    At least we only have the one Key to repair (hopefully!)


    I've uploaded a file - actcent.zip - to my SkyDrive at Noel's SkyDrive
    Please download and save it to your desktop.
    Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all...
    Save it to the default location
    This should create a file actcent.reg

    right-click on the file, and select Merge
    Accept the warnings, - you should then get a 'Success' message.
    Close all windows, and reboot.


    Run another Farbar scan, and post the results.

    Is Windows Update working now?
