Re: [In Progress] Multi threat adware: search redirected
« Reply #15 on: December 03, 2008, 04:02:08 PM »
So far so good!  Every disabled function, except one, is restored, which is saying alot (thanks): searches are no longer redirected, Malwarebytes installs and runs fine, I can access all websites.

As far as I can tell only one issue remains. windows updates. I can now addess the website which checks for and downloads the updates.  [The latest is Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (KB110806) (x86)]

Unfortunately, when I try to install the latest update.  I get the message:

Installation Failure

"Error Code: 0x80246008 
Try to install the update again, or request help from one of the following resources. . . ."

I have tried to install sever times no luck.

Almost all issues resolved!  This is saying alot.  Searches are no longer redirected, I can run Malwarebytes, I can access any web site again.  But I still cannot install Microsoft updates.  I can check for the latest updates I need [which is Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (KB110806) (x86)] but it will not install. I get the error message:

____________________________________________________________________

Installation Failure

Try to install the update again, or request help from one of the following resources.

Hey I found the final fix my self.  Using the same database you accessed for your last post, I found another article, followed the steps and resolved the problem.

The malware must have either corrupted the BITS registration or some of the files in the Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader folder. 

In any case, the protocol in this article, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916251, resolved my windows update problem.

Thanks again for you help!

Scott

Glad to hear it.

You may now remove/delete/uninstall the tools we used to clean your PC

Now that your log is clean

There are some final notes:

Lets create a clean System Restore point
the instructions are here

Update your Anti Virus Software

Use and maintain a Firewall There is a list HERE
    All of which are free
Download and install SiteHound by Firetrust for protection against malicious websites.

Pick the version that matches your browser

Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently for critical updates

Backup your Important Documents and Files on a regular basis

To a disc or a USB key, not your Hardrive
