NOTE The computer doesen't have any system restore point, so that aint an option. More about : werfault exe das_stig a b $ Windows 7 a b 8 Security 9 August 2010 22:51:00 1. Open control panel. 2. Select "System & Maintenance" 3. Select "Administrative Tools" 4. Select "Services" 5. Right-Click "Windows Error Reporting Service" 6. Select "Properties" 7. In the "Service Status" Section Click [Stop] 8. Set "Startup type:" to "Manual" or if this is started by another application select "Disabled" 9. Save and close the dialog boxes. If that fails, try installing app over the existing installation to fix corrupt files, while retaining settings. m 1 l Phorze 9 August 2010 23:14:36 Tryed that, some programs worked but ironically WerFault.exe still appeared on 1-4 programs with the same warning during start up, how is that possible since it is disabled? Not sure if application reinstall would help, since it appears to generaate errors randomly, it started after a spyware attack. m 0 l Related resources WerFault.exe why ??? - Forum Werfault.exe causing constant loss of focus [Windows 10] - Forum "werfault.exe" Keeps running when i try to load things - Forum Werfault.exe - Application error - Forum I need help with WerFault.exe error - Forum Can't find your answer ?

Two days ago I was called in because the computer was operating slowly. Taking a look, there were dozens of dllhost.exe processes running, taking up memory space largely in the 30MB to 250MB range. I ran normal cleanup tools up to and including tdsskiller (which cured two Win32.patched.pj trojans infecting google chrome werfault.exe c:\Windows\system32\rpcss.dll - identified as "DcomLaunch" and "RpcSs" services), rkill, JRT, adwcleaner, and combofix. Following that, I allowed the onboard A/V and anti-malware (Vipre Business and MalwareBytes) to run manual scans, along with SuperAntiSpyware portable. The tdss-detected trojans remained gone and the dllhost.exe processes never returned, and things seemed OK. Yesterday, however, users reported "Chrome Errors" popping up on-screen where it would crash. Chrome is installed on the PC, but it was not in use, and I was instead seeing dozes of "browser.exe" processes running, and also "werfault.exe"s as the errors built up. The browser.exe processes are task-killable, but pop up shortly afterward. I traced them to some folders in the user's LocalLow directory (CottonVisual, ReceiverRadio, ReceiverSync) that are recreated even if deleted. This seems to be a pretty recent type of infection, which nothing has caught up to yet. Will appreciate any and all advice. ----------------------------------------------- I can't install the version of MalwareBytes you mention, because MB has already been on and installed for years. There is a monitoring and maintenance software package on these computers that include MB 1.65.1.1000 I can paste the log from the manual s
