    Every time Microsoft security essentials runs a scan it comes up with this:

    "Microsoft Security Essentials encountered the following error: Error code 0x800704ec. Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more information, open Event Viewer or contact your system administrator.

    Category: Virus

    Description: This program is dangerous and replicates by infecting other files.

    Recommendation: Remove this software immediately.

    Microsoft Security Essentials detected programs that may compromise your privacy or damage your computer. You can still access the files that these programs use without removing them (not recommended). To access these files, select the 'Allow' action and click 'Apply actions'. If this option is not available, log on as administrator or ask the local administrator for help.

    My laptop has been acting odd, redirects to all kinds of sites, freezing at reboot. After running my antivirus upon reboot I often have to restart 7-10 times before I can get to the log in screen without my computer freezing on a blank black screen. Started running through the pre-post conditions. I already had most of the software, Ccleaner runs at every start up. Unistalled and updated Java. Superanti-spyware comes up clean. Malwarebytes came up clean. Combofix says it was downloaded incorrectly, re-downloaded several times to no avail. And RootRepeal freezes up when I tried to run it. Where do I go from here? As always any help is greatly appreciated.

    If one step fails then do not stop, please continue with the malware removal procedures and once you have done as much as you can, you must attach the requested logs.

    I shall link to our Read and Run Me First for reference.

    thanks, ill run over them again and attach the logs even if they show no malware. You helped me a year ago on my work computer, and were a god. Im in good hands. I'll run all diagnostics tomorrow and attach all logs. What should I do about programs(combofix, rootrepeal, that wont work) and everytime I run my security essentials antivirus software and I find the same win32 infection, the reboot process to delete that infection always freezes during reboot. By no means am i computer stupid, but am far from computer smart: i will run all processes again with updated virus def. and attach logs just to make sure you have all the info you need. Point to note: I ran combofix via instructions from another malware forum about 6 months ago issued advice from a senior user(geeks to go), and my computer has never been quite the same. There are lines that rund down the screen of empty pixels, but all in all It runs very well, quick, except during startup and anytime any malware program runs and reboots, the computer always freezes before I even get to the windows screen. Also the redirects online constantly. I have to remove the battery, and try several times to get a start up. Not blaming the experts from the other site, I know combofix can cause issues. Once again, i dont think you guys know how much you help people. Until next time.

    Yes, but I do not see where we finished the thread.
    If one step does not work then skip it and move onto the next.
    Then you must let me know the exact file and file path of the threat! :)
    You should never follow instructions or use a combofix script tailored for someone else! :(
    Don't know if I can do anything to fix that sadly.
    Then ensure you follow through with this too Fixing Google Redirection/Hijacking Problems
