I had figured that out long ago....

I won't help with making it work illegally, but if there is malware issues I will help clean it up and then advise you do make it legal so these problems won't happen any longer. An improperly patched (updated) computer is very unreliable as you can see and putting a legal copy of Windows on an infected computer is very bad.

Try running this. Be sure to rename it.

Download Deckard's Association File Tool (DAFT) and save it to your desktop.
  • Rename daft.exe to daft.com and double click on it to run.
  • Read the disclaimer and click OK.
  • Click on the Scan button.
  • If it finds faulty file associations, they will appear in red beside a checkbox. If this occurs, just place a checkmark (tick) in the boxes in question.
  • Click the Fix button.

It wasn't my fault you know!! I was young and dumber when that guy fooled me and I told my pa that I needed a comp of my own choice so he got this guy and he got me this pc and years later I realized how he had cheated !!

I didn't ask why or accuse you of anything, just stated where I stand on the issue. But to be honest, you now know it's not legit so the naive excuse no longer applies.

Can you do a system restore and try to get some functions back?

This is a restore point I'm working in right now, Actually earlier I had downloaded Avast and HJT etc but then Avast scanned the comp and asked me to chose what to do to the infected files I choose delete but then my comp stopped working, so I took it back to this restore point I created today itself, earlier I had no restore points.

Shall I restart the comp and see if download works?

You might try restoring the files that Avast removed and then restart.

There is a possibility, depending on how this copy of Windows was installed that Avast is removing files needed to run Windows properly. Many antivirus are starting to detect illegal code and remove it as if it were a virus.

Start Avast and go into the quarantine then choose the files and restore them. You will probably need to restart for it to take effect.

See if you can do this and then restart and try again.

Clearing Temp Folder
  • Click on Start and then Run.
  • In the text box in the Run window, type %Temp% and click OK. A folder full of files and other folders will appear.
  • Remove everything inside the Temp folder, choose Edit and then Select All from the menu.
    • Note: If you're prompted that there are hidden files in this folder, just click on OK to bypass the message.
  • Now that all of the files and folders are selected, hit your Delete key or choose File and then Delete from the menu.
  • Confirm that you want to delete the files by clicking Yes on the Confirm Multiple File Delete window that opens.
  • After all of the files have been deleted close the window and empty your Recycle Bin.

If the new account will not work right do this. Actually it won't hurt to do it anyway to make sure these files are gone.

Note: the below instructions were created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, DO NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system

Go to Start > Run and type notepad.exe then click OK

Copy the text in the Code box below and paste it into Notepad.

Code: [Select]
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell=explorer.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\csrss.exe]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell=explorer.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\lsass.exe]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell=explorer.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\services.exe]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell=explorer.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\smss.exe]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell=explorer.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\winlogon.exe]

In Notepad go to File > Save as...

Next to File name: type fixme.reg Use the dropdown box next to Save as type: and select All files. Save it to the Desktop.

There should now be a file on the Desktop that looks like this

Double-click fixme.reg it and allow it to merge with the Registry.

You may not see anything happen but give it a few seconds or so to finish.

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it did not work.


Now delete the fixme.reg file from the Desktop.

Go to C:\Program Files and look for the Avast folder. See if the quarantine folder is there and right click the files to see if there is a restore option.
