Malicious software has been installed on my system and now I start to a corrupt registry error

MALWARE IS HOSTAGE MY COMPUTER I CAN'T OPEN WINDOWS SO I CAN'T INSTALL OR DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE TO REMOVE IT PLEASE HELP!

The message says can not open corrupt windows file.

Oh, I think the error message said a little more than that.  Maybe it was one of them:

  • Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
  • Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE

If so, Microsoft provides a long and complicated method to solve this (which will only work if the system restore service has worked correctly): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545

Before you begin this procedure, however, see the post of Jose Ibarra marked as the answer in this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system/after-windows-restart-and-then-no-configsystem/83d5c57f-9836-4f3a-bec8-04c7d81861d3 (both and you did answer my question about if you had a Windows XP installation CD).

Of course, if my crystal ball was cloudy and that you actually had a different error message, please provide - without paraphrase.

    the sticker on my laptop has disappeared/deleted and I am not able to see the full key for windows vista operating system has been pre-installed on the laptop and now she asks activation and I did not quite correct key because he got faded/deleted, how can I get the key to work on the laptop I have compaq-presario-cq60-420 US laptop.please help me or give me the microsoft contact numbers where I can get my key of windows vista back by providing the serial number and the product number for my laptop.  I am unable to work as the laptop does not work without the activation key.

    Hello

    You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Also that, read also:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a fee, if they still have available to them.

    _____________________________________________________________

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    ____________________________________________________________

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

  • Error: Device driver software has been installed correctly

    I built a new desktop computer and installed Vista x 32 last summer.  I had no problems until recently, when I tried to plug in a flash drive a friend and Vista has problems to install the driver.  I received the message:

    Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.
    USB mass storage device
    Not enough memory is available to process this command.

    I ended up plugging the flash drive on my laptop and transfer the files to my desktop on my home network.  The second problem occurred a few weeks later, when the internal memory card reader that I had installed has stopped working.  I thought it was a driver problem, so I uninstalled the device by using Device Manager and restarted my computer, thinking that the plug-and-play device should be automatically reinstalled.  Upon reboot, Vista tried to reinstall the device and ends with a similar message to what I had received for the flash player.

    I was determined to get my pictures on my computer so I plugged into an external USB card reader.  I received the same message when trying to install it.  Finally, I tried to plug directly into my Canon SD880IS, but again received the message.

    Does anyone know why Vista does not recognize one of these USB devices?  I tried a variety of USB ports on my computer without success and everything that I had already installed works always.  I'm not sure what the message is referring when he said "not enough memory is available to process this command."  I have 151 GB free on my disk system and 4 GB of memory installed.

    Thanks in advance!

    spritemv, do a SFC scan for me, let's see what are the results:

    The System File Checker tool:

    To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    2. Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    3. At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow
    4. When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    Although your question could not be linked with protected system files, I check if you have any other corruptions on your system.
    It maybe your Windows Installation has picked up corruption over time by the program facilities.

    To continue:
    What happens when you start with a card inserted into your card reader, memory does make a difference of recognition?
    If it is a device that you have personally installed, you can check the OEM for any possible driver update, we can use?

    Check the status of the device and the driver Version:

    1. Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. Double-click the category containing your device driver, and then double-click the device name.
    3. Check the status of the device under the driver tab click on general tab, check driver provide Date of the driver, the driver Version, digital signer. Please provide this information.
    4. Click OK, exit Device Manager.

    See if you can completely uninstall and reinstall your card reader who follows the steps, please check the categories for the time installed thumbdrive you mentioned to see if we can remove that as well:

    Uninstall the drivers of hidden devices:

    1. Click Start-> click all programs-> on Accessories-> right click on command prompt, select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    2. At the command prompt, type the following commands (press ENTER after each):
    3. SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES = 1
    4. devmgmt.msc
    5. When in Device Manager, click view and then show hidden devices
    6. Expand the category that contains your device, and then double-click the name of your device.
    7. Click the driver tab and then click on uninstall.
    8. If there is remove the software this box of the device driver, check (make sure that you have an internet connection so that you can buy these drivers). Read and confirm notification, click OK.
    9. Quit Device Manager and restart your computer.
    10. You will be asked at new hardware detected. Select search and install the driver software. Check permissions. Windows will now search for the driver for your hardware and reinstall.
    11. Retest the device

If the problem is resolved, delete the DeleteFilters.cmd file that you created.

  • Received the error that my operating system has been installed too many times and does not allow installation.

    installs Windows is no longer permitted

    Hi, my sons computer crashed several times due to hardware problems. It resulted in windows being installed several times. He just had a disk crash and after installing a new disk, windows indicate that the key has been used repeatedly, not allowing an installation again. How can I fix it?

    Use the Activate by phone and speak to a live operator.

    Activate by phone

    Click the Start button
    in the search box, type
    SLUI 4
    and press the Enter key
    Follow the instructions - but when asked which service you need the ansafone phone, don't answer - it should oblige the operator to answer, who can deal with you.

  • I contacted support and asked to remove all of the activations for my product. Software has been installed on a computer on which I can't use anymore. The computer is still in use, but I never have it disabled or uninstalled.

    Basically, how long this person will be able to use my software until updates of activation?

    This isn't how it works.  Even if the support reset your number of activations, products which have been activated previously will remain active.  (Unless it's a CC product, which requires regular reactivation.)

  • When I updated to Firefox 5 has been disabled my realplayer downloader and now I don't know how to download mp3 files.

    the downloader realplayer download mp3 and then diverted to copy on the ipod. When Firefox updated for Firefox 5, a pop up says that the module of realplayer was inconsistent... so now when my mp3 play I do not know how to get to itunes so I can get it to the ipod.

    Because of security vulnerabilities, roll back to Firefox 4.0.1 is discouraged.

    Here is the process to roll back to 3.6:

    First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

    Then, download and save Firefox 3.6 on your desktop for later installation. http://www.Mozilla.com/Firefox/all-older

    Firefox is closed 5.

    You could install Firefox 3.6 on it (many have reported success) or you can uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, the entire program.

    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left. If there are serious questions, please post back with details.

    Note: I have not actually tried myself!

  • How do I configure Openfiler for ESXi 5.0 (on which has been installed in the workstation).

    9.0 pre-installed VMware I installed in my laptop. I created a 5.0 as a VM ESXi in workstation. And I installed vSphere client 5.0 in my laptop. And I am able to access ESXi from my laptop through the vSphere client.

    Now, I created a VM with Windows 2008 R2 on top of ESXi. I installed vCenter 5.0 in Windows 2008 R2 Machine. I have just to connect to vCenter using vSphere client (which has been installed in my laptop) and added ESXi as host in the inventory.

    Now, I created a VM with Openfiler. Everything is fine. I want to use this Openfiler as a storage array, and I want the SAN with ESXi and Openfiler configuration.

    I think I need to create a VMkernel port group and attach that Openfiler VM who. And if I want to access the Openfiler web interface, do I need to have internet access? We can access the Openfiler Web interface without having access to the internet?

    Can someone let me know how to connect this Openfiler as a storage Bay for ESXi and configure a San.

    Openfiler does not need Internet access and you do not require an additional VMkernel port for access.  If it's production, you share the management and traffic on NIC iSCSI physical separate and thus vmkernel ports.  In this case, it is not necessary.  Did you do the initial installation of Openfiler to create a LUN for the ESXi host access?
