Your original post indicated an error that is *also* caused by malware, Error Code: 0x8024D007. You either need to contact Microsoft for NO CHARGE ( FREE ) assistance in cleaning up the system or, you can reformat and reinstall it. Start here: http://www.microsoft.com/protect/support/default.mspx Under " Scanning, detecting, and removing threats " click the ' I think my computer is infected ' link. If there was one that said " I know my computer is infected ", I'd tell you to click that one. The next page will provide a link to the OneCare Safety Scanner. Click it and see if it can detect and remove the malware on the system. If you have run the Safety Scanner, click the Continue button. Confirm Your Country, click Continue. Click the " type of support you want for Consumer Security " The Phone and all of the other options are *free*.
