Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Trojan:Win32/Critet.BS - False positive from Defender?
« on: March 27, 2018, 11:17:31 pm »- Updated Defender databases this morning
- Re-downloaded 4.0.15
- Download gets past Defender
- Installer does not
- Error message (see attachment)
- Main executable Repair_Windos.exe is missing from in installation folder
I managed to place Repair_Windows.exe on Defender's exceptions list.
Windows Repair is now fully functional again.

« on: March 27, 2018, 05:13:15 am »... I'm surprised that there aren't more posts about this on this forum, which I would have thought there would be if it was a widespread problem.
I'm on Windows 10 (1709 with latest updates) and the standard Windows Defender flags the main executable as a positive.
Possibly related to this thread: Safe Mode = No Go , I experienced the following just this morning:
- I wanted to check something with Windows Repair, so I restarted the PC in Safe Mode
- In Safe mode, the Windows Repair Systray tool was active, but starting the main tool didn't do anything
- After some investigation, I realized that the main executable was missing from the installation folder
- During re-installation, it became clear to me that Defender removes it, leaving behind a mamed Windows Repair

Thanks for the advice.
Data is already on an automatic backup schedule.
I guess, it'll be a fresh install of Windows on the new harddrive. Little point in moving/transfering a corrupted windows system.
Sigh.....

I ran the chkdsk which came up with a number of bad sectore. See other thread.
But I also worked on replacng those missing and corrupted files.
Meanwhile, I've used the Repair All function and this helped getting rid of these nasty Red Warning Crosses in Windows Update. Giving Windows Update another try, it figured something is wrong and suggested that I run a Fix-It, which in its turn reported having fixed some stuff.
Currently, there are no error messages running Windows Update, but it gets stuck at downloading at 5%.
Apologies for intermixing two remedy trajectories.
But I also worked on replacng those missing and corrupted files.
- I discovered that my netbook has the same windows 8.1 Pro 32-bit version as my inlaw's PC
- So I took the missing and corrupted files from that netbook and copied them to the problematic PC using Take ownership
- After that, WR Pre-Scan continues to report that some .mum files are corrupted
- On my netbook though, they are not seen as corrupted

General Computer Support / Wininit chkdsk log advise (CLOSED)
« on: April 11, 2015, 02:13:22 am »
So, I had chkdsk execute upon next restart and it came up with some error messages. See attachment.
I'm not quite sure if everything has been resolved now or that I'm in trouble?
Could do with some help interpreting the log.

I managed to take ownership and copy the files in place.
This hasn't solved the problems with that particular computer though.
I'm now seriously suspecting harddisk or RAM failure.
Until now I've done all investigations remotely via TeamViewer.
I fear that I need to go down there and investigate this PC on site to get a proper feel of it.
Thanks for your help so far

Here too, no rights to access the Windows\Temp folder
Is this a Win8.1 thing?

From https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee619779(v=ws.10).aspx
Steps to resolve this issue
Get the files required from other sources. The options available can be found in the “Options for obtaining files” section below.
Copy the files to %Windir%\Temp\CheckSUR directory of the corrupted computer following the subdirectory format as follows:
All files of type *.mum and *.cat should be placed in the %windir%\Temp\CheckSUR\servicing packages directory
All files of type *.manifest should be placed in the %windir%\Temp\CheckSUR\manifests\ directory
For example:
Important: Whenever you copy a .mum file, you must also copy the corresponding .cat file of the same name.
Rerun the System Update Readiness tool.

Thanks for the files, Shane.
But upon copying the files in the \windows\servicing\Packages folder I receive the error message that I'm not allowed to do that.
(Also when logged in as an Administrator)
Is there a way to bypass this?

Thanks Shane,
That would be very nice of you.
I noticed that there are quite a few *nl_NL* (Dutch language) files in the list.
No probs getting hold of these?
I hope you have some scripted method of collecting the files from your repository, as these file names are quite horrific.
I look froward to hearing from you tomorrow or some time later this week.
Cheers,
Stephan

The computer of my father-in-law has trouble with installing Windows Updates.
Investigating the issue I noticed that he had a series of corrupted files on his HD.
After having run chckdsk, Tweaking.com.WindowsRepair reports that there are corrupt and missing files in the \Windows\servicing\Packages folder structure. (See attachment)
I downloaded a Windows 8.1 Pro (32bit) ISO from Microsoft, but I can't seem to find these folders on it.
Any ideas as to where to get copies of these problematic files?
Cheers,
Stephan
