malwarebytes may have seen the weatherbug as malware... you may need to reinstall.

w00t!

glad its back up and running

Re-Install weather bug, malwarebytes is the shit!

Download Avast asap and get rid of AVG

OTWP if this problem shows itself again then you have a locked file in your win32 .dll extensions and you will then need combofix to unhook it from there. Malwarebytes will not unhook .dll files that are infected.

So if this bogus antivirus pops up again all of a sudden its then in a locked .dll file.

Just a heads up

But do not run it if you have a root kit on your comp. I forgot to mention that part. Hopefully it was just infected files and malwarebytes took care of em.

I've tried to re-install the Weatherbug app, and no luck.

Matter of fact, I can't get any apps to work. I keep getting a "service not available" message.

And I've installed Avast, but it won't let me register. I click the "register" button expecting to get a pop-up-like box to fill in some info for the free license, and nothing happens.

oh boy

reboot

****.

Something is still wrong.

Windows Defender is saying I need to check for definition updates, but then I get an error code saying it can't check for updates.

You wont need the key for i think 30 days, it should work now. But register here to get it

you might also have some errors in some files after the scan. Try using crap cleaner to clear up some errors first before getting into locked .dll files ok?

If no .exe files will open, you'll need to run this .reg fix to fix the association. That's the .reg file I was talking about earlier.

Update for correct link: http://www.winhelponline.com/fileasso/exefix_vista.zip

Dowload and run that, and it will ask you if you want to import it into the registry. After that, you should be able to double-click files again.

you posting on the infected rig?

you might have some registry errors going on.

I'm back on the laptop.

I'm currently waiting on a reboot, but I couldn't install the Windows Update that was recommended either.

What.

The.
