  • Message update\update.exe is not a valid file because the computer has been infected from malware attacks

    Original title: update\update.exe message is not a valid file when tried to install IE8 KB2744842 patch

    I got this virus live Platinum security.  I think about Microsoft bulletin as CVE - 2012 - 4969 Backdoor: Win 32/Poison.BR supposedly he is gone now with PC Tools Spyware Doctor with antivirus.  I can no longer get critical updates to www.update.microsoft.com and cannot go there and get either them.  I have automatic updates turn on my computer, but when I go to the update site, it asks me to turn on the automatic updates, but doesn't change from red to green.  If I click on the express, it gives me a message there is a problem with the web page.  I have read some solutions and typed in will looking for three files like BIT and update, but the only one listed was the workstation.  I did some research and found the servers to Windows IE8 patch KB2744842 and downloaded and when I tried to install it, he unpacked himself and then ran, and then I got the message saying that update\update is not a valid Win 32 application.  I searched this file and found it was created on 20/09/2012, the same day I had the terrible malware and under properties, it is called configuration of Windows Service Pack, the version of the 6.3.0004.1 built by: dnsrv, internal name update.exe, English, original name: update.exe on my computer, it is C:\\bb5d6cfc84bf6a13dde9b006.update

    Try to solve this problem cost me $230 plus the cost of PCTools Spyware.  I called a number to the www.spywarehelpcenter.com to support when I was having trouble installing the PCTools in safemode and said Malwarebytes Pro was much better and used by companies and he said he gave me $150 off so it cost me one once charge $50 and there is no renewal and sold me a one year $ 180 contract to remove the virus and the development of my computer.  He had insisted on it going remotely and showed me all these errors.   I think that I made a mistake to trust him.  Two technicians have worked on my computer remotely on two different days without a firewall and installed Malwarebytes Pro three times because it kept to give a message of corruption, and it is that when I pointed out to them there is no firewall that was added by a sort of sharedaccess.reg problem is I can't get and install the critical updates.  I trust a third time to do things?  They have deleted quite a few programs.  I think that maybe the problem is that they were not aware of the fixit patch and the full patch to IE8.  I run Windows XP Professional and probably should upgrade to Windows 7 in the near future.

    I should add that a few days before that happened, I noticed that if I went in sysedit, the config.sys and autoexec.bat files windows were empty.   My computer has always competed, but it seemed very slowly.  I could not find a solution for this and read that you don't really need these files.  I have the original operating system disk and has been reading how to install it, but only for the repair by pressing 'r' and let it repair missing files.   So I don't know what to do.  Any advice?  I am so tired of this, but still have hope to operate correctly.

    Hi Catnip009,

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: I suggest you to download and make a bootable CD or USB to Windows Defender in offline mode, and then run the tool.

  • Computer has been infected by the worm 32 blaster... Now I have no sound, can't install/uninstall things, need help!

    My computer has been infected last night. I went into safe mode, ran malwarebytes and Microsoft security essentials and cleaned up my computer. But onceI restarted in normal mode, I noticed a ton of questions

    -Its completely gone. I cannot listen to music, can not test speakers, cant watch netflix streaming, etc.

    -Tried to run microsoft fixit, but I get an error message that the JIT debugger is not found.

    Ive been looking online and through forums for all help, but its looks like nothing works!

    Any help is appreciated!

    -Bouazza

    Ok. So, I did the clean boot with just the microsoft services to run. In doing so, I was finally able to run Microsoft FixIt. I ran some tests on this subject but it came up saying windows media player and my audio were very good. Yet, I still have no sound.

    From then on, I decided to uninstall and reinstall my audio drivers. After I did, I didn't restarted, still no sound.

    After having looked well and try a few troubleshooting steps more, it seems that most of he said it has something to do with windows media player. I followed these tips links on running a diagnostic tests (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3517/p/19351382/19768710.aspx#19768710), the only thing that didn't work was a 1 B 63:161 B microphone registration error. But the article said that if this disagnostic dell comes back fine then issues its is a pilot (that I reinstalled the and made sure they were up to date with windows update) or it's a matter of windows.

    I still can not play music, watch videos online, heard no sounds test to sounds, hear no sound when the computer starts first, my video/webcam doesn't work, etc..

