Re: Windows NT Missing?

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

The only thing that was running on my computer was Internet explore
Using windows firewall which was turned on.
There is a security suite from my isp called clear wire suite
and also AVG 7.5 was on.
I have never had any problems with the windows updates and my anti-virus
being on at the same time. The Web-site was Ebay.com. I have never had any
problems being on that site before. When the dialog box advising an update is
installing came up again I had no time to read it, to my knowledge I can not
tell you what the Title was. When I ran the AVG virus scan and spyware scan
it reported back
Found :Zebot and Im not sure of the name but it was a Rat (I believe it
started with a B)
The exact problem that I am having is that:
I cannot connect to the internet : unable to display site then a network
connection lost (reconnect or work offline) box comes up which never did this
before
Windows Firewall will not turn on
I get the security balloon advising No firewall detected so I got to control
panel click Windows firewall then I recieve an error msg: (Unable to start
windows firewall/ internet connection service/ windows firewall services is
not running. Do you want to turn on internet connection service / windows
services?) when i click yes the next dialog box reads (Initializing
ICS/windows firewall service).The next dialog is an error msg ( Unable to
start ICS/Windows firewall services )
When i go to services I see the service and try to start it manually there
again i recieve th unable to start msg
I also see the TCP/IP services and that says it is stopped
The IPSEC service says that it is Stopped
If Im not mistaken I Think These should be on. Is that correct?
When I try to start them
I recieve Unable to start service Error 2001 Specified driver is invalid

then the msg box cleared and a download window appeared showing the process
status but there was no option to cancel. it only took a min to complete
then the screen blinked a msg box popped up windows restarting, then it shut
down and rebooted


What web site were you visiting or what speciufic application were you
running when this occurred? Did the various dialog boxes not include
any information in their respective title bars?

What anti-virus application and firewall do you have running that let
this happen without any input from you?

I'm sorry, but without specific information about the nature and source
of the "update," or a clearer description of the precise problems now
being experienced, there's very little we can offer in the way of
specific advice. In this circumstance, a clean re-installation of your
OS and applications (after backing up any data you wish to preserve, of
course) may well be the safest course, as much as I dislike recommending
such a drastic course of action.
