KB2833941 fails to install [Solved]

OK!!! The install finally worked. After executing the command it immediately asked if I wanted to install Net Framework. I responded, "yes". After it completed, it asked to reboot, which I did. I then clicked on the update and it installed.

should I remove the "NDP1.1sp1 kb2833941 -x86" from my desk top? How about "dotnetfx" application from C: ?

That's great news. We will remove the security update and the dotnetfx.exe file when we clean up.
Next we are gonna run an online scanner to look for any residual malware files and a scan to check for any programs that might need updating.

Please disable any screen saver you may have running before completing the following step.

Step-1.

Run ESET Online Scanner:

Note: Optimized for Internet Explorer but you can use Chrome or Mozilla FireFox for this scan.

Important! You will need to disable your currently installed Anti-Virus program, how to do so can be read here.

Please go here then click on:

Note: If using Mozilla Firefox a window will open telling you that you will need to download the ESET Smart Installer. Click on esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe to download the Smart Installer. Save it to the desktop.
When prompted double click on the icon on the desktop. After successful installation of ESET Smart Installer ESET Online Scanner is launched in a new window.
All of the below instructions are compatible with either Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox.
A new window will open:
Select the option YES, I accept the Terms of Use then click on:
When prompted allow the Add-On/Active X to install. The following window will open:
- Uncheck the box beside Remove Found Threats
- Check the box Scan archives.
Now click on Advanced Settings and select the following:
- Scan for potentially unwanted applications
- Scan for potentially unsafe applications
- Enable Anti-Stealth Technology
Now click on:
The virus signature database will begin to download. Be patient this make take some time depending on the speed of your Internet Connection.
When completed the Online Scan will begin automatically. The scan may take several hours.
Wait for the scan to finish. Do not touch either the Mouse or keyboard during the scan. Otherwise it may stall.

When The Scan is Complete:

A.
If No Threats Were Found:

Put a checkmark in Uninstall application on close
Close the program
Report to me that nothing was found

B.
If Threats Were Found:

Click on list of threats found
Click on export to text file and save it to the desktop as ESET SCAN.txt
Click on Back
Put a checkmark in Uninstall application on close Be sure you have saved the file first
Click on Finish
Close the program

Don't forget to enable your Antivirus program and screen saver.

Step-2.

Run Security Check

Download Security Check from here or here and save it to the Desktop.

Double click the SecurityCheck icon to run the application.
Follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

Step-3.

Things For Your Next Post:
Please post the logs in the order requested. Do Not attach the logs unless I request it.
1. The ESET scan log (IF it found anything). If it didn't just let me know.
2. The checkup.txt log

Hi Fred,

Most of the files that ESET found had already been quarantined by OTL. I will include the others in an OTL fix during the clean up process.

OK! Well done. :thumbsup:

Here is the best part of the process! The mullygrubs are gone! That's a technical term for your log(s) appear to be clean! If you have no further issues with your computer, please complete the housekeeping procedures outlined below.
The first thing we need to do is to remove all the tools that we have used. This is so that should you ever be re-infected, you will download updated versions.

If you didn't uninstall ESET after running the program we will do it now.

Step-1.

Uninstall ESET

1. Please click Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
2. In the list of programs installed, locate the following program(s):

Click on
You will be prompted to reboot your system. Please do so.

The above process will remove most/all of the tools used and logs created during the cleanup process. After it is finished, OTL will remove itself. This is so that if you are ever infected again you will download the most current copy of the tool.

Step-4.

Delete the following Files and Folders on the Desktop (If Present):

JRT.exe
JRT.txt
SecurityCheck.exe

Step-8.

After you have finished with these clean up steps and read the prevention suggestions below, you should defragment the hard disk. If you need directions for that please click here to go to the Microsoft support page.

Preventing Re-Infection

Below, I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against future malware infections.

:Keep Windows Updated:-Windows Updates are constantly being revised to combat the newest hacks and threats. Microsoft releases security updates that help your computer from becoming vulnerable.
Please either enable Automatic Updates or get into the habit of checking Windows Update regularly. They usually have security updates every month. You can set Windows to notify you of Updates so that you can choose, but only do this if you believe you are able to understand which ones are needed. This is a crucial security measure.

XP Users: You must use Internet Explorer to Update Windows.

1. Click Start> All Programs, in the programs window that comes up, look for Windows Update toward the top of the list and click it.

:Turn On Automatic Updates:

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article and this article.
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software or need it to play games on-line.
In that instance I would recommend that you only use Firefox or Chrome to visit those sites and do the following:

For Firefox, install the NoScript add-on.
For Chrome, install the Script-No add-on.
NOTE: After installing the add-ons you will need to tell them that the site you are visiting is allowed to run Java.
Disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to disable Java in your web browser or How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you still want to keep Java

Click the Start button
Click Control Panel
Double Click Java - Looks like a coffee cup. You may have to switch to Classical View on the upper left of the Control Panel to see it.
Click the Update tab
Click Update Now
Allow any updates to be downloaded and installed

: Keep Adobe Reader Updated :

Open Adobe Reader
Click Help on the menu at the top
Click Check for Updates
Allow any updates to be downloaded and installed

NOTE: Whether you use Adobe Reader, Acrobat or Foxit Reader to read pdf files you need to disable Javascript in the program. There is an exploit out there now that can use it to get on your PC. For Adobe Reader: Click Start, All Programs, Adobe Reader, Edit, Preferences, Click on Javascript in the left column and uncheck Enable Acrobat Javascript. Click OK Close program. It's the same for Foxit Reader except Preferences is under the Tools menu, and you uncheck Enable Javascript Actions.

