Windows 7 update error 80246008 - since 08/13/2015

NoeIDP,

I am asking again out of curiosity.... have you review my lest set of logs uploaded and come up with some additional ideas to try? Would like to get this issue resolved.

NoeIDP,


****> No doubt, I understand "real life" getting in the way of things - THANKS for your on-going help.


I ran the Norton uninstaller and it ran for a few minutes and required a reboot.

<Rebooted>
<Opened cmd prompt as Administrator>
<NETSH WINSOCK RESET>
<Rebooted>

Created MGADiag report (I think I did it right)

Moving on to the rest of the removals. However, AVG has a bunch of removal tools and I do not see / know exactly which on I had installed.

NoeIDP....

NO dice!

Did all of the steps, BITS remains in an "blank" status and "Automatic (Delayed)" startup type.

Even tried to start the service by myself, but get the same - (negative) error code message.

The Avira uninstall, I did not have any folders found. The registry cleaner did not find anything in the registry (selected all products).

** is it time to "give up" and remove my HDD, put in an external case, copy the files (user folder) to another HDD via a USB connection and the Windows "Easy Transfer" program. Then reformat the HDD, install my factory WIN 7 Home Premium install. Then re-transfer the files (user folder) from the other HDD back to the laptop HDD?

NoeIDP....

I looked in the device manager (including viewing the "Show Hidden Devices") but I cannot find anything called: CFMRD Filter Driver.

**To the best of my knowledge, I do not have anything installed that is related to Comodo.
- under C:\Program Files\Comodo I have TWO folders
1) Comodo Programs Manager dated 06/27/2015 - 1 file: cu_comp.dat 6 KB
2) Comodo System Utilities dates 10/01/2015
- under C:\Program Files (x86) NO folders for Comodo - but do for others:
1) Norton PC Checkup dated 03/26/2013
2) NortonInstaller dated 07/22/2015
3) Slim Cleaner dated 08/15/2015 (with a Service & Startup Database file)??
- under C:\ProgramData I have some folders/files:
1) AVG Secure Search
2) NortonInstaller dated 08/15/2015 with 2 folders
3) OO Software dated 08/13/2015 with 2 Windows Installer Packages
4) TDSSkiller dates 09/12/2015

================

Nothing in the All Programs >> Folder display for Comodo -or- any programs listed in the start menu.

The only thing I find in the Services w/in the Admin Tools related to Comodo is:
"Comodo LPS Launcher (Comodo LivePCSupport Launcher) /
Status=blank, Startup Type=Disabled, Logon As=Local System

**But I do have "bunches" of different "greyed" items within the device manager - should I go thru and UNINSTALL / delete all of these "greyed" items from the device manager?

**I probably did a NO-NO, but I downloaded & Installed Comodo System Utilities FREE
- looking at the "autoruns" >> Drivers
- I now see "CFRMD" info follows:

Any suggestions?

Here is a link to "FreeFixer" info:
What is cfrmd.sys?

Here is another link (probably unreliable):

NoeIDP,


Man I hate it when real life interferes with your "duties" to us LOST & confused Win 7 users...

Do you have an update to my last post?
