Downloads and updates corrupt

[Xenomorph]

Running Dial-a-fix, but it may be stuck on Empty System32\Catroot2

[SuperDave]

Please try running it again and see if it still hangs.

[Xenomorph]

Yeah, its getting stuck on Empty System32\Catroot2-Stopping CRYPTSVC

[SuperDave]

Are you certain that ZoneAlarm is not blocking the updates?

[Xenomorph]

I'm pretty sure, I have tried switching zone alarm off for several downloads/updates and it made no difference. The programmes have all permissions in ZoneAlarm and always updated no problem until a couple of weeks ago.
Also should I not get some kind of warning from ZoneAlarm if its blocking things?
Do you think ZoneAlarm is blocking Dial a Fix?

[SuperDave]

Do you think ZoneAlarm is blocking Dial a Fix?

If it's like my Firewall it will give you plenty of warnings.

Please download Farbar Service Scanner and run it on the computer with the issue.

• Press "Scan".
  
• It will create a log (FSS.txt) in the same directory the tool is run.
• Please copy and paste the log to your reply.

This is the FarBar log, internet services was the only box ticked, is this correct?

Ok. Please run Dial-A-Fix again but this time leave "Empty System32\catroot2" unchecked  and don't hit the "Flush SoftwareDistribution" button.

When opening Dial-a-fix I get this message.
Dial-a-Fix was unable to determine your version of internet explorer, certain DLL registrations will be skipped.

Then during registering iepeers.dll I get this
