F-Prot looks like it found a few in the temp files for Java which if they aren't already, I'm clearing that stuff out ASAP. One of the others seems to have found a couple as well, but didn't give me any specifics. I'm STILL waiting on the Avast license to run that one.

Haven't done a check for any missing files yet, I'm still working on the A/V scans.

hate to say it but Penguin might be right, sometimes a Format and fresh install is what's needed

i've been having a problem lately where some websites seem to be infected with some malware that kicks off a phony 'security alert' program that offers to scan my computer for viruses. It looks a lot like the windows defender, so once i accidentally clicked yes, not thinking. Ooops.

OK, some things that stand out:
O2 - BHO: scriptproxy - {7DB2D5A0-7241-4E79-B68D-6309F01C5231} - (no file)
Many malicious tools use a proxy to bypass network security, any IT geek worth his salt can set up firefox to use a proxy and get past most corporate firewalls. Many of the more illicit spam-bots will set up a proxy and use your machine as a slave, or even worse use your machine as a host for a myriad of bad things. (see here http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/09/internet-virus-frames-use_n_350426.html )

Though I may be way off, I suspect anything similar to that. Along with the other comment of the many missing files that PC is hosed IMHO, and worth a full re-format.

If there's any way possible to fix this without resorting to a reinstall I'm damn well going to try it. It's not just the hassle of installing apps. Windows and Office were both installed with licenses provided by the company for which I no longer work. I MAY have them saved to the drive, but that's going to be a huge issue if they're not.

Now that I've finished the virus scans and got that cleaned up, what I need is a way to replace the missing/corrupted files from the Windows disk. Ordinarily at this point I'd pull the drive, put it in an enclosure and use another computer to break open the install.wim to get to the system files and do the copy. Unfortunately I don't have the hardware to do it.

gpwurzel,

Can TRK be used to access shared files on another computer? I've got the Shared Docs on my laptop turned on and could PROBABLY extract the files I need to the laptop and do it manually that way. PITA, but doable.

Push comes to shove, I'll do it a chunk at a time through my flash drive if I have to....

Hiya Sax, on the main interaction page, there is a prog called MC - which appears to do what you want (nothing here to confirm that or test with as I'm on a single machine).

Ok. What I'm going to do is match up the files in the TRK-Infected log, pull them from the CD to my flash drive, and then use MC to copy them over.

Ok, current status:

Windows is now booting up to the desktop (woo hoo!)
I DO have my Windows license key saved. Office remains a problem, however....
Computer Management still isn't working
Windows is still not recognizing the Windows Activation status
McAfee is still screwy
The .Net 4.0 repair came up again

However now that I was able to get to the Windows Desktop and locate the license key, I have a new option: I can now do a Repair Install, which should preserve the other apps.
