many, many, MANY corrupt installs

Hi everyone--

I have been having this problem for several months, and can't find an explanation anywhere. Many times, after downloading an installation program (most recently AVG free, but this is just an example), when I go to install, I get the msg "File is corrupt" and installation halts. It seems to happen a LOT with AV software (but does happen with other types of software, as well)...I have vainly attempted to install KIS and KAV, NOD32, Panda, and others, but every single one of them fails to install. When attempting the install for AVG, for example, I tried to install a half-dozen times...but the installer stopped at a different unpacking percentage each time, ranging from 18 to 97%. This makes NO sense to me, because it seems as though if a particular part of the file was corrupt, it would stop at the same point each time. What could be causing this? Befuddled and confused

Re: many, many, MANY corrupt installs

Hello, and Welcome to TSF.

Please subscribe to this thread to get immediate notification of replies as soon as they are posted. To do this click Thread Tools, then click Subscribe to this Thread. Make sure it is set to Instant Notification, then click Subscribe.

Before beginning the fix, read this post completely. If there's anything that you do not understand, kindly ask your questions before proceeding. Ensure that there aren't any opened browsers when you are carrying out the procedures below. Save the following instructions in Notepad as this webpage would not be available when you're carrying out the fix.

It is IMPORTANT that you don't miss a step & perform everything in the correct order/sequence.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note that these fixes are not instantaneous. Most infections require more than one round to properly eradicate.

Stay with me until given the 'all clear' even if symptoms diminish. Lack of symptoms does not always mean the job is complete.

Kindly follow my instructions and please do no fixing on your own or running of scanners unless requested by me or another helper at this forum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan.

This type of infection allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and download and execute files without your knowledge.

If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

You can read this: How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1. Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

    Link 1
    Link 2
    Link 3

    * IMPORTANT !!! Place combofix.exe on your Desktop
  2. Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with ComboFix.


    You can get help on disabling your protection programs here
  3. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  4. As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed.

    Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.





    The Windows recovery console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery mode that allows us to help you in the case that your computer has a problem after an attempted removal of malware.

    With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal.

    Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement.

    ComboFix will now automatically install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console onto your computer, which will show up as a new option when booting up your computer. Do not select the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console option when you start your computer unless requested to by a helper.

    Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see a message that says:

    The Recovery Console was successfully installed.



    Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.
  5. Your desktop may go blank. This is normal. It will return when ComboFix is done. ComboFix may reboot your machine. This is normal.
  6. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply

    Note:
    Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  7. Ensure your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications are re-enabled.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Re: many, many, MANY corrupt installs

Can you install an AntiVirus now? If so, please do so, but ensure there's only one installed. Post a new DDS log once you have, or let me know if there are problems with that.

Re: many, many, MANY corrupt installs

Rather than use a succession of trial software, which invariably becomes outdated and leaves the machine unprotected, why not use a free AntiVirus, whose subscription will not expire, or can be freely renewed in a year or so?

Avira, Avast and AVG all have free offerings. I generally suggest Avira.

What happens when you try to update the Panda trial you've installed?


There are many errors in the Event Viewer log. Here's but one

7/4/2009 10:18:18 PM, error: Ntfs [55] - The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:.

Did you perform a chkdsk when you received this message? Were any issues found/resolved?

This system may be a candidate for a reinstall, based on all the issues you've reported, and the fact that it had a rootkit onboard.


Quote:
C: is FIXED (NTFS) - 19 GiB total, 1.488 GiB free.
Not near enough free space for an XP machine. XP needs 15% free

==============================

As mentioned in our preposting topic:

NEW INSTRUCTIONS - Read This Before Posting For Malware Removal Help

Quote:
3. Uninstall the following via Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel:

  • p2p programs like uTorrent, Bittorrent, LimeWire, Morpheus, etc., as they are a major conduit for malware and a likely source of your current issues.

P2P - I see you have P2P software ( µTorrent ) installed on your machine. We are not here to pass judgment on file-sharing as a concept. However, we will warn you that engaging in this activity and having this kind of software installed on your machine will always make you more susceptible to re-infections. It may be contributing to your current situation. This page will give you further information.

Please note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.

