From a thread I hijacked below but basically the same issue. If anybody can help please do. This one is a big PITA. I can't access many domains to update the various spy software.
Hi Mike,
I have basically the same problem. However many websites are blocked from me such as windows update and various sites were help can be found such as geekstogo.com, just to name one. I had the red X, brastk.exe and wini10809.exe. It installed Antispywarepro 2009. I have deleted brastk, wini10809, BEEP.SYS and karna.dat with luck. The red X is gone and I now have the ability to access hijackthis and AVG again. However I still couldn't use malwarebytes until I renamed it. I'm running a scan now but the version is old because the domain to get an update is one of the blocked domains. I also can't install spybot S&D because of a blocked domain. Below is my hijack file.
