Hello Broni,

my computer is a big pile of mess! Having given some vent to my anger, let's get down to business:

I downloaded Dial-a-fix, clicked GO, I had a pop-up window appear with some kind of error the program could not fix (I'll post the log below so you can take a look), I proceeded to the next page and tried to reinstall BITS but it asked for the XP CD which -unfortunatelly- I don't have!

Here's the log:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes about this log:
1) "->" denotes an external command being executed, and "-> (number)" indicates
the return code from the previous command
2) Not all external command return codes are accurate, or useful
3) Sometimes commands return 0 (no error) even when they fail or crash
4) If an error occurs while registering an object, please send an email to:
dial-a-fix@DjLizard.net and include a copy of this log

Thanks for your patience and all your good advice. That being said...

What now?
Ippolyti

I can see, all crucial files were re-registered, so if the updates still don't work, I can only say again:

This forum is designed for fixing infection issues only.
Since your computer was declared clean, I propose, you start new topic under regular Windows section about the above problem.

You'll get more attention.

Broni,

Thank you so much for all your time and help. I'll be sure to do what you advised.

Hope to see you around

Ippolyti
