Application cannot be executed. the file **** is infected
« on: March 24, 2010, 06:13:25 PM »
I got the error message "application cannot be executed. The file wuauclt.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?" My IE doesn't work anymore, but mozilla does. I did a system restore, but the same error msg popped up again after a couple hours.

I looked through some of the other forums with the same problem, and i tried to install the HijackThis, but it says it's infected and won't install on my computer.

Even though you've probably tried this, please go here and follow the instructions. If you get an "infected file" warning, try changing the file name to something else. Once you post all the required logs, a malware expert will be able to help you the most.

Download OTL  to your Desktop. But, before saving it, rename it to OTL.com then click the Save button.
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
%systemroot%\*. /mp /s
%systemroot%\system32\*.dll /lockedfiles
%systemroot%\system32\*.exe /lockedfiles
%systemroot%\Tasks\*.job /lockedfiles
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\*.sys /lockedfiles

  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time
