i need help with my log!

[PhilliePhan]

PP, i downloaded the file to my desktop, but when i doubleclick it, an error pops up " fitit.reg is not a valid win32 application "
how can i fix that??

People seem to be getting a lot of those errors when I try these registry merges lately.
Are you able to click Start > Run > type regedit and click OK. Are you able access the registry?
* If you ARE able to access the registry, don't do anything yet!
-- Have you navigated the registry before?

it wasnt able to find that file, i checked in the system32 manually, is it supose to be missing or is that a bad thing?

Probably not a bad thing unless that it is gone - if indeed it is gone and not stealthed in some way. . . I may well have been removed at an earlier time.

-- Your Uninstall list is awfully abbreviated - I expect to see a whole lot more there. Does it match when you open Administrator account and look in Add/Remove Programs?

Hi Louie,
Been really tied up with work - sorry I couldn't post back sooner.

what do you mean a whole lot more? like what? am i missing anything important?? well i think my dad has a few more stuff on his account, why tho?

I thought that was from Dad/Main account. There ought to be more there (windows patches, etc...)

by the way, do you have any good anti virus programs?? or should i stick with avast?

AVAST! is solid. Some people prefer AVG.
If you are willing to spend the money, I like Kaspersky Internet Security Suite.

thank you for your time

Happy to try to help!

Let's try this for the autoupdate problem:

-- Download the attached Fixit.zip to the Desktop and Extract the Fixit Folder to the Desktop.
-- Open the Fixit Folder and DoubleClick on RunThis.bat to run it.
Reboot and see if that helped. Let me know if there were any error messages.

Will check back as soon as I can, but that will likely be tomorrow....

those links show all the programs on my account and my dad's account, it would of taken to long if i wrote them all down ahah.

I geuss ill stick with avast since i already have it, is AVG free tho?

so i just double click runthis.bat, is it normal that nothing pops up?? im going to reboot my computer right now and see if my updates work =]

thanks again PP!

A DOS window should flash, but it's really quick.

-- AVG is Free - see my linky below. AVAST! should be comparable.

Regardless of whether the AutoUpdate fix works or not, you should use IE and visit http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/ and Install any Critical Updates that you may be missing.

Gotta run, but will be back tomorrow!

EDIT: I just looked at the picture again - You need to make sure the box to "Show Updates" is checked at the top of Add/Remove Programs . . . Though, I was not aware that had any bearing on HJT Uninstall List...
