Windows Repair tool 4.0.12 issues

Hello,

I'm having issues with running the repair tool. I've tried running it multiple times and each time it fails after 4 attempts. It tells me to run the program in Safe Mode and even there it fails. It doesn't matter which preset I choose it still fails at repair 1/7 every single time. I've disabled my antivirus(Security Essentials) and my pc is not connected to the internet. Is there an older version of the software that will work better with Windows 7 64 bit? Thanks.

There are older versions you can try by selecting the ones in the right pane of https://filehippo.com/download_tweaking-com-windows-repair/ but have you run an antimalware scan ?

The free version of MBAM is a decent one to use - https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/

Click on Scan in the left pane then on Custom Scan/Configure Scan and check the box for C: then on Scan.

Infections or adware can interfere with the repair program as well as the running of Windows.

You said you have issues with your system - what are they ?

Thanks for the response!

I already ran mbam prior to using the windows repair tool. It found issues and quarantined them. My issue now is that I can't use the internet. It's connected but when I open a browser it won't load anything. So whatever malware I had on the machine must have damaged a system file(s). I tried running combofix prior to using the repair tool but it gets stuck at outputting to a folder every time I run it. So I decided to try this windows repair tool and I'm getting fail repair attempts every time I run it. I just now tried an older version and same issue. So I guess at this point I'm almost ready to format and re-install W7.

Boggin:
Was it just a normal scan you performed with MBAM or the Custom one as I've suggested ?

Can you connect in Safe Mode with Networking ?

It's possible that you still have adware on the machine.

Go Start - type iexplore -extoff and press enter.

That will open IE without add-ons - click on the home page icon to see if you can browse.

Went into safe mode w/networking and tried "iexplore -extoff" and it loaded up IE w/o addons but still doesn't load any websites.

Now trying a custom scan w/mbam as you suggested. My other issue with mbam is I can't update it but I downloaded the latest installer.
