Removed ComboFix Log Attachment / Not Germane To Missing Windows Services
Apr 28, 2012
Vds.exe is missing completely from service.mcs. I made the terrible mistake of actually deleting this service. Now several functions do not work on my computer. I have ran combofix in hopes that it will repair/replace missing files. I did keep the log file if anyone is interested in helping solve the dilemma.Mod Edit: Removed ComboFix log attachment, not germane to missing Windows services and CF is a malware tool which is not used in this particular forum while no information has been provided to indicate malware.
so somehow I caught the malware program known as Windows 7 recovery. As per its standard operations it made my computer seem like it was having a bunch of issues, hid all the files on my hard drive, removed my background, etc. I followed a removal guide I found here on bleeping computer and it did rid of me of that annoying malware. A lingering problem I am still experiencing is that all my start menu items are missing. For example there is a folder for Microsoft office, but when you open it it shows as empty, but if I open a Microsoft office file like say a word file the program opens as normal. I have run the unhide.exe file a couple of times, and shutdown my firewall and maleware protection, but to no avail the start menu items still seem to remain hidden.
when I look through services.msc Wireless Zero Configuration is missing, how do you go about reinstalling this service in Windows 7 or can't it be done.
Don't have the specified path to Bluetooth Media Service and Bluetooth Device Monitor in system services...It appears the programs are missing. Any Ideas how or where to get them back?NEW Dell xps 15 laptopWindows 7 Home Ulitmate 64 bit
Not sure if this is the correct place for this but...this morning I noticed an exclamation in my taskbar that services were not running. I looked for services.msc in the search in the start button, but nothing came up. I also typed in MSConfig in the search in the start button search, and again, nothing came up. I also cannot find anything that resembles "administrative tools" anywhere, The exclamation point has since disappeared and in the taskmanager, it appears to be working, but...why am I not seeing these items in my start button? Exactly what does services.msc do? I'm running the 64-bit Windows 7.

I have been unable to rdp into my windows 7 professional machine for the last couple of days. I have noticed that "Remote Desktop Services" is missing from services.msc and presume this is my problem.Would anyone know how to get this service back up and running ?I'm unable to do system restore as I'm getting errors on my restore points and I've already tried sfc /scannow with no success.
I am running Windows 7 ultimate 32bit service pack 1 on an HP Pav. I use the latest Chrome Browser.
I run that normally (no virtual machine) Recently Copy/Paste function from the right-click context menu suddenly stopped working in ANY program, browser, circumstance.
I cannot even get the keyboard shortcuts to work for copy/paste (Control/C Control/V). Tried a few things; updated Java, ran windows update, etc.
Then I checked to see if the clipbook was started in Local services. To my utter surprize its GONE!
No clipbook would explain my problem without a doubt. What can I do about it? Can I download the file somewhere or will it take a restore or repair?
I had a nasty virus a while ago (I think I managed to get it all cleaned out) but it played hell with my updates, and recently I think I discovered why.[URL]In other words, I receive an error whenever I try to use Updates and BITS is not present in my services list.
I'm trying to sort out issues with my Windows 7 machine and want to disable/set to manual services that I know are not needed, but every time I have done this in the past (a while ago now) I invariably run into an issue where I've inadvertently disabled a service that was needed by something, and I end up scratching my head (as all of my hair falls out around this point) and enabling everything just to sort it..
Is there any utility that anyone is aware of that lets you toggle service status, with the option to reset to default or reset to last status, while showing a list of services that I've changed?
I can't seem to word it properly for a search engine to find relevant results, and find usually specific services and not something I'm hoping exists.
I wish the Services.msc mmc had a checkbox or some sort of flag to show altered services so you could sort them by that, which would help a lot, but it doesn't.
I did a very stupid thing and now need assistance. I have redirect malware or something on my machine.A search on the topic, talked about using ComboFix as part of a solution. I downloaded it, installed it and it started running immediately, before I could do anything else.I know that was not wise.Now trying to start anything results in "Illegal operation on a registry key that has been marked for deletion." System is Windows 7 Professional.
My computer has been lagging for about two weeks now. Figured I had a problem so I scanned it with a bunch of AV software (all in safe mode) to include: MSE, Malwarebytes, ClamAV, Hitman Pro, Bitdefender, and Spybot. ClamAV found two trojans and removed them, and I thought all was well with the world. I was wrong. Windows has been crashing and basic programs such as Outlook and Chrome have been sucking up major memory and freezing my system. So I downloaded it and ran the whole process. Like I said I was desperate. It wasn't until after it was finished, when I read the logfile and the quarantined-items file, that I realized that I was in over my head. I did some more research and found that I in no way should have been messing around with such a program, especially with my lack of IT background.
