We were having a lot of pop ups and slowing. Our Dell computer is set up so that each member of the family has his/her own desktop and user settings. My husband's desktop has become corrupted and we cannot change the desktop settings. Though his is the only one.

We did notice the other day that two icons installed themselves on each user's desktop - Help & support and Windows Update. I looked at the properties of these two icons and found that they refer to a website - "http://www.storageprotector.com/clean" with some other text that I can neither copy nor edit.

I discovered this forum yesterday and got combofix.exe and hijackthis.exe based on other threads that I read.

I hope you can help us.

Thanks,
Eileen Riedel

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

My name is Simon V., and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

Step 1

Your Java software is out of date. Follow these instructions to update it:

  • Go to Start and click on Control Panel, then double-click on Add or Remove Programs.
  • Search for previously installed versions of Java (J2SE Runtime Environment), and remove it. It should have this icon next to it: Image
  • Then download and install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 4.

Step 2

Open Notepad (Go to Start > Run, type Notepad and hit Enter), and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Code: Select all
File::

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ciwjmbwf.tmp

When I did the Combofix on the new CFScript.txt file, a couple of program installations failed - including the Microsoft Office service pack. I have never been able to get this to install. Don't know why.


Here's the Combofix log:

Re: Desktop settings are frozen. Help.

Hi Simon,

My computer is running much faster and the desktop properties are changable again and I don't have anymore popups.

Windows Update, however, does not work. All custom and express installations fail. It seems I have to download and install each update individually. I installed Microsof Baseline Security Analyzer and installed most of the updates from that.

Unfortunately, there are two updates that start to install and fail. One is the Office2003 SP3 update. The other is the Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.0 Service Pack 3 (KB930494).

When I try to install Office 2003 SP3 I get the following errors:

Error 2908 - An internal error has occured ({A1FE0698-609D-400F-BF10-F52238DD675})
There are three options: Abort, Retry, Ignore. If I press ignore, I get another error 2908, but with different numbers/letters in the brackets. If I keep pressing "Ignore", it starts to install, but then puts up a final error:

Error 1935 and my only option is to back out of the installation.

With the Microsoft .NET Framework service pack, it gets halfway through the installation and says there was an error and reverses the installation.

Do you have any idea what would cause these problems?

Thanks,
Eileen

Hi :)

Windows Update, however, does not work.

I'm afraid that Windows Update problems aren't my cup of tea. There are forums that specialize in general computer problems that will probably be able to help you. You can ask help at the WhatTheTech forums: http://forums.whatthetech.com/Microsoft ... _f119.html

First register and post like you did here, explaining your problem (do not post a HijackThis log, as your malware issues should be resolved), add a link to this topic as well. There are some excellent people over there that will be able to help you better than I can.

I'm sorry that I could not be of more help to you, and I wish you the best of luck with solving your computer problems.
