    I am currently following the procedures for cleaning an XP.
    I installed SuperAntiSpyware, scanned my computer, checked everything
    detected, and quarantined those items; then, my internet wouldn't work.
    I tried rebooting my computer: still no internet.
    I know this is probably the worst thing to do, but I repair everything
    that was quarantined, and now my internet works.

    Also, for some reason, my computer will not let me install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. When I go to install it, I get some message saying:
    "Exception EInvalidOp in module mb.tmp at 778500D5.
    Invalid floating point operation."

    So what do you suggest I do?
    I am in desperate need of a computer cleaning, so someone help asap.
    Thanks in advance:)

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    First suggestion would be to open SAS and go to preferences / then to repairs and see if it will fix your internet issue.


    You should also follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

    • If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    Helpful Notes:


    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. To avoid addtional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advise that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!. Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
