Hello Tim,

Outside my expertise I am afraid.

It seems to be an update problem. I am wondering if it is trying to upgrade your machine to a later version of Windows but I am not sure. You really need technical help as apposed to the malware forum.

Let's remove the tools that we have been using. After that please go to the Windows 7 forum here and open a new topic.

Tell them the problem and someone there should be able to help you.

To clear away the tools we have been using download Delfix from here. You will be taken to the download page. Just wait and shortly the download will appear.

Put a check (tick) in the following boxes:
 

  • Remove disinfection tools
  • Reset System Settings

    Then click Run

The tool will run for a short time. When completed a notepad window will open with a log. Please copy and paste the log back here.

Any remaining tools may be deleted.

No I will keep this topic open for the time being. See how you go in the Windows 7 forum and if need be you can come back here. :)

 

For now though here are some of safety tips:

 

Here are some things that I think are worth keeping in mind if you don't already know about them:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is good security practice to change your passwords to all your online accounts on a fairly regular basis, this is especially true after an infection. Refer to this Microsoft article Strong passwords: How to create and use them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So many of us use Facebook nowadays. Go here for a guide to Facebook security.
 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Be aware of what emails you open and websites you visit.

Go here for some good advice about how to prevent infection.

For some common sense advice about protecting your computer read How to boost your malware defense and protect your PC

A fun way to check your online safety literacy.

Have a safe and happy computing day!
