  That's good news. I think you also need to analyze of rootkits being on the right side. So, now:

  Search for rootkits with a program SPECIALLY designed to detect and remove the (aswMBR):

  http://public.avast.com/~Gmerek/aswMBR.htm

  Download this file to your desktop. Double-click the icon to run the program. When the opportunity to download and install the latest Avast definitions do.

  Run a scan. Results in red indicate that this was not a false positive! Do you need to remove the rootkit (including "FixMBR" if necessary).

  And finally, leave your PC on overnight and search for viruses, using this site:
  http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/
  Once we are convinced that your PC is clean, here are my instructions (just in case where you still cannot run batch of Geek-Tech file, etc.):

  1. download the installation of SP3 and IE8 (beforehand) files. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links for the installation files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  (You need to install IE8 AFTER SP3! Trust in me.)

  IMPORTANT NOTE!

  It is VERY important to ensure that Internet Explorer is at the level IE6 before installing SP3. In case you have IE7 or IE8, you must uninstall it / them, using the Control Panel Add / Remove programs. Let us know if you need assistance with this.

  Once again:

  Make sure that IE is IE6 level before installing SP3. You can go directly from IE6 to IE8 after SP3 has been installed.

  2. disconnect Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices.

  3. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

  Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

  4 set up a clean boot. The last thing you need is for a program that runs in the background to interfere with these updates! (It happens!) For more information:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  (Note that this is the same as setting up a "Diagnostic boot.")

  Reset.

  5 install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

  6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  7 unscrew the clean boot. (That is, return to the Normal startup).

  8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

  Start | Control Panel | Security Center

  9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

  10 re - enable automatic updates.

  The following occurred during the installation of Service Pack 1a tried to download files from the service pack 1 on the internet:

  The server did not respond.

  This happened again and again I clicked retry. The program tries to connect to http://xpSP1.microsoft.com/isapi/pstream3.dll/xp/SP1.USA.1106a

  I also followed the links he is said to take on the web page of the service pack for installation troubleshooting. I am only given a choice to restore the default settings on the automatic updates. I have not automatically updated.

  You try to update a system restore which is now Windows XP 'Or' (without service pack)?

  If so, please read the tips following long-standing MS MVP PA Bear.

  1. Make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.
  2. Uninstall any moment invalid Norton, McAfee, etc., free version of test which was also reinstalled, run the appropriate removal tool (see below), and then install an application antivirus of your choice (for example, http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspxMicrosoft Security Essentials- free).
  3. Arrival to Windows Update & get the computer fully patched.
  4. Install Windows Defender [Editor's Note: obsolete; do not install] or another anti-spyware application that integrates a real-time protection.

  TIP: Use another and negative computer to download programs for, for example, SP2 or SP3 installation, the installer for your new anti-virus application and or other removal tools cited below.

  Hello

  1. How do you try to install Windows XP service pack 3?

  2 did you change on your computer before this problem?

  You can follow the suggestions and check out them.

  Method 1

  You can follow the procedure in the article.

  How to troubleshoot an installation fails on Windows XP Service Pack 3

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950718

  Note: Antivirus can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2

  You can reset the grocery store.

  a. click on start, then run.

  b. type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Windows and press OK.

  c. remove all files in the folder.

  Note: You can export the workflow before you restore it and import it on the computer.
