I think that TuneUp Utilities and the malware has damaged your system beyond repair so that it's too dificult to fix without doing a Repair Install. It may still come to reinstalling Vista and starting again. You would be best using the Step 5 option but make sure you have a fair bit of time available before you start -see the link which follows: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html To boot from the DVD you select option 2 http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD81021X0000R01.htm Take a break when you have downloaded the ISO and have it on DVD and are ready to do the Repair Install. i downloaded the iso file the other day , but i just tried to download the windows 7 usb-dvd downloader tool and it wont let me do it in safe mode ???

Let's get a little wayalong to the solution.

There is a configuration error with your BITS service.

Please COPY all the lines between the ++++++++ (but not the ++) and paste into a Notepad window.

Save the file as BITS.REG to your desktop.

Once saved, close Notepad.

right-click on the BITS.REG file you just saved, and select Merge from the options list.

You'll get a couple of warnings - accept them.

You should get a 'Success' message.

Reboot

now open an Elevated Command Prompt Window and COPY AND PASTE the following commands

NET START BITS

SC QC BITS

SC QUERYEX BITS

post the results.
