mscorwks.dll could not be loaded

[Darrenboy2011]

Hello,
I am new to this forum. I have a Dell laptop with windows 7 OS 64-bit. The problem is that for the last 2 days i have found it impossible to install anything on it as an error keeps popping up saying MSCORWKS.DLL COULD NOT BE LOADED. I have a lot of important files on my system and i don't want to loose them. Please can any one tell me how to restoring my system to a previous date say like 2 weeks ago as the system restore only allows me to go back 2 days. Thanks.

Darren.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.
When you enter the System Restore prog. can you see a box at the bottom left of the window that read "Show more restore points" If so click that!

Hi,

This issue can be caused by a damaged .NET Framework component. As .NET Framework 2.0 are installed as OS components on Windows Vista and do not appear in the Programs and Features, you can use the instructions listed below to attempt to repair it

1.Click on the Start menu, choose All Programs, then Accessories, then right-click on the Command Prompt item and select Run as administrator
2.Click Continue to authorize opening a command prompt with administrative privileges
3.Run this command in the cmd prompt: sfc /scannow
4.The cmd prompt should list text stating "Beginning system scan. This process will take some time."
5.Wait for the scan to complete (this can take several minutes so be patient)
6.When the scan completes, the SFC tool will indicate whether or not it found any integrity violations and offer you the chance to fix any that are found.

Note: There is a SPACE between "SFC" and "/Scannow", this command will take several minutes to complete and may require access to the Windows installation source files. If you are prompted to insert the CD, click "Continue" each time it prompts.

Hope it helps.

Lots of good information here Mscorwks.dll - Mscorwks.dll Not Found Error - Missing Mscorwks.dll - Fix Mscorwks.dll

First thing I would suggest is to scan for malware.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop
|MG| Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.50.1 Download
* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. Copy and Paste that log into your next reply.

Memory Processes Infected:
c:\programdata\BPK\bpk.exe (Malware.Packer.T) -> 2268 -> No action taken..

bpk.exe is a part of the Perfect Keylogger application and works in stealth mode to records all keystrokes made on your system. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system..
DISABLE AND REMOVE bpk.exe IMMEDIATELY. This process is most likely a virus or trojan. It is highly recommended that you run a FREE performance scan run a virus scan and optimize memory, CPU and Internet settings.
