Deeper problem RE "Execute processes remotely has stopped working"
FreeCat:
Hi Shane - How I found you: OMG used your program to fix my W7-64b-ultimate did some things to fix firewall, .NET, etc - - And all seemed to work fine for about 6 weeks on the W7.
[This problem I am about to describe, I believe has nothing to do with what OMG did, as the same problem showed up on another machine which OMG had nothing to do with. I have a small environment of several Synology NAS, about 8 XP machines, one W2011 Home Server, and two W7 machines. - Of course, I have read through (several times) the other thread on your side called: "Execute processes remotely has stopped working"]
Then, on 5-27 after a reboot this machine could no longer connect to the INTERNET. It has Malware-bytes anti-virus. I had not rebooted this box for about two weeks and the only weird software that I installed the week before was something that needed the latest version of iTunes so I installed iTunes also at that time. I have since done a full virus scan and uninsulated both iTunes and the program that needed iTunes.
Yet, I can not connect to the INTERNET and I can not "run to the finish" your tweaking programs.
Funny coincidence. I have another box that uses W7-32b-home-premium and several weeks before the problem with the big box, the W7-32b-home-premium not connect to the INTERNET AND no Tweaking tools would work there either. Yes did the vscan and tested cable for both boxes up to the cable that goes into them with a third machine that connects fine.
Another hint. I use a program called Ensign Windows (7 day free trial available at www.ensignsoftware.com and he has a program that normally connects to the INTERNET (but does not NEED the INTERNET) but that will not run on either box. I called him and he is mystified. He said it would work if you are connected or not.
Another hint: When I go into W firewall on either machine I get the message "Update your Firewall settings - Windows Firewall is not using the recommended settings to protect your computer" And, there is a button there to "Use recommended settings." When this is pressed, there is an hourglass for about a minute but then, the hourglass goes away and nothing has changed.
If I try Advanced Firewall settings I get "There was an error opening the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in." The Windows Firewall can not be turnjed on or off, either.
These above anomalies happened the same on both machines.
Also, on both machines, when I run the Tweaking AIO each process seems to execute for a while (each process starts and I see a command windows open and a log stream in the windows) but near the "end(?)" I get the feared "Execute processes remotely has stopped working."
Also, on both machines, simple stuff like Aieesoft DVDxxx programs (which never have any problems) are not working on either machine: "Execute processes remotely has stopped working"
HELP! I am a free cat trapped inside a box with no windows to the INTERNET :).
Shane:
Could be a number of different things. So we will cover multiple bases :-)
It is possible the system is running out of resources, my repair tool doesnt need the internet. The only internet check it does is to check for any new versions and nothing more.
Also if you have a root kit virus on the system that would explain a lot as well.
A lot of root kits hijack the network and so if there is a bad root kit on the system it would explain the internet dropping and the firewall not working.
Download this root kit scanner
http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/mbar/
extract it, open it and update it. Then once updated copy the folder to a thumb drive and run it on those systems and let me know if it finds anything and we will go from there :-)

Shane, there is another program called what changed, it might be a good idea to ask people to run that and upload the txt as a attachment too. I think that will conclude the issue. the program is free... similar to OTL
d. Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode with Networking to start Windows into and press Enter.
try to run the below mentioned online scanners.
Run Online Microsoft Safety Scanner
http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Click above link, "Download" and Run.
Run TDSKiller to check if any infections affecting the installation.
a. Download the file TDSSKiller.exe from the following link and save it on the Desktop.
http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.exe
b. Double click TDSSKiller.exe to scan the system.
c. Wait for the scan and disinfection process to complete.
d. Once the scan is completed infections will be listed, you will get an option to remove infections. I would request you to remove the infections and shutdown the computer and start again (do not restart the computer).

Hi Shane and Rick - I, first, did the AM-rootkit with no problems - TDSkiller - no problems - MS Security Scanner is running and does not look like it will finish until midnight - But, I do not believe it will find anything as I have had the full Malware Bytes running here for some time before the incident.
So, I am asking if you can think of other things to try? Thanks to both of you for your help.
Shane:
Are you able to get on the net with safe mode with networking?
