened normally. I restored everything that Wise Care removed since November 2015.

Hi Roy,

I missed that, sorry here is the file.

OOOPS.

Hi Les,
see you ran combofix, BET you didnt turn off AVG when you ran it

I know you didnt AVG quarateined the files, that it was trying to clean/repair.

You need to rerun Combofix with AVG OFF, so that it can complete the repair/change.
ITs not a tool to be taken lightly

Roy,

I ran Combo Fix (with AVG turned off). It did not change my problems, but I'm sure it took care of the quarantined files.

ROY,

Here is the log from Combo Fix

Hi Les,
no Malware expert but it did remove some leftovers(orphans).

If you know roughly when the links failed, have a look at the last 30 days part of the Combofix log, you might be able to pin it down.

Anyway try this fix

Hi Roy,

Thanks for sticking with me on this problem. I restored file associations via the link you sent, but the issues have remained the same. The computer does seem faster though, so perhaps there was some good from that exercise.

Roy,
I ran a scan with Rkill (log attached) and it indicates missing services. Can you help me with this? Thanks.

Les

 

[torchwood]

Hi Les,
Those missing services
Your defrag service, there are other better free ones out there
The other one is your System restore function

Dll's just dont go missing.

READ ONLY,

Remove System Restore (Uninstall Guide)


if you have experienced any of the other symptoms that are mentioned here, i would suggest you follow the guidelines, for expert removal in that forum.

Roy,

I went to the site and followed applicable steps and ran Rkill again (log attached). It does appear to have fixed some issues. However, the same problems exist on this system. I do recall some months ago that while installing an update, there was a power outage. When I rebooted this computer there were multiple problems so I ran Tweaking.com and it seemed to run OK after that fix. I wonder if that incident is the root cause of the current problems?

OH they do anything and everything.

more than likely the cause.

as youve got a desktop i assume you've got repair disks.

Roy,

I thank you for your efforts.After all was said and done, the best and only reasonable fix was an in place upgrade. I would have saved a lot of time (and yours) if I had taken the most extreme measure first. All is good again. I appreciate your expertise and diligence.
