So yesterday I noticed my android phone simply couldn’t connect to the PC via usb…simply wasn’t recognised. I tried fixing it…installing/re-installing drivers…as a last ditch attempt I deleted the registry keys associated with it (anything to do with android HTC). I then thought I’d give windows update a go…maybe it could fix it…installed 7 updates, after I rebooted all USB devices were not functioning…reset the computer again. This time it loaded the “Secure Boot Violation” message…I wiped the HDD clean and did a fresh install. When windows started installing its fresh updates upon shutting the computer down for them to take effect, it would take hours for them to install…and after reboot during the configuration stage it “failed to configure - reverting changes” I was also given this error code once I got back into windows:
WindowsUpdate_80080005 WindowsUpdate_dt000
So I’m not sure if it’s my fault for deleting the registry keys, the windows update or in fact I did receive a rootkit virus.
So far I’ve scanned with AVG, malware Bytes and aswMBR. The first two said it was clean.
I have re-flashed the BIOS for good measure.
I have also ran an MBR fix with aswMBR
I have also run SFC in command prompt - no problems there
Local C disk has been checked during startup - “Disk is Clean”
OS is Windows 7 64-bit
These are the results from aswMBR, wasn’t sure how to interpret them:

Just want to get to the bottom of this as I feel like scrapping the whole computer due to paranoia haha.
Thanks in advance guys
I only did the wipe, after I got the “secure boot violation” error.
I put the windows CD in, deleted all partitions, created new partitions and reformatted new partitions…then installed windows.
I went out and bought a new SSD HDD (needed a new one anyway) installed the same windows 7 CD…exactly the same problem. Cannot install a single windows update. Infact I can’t even access the windows update section in control panel. It just freezes…
A, I can think of trying now is to see if windows all in one can reset the permissions
Download Windows All In One Repair from Tweaking.com to your desktop
Install the programme
Reboot to safe mode with networking
Run Windows All In One
Select Step 2
Select open Pre-repairs scan then click scan
Let that complete
Save the results to a text file on your desktop
I haven’t had a chance to implement that windows repair process as I was at work all day…however I left windows to “check for updates” all day - and it found 211 updates…updating as of this post.
Not sure what to make of this. Not comfortable using this computer in case the same happens again…I will run a memtest, over night before I apply that windows repair process.
