Hello Lashako,

Suggest you scan the system for the p�esence of
Vundo (aka Virtumonde).

It seems possible that your Windows installation has
been deliberately damaged by a trojan
(Vundo, along any uninvited guests.
(SDBot and ZLOB, all protected by a rootkit.)) so as
to prevent you updating your system or
removing the trojan.

If the Windows Malicious Software Tool is not installed
nor scanned the system recently,
then suggest you first utilize it and see if it detects and removes Vundo.

Tools that can fix the p�oblem would be:
-SUPERAntiSpyware (SAS)
-Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM)
-Windows Live OneCare (WLOC) online scan
-Windows Malicious Software Tool (WMRT)
-WindowsDefender (WD)

There is a very good chance are that you are seeing the affects of a
hijackware infection.

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/ma...e/default.mspx

2. Run the Windows Live Safety Center's 'Protection' scan (only!) in Safe
Mode with Networking, if need be:

3. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting the requested
logs in an appropriate forum, not here.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
