CyberDefender diagnosis claimed the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\defrag.exe file is missing.
Original title: CyberDefender diagnosis
This promo 'Double my speed .com' is a bait & switch. $40 for their 'diagnostic' software, then someone turns to sell you a package of $400 maintenance. A container of the slow cooker. However, their 'diagnostic' has stated that this file is missing from my system:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\defrag.exe
I have had a lot of wrong with my Firefox browser lock up lately (which the 'seller' useful said they could fix), so I came on this site to download it, but a search comes empty. Has anyone concerned with that?
Hi Benthoven,
You can try to run the disc, defragment, and see if it works. If it works, then you can ignore the message of C:\Windows\SysWOW64\defrag.exe.
Step 1:
You can read the following article and try to run Disk Defragmenter.
Improve performance by defragmenting your hard drive
Step 2:
You can read the following article to download the Microsoft Safety Scanner and perform a full scan on your computer.
Note: When you perform the analysis, there are chances of losing the data that you can take a backup of important data before performing analysis.

on startup, I get interactive services detection window
Program or device attention requestion
Message title: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
program path: C:\Windows\SysWow64\cmd.exe
How can I fix it.
I did a clean boot, and then returned to normal
and I still get the error.
What should I do or how to find what is the cause of the error.
As much as I know there is no installation pending?
Hello
Because the question is not moved in a clean boot state, meaning that a program in normal mode gives you the error. I suggest opening this link, click on for more information, expand the Windows 7 and Windows Vista section. Now, go to step 6 and check the second point which says "If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 to 5 and select only half superior of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list.» Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes. " try to do exactly the same thing and come back with the result.
Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 in the above article.
Please post with the State of the question.

How do you remove Trojan horse from the Windows\system\svchost.exe file located? I worked on this problem for 5 days. I've tried everything except wipe the hard drive completely and starting over. Windows xp pro sp3
I bought a new diagnosis program and quarantined the virus once it has been identified. I tried to remove the virus in several ways, but it comes back. The best way that I thought would work enter safe mode and by changing the attributes of the svchost.exe file and then delete and checked the registry AWI hwo to the Web site, but it continues to be problematic.

------------------------------Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have

While performing a full scan of my computer with AVG Internet Security it came with both viruses. Is "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\winservices.exe"; "" Virus detected BackDoor.Bifrose ' and the other '81192.exe C:\Users\Ron\AppData\Local\Temp\Patch '; "" Virus detected BackDoor.Bifrose "and the two have been moved to the quarantine.

C:\Windows\SysWow64\CScript.exe appears whenever my computer starts. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?
M. Shivkumar, I also encountered this problem, and after following the instructions given by Linney, I've isolated the problem to the boot service "CheckNDISPort", which was linked to the MTS MBlaze program on my computer. It is not a virus, nothing to worry about. You can stop this from happening by disabling the boot service called 'CheckNDISPort' in the tab, start the System Configuration utility. It is not to damage your computer if you keep it checked.

When open any browser, I keep getting an alert/c 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe' C:\Windows\system32\regsvr32.exe /s "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\browsername\ I am led to believe, it is malware & have updated & run the MS Malware Removal Tool, but the problem persists.
Hello
Yes, that's what I say. Here are a few posts where MiniToolBox is used: -
I have problems with the sound on my PC (i.e., no noise at all). He told me that the Sndvol32.exe file is missing. I went through the 'fix - it' and the solution is to extract the file from the Windows XP CD. My PC did not come with it - otherwise, how can I get this file? Thanks in advance!
Most of the people do not have a genuine XP bootable CD. This is good advice if you have a true bootbale CD, but given that the majority of people have never seen one in their life, why start there? That's why this kind of troubleshooting tips kill me...
The fix it will not help you.
This will help you:
I downloaded a copy of the file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).
You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
c:\Windows\System32
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:
http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311
When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.
You have to put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.
That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.
Of course the file must never be missing, so something has badly haywire.
If the system is working properly, what do you think has happened since the last time, that he did not work properly?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
No matter what you use for the antivirus/antimalware protection, I followed with some other respectable malware scanners, and then fix any problems:Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/They can be uninstalled later if you wish.Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues. -
Windows Boot Configuration data file is missing required information
Hello
I am trying to boot up my laptop and the Windows Boot Manager appears saying that Windows could not start.
File: \boot\bcd
Status 0xc000000d
Info: The windows boot configuration data file is missing required information.
I have a laptop Dell Inspiron notebook, which came with Windows 7 pre-installed so I didn't have an installation disc, nor do I have a CD player. How can I solve this problem and is it simple? I tried to turn on my new laptop and pressing F8 but nothing happens and the windows Boot Manager appears again. Can someone help me please, or I'll have to return someone to solve this problem for me?
Thank you
Michael
