Umm... I took computer programming a few years ago in high school, and when something like this happened, I knew something was wrong.

My fault - I forgot how big that Key actually was!

please use the links from Shawn's post (thanks Shawn - I hadn't seen those before!)

You're welcome Noel.

One of the registry key needs to be fixed.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1}

Go to the specified path in registry and change the default value to

%Windows%\system32\shell32.dll

Shawn - ZP's Key looks like this...

Hmm - there's obviously something still blocking the services.

Please copy the content of the following code box to Notepad, and save it to your desktop as fixreg.reg
right-click on the saved file, and select Merge.

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1}]
@="MruPidlList"

  00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,73,00,68,00,\
  65,00,6c,00,6c,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\wuauserv\Parameters]
"ServiceDll"=hex(2):43,00,3a,00,5c,00,57,00,69,00,6e,00,64,00,6f,00,77,00,73,\

  61,00,75,00,65,00,6e,00,67,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00
 
.


Please then run the following commands in an Elevated Command Prompt....

REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1} /S
REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1} /S
REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{42aedc87-2188-41fd-b9a3-0c966feabec1} /S

and post the results.

I've also ran the program you mentioned. When I installed and rebooted, my firewall gave me an alert about Zumocast, which it never has before, so it must be working now. Also, the icon for Malware Bytes is now blue, while before, it was grey.

Bother! - It looks like I'll have to cast a wider net.

Please do the following - some may seem irrelevant, but it's an easy way of getting diagnostics run :)

we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
(download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.

Please run the FarBar scanner again, and post a new report.

Please open Windows Update and do a manual check for updates - what's found?
Attempt to download/install ONLY the oldest update available (check in the details in the right pane)
What happens? (which update?)
Assuming that update fails - please download it for offline install and see what error it results in (if any)

I did as you said for the Windows updates, but when I went to scan, it didn't find any, other than 41 optional updates (34 of them being language packs, 5 being IE 9, nVidia Graphics Adapter, a few updates for the OS, and a definition update for Microsoft Security Essentials). All of the Win 7 updates date back to 2012. Should I download them?

Strange.
Please pick one of the optional OS updates, and attempt to install it - see what happens.
(a thought - did you check to see if any updates are hidden?)
