Setup Runtime error. Can't install malwarebytes

[gordonmslai]

Setup failed with "Internal Error: Expression error 'Runtime Error (at 112:109): Could not call proc."​

 

I actually can't install any third-party programs really and none of my browsers (Chrome/Firefox) can access internet except for Microsoft Edge. Also programs that use the internet (Spotify, Skype, etc.) don't even start up anymore.

 

I've attached my logs from FRST.

Yes Winsock Catalog was damaged, think of Winsock as Bycyle chain. When all links are inplace (even malicious links) the chain will continue, if any links are removed the chain is broken. That can happen if links are removed either manually or with security tools.

When winsock entries (links) are removed the catalog (chain) has to be reset (links re-connected) Does that help?

 

We still need to run couple more scans to be sure there are no remnants of malicious entries remaining...

 

Download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your Desktop.

• Double click on Adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
• Click on the Scan in the Actions box
• Please wait fot the scan to finish..
• When "Waiting for action.Please uncheck elements you want to keep" shows in top line..
• Click on the Cleaning box.
• Next click OK on the "Closing Programs" pop up box.
• Click OK on the Information box & again OK to allow the necessary reboot
• After restart the AdwCleaner(C*)-Notepad log will appear, please copy/paste it in your next reply. Where * is the number relative to list of scans completed...
  

 
Next,
 
Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts. (re-enable when done)
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista, 7, or 8; instead of double-clicking, right-mouse click JRT.exe and select "Run as Administrator".
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.
  

 

Next,

 

Download Dr Web Cureit from here http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit save to your desktop. (Scroll to bottom of page)

• The file will be randomly named
• Reboot to safe mode <<<<<------------ http://support.eset.com/kb2268/
• Run Dr Web
• Tick the I agree box and select continue
• Click select objects for scanning
  
  
  
  
  
• Tick all boxes as shown
• Click the wrench and select automatically apply actions to threats
  
  
  
  
  
• Press start scan
• The scan will now commence
  
  
  
  
  
• Once the scan has finished click open report <<<--- Do not miss this step
  
  
  
  
  
• A notepad will open
• Select File > Save as..
• Save it to your desktop
  

This log will be excessive,  Please attach it to your next reply…
 

Let me see those logs, also give an update on any remaining issues or concerns.

 

Thank you,

 

Kevin..

For some reason Dr. Web CureIt! didn't do anything when I clicked on "Open Report" but there weren't any threats detected anyway.

Thanks for the update, if no remaining issues or concerns run the following to clean up....

 

Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop.

Or use the following if first link is down:

"Delfix link mirror"

Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator

Make Sure the following items are checked:

• 
     
• Remove disinfection tools
     
• Purge System Restore <--- this will remove all previous and possibly exploited restore points, a new point relative to system status at present will be created.
     
• Reset system settings
  

Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed.

The tool will create a log when it has completed. We don't need you to post this.

Any remnant files/logs from tools we have used can be deleted…
