My approach to that symptom is to run ProcMon to supplement whatever other diagnostics you are getting. Typically it can uncover a permissions problem.

This is not a trivial matter, Bruce and would explain why the system can no longer update. The Kernel update may have exposed hidden malware. May have, not definitively did expose. Strongly suggest that you download a copy of Malwarebytes anti-malware (MBAM), install and update it, and then run a Quick scan (it's Default scan option)- http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Click the Download free version button. Please post the names of the 3 detected viruses and if anything was detected by MBAM scan. Since you state Trend was never present in the clean install of Vista then there's no sense in running AppRemover. > I have only one userid: bapa... which is administrator (unless vista gets its > own ideas) the os is vista home premium so ms fixit to reset security > settings has some risks.

Using Internet Explore, suggest you have the system scanned by the OneCare Online Safety scanner as it sometimes resolves updating Permissions issues: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm > I see file export messages - thanks YW. > I will not run system without windows update > I built servers installings windows os's > I consider my system a "data server" > I don't like restrictions of windows HOME premium Have you disabled User Account Control (UAC) ? BTW, you *can* enable the built in Admin account and use that account to configure the system as *you* see fit. However, using it for day to day use is *not* recommended as it drastically lowers the native Security of Vista. Suggest you create a Standard User account and, if you so desire, I'll give you instructions on how to enable the hidden, built in Admin account so that you can configure the system as you see fit, not MS. The steps for creating a a Standard User account in Vista are essentially the same as for Windows 7- http://unixwiz.net/techtips/win7-limited-user.html > I am willing to upgrade to windows 7 something (which?? cost is issue) > upgrade issues through dec 09 I am used to 2 - 4 reboots during build > I want 3+ logical drives on 1 physical drive os - data - linux? - ?? > I back up data drive - lax on backups of C drive > would I have to upgrade to vista sp 2 (I have early vista disk) > could I just build windows 7 directly from upgrade package > > i have good speed and memory duo t7500 2.2 ghz 4gb mem 32bit os > -- Bruce Parent Let's hold off on any Win 7 discussion until we can determine, as best as possible, that the system is free of malware.

1. I found upgrade to avast 5.0 occured just after 3/15 mar windows updates. So I agree that this points to avast as the culprit. I opened ticket: avast causes error 80070005 in windows update (cmt-252920) if you wish to view it. I see you have found other avast 80070005 errors in the past. 2. I am impressed with the tools you have had me use (I hope these pages stay available after I am fixed so I can make them available to me) are there other tools available that unknowledgable users such as me can safely use to protect their systems? 3. I reran malwarebytes and only found the 2 avast (?) entries. I ran onecare but still cannot search windows updates (I did have to convince email I knew my password) 4. I may still wish to be windows 7 something if no problems since december. Especially if I have to rebuild. I had 3 userids on original vista. non admin pain if I wish to install software like readerworks. I have many clever passord schemes. rembering which clever password after 6 months of non-use became an issue. I went back to one id before I had to rebuild last time. UAC is on. I will be unavailable on Tuesday. I will be waiting awhile for possible avast solution. -- Bruce Parent "MowGreen" wrote: > Comments inline: > > Bruce Parent wrote: > > I attempted windows update from brueggers bagels with no success. > > I ran malwarebytes 3 registry > > rogue antivirus suite registry key hkey current user software avsuite > > rogue antivirus suite.gen registry value hkey current user software > > microsoft current version run jxfuvxik value jxfuvxik > > trojan fraudpak registry key hkey current user software avsoft > > all of these may have occured last night.
