OS Integrety Check

[drnosh1]

Is there a program that can check the integrety of my OS? I am trying to fix another buddies computer and I think I have it fixed but I am still getting a couple of errors when trying to install Ad-Aware. I'm not too sure what is causing it I just know that it was seriously jacked up when he gave it to me.

if its xp try SFC /scannow
may work in vista too

[drnosh1]

It didn't work. I am working on Vista. Sorry I didn't state that in the original post.

start->all programs->Accessories->Command Prompt, Right click, select "run as administrator".

Now you can enter the sfc /scannow command. (needs admin privileges)

Thank you. It is scanning now, but I keep getting a windw tht pops up that is saying "Host process for Windows Services has stopped workng" Any suggestions?

[smeezekitty]

it means svchost.exe has crashed
it would ignore it for right now

[drnosh1]

It didn't find any intergrety violations.

Now I am getting iexplore.exe crash. Any suggestions?

[smeezekitty]

but anyway you ether have corrupted registriey or a virus

[drnosh1]

Any suggestions on fixing the registery? It seams to be crashing every program that tries to run.

Forget about the registry for now.

If you've lost your connection, download the programs to a USB stick on a good PC and transfer them to your PC.
If you have difficulty, you may have to run them in safe mode, tap F8 at start, .
If you have difficulty, you may have to rename the programs when you save them.
If you get stuck on a step, proceed to the next .

Post the logs for step 3,4 and 6.

Here are the log files from the following 3 programs:

Malewarebytes
SUPERAntiSpyware
HiJackThis

After I ran the clean up of the corrupt files I tried rescanning and both Malewarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware both get stuck on windows\system32\config\SOFTWARE.LOG1

I have no idea why.
