    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):

    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:
    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.

    Hello!

    Help solve the problem,

    Computer laptop A665 - 12 k connected via bluetooth devices, bluetooth Manager finds the device, but do not connect it gives an error 'Cannot find the remote service' before you reinstall windiws solved similar problems 7. Did you reinstall driver broadcom, resettlement (ver.8, ver.9) bluetooth stack, clean the registry, windows 7 the relocation does not contribute to what either.. .Please help!

    Hello

    I recommend you to check the services that are running in the background.
    The point is that if BT service is not running or is not enabled, the BT connection cannot be established.

    To check the service appointment on: Control Panel-> administration-> computer management tools
    or you can directly open the Services' list by typing services.msc command in RUN or Start Menu search box.

    No, you will get a list of available services. Search for services called Bluetooth and activate this service by double-click a service and select the option you want.

    Then try to reactivate the BT using the FN + F8 key combination

  • Audio service does not not after download of Creative, restarts, error 0 x 80070002, the system cannot find the file specified

    Yesterday, I downloaded and installed updated Creative to my its Soundblaster card from Windows Update.  It lead me to a large download of Creative for its console related sound and SW, and things worked fine.  When I restarted this morning, there was a horrible loud hum while Windows was loading, and I made a hard stop.  When I rebooted, the buzz was gone, but the icon in the status bar indicates that the sound was off.  The sound message indicates that the audio service is not running.  I tried to restart the computer several times, but the results were the same.  I tried to restart the audio service of the Task Manager, but got an error message 0 x 80070002, the system cannot find the file specified.  Where should I go from here?

    Hi Jfklinger,

    This problem occurs because some legacy applications use files or components that were developed prior to Windows Vista. The names of these audio components may be different in Windows Vista. If the calling application uses the hard-coded file names, the new files and components could not be found.

    To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods to change the audio settings for a device.

    Method 1: use the order Volume of Windows

    To use the Volume of Windows command to change the audio settings for a device, follow these steps:

    1.right - click on the speaker icon in the notification area, and then click devices recording or reading.
    2. double-click - click the device for which you want to set the parameters. For example, double-click on Microphone.
    3. click on the levels tab.
    4. move the cursor upwards or downwards to set the desired volume level, and then click OK.

    Method 2: use Control Panel

    For control panel allows you to change the audio settings for a device, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start, click Control Panel, click hardware and soundand then click sound.
    2. click on the tab playback or recording .
    3. double click the device for which you want to set the parameters. For example, double-click on Microphone.
    4. click on the levels tab.
    5. move the cursor upwards or downwards to set the desired volume level, and then click OK.

    You may receive an error message when you run an application that uses the recording feature or audio playback in Windows Vista

  • Smartphone cannot find the 'BT ActiveSync' service

    I use the new BT stack v5.10.17 (F), my smartphone (HTC Diamond 2 with WM6.1) could not find service 'BT ActiveSync' on my laptop.
    It cannot find "Serial Port".

    Here is my equipment.
    Laptop: Fujitsu P8010
    OS: Windows Vista Home Basic
    Smartphone: HTC Diamond 2
    Bluetooth stack: v5.10.17 (F)
    ActiveSync: Windows Mobile Device Center 6.0

    I already try set the connection parameters in the center of the mobile device to COM7, but when you connect the phone to the PC it still shows only Serial Port.

  • Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file. Even after restarting the Printer Spooler service

    I tried all of the suggestions posted and have had no success in restarting my print spooler. Help, please.

    Original title: I tried to restart the print spooler as directed, and he returned the error 2: the system cannot find the specified file. He does that and is it fixable?

    @Winston Microsoft M committed Support Engineer 'expert '.

    I can see your response that you did take the time to reproduce the problem and then try your own ideas to check if the problem persists.

    Here is what I suggest to you, so you can learn how XP actually works:

    Start in the XP Recovery Console or Safe Mode, so Windows File Protection does not run.

    Rename your file c:\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe you can remember (such as spoolsv.bak).  Now, the file is "absent".

    Restart normally.

    Then try to start the Print Spooler Service and you will see the error.

    So why don't you follow your own advice and run SFC and troubleshooting automated (as you suggested) and check if the problem persists.

    Please report your results.

    When you see that it does help and that SFC does not replace the missing or damaged file (in the system32 folder) and that the automated troubleshooter does not help, will sing it a different song (we hope).

    Don't forget to rename your spoolsv.bak to spoolsv.exe when you're done messing around autour.
