Hello all-

Recently I tried to install automatic updates from the windows update tool and have ran into the following issues noted in the topic of this post. The automatic install of latest security update was 3-4 days ago (Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - November 2013 (KB890830). Now the windows update icon appears in the notification area of the task bar stating "Window's can't check for updates". Upon clicking on the icon to check for updates, the process is unsuccessful with the following error code: 80070490

Tried to perform a "repair install" from the factory reinstallation DVD. All went well until the option to choose the Upgrade option. It was not available to click and a message stated that the "upgrade function has been disabled".

Now I'm concerned that there may be either Malware or virus infection or possibly something else. I'll post logs of scans very soon after this post.

Thanks!!!

Hello and welcome to GeekPolice.Net My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.
*****************************************************************
Did you follow the instructions here?

Remove the Adware:

  • Please close all open programs and internet browsers.
  • Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
  • Click on Delete.
  • Confirm each time with OK
  • Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.
  • Please post the content of that logfile in your reply.
  • You can find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[Sn].txt as well - n is the order number.

**********************************************
Update Your Java (JRE)

Old versions of Java have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.


First Verify your Java Version

If there are any other version(s) installed then update now.

Get the new version (if needed)

If your version is out of date install the newest version of the Sun Java Runtime Environment.

Note: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update. The pre-checked toolbars/software are not part of the Java update.

Be sure to close ALL open web browsers before starting the installation.

Remove any old versions

1. Download JavaRa and unzip the file to your Desktop.
2. Open JavaRA.exe and choose Remove Older Versions
3. Once complete exit JavaRA.

Additional Note: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. To disable the JQS service if you don't want to use it, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and reboot your computer.

Please try this:

Please download and run MS Fix-it from here.

The link directed me to here: Automatically diagnose and fix Windows audio playback problems

I do not have audio playback issues, but I tried to run the Fix-it link anyways. After running as administrator, and error message box popped up stating "Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occurred"

Different link?

If you click on the "visit our solution center" there are other fixes there.

Hi-
Thanks for the reply!  Tried other fixes and none of them work.  All cause the following error pop-up windows stating "Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occured".

Help?

Ok, let's try this:

Do you have an XP CD?

If so, place it in your CD ROM drive and follow the instructions below:
•Click on Start > Run and type sfc /scannow then press Enter (note the space between scf and /scannow)
*Let this run undisturbed until the window with the blue progress bar goes away
SFC - Which stands for System File Checker, retrieves the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.

all that i have is the windows vista reinstallation DVD; i do not have any XP CD's. Will the Vista DVD work?

So I went ahead and tried SFC scan with the Windows Vista DVD in and it completed the scan with 100% verification. The scan stated that it found corrupt files but not all could be fixed. The CBS.log file is EXTREMELY long, do I need to post the results?

Sorry, the information on your thread says you're running XP. Your best bet would be to backup your important data and figure out a way to do a repair or re-install.

Where on the thread does it say I'm running XP? I'm confused.

My second post on this thread from the AdwCleaner log shows the operating system as Windows Vista. Am I missing something?

Thanks! :-)
