Solved severe registry errors???

[pehrsonc]

I have been having troubles trying to download and install programs. I keep getting error messages. (i have attached 3). The programs will download but when it comes to the install part, i get the errors. Even when trying to install the Windows updates it sometimes has a problem.
I have also had video buffering issues and trying to watch anything online, even Netflix, I can't even get through two or three minutes without it stopping. Even if I pause it, let it buffer the whole video, and then play, it still doesn't help.
I don't know what to do.

Try System File Checker
Run a scan of Malwarebytes

After installing Malwarebytes click the update tab, update and run full scan.

I ran the System file checker and it found no integrity violations.

I clicked on the link for the Malwarebytes and tried to download from MajorGeek page and got the error below...

 

[Jacee]

Try this link Malwarebytes Right click, click run as Administrator, to open and run it

Jacee,
I did what you said and got this...

no matter what I try to install i get error messages

What antivirus are you using?

Run a full scan and quarantine/delete anything it finds. If it finds something they usually give you one or both options.


Go here Microsoft site. Do the Full service scan.

Are you plugged in to your router? ... try plugging directly into the modem.

Hopalong,

I'm using AVG 9 free edition. I have tried to update but cannot...keep getting the error message. Anyway tried the Microsoft service scan and got this error message...

 

[Jacee]

Have you activated your version of Windows 7 and downloaded Windows Security updates? AVG 9 has been out dated for quite some time.

See if you can download DDS from one of these links:
Mirror 1 Mirror 2 Mirror 3

• Disable any script blocking protection
• Right click the dds icon to run the tool as Administrator
• When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
  1. DDS.txt
  2. Attach.txt <--this will be minimized in the task tray
• Save both reports to your desktop.

Include the contents of both logs in your next post.
The scan will instruct you to post Attach.txt as an attachment.

If you managed to download malwarebytes - then rename the installer from mbam-setup-1.46.exe , to

something else - e.g. my.exe

Then try running the installer. You may need to rename the mbam.exe to somethingelse.exe to run it after install.

 

[Jacee]

Actually, MBam should be 'renamed' before saving

 

[SIW2]

Yes - looks he already downloaded it - just can't run it.

 

[pehrsonc]

here are the reports...

 

[Jacee]

That's why I'm hoping to see a DDS log, SIW2

 

[pehrsonc]

Jacee,
here are the reports...

The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
If your anti-virus or firewall complains, please allow this script to run as it is not malicious.
Next: Disconnect from the internet. If you are on Cable or DSL, unplug your computer from the modem.
Next: Please disable all onboard security programs (all running with back ground protection) as it may hinder the scanner from working.
This includes Antivirus, Firewall, and any Spyware scanners that run in the background.

• Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
• When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall
Please be patient while the scan runs, at times it may appear to stall.
When finished and after reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it should open a log, combofix.txt.
After rebooting ensure your Security applications have been re-enabled.

Jacee,
I have a dual boot with windows 7 and xp pro. but really only use 7. i could get rid of xp if needed. i don't know if that makes a difference but every little piece of info helps i guess.
Thanks for all the help

I was able to run the flush.bat
I disabled my AVG 9 resident shield and disconnected from the internet.
I downloaded and saved Combofix to desktop and ran as administrator.
I got this...

 

[Jacee]

I Will have to get back to you tommorrow, as it's 10pm here and the lights are being shut off around me.

 

[Jacee]

Sorry, I thought I saw 32bit instead of
windows 7 home premium 64 bit

Combofix will not run on 64bit.
