Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,
I Had exactly the same problem,
Tried everything and in the end reformatted my hard disk and guess what....
it came back again.
I had CA Etrust security suit, I booted up in safe maode and uninstalled
this program and everything is fine now and i have a perfectly good Norton
antivirus now.
Disabeling this program will not help you must uninstall.
Out of interest, do you run this program??

Regards, Paul

Malware:I run software. How would I resolve faulty update other than a
new
restoration point

Let's take this in nice and easy steps. In cases like yours the question
is often: Is the registry damaged or are some of the system or driver
files damaged? Temporarily restoring your machine to its "factory
condition" should help you resolve this question. Follow the steps below.
If you perform them carefully, one after the other, then they are fully
reversible.
1. Boot into the Recovery Console. Use "Windows Help" if unsure how to do
this.
2. Type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each of them:
md \Windows\Regback
cd \windows\system32\config
copy sam \windows\regback
copy security \windows\regback
copy system \windows\regback
copy software \windows\regback
dir \windows\regback
3. Convince yourself that you see the following four files:
sam, security, system, software
Do not proceed unless you see them.
4. Type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each of them:
copy \windows\repair\sam
copy \windows\repair\security
copy \windows\repair\system
copy \windows\repair\software
You will be prompted each time to allow the file to be overwritten.
Press Y in each case, then Enter.
5. Boot normally into Windows.

If this still fails then you probably have a bad driver or some corrupted
files. A "Repair Installation" may fix the problem.

If it works then it may be possible to perform a manual System Restore.
The process is similar as the process above. Post again with your results.