I ran combofix in my laptop (OS Win 7). After that I am getting error whenever trying to open files. "Illegal Operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion.
I ran combofix today and after combofix was finished I suddenly get the unidentified network message. I have tried flushing dns,reseting,releasing,winsock etc. When I do ipconfig I get tunnel adapter local area connection media disconnected unidentified network, tunnel adapter wireless connection media disconnected unidentified network. ipv4 connectivity no internet access, ipv6 no internet access.
run ComboFix to get rid of the spyware, I got rid of it but in the process ComboFix deleted some of my files and placed them in Qoobox.How can I get those files back?Its really important as I invested lots of time on working with these files, they are .xml type ones.Also for finding them I used Pandora Recovery, I was able to recover these files with it but they were all 0KB. I have also not found any of this files in C:\QooBox\QuarantinePandora recovery shows that the files are located at C:\Qoobox\Test, but there is nothing there. [URL]
ComboFix was recommended to me in the past, so I disabled avast! and I ran ComboFix as an administrator. Once it was finished, my laptop rebooted and I was presented with the "Preparing Log Report" screen, so I eventually closed ComboFix. Nothing would run until I rebooted and now everything seems to have gone back to the way it was (sluggish performance included.)After some quick research, I came to realize that running ComboFix without assistance is a bad idea. I'd like to make sure I haven't done any damage to my system and, if possible, improve its performance.

In windows 7, in my email program, a Word 2003 doc will not open. I must save the file to a folder, and then open it. This is the only type of file for which this occurs. I have gone thru the Default Programs drill and tried all types of options, but with no success.
using win 7 64 bit.I accidentally tried to send a large photo as as an attachment to an e-mail. How can I cancel it as each time I try to send an another email it keeps trying to send the large one with the resulting error. Will system restore remove it?
After I ran ComboFix, all my programs now receive an error message: Illegal opeertaion attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. It doesn't matter what program I try to execute, I receive the same error message. I am also unable to start internet explorer on that computer. Is there some way to restore my computer to where it was before I ran combofix? I also can't get do a DOS prompt. I am running windows 7 64-bit.
I have a serious problem on a work laptop. I have some sort of malware.I believe I got it from downloading pdf files but I'm not sure.The symptoms are I am getting a lot of disk type errors. Also, my desktopicons are mostly gone. Also there were a bunch of windows popping up.My Desktop walpaper is now black rather than the default. Now, after running ComboFix, everything I try to run says Illegal Operationattempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion
I found out that if a file has an extra dot before the extension, e.g. book1..xls (or book1. if you have "hide known file extensions" enabled in Folder Options), then the following will occur. If you right click the file, click Send to, click Mail Recipient, a new mail window opens up with the attachment of the file RENAMED TO book1._xls. I.e. the extra dot is replaced with an underscoreAlso, the funny thing is if there are additional dots before the extension, only the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc. dots will be replaced with underscores.That means if the dot JUST BEFORE the extension is in an even-number position (counting from left to right), it will be replaced with "_", making the file extension looking like "_xls" and thus the attachment will be unopenable by your recipient unless he or she manually deletes the undercore from the extension.E.g. book1...xls will become book1._.xls; file name changed but still openable.But book1....xls will become book1._._xls; file becomes unopenable.This does not happen in Outlook Express. It seems to only happen with Windows Live Mail
I recently upgraded from XP to Win7. Now, when I have a file download or attachment, either in Outlook or any browser, it takes me to the File Save window. Before I could simply click on the attachment and it would open (unless it couldn't figure out what kind of file it was). This is a real pain when viewing pictures attached to an email. I've looked everywhere and can't find this issue addressed in any documentation. I've had Win 7 in the past and this didn't happen.
I have tried several times to send an attachment but I keep getting a failed delivey message. It is a CV written out using microsoft works. I have tried sending it from my ''desktop'' and also from ''my documents'' but these methods have failed.
Does it exist a way to see an attachment without download it? Every time that I receive an attachment in an email the only way that I can see it is if the same is downloaded and when is download is saved in the documents or picture files.A lot of them is not worth it to even download less saved. Please, because of my job I receive a lot of attachment and it a wast of time download and deleted all that I am not interested to keep it.
I am currently running Windows 7 with Gmail via Google Chrome & Windows Live Mail 2011. In both email systems when I select "attachment" the window will open but has no menu bar where I can select the appropriate drive or folder of the file I wish to attach. Thought it was a Gmail issue, but discovered that Live Mail does the same thing. Wondering if there is a way to get the menu bar back?
Is there a way to send a photo (Jpg) as an attachment using Windows Live Mail the same way as Outlook Express would do? When I try to send a photo as an attachment it is sent in an album using SkyDrive (What ever that is). I can sent word files OK, but not photos.