    I could not go through the boot process to see what was causing Fixit to not work, but now Im processes more than audio. Do you think I did the clean boot with just the activate microsoft services, is one of those that is causing the problem?

    I am not computer stuff that well outside the bases... Im trying here but I can't find a solution! I couldn't do the diskcheck you suggested that bc it was a bit confusing to me.

    Suggestions more?

  • My computer has been doing the BlueScreen thing where it stops every 5 minutes when I go to normal mode

    Original title: Windows Update does not work on security with networking mode

    Hi, if my computer has been doing the BlueScreen thing where it stops every 5 minutes when I go to normal mode. So I go on security with networking mode and I went to problem and solutions and all this stuff, and the Web site that came to help me solve the blue screen was told to go to "All programs" and then go into "Windows Update". but the problem with that is does not work! My cursor will give me the circle of loading bit for a few seconds and that's it! And don't tell me to go to because every time startup repair I have try that he asks me "User" and I tried everything and nothing will work! :/ And apparently, it's a driver problem, not a hardware problem, because I already removed and put in the back of my equipment. Then Yes.

    Thanks for your help! :)

    Windows Update does not [Safe] mode with network

    Yes, that's correct. You can not run manually check updates in Mode safe mode with networking since the necessary Services are not running.

    my computer has been deleted and my photos from my photo file. so I wonder how I can get all my photos if I can at all... my computer was giving me problems and saying that the hard drive has been mess up so I went back and restored my programs and it restored everything but my photos and other files, that I would just get my photos.

    If you have used a disk recovery or a recovery Partition...

    There are programs of software designed to recover the
    deleted files. The following freeware is an example...
    a Google search will find more.

    If there is no file on your hard drive with
    not been crushed... There is a little chance that
    You may be able to recover some of them.

  • My computer has been stolen! Can I install my Win 7 Pro drive on my new computer and disable the operating system on the old computer?

    My computer has been stolen! It had Windows 7 Professional 64 bit for the new buildings of the computer. I still have the original disc and product key. Can I deactivate the license on the stolen computer and install my copy of the OS on my new computer? I'm having a hard time trying to find the funds to buy what I had once and I think it's not fair if I have to buy a new product key, when I still have the original disc and has been victim of theft.

    If its an OEM version of Windows, you are probably out of luck (can't hurt to try). For a version of "Retail"...

  • My computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants). How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

    As says the question: my computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants).  How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

    I'm running a full system scan in ESM right now, and it has detected multiple instances of sirefef.   I have remove as they pop up, but I'm afraid that when I run another scan they all will always be there.  Is there a way to know if MSE is actually remove them and he cleaning?  If not, should I do a back up and reinstall the OS?

    Thank you.  I can choose to try this, however, I would like an answer to my other questions first.

    Sirefef is a rootkit and yes he can hide in your system.  This is why it has been suggested that you may need to reformat/reinstall.  In fact, it's the only way to eliminate malware.  Multiple scans with several scanners and no conclusion malware probably indicate he disappeared, but the key word is "probably".  Malwarebytes is good and what he finds now may be traces of the infection, but what he finds perhaps not active more - it is always good to run the scans so.

    What spare drive did you run?  What scanners did you use?  See again you and follow the guide "Malwaretips"?

    For the firewall problem, you can try the following Microsoft Fixit.

    Diagnose and automatically fix problems of Windows Firewall service

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_firewall_diagnostic/en-us

    One of the users of the Forum answers maintains that a great guide on information security is important for understanding the removal of malicious software.  See the following compliments of Brian M - for suggestions on how to solve your problem: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide/#after see: after the removal process and solve the problems of Post disinfection

    Uninstall/reinstall of MSE is how?  All the problems?  Have you tested MSE with eicar to be sure it's working?

    Assume that you have not had an opportunity to review the MSE Installation Checklist or you would have noted that MSE and Windows Defender cannot be used on the same computer.  So if WD works in fact it means MSE has been disabled/not not work correctly or not installed.

    See the next WD re: Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials

    Good luck...

    I received a call Thursday last of someone who said they were by the Windows team and that my computer has been altered.   The call was clearly from abroad and had a bad connection.  Basically, they wanted to sell me something for $99.  Is it a scam?  Called again today and they make me nervous because I don't know that much about computers.

    Fake phone calls to technical support

    Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

    Please see:

    These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.