Please see this topic for more information:

Perils of P2P File Sharing

I would strongly recommend that you uninstall these now. You can do so via Control Panel >> Add or Remove Programs.

Smile Re: many, many, MANY corrupt installs

The update for Panda said that the downloaded update was corrupt...4 times in a row. Then it stopped working completely. I'm downloading Avira now, on your recommendation.

I freed up about 5 gigs on my C:, as well, on your recommendation. I ran a chkdsk, and the system didn't find any errors, so I don't know why DDS gave that message.

As far as AV programs go, which one would you recommend of the for-pay products? I'm not averse to buying one, but I'm a college student, so I don't have a lot on money. Which would you say is the greatest value for the dollar?

As far as P2P software, because my computer seems to be so finnicky, I like to try out software before I buy it. I definitely would not consider "stealing" software as others seem to take pleasure in. I always scan everything I download, and try to run the programs "sandboxed" several times before actually installing them. The problem only arose when the Panda cloud AV stopped functioning...I've never had an infection before in my life, which is remarkable considering I have owned computers continually for about 20 years.

Thank you very much for your assistance and advice, and please let me know if you have any other suggestions! Have a great week, and I hope to hear from you soon! Peace--

I still think a format and reinstall might do this machine a world of good, but we can try to move forward.

Making so many changes, with so many security products, often leaves a mess behind.

DDS reads the Event Logs Windows has created, so it's only telling us what Windows is saying.

The rootkit infection you had comes from various places; fake codecs, malicious sites, unsavory sites.

Many softwares have legit trials. Downloading from torrents leaves you open to infection.

Once you've uninstalled Panda, rebooted, installed Avira, updated and run a full system scan, please post the log created.

There is an installation guide here

When the scan is complete, click on the Report button. A log file will open. Please post that in your next reply.

Also post a new DDS log.

Re: many, many, MANY corrupt installs

Sorry I haven't responded to your kind assistance...my wife has been in the hospital, and I haven't even sat down at this machine in several days. I'll give you a shout tomorrow and let you know of my progress. Thanks!

Re: many, many, MANY corrupt installs

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope all will be well.

Real Life is much more important, take your time, and just keep me apprised.

Thanks for letting me know.

Re: many, many, MANY corrupt installs

OK...I give up. Avira won't install, nor AVG. I'm going to go ahead and reformat and do a clean install on my c:. You never did answer my question about the purchase of an AV product. If I were to purchase one, which would you recommend? I've read very good things about both Kaspersky and NOD32, but I will certainly consider whatever you recommend. Also, would you recommend just an AV, or an IS program? It seems like the IS is a more powerful option, but I'm not sure what I need. Also, should I reinstall XP, or one of the Win7 release candidates, since I will probably go to a Win7 once it comes out, anyway. What about a dual-boot scenario? The only things that concern me are the facts that my c: is only 20gigs, and I'm maxed out as far as RAM goes...my inspiron 1100 laptop won't work with more than one GB, from what I've read on the Dell website. Please let me know your opinions on these matters, and I'll get started with the rebuilding of this crazy machine. Thanks again for your efforts to help me!

Re: many, many, MANY corrupt installs

I use NOD32, and like it a lot. Of the paid applications, I also prefer NOD32 and kaspersky. Suites have their place, I happen to prefer standalone components.

You can read more info here

PC Safety and Security--What Do I Need?


Mostly, I help people remove malware, but I'll try to offer a couple of thoughts on your queries.

I would not personally install an RC candidate on my main machine. This machine seems under-spec'd for that OS, with the small hdd, and an older CPU - Pentium P4 2Ghz. Rather than putting more money into this machine, it may be time to consider upgrading to get Vista/Windows7 ready.

You might want to seek opinions on that in the Windows XP or Windows Vista/Windows7 sections of the forum. I also don't dual-boot, so I can't advise.

If you need help with your reinstall, please ask in our Windows XP support forum. The staff and members in that area will be better able to assist you with that.

Re: many, many, MANY corrupt installs

Well, thanks again for all your help. I'm really tempted to buy a larger 2.5" hdd to put in this machine, as it seems like it has been nothing but trouble. Before I do that, though, I'm going to see if I can get this machine running OK one last time with the current hardware. Peace to you and yours--
