[SOLVED] Windows Update Problem

I must admit I'm not at all surprised by those results - MGADiag tests all those files against the built-in database, for compliance, so I'd have been amazed if it hadn't reported any problems.
 
Unless Richard comes back with a better idea, I suggest resetting the CATROOT2 folder.


Please run the following commands in an Elevated Command Prompt

NET STOP CRYPTSVC
REN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CATROOT2 CATROOT2OLD
NET START CRYPTSVC


once complete, leave the system alone for at least an hour to rebuild the database, then reboot, and run another MGADiag report.
Note that this may delete your Update History - but all updates will remain installed, and can be viewed in the Installed Updates listing.

Please zip and upload the CATROOT2OLD folder so we can take a look at it for forensics.
 
Many thanks for the data - now all I have to do is work out what it means! :r1:


Has it made any difference to the behaviour?
 
Hmmm- that's interesting - both subfolders of the renamed folder are empty, which means that something prevented the original build.

Can you confirm that the current Catroot2 subfolders have content?
 
Sorry about the delay, I haven't gotten a chance to run the scan or look at the catroot yet, but my son says that his microphone is working now. His internal mic didnt work so we got him a new headset. The mic didn't work, I think because our windows update wasn't working and the drivers didnt install. After resseting the catroot folder, the mic works, meaning that our windows update works. Ill check tomorrow, but pretty exciting news.
 
Hello. Looks like I spoke too soon, Windows update still doesnt work. Strangely enough the catroot2 folder is empty, but i saw a catroot2.old folder that had bunches of files in it. I did do the MGA though, so here it is:

I am sorry to say that that update didn't install properly. It says: "Installer encountered an error: 0x80080005 Server Execution failed". Can this problem have been a result of a malware attack, or a rogue software? Can it be that I installed a x86 piece of software when I was supposed to do x64? Also should I do a reset of the update components from here: How do I reset Windows Update components? ?
 
I have a windows 7 64 bit installation disk from another computer as well. If I run it on my laptop but then input my own key, will it work. Something is telling me it won't but it never hurts to ask.
 
I have aboslutely no files in my SoftwareDistribution/Datastore or Download or PostRebootEventCache or ScanFile folder. The only folders with files in them are AuthCabs, SelfUpdate,and WuRedir. It may be the cause of some of the errors.
 
The Server error would tend to indicate that BITS is disabled.

Please download the Farbar Service Scanner from

Run it, and tick all the options, then click on the Scan button - copy and paste the report to your response.

Lol doesn't seem like too much.
 
Chuckle - it's not as bad as it might be - but worse than I was hoping.

I think the best way to attack this is probably the ESET service repair tool

Please download http://kb.eset-la.com/library/ESET/KB%20Team%20Only/Malware/ServicesRepair.exe and save it to your desktop.

Double-click ServicesRepair.exe
If security notifications appear, click Continue or Run and then click Yes when asked if you want to proceed.
Once the tool has finished, you will be prompted to restart your computer.
Click Yes to restart.

Then run the FarBar scanner again and post the new results.
Post the results.

Quite the problem this is turning into. Can i just use an installation disk from a different pc and input my own windows key into it?
 
Had a hunch. Thank you for your help. l have to do a post as I misplaced my repair disk :-( . once I remove the malware from my computer I will come back to you correct? if so see you then :-) .
 
Fine - if you post a link to your thread, I'll follow it and jump in if I see anything relevant.
