    Hi,

    Yesterday, out of the blue I got the above error message when I booted my laptop. I tried using system restore to restore my laptop to a week back and everything was working again. Today, I again got the same error message and now the earlier restore point is not available. Now, I am able to use my internet explorer to browse to all non-microsoft and non-anti virus related pages. Weird. I am browsing this forum using my other PC. I am not able to understand this problem. After looking at a few forums, I used the wga diagnostic tool. The results are as follows:

    Hi K Dinesh,

     
    The core of your issue centers on the line in your Diagnostic Report that reads:

    File Scan Data-->
    File Mismatch: C:\Windows\system32\Slsvc.exe[6.0.6000.16509]
    File Mismatch: C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll[6.0.6000.16509]

     

    This means the file has been Tampered, Modified or has become Corrupt. Vista see this as an attack to bypass it's Licensing security.

    To resolve the issue, you need to either repair or replace the file with a known-good one (of the proper file version)

     

    First try repairing Windows using System Restore:

    1)    Reboot Vista into Safe Mode
    2)    Go to Control Panel
    3)    On the left hand side of the Control Panel window, Click on "Classic View"
    4)    Double-click "Backup and Restore Center"
    5)    On the left hand side of the window, click "Repair Windows using system restore"
    6)    Select "Choose Different Restore Point", Put a check in the box that says "Show restore points older than 5 days", select the restore point that corresponds to the date Before you first noticed the issue.
    7)    Click the "Next" button.
    8)    Reboot back into Normal mode
    9)    Vista should no longer be in Reduced Functionality mode

     

    If that doesn't work, try doing a System Scan. The scan will look for bad Vista files and will attempt to repair them, if possible.
    1)    Login to Vista in Normal Mode (not safe mode)
    2)    Launch an Internet Browser
    3)    Type: %windir%\system32\ in the browser's address field
    4)    Scroll down till you find the file cmd.exe
    5)    Right-click the file and select 'Run as Administrator'
    6)    In the CMD window, type: sfc /scannow
    7)    Reboot twice and see if that resolves the issue.

    Because one of the files is kernel32.dll (basically the heart of Windows) If neither of these sets of steps resolves the issue, my only other suggestions would be to reinstall Vista.  You may also try contacting Vista support and see if they have other alternatives.

     

    If you find that you have to reinstall, first you will want to backup all your importent files off the computer. This can be difficult to do when Vista is in Reduced Functionality Mode.  It is easier if you login to Vista in Safe Mode, you should be able to freely navigate to your files in that mode.

    Thank you,
    Darin MS

    oh, in addition, that fact that you are not able to browse to Anti-Virus related websites is a big indicator that you may have a Conflicker worm infection.