NOTE: Many installers offer third-party downloads that are installed automatically when you do not uncheck certain checkboxes. While most of the time not being malicious you usually do not want these on your computer. Be careful during the installation process and you will avoid seeing tons of new unwanted toolbars in your favorite web browser.

:Web Browsers:

:Make your Internet Explorer more secure:
1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
2. Click once on the Security tab
3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
5. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to "Prompt"
6. Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to "Disable"
7. Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to "Disable"
8. Change the Installation of desktop items to "Prompt"
9. Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to "Prompt"
10. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
11. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, click the Yes button.
12. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

This webpage is worth bookmarking/reading for future reference:
Securing Your Web Browser

:Alternate Browsers:

If you use Firefox, I highly recommend these add-ons to keep your PC even more secure.

NoScript - for blocking ads and other potential website attacks
WebOfTrust - a safe surfing tool for your browser. Traffic-light rating symbols show which websites you can trust when you search, shop and surf on the Web.
McAfee SiteAdvisor - this tells you whether the sites you are about to visit are safe or not. A must if you do a lot of Googling

:Install the MVPs Hosts File:

MVPS Hosts file-replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

NOTE: You should read all of the information on this page before deciding to install the HOSTS file. Because this file contains a couple of thousand URL addresses you may find that some of the web pages you go to won't work like they used to, or not at all. So be sure before you install the HOSTS file.

Preventative programs that will help to keep the nasties away! We will start with Anti Spyware programs. I would advise getting a couple of them at least, and running a full scan at least once a month. Run Quick Scans at least once a week. Download the Free versions. And update the definitions before running scans.

========Anti Spyware========

Malwarebytes-Free Version- a powerful tool to search for and eliminate malware found on your computer.
SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition-another scanning tool to find and eliminate malware.
SpywareBlaster-to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place. A tutorial can be found here.
WinPatrol - will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. Help file and tutorial can be found here.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

“CryptoLocker” is the generic name for an increasingly prevalent and nasty strain of malicious software that encrypts the files on your computer until you pay a ransom. Some variants encrypt you personal files(MP3s, photos, doc files,ect;). But ither variants encrypy virtually every file, including system files. According to reports from security firms, CryptoLocker is most often spread through booby-trapped email attachments, but the malware also can be deployed by hacked and malicious Web sites by exploiting outdated browser plugins.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to recover the files short of paying the ransom because the encryption uses 2048-bit RSA keys that would take like a quadrillion years to decrypt.
We haven't seen a lot of the CryptoLocker ransomeware in the wild yet, but if enough people pay the ransom to get their files back it will become more prevelant. You can read more about the CryptoLocker ransomware here

Fortunately there is a program that will help prevent this type of ransomeware and other malware. You should download it and install it now.
Click here to go to the CryptoPrevent web page. You can read about the program. There are also a couple of videos toward the end of the page that show the program in action.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Download "CryptoPrevent Installer" button and download the file to the desktop. Close the browser and all open programs.
Double click the CryptoPreventSetup.exe file to install it.
Next, Double click the CryptoPrevent icon on the desktop to run the program.

Posted Image

When the program opens make sure all boxes are checked and then click the Block button to apply the protection.

NOTE: I don't think the free version has an update tab so you will need to check the web site from time to time to check for newer versions of the program. Or you can pay a one time fee of $15 and get the Premium Edition which includes an automatic updating function.

It's a good idea to clear out all your temp files every now and again. This will help your computer from bogging down and slowing. It also can assist in getting rid of files that may contain malicious code that could re-infect your computer.

========TEMP File Cleaners========

TFC by OldTimer-A very powerful cleaning program for 32 and 64 bit OS. Note: You may have this already as part of the fixes you have run.
CleanUP-Click the Download CleanUP! link. There is also a Learn how to use CleanUP! link on this page.

:BACKUPS:

Keep a backup of your important files.-Now, more than ever, it's especially important to protect your digital files and memories. This article is full of good information on alternatives for home backup solutions.
ERUNT-(Emergency Recovery Utility NT) allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed. The standard registry backup options that come with Windows back up most of the registry but not all of it. ERUNT however creates a complete backup set, including the Security hive and user related sections. ERUNT is easy to use and since it creates a full backup, there are no options or choices other than to select the location of the backup files. The backup set includes a small executable that will launch the registry restore if needed.

:Keep Installed Programs Up to Date:

It is also possible for other programs on your computer to have security vulnerability that can allow malware to infect you. Therefore, it is also a good idea to check for the latest versions of commonly installed applications that are regularly patched to fix vulnerabilities.
A program that will do this is listed below. Download and install the program and run it monthly:
Filehippo Update Checker

Finally, please read How did I get infected in the first place? by Mr. Tony Cline

I'd be grateful if you could reply to this post so that I know you have read it and, if you've no other questions, the thread can then be closed.

IF I have helped you and you want to say "thanks", you can do that by clicking the Rep+ button at the bottom right of this post.

I Will Keep This Open For 24 hours or so. If Anything Comes Up - Just Come Back And Let Me Know

Stay Safe :wave:
