Critical System Error

[jacol]

Have spent the last few days removing nasty viruses and malware from my partners computer. Have removed most of them, but am struggling to get rid of a grey messenger service box that keeps poping up telling me that "Windows has found 55 Critical Systems Errors". The message then tells me to follow some instructions to download "Registry Update from www.regproscan.com". Have run tests in safe mode using adaware, Norton and Spybot, but still no success in fixing this very frustrating problem.

Your help would be appreciated.

HJT Scan is below.

Further to my initial post. There are two different messeges that keep popping up. The first one I mentioned in the initial post. The second is similar and asks me to:-

1. Click Start button
2. Click run
3. Type in http://fixregistry.com
4. Install Registry Cleaner
5. Run Registry Cleaner
6. Reboot computer.

Hi jacol

Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.
http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.exe

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press Enter
This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works. When it is done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other options until you are asked to do so!

**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.

And use this -> http://forums.spybot.info/images/buttons/reply.gif and don't start new topic every time :)

Hi

AVG report is incorrect. Did you install AVG anti-spyware? I see no AVG anti-spyware on your log, but I see AVG antivirus. Those are two very different programs. AVG anti-spyware is former ewido.

Also do this:

We can definitely help you, but first you need to help us. You are quite behind on your Windows Updates and Patches!!

The first step in this process is to apply Service Pack 1a for Windows XP. Without this update, you're wide open to re-infection, and we're both just wasting our time.
Click here to get WinXP SP1a: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0136e5f8-1684-4202-b2d0-c6a43430f12a&DisplayLang=en)

Apply the update, reboot, then go to Windows Update and install all the Critical Updates (Note: Except for WinXP SP2)
Click here for Windows Update: http://www.windowsupdate.com/ (http://www.windowsupdate.com/)

After installing all the Patches and updates, reboot, then post a fresh Hijack This log.

Hi Shaba

Downloaded windows SP1, but having trouble installing. Getting error message that Key is not valid. There seems to be a problem with the authenticity of the version of windows on my partners computer. I have experinced this problem before when trying to get some of the other windows updates.

Will install anti-spyware and run tests and post results shortly.

Malware pop ups seemed to have stopped since running smithfraud clean.

Thanks for your help thus far.

Hi

I'm sorry, if your windows isn't valid, I can't help any more. That might not be your fault but my (and forum) policy is that we won't help victim with illegal copy of windows.
