No real terrible bad guys jumping out at me in this. Since XP ended with SP3, what does this do?

Windows XP Service Pack 4 (HKLM\...\Windows XP Service Pack) (Version: 20160308.230000 - Charalampos Kazakos )

Microsoft Security Essentials does not update or monitor on XP any longer, and really could be the issue there. For now, go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it, being sure to reboot after.

===============

After the reboot, you need to refresh the WMI, which shows Avast enabled but no hint it's actually installed.

Go to Start - Run, and copy/paste or type the following.

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection WBEM 132 %windir%\inf\wbemoc.inf



This will start the process of rebuilding your WMI, which you need for many ongoing operations there.


When you are prompted to locate the files, use the browse button to locate the following. It will at first default to your CD drive, so use the browser to redirect it:

C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

The repair will take some time to complete. You will get a display popup when done.


Reboot again, then try RogueKiller again.
