Hello Claire,

Copied �esponse from Robert Aldwinckle

From your sketchy details the only thing I can suggest
is that you use the search tool your web interface to
newsgroups provides and look for related discussions
about the code you mentioned in your Subject.

Search for both 80244019 and 0x80244019.
I.e., your code both with and with the 0x prefix
which indicates that the string is a hexadecimal value.

Hmm... well the performance of the web interface search
is really bad these days. E.g., looks like we have to keep
repeating it a few times before it gets enough cycles
to give a answer back. YMMV.

BTW normally you can't depend on the Answered Questions
or Helpful Answers filters because frequently useful
answers are never acknowledged or voted on.

In this case, it appears you may be lucky on that score.

It seems possible that your Windows installation has been deliberately
damaged by a trojan (Vundo, along any uninvited guests. (SDBot and ZLOB, all
protected by a rootkit.)) so as to prevent you updating your system or
removing the trojan.


A very good antimalware app is SUPERAntiSpyware. There is a free version

Please follow the above sugestions


I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.

Good luck

There is a very good chance that you are seeing the affects of a hijackware
infection.

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/ma...e/default.mspx

NB: Run the FULL scan, not the QUICK scan! You may need to download the
MSRT on a non-infected machine, then transfer MRT.EXE to the infected
machine and rename it to SCAN.EXE before running it.

2. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting the requested
logs in an appropriate forum, not here.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
