Back to seeking malware as a cause.


Be sure to continue to temporarily disable any protective software when running the scan tools we use here.


Download ComboFix.exe from here to your desktop, then click that to run that scan. Agree to any warnings you might receive.

A caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop.

Allow the scan to run. When completed a text window will appear - please copy/paste the contents back here. This log can also be found at C:\ComboFix.txt.

I located a thread with a fix that worked for this particular problem here. Follow the steps here for a corrupt user profile, being sure to reboot where suggested. You'll be basically creating a new user account, transferring the current user account's files to it, then deleting the current user account. Post back after how that turned out please.

Forgot to mention - ComboFix really didn't pick up anything of importance.

I get a similar message when I try to add an user. I'm unable to get to any of the Administrative features in windows.

Go to Start Search, type cmd.exe in the Start Search box. Cmd.exe will appear at the top of the Menu. Rightclick on it and choose "Run as administrator" (assuming you do do this). At the prompt copy/paste the following, pressing Enter after each:

net user administrator /active:yes

Then type exit and press Enter to close the command prompt.

Reboot to Safe Mode. At startup tap the F8 key about once per half-second, then select Safe Mode from the menu that will appear.

Log in as the Administrator. See if you can create the new user account then.

After i rebooted, I pressed F8 and the Windows froze, I did a hard reboot and Window repair came up. I ran the repair and it seems to have worked. I'm able to add users and run windows updates. Thanks for your help. If anything else comes up I'll post back. Thanks again.

Good you got that resolved. Not sure what Windows Repair you got, but it fixed things anyway. If that Windows Repair didn't step on everything, I will provide a standard end of thread steps, so whatever our work added to the system can be removed (plus some).

You may have slightly outdated versions of vulnerable programs, so Go to each of these sites and update to the latest version (keep your eyes open - they often slide in "opportunities" for things like Google, or McAfee's scanner):

http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
(For Adobe Reader and Flash Player - uncheck the useless McAfee scan, if offered)

http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
(For Java 7 Update 21 - trying to slip Ask adware/spyware to systems lately, so watch and uncheck it)


Once you have done that, be sure to go to Control Panel, Uninstall/Programs and Features and uninstall any older, more vulnerable Java versions.

-----------

Eset, if you don't plan to use it again, uninstalls through the Control Panel - Uninstall/Programs and Features.


Go to Start Search, type cmd.exe in the Start Search box. Cmd.exe will appear at the top of the Menu. Rightclick on it and choose "Run as administrator". At the prompt copy/paste the following, pressing Enter after each:

cd "%userprofile%\desktop"

combofix /uninstall


ComboFix should uninstall itself at this time.

--------

You can also at this time delete the files/folders of the tools we used. To assist with some of that, run OTL again. This will help by automatically removing some of the tools we used.

Just click CleanUp, and select Yes. When it finishes removing some of the tools and files we used there just agree to the reboot.

-------

In addition, I like to recommend reviewing the information here to make sure you stay malware free.
