mshack Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Every time I restart laptop "windows update" attempts to load new update. I allow it to update and it requires a restart. Each restart starts the same update. I checked "add remove programs" and this update appears in the existing list. I ran Dial-a-fix but problem keeps reoccurring. I am having a verity of problems but taking them one at a time. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted October 8, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 8, 2009 Try uninstalling the problematic update, rebooting and then installing it after rebooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshack Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thank You, I attempted to remove this file with the "add Remove Program" in control panel. When I clicked on remove it showed a large list of programs and security update that would be affected. Do you still recommend removing this way?

mshack Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Sorry, I didn't know how to screen capture a scrolling window so I did it in bits and pieces. If you can't read attachments please let me know and I'll try something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted October 8, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 8, 2009 Go ahead and uninstall it, reboot and reinstall it.

mshack Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Wow Things are getting worse! Removing the update and reinstalling helped for awhile but came back and things are getting worse. Here are some of the problems i'm expereincing: Attempt to start in safe mode results in blue screen of death. System won't go into stand-by After loading Adware/Spyware/regclearners. They run once and then I get error message attempting to run again. This includes Hijackthis. Recently Firefox is redirecting my web sites- Also lost all bookmarks. I ran most of the Malware tool kit plus some of my regular adware/spyware/regcleaners but still in trouble. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Administrator Tarun Posted October 10, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 10, 2009 Have you run everything in Dial-a-fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshack Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Have you run everything in Dial-a-fix? Yes previously. Additional Info I tried to follow PC Cleanup to the letter. Following problems occurred doing so: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware started to run then just disappeared. Clicking icon results in "Windows can not access specified device" Spybot Search and Destroy did the same with same error message. Hijackthis did the same with same error message. Would a copy of my registry help? Thanks, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshack Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have run Dial-A-Fix I have uninstalled all adware/spyware software and reinstall them. I still get the following error when I try to run the a second time. Note some of the programs will not completely uninstall. Any Idea what I can do next?

NerdFencer Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Try the Automatic System Cleaner. It has a "Fix Windows Update" function that does significantly more than the one in Dial-a-Fix*. After Opening the program, click the "Uncheck All" button, then re-select "create a restore point" Under the "Win Fixes" tab check "Fix Windows Update", then click "Execute" Hope this Helps, -Matt *For details on what it does to fix windows update, see the documentation for that function here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
