Deeper problem RE "Execute processes remotely has stopped working"

<< < (4/5) > >>

FreeCat:
Howdy Rick and Shane - I disabled the on-board NIC and put in a newer Netgear card.  It pretty much installed the drivers by itself.  I did some more of what Rick mentioned re Mr. Fixit and the firewall is now somehow green for the first time.  top section and bottom section is green; previously there was not any top or bottom section; there was only the message "Adjust your firewall settings" with a big red mark on the left; but no adjustment was possible --- no dialog opened when pressing the "adjust" button.

I ran the tweaking firewall fix but it took a VERY long time (maybe an hour).  I rebooted and still no connection.  Still lost.  anyfurther suggestions would be appreciated.

Rick:
Hi, bring your laptop to a public or friends place and see if it can login to internet. Thank you!

Your Internet Service Provider had a look yet? (LOL)

After you re-installed the new network card; did you RUN TCPoptimizer again so it can configure the new Network card?
Note: BTW, learn how to set up the TCPoptimizer customs settings based on your network speed ok! It will help to solve more problems! I have it set to open 16 connections…

Try from run command; type ncpa.cpl
what is the status of the connection, is there a red X ?
choose right click for options.
open the properties and Check to see that the IPv6 and IPv4 are enabled.

# Note: Some users have there systems setup to not use the internet; Government employees for example.

To confirm reset; open a cmd prompt in administrator;
Type;     one command at a time and hit enter

 netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt     
 netsh winsock reset catalog
 netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
 netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

in the command prompt. it will take a minute to complete. then a reboot is required.

if still failed;

type:

ipconfig /all
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew "local area connection"

A reboot is not required

if further problems occur;
ipconfig /all
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

This will be my last entry in this post; confirm each TCPIP default key parameters...

Here is something to consider giving a try; it works in offline mode :) "I am not suggesting to downlaod this version from this website, I am suggesting to read the material they provide to see if it fits you trying this method, "which I would try"; if so, I would search and download the program from a MSFT server and then have a try     http://www.ihaveapc.com/2012/04/how-to-fix-windows-troubles-on-the-go-with-microsoft-fixit-portable/

You can use the Manual Reset Method found here; NOTE, it says XP, but it is good for all windows operating systems!
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357 (just click the area "let me fix it") you should be good to go!

Search this key in the registry:
HKLM\system\currentcontrol set\ ser vices\ tcpip6 parameters\
in the right side, is there a key that says disabled?
to re-enable IPv4 and IPv6, change it to; 0
it is better to remove the key altogether!
but, be warned... back up the key in case...
but all it does is prevent access to internet.
(MSFT, further evaluation is required to see what service it points to that actually stops this malware service)

For now, let do some general maintenance;

Disconnect the network cables first!
Disable remote connection features!

Lets do reset the firewall settings first, how about?

Right click on the network icon in the right hand corner on the desktop screen;
Click on diagnose and repair feature. Be sure log the error message here!

Right click on the network icon in the right hand corner on the desktop screen;
click on network and sharing;
lower left hand corner;
click on firewall;
then click on change settings;
tick the checkbox block all incoming;
click the advanced tab;
lower right hand corner, click restore default settings

Lets confirm a clean network system by resetting all the modems and the routers by using the reset button on each device;
Be sure to hold down the reset button for at least .20 seconds on each device while it is unplugged with no wires attached!

Then reconfigure them, PLEASE DO THIS OK!
Change the password on the router;
Changed passwords for each wireless connection, be sure to reconnect with the right passwords;
Take a look at network connections;
Are any adapters disabled? If disabled; should solved your problem by enabling them

If there enabled, continue reading;
Right click on the network icon in the right hand corner on the desktop screen;
Click network and sharing;
click manage network connections;
right click each adapter, check that each service is installed; I would, uninstall them and reinstall them at this point. I would do this to clean up the registry adapters settings. Go to device manager, uninstall any network devices including the software…
Then, I would restart the machine. Do not use the check new hardware feature here, let us be sure that the PNP feature is working correctly here too…

Check to be sure your network is setup to private...

Your TCPIP.SYS file might be corrupt, doing a SFC /TCPIP.SYS on this file will help to determine that

What is the results?

Shane:
These problems sounds identical to some rootkit viruses that I have been seeing lately. But so far none of the scans have shown anything.

On a side note always make sure java and flash are up to date as that is how a lot of the viruses and rootkits get in just by looking at a site and no even clicking anything.

Let me know if the steps Rick asked you to do help at all.

Howdy Rick - First off, I want to thank your for all the thinking you have done on my behalf.  God Bless you!

Here is what I have done:  Yes I ran the TCP Optimizer twice but it did not help.

I did the ncpa.cpl and it was red IPv4 and 6 were enabled.

I reset the netshell and flushed and re-registered the dns

I tried the Mr.Fixit and I rebooted each hub and the main router.

I reinstalled (re-downloaded) all the drivers.

Then I turned off all non-MS serves and rebooted.   Nothing.

Finally, I spoke with Alex of OMG and he was able to pint the machine in question from another of my machines but was notable to connect to it on my LAN.

So, after all your help at this point, since all restore pointes (except the several I made in the last week and 2 in April are gone), I am performing an in-place W7 update.

I started it last night and it has rebooted 4 times and is still going.

I am hoping for the best.

Shane and Rick, if this can by just visiting a site, would is the ABSOLUTE BEST anti-everything software that I should have running all the time?

Whether I recover this system or have to build a new one, I will only be using W7 in a virtual machine of some type (I am thinking of using VirtualBox on top of OpenSUSE) so what anti-everthing would be good for linux?

Shane, I feel slightly dumb asking this:  To get back to this topic, I had to go to the update-email that you sent.  How do I find it without doing that?

Thanks again for all your help and the help of Shane.

I will keep you posted on the outcome.

Rick and Shane - OK DONE!  :)

Alex from OMGtechhelp.com decided that all we could know about the cause of the problem was it was whatever was installed the weeks before the problem began since the last reboot.  Well, figuring that out was difficult for me.  I remember that the night of 5-26 there was as windows update with about 7 or 8 things to be done. That day, I believe there was also some iPhone converter gizmo that my wife wanted to get pics from her phone and I had to install iTunes which also installed about 6 other things (Bojour, Apple update and some other crap that I deleted after the problem showed up. 

Another side effect was that restore system entries began disappearing as I mentioned previously.  So, I think it was either iTunes (or one of the things that went with it like hte Leawo iConverter) or some W7 update.

The next step after getting communications was doing the side-by-side in-place Windows update which Alex at OMGF was excellent at doing correctly.  This clear all corruption and rewrote many of the basic W7 files and DLLs so whatever corruption was there was gone.  OMGtechehlp also said to ONLY update the "critical" (labeled by MS) updates as they have to do with security.  He said you do not really need all the other crap they update unless you execute a program that ways xxx must be up do date.  He also cautioned against IE 10; he said just use IE 9; right now there is no reason to go to 10 with its problems.

So that is the story.  Several weeks of hell behind me in two short days.  We do not know how or why, but between the Tweaking.com tools OMG used and the OMGtechhelp and expertise (and Rick's contribution).  I am fixed and happy.

Now, on to Linux and VirtualBox.  lol  :)
