Runtime error when removing malware

Let's try this..

<ol>
<li>Download <>Malwarebytes Chameleon from <a title="External link" href="http://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/chameleon" rel="nofollow external">here</a> </>and extract it to a folder in a convenient location</li>
<li>Make certain that your PC is connected to the internet and then open the folder where you extracted Chameleon to and double-click on the Chameleon help file and then follow the onscreen instructions to use it.</li>
<li>If the Chameleon help file itself will not open, then double-click each file one by one until you find one that works, which will be indicated by a black DOS/command prompt window <em><>Note:</> Do not attempt to open <>mbam-killer</> as that is not a Chameleon executable and serves a different purpose)</em></li>
<li>Follow the onscreen instructions to press a key to continue and Chameleon will proceed to download and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for yo</li>
<li>Once it has done this, it will attempt to update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, click <>OK</> when it says that the database was updated successful</li>
<li>Next, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will automatically open and perform a Quick scan</li>
<li>Upon completion of the scan, if anything has been detected, click on <>Show Result</></li>
<li>Have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware remove any threats that are detected and click <>Yes</> if prompted to reboot your computer to allow the removal process to complete</li>
<li>After your computer restarts, open <>Malwarebytes Anti-Malware</> and perform a Full System scan to verify that there are no remaining threats</li>
Please add both logs in your next reply.
</ol>

The link for windows repair does not work. I think I found it manually and it failed to run/start. Did you check your link?
 
Apologies for that, they must have changed the link recently.

Try installing it in safe mode.

Also in safe mode, run mbam-clean.exe and try installing malwarebytes in safe mode as well.
 
Did you get any error messages?

Go to Start > Run > type cmd in the search box and press ok

In the command prompt, type sfc /scannow
 
ran sfc/scannow. I guess it worked. no report generated. no error message either though, so i guess thats good
 
Same. Still have not fixed windows installer service. Windows won't complete update. AVG won't update definitions.
 
Yes, but I no longer have a windows xp cd or keycode. Had this computer for many years and have moved a lot. Dont have any original software. I guess everything is replaceable except my windows
 
You can most likely restore to factory default but you will lose your files. I recommend you to backup your files onto an external drive (USB/external hard-drive)
