@chaslang - R&R Beta Test - Win Vista Ultimate

Another smooth clean up procedure that was easy to follow.

Attached is the Combofix.log (log.txt) and the MGlogs.zip. I did not attached the AVG Antispyware log as it came up "No report available". I assume that was due to being clean? Can run it again if you want me to.

With combofix, a message popped up stating "Failed and needs to close", so I clicked OK, but it didn't close and ran normally. Again, if you don't feel satisfied with this I can run through again.

Loved the simplicity of disabling UAC and re-enabling.

 

Sure thing, when I get in to work tomorrow. I understand we had a server crash during last night and everyone's computers were being weird today, so it might be totally irrelevant to the R&R itself. Will keep you posted.

 

So rebooted and ran combofix again, nothing else open. This is where the C:\ screen stopped...



...and this is the error message pop up that appeared...



However, once again, when I clicked Close Program the C:\ continued all way through the combofix execution.

So I'm like a dog with a bone with this stuff, so I ran it again after another reboot, and this is what I got this time....




Let me know what else you want me to do here Chas - happy to test stuff

 

So I ran it with UAC disabled and Run As Administrator, with exactly the same results as the first scenario I gave you in post #5 for both methods.

 

So as I'm closing windows to combofix after running as below, the following window pops up, which is a first.



So I went with it and ran Reinstall using recommended settings, which went fine, and then I ran Combofix again, which came up with a new error as below.

 

Good call on updates possibility Halo, thanks - FWIW I did downloaded the essential security updates (only) prior to using combofix, so could be a factor in causing these errors.
