HI,

I am having problems with my laptop when upgrading Windows XP. I need to install some critical upgrades: (KB943485) and (KB941644). It appears the same error all the time: (0x8007F0DA). It also says that the cryptography service is not running and when I am trying to start it, it appears the error 998.

I have read in some forums that it is due to some attack (virus, trojan,..).
I have scanned my system with Avast, RegCure and Ad-Ware and they found nothing.

What else can I do? Do you think it is a virus or a system problem?

The AntiRootKit didn't find any Rootkit. The ComboFix didn't work so I have used Deckard's System Scanner. I am attaching the log files generated.

I will appreciate all help!!

Thank you
 
I'm unable to start the cryptographic services (which seems to be the cause of the problem) following the methods listed in the website you suggested. Can anyone please check the log files I attached in the original post? I still believe there is some kind of trojan messing up with the system

thank you
 
Can't see any malware present (in the long log)

There are missing entries and possible non-needed startup applications, but I am no expert in viewing and advising of these files.

Just a real quick idea on cryptographic service is it set to automatic ?

If so, try:
Go to a command prompt (Start - Run - Cmd) and type:
net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc

If that doesn't work:
Go to a command prompt (Start - Run - Cmd) and type:
net start cryptsvc
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll

If that doesn't work:
Try Repair windows !
