0x80070424 ERROR_SERVICE_DOES_NOT_EXIST

From similar posts in this newsgroup it appears *likely* that the
system is infected with a malware known as Vundo/Virtumonde.
Using Internet Explorer, go here for a scan:

The March release of the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool was
also targeted to a variant of the malware. Was it ran in March or
afterwards ?
