Sorry my english :)

Hello, today, after windows 7 x64 update itself and reboot most of all my applications cant start and crash with error 0xc0000005. 

In "installed updates" I see a lot of Security update for Microsoft .Net Framework Client profile installed today, but I cant Uninstall them, click Uninstall, then I see "Setup.exe *32" in the task manager, then receive an error "An error occurred while trying to uninstall <update name>. It may have already been uninstalled" :(

Also I make a system restore, but without any result :(

Any ideas?

How can I manually remove this updates? Registry cleaning or something else?

You have hacked or infected files on your computer.

Check your BCD and do the below fix if necessary (at your own risk) 

In Windows open CMD as Administrator and type BCDEdit and enter,  if your Windows Boot Loader Path is xOsload.exe then you need to remove some files and repair your BCD.

NOTE:  you will need to re-activate Windows afterwards, so make sure you have your Windows 7 key handy.

Boot to Windows Repair - Command

Del D:\Windows\System32\xOsload.exe

Del D:\Windows\System32\xNtKrnl.exe

Del D:\Windows\System32\Drivers\oem-drv64.sys

attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

bootrec /rebuildbcd

    I tried to delete but it says "access denied". Time to call it a day and format?

    i don't understand the Del D thing

    I can't see that you would still have this problem because it was an old update that caused it.

    (0xc0000005) can be caused by lots of things.

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit OS, and encounter the same error, "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application." Also, I have winload.exe as my windows boot loader path. Please tell me how to rebuild bcd???? (commands to write in cmd)

    Do I need to replace xOsload.exe with winload.exe in the commands????

    You might be best starting your own thread and asking for help, because it doesn't sound like you have the exact same problem as the rest of the people that I was helping here.
