[Infected Win 7 through showmypc attack]

A week ago I installed Windows 7 and a day later downloaded Office 2013, after establishing a Microsoft account. The following day I received a call alleging to be Microsoft engineers stating they noticed significant infections on my desktop PC. They used showmypc to lead me around my computer and show me alleged virus evidence. I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent and pretty familiar with PCs, but the timing was right for the perps and I'm embarrased to say I fell hook, line and almost sinker. When the dust settled and I stopped just short of commiting my credit card for a $180 "license renewal", I disconnected from the call and tried to remove/uninstall showmypc. Unable to do this, I eventuially attempted a clean install with the Windows 7 disk. It allowed me to remove the existing two partitions and install Windows 7 on a new single partition. When the splash screen appeared, there was a small white icon in the lower left that was obviously not Microsoft generated, containing 4 or 5 "fishy" applet links and a very poor computerized voice describing them. I tried installing drivers from my Msi driver disk, which worked perfectly the first time, but this time got a error box stating the files couldn't be found. Rebooted the Win 7 disk and tried the repair option only to receive a message stating the repairs couldn't be accomplished. Used Trend Micro Titanium Anti-Virus and Windows Security Essentials but they found no virus or spyware. Thinking there might be a bug in the boot sector or MBR, launched bootrec.exe and tried to use FixMbr and FixBoot, but neither one was allowed to function.There are sites that chronicle similar incidences dating back a couple years, but nothing that I could find with a solution to my particular problem. Would appreciate any incite and suggestion that anyone might be able to provide. By the way, on a normal install of Windows 7, is there more than one partition created?

Thanks.

wow

I remember when someone tried the same with me

they called prending to be from microsoft, this is what was said

Him

- you have a virus on your computer, i am connected to your PC and can see it

Me

- hi can you tell me what my IP address is ?

Him

- no

Me

- well how do you even know if i have a PC, i didnt say i had one and im not going to tell you if i have, your not geniune as you should know you need to know my IP address in order to see whats on my computer ( if i had one )

anyway the moral of the story was, from the start i already knew he was fake, i was playign with his head, i put the phone down on him 5 minutes later lol

[Install Windows 7 via USB]

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/windows-7-iso-x17-59465-vs-x17-24395/351e09ff-2cf8-4477-a43a-44f6c90c8ddc

http://www.tweakscene.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5564

X17-24395 = x64 Ultimate SP1

X17-59465 = x64 Ultimate SP1u (aka "Refresh")

Either one will be fine as a "latest", but...

BTW, all of these will not Activate without a real key. I assume you're aware of this since you said "test"?

And you're clarity is still lacking, so have fun testing on "different hardware" (i.e. "problem NOT solved").

yes the problem is solved the error occured due to the mass storage driverpacks

and yes i am aware that a "legit" key is needed to activate windows, which is why i cant keep using my current laptop for virtualizations of x64 systems

i always use test media before i put it on a live system but in this case i had no choice i needed to use my laptop from fresh install

im ordering a laptop with vt-x & vt-d support, my processor does not support either

[Install Windows 7 via USB]

1 - What is the SOURCE Windows 7 - is it RTM or SP1? (READ THAT LINK I GAVE!)

2 - Is there a point to integrating AMDFilter to an All Intel-based Install (laptop)?

http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/windows/7/x64/amdfilter/11.10

3 - The tool you used to Integrate is fine - it's used by many members here.

when i tried the same but using a DVDROM using same files transferred from usb it worked fine

This makes no sense - a CLEAN DVD or the "Integrated" DVD?

i ended up downloading downloading http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24395.iso

i have not integrated all hotfixes and security updates, i decided not to integrate driverpacks at the moment, just awaiting my 32Gb USB Flash Drive USB 3.0

and will be getting a laptop which has VT support as my current processor does not support VT as i want to test builds on VMWARE workstation for x64 bit

[Install Windows 7 via USB]

"I'm not able to" - but you just DID give some details about (at least) the Laptop!

The Hard Drive in it is a 320gb SATA-II. You are having a SATA problem.

See if this helps any whatsoever.

http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/28584-Windows-setup-could-not-configure-windows-to-run-on-this-computer-s-hardware

And the TOOL you used is here -

http://www.wintobootic.com/

It apparently worked the first time and not this time? Is it the SAME TOOL used the first time?

Try another tool, like WinSetupFromUSB.

http://www.winsetupfromusb.com/

How-to is here -

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/120444-how-to-install-windows-from-usb-winsetupfromusb-with-gui/

THIS tool is tried-and-true! And you get SUPPORT here!

Now, about that "custom pc". why can't you give any info on that one? Unplug it and take the case cover off.

"Custom PC" Well the only reason i cant give the info is becuase im not at the location ( custom PC is not at home ) its a PC buult by my father-in-law

we only visit every other week

the only changes i made was

Driver Integration

whats the best tool for this i used WinToolKit located here http://www.wincert.net/forum/files/file/5-win-toolkit/

is the best reliable tool for it, the only drivers i integrated was mass storage,Graphics B, AMDFilter from

http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/latest

would this of caused the error or WinToolkit method of driver integration

[Install Windows 7 via USB]

One is SATA (custom PC), the other (laptop) isn't?

Could you supply us some hardware specifics of the laptop -and- the custom one, e.g. Make/Model/Motherboards?

im not able to, but its weird

i can no longer do a USB Install on my laptop, its been working for weeks and now after first reboot "completing Setup" stage i get

"windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware"

when i tried the same but using a DVDROM using same files transferred from usb it worked fine

What utility are you using to make your USB install?

WiNToBootic

but as mentioned the install already works on my laptop i dont get the error message

"windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware"

however when i tried to install it on a computer with SATA i got the error, so i dont see the difference in what program i used.

does anyone know why this would happen and a fix for this

[RT Seven Lite Issue]

FYI. RT7Lite did not originate here nor do we have any association with the Author. We therefore can't give you any assistance with a Project not of "our own" that development has -obviously- been discontinued.

If that WIM has that in it and you didn't put it there via RT7Lite, you have a Pirated (warez) version. If not (i.e. yours is legit) then stop using RT7Lite and use this instead.

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/139077-7customizer-a-windows-7-customization-and-deployment-tool/

@WarS - did you not notice there were NO replies to the OP? Does that say anything about support -here- for that Product at all? Few or -no- Members use it because it tended to be loaded with bugs.

yes i was able to remove the relevant files using DISM GUI i mounted the install.wim and removed the relevant files affecting the login process after setup had completed

i can't remember where i downloaded RT7Lite the menu always loaded in the past but i still have no idea why it stopped or if quartz.dll in system32 & syswow64 is a legit file belonging to Microsoft

[Office 2013 silent install-warning]

if you want Office 2013 to run silent you need to do the following

setup.exe /config locationofconfig/config.xml

i run office 2013 in command prompt from sources/$oem%/apps/Office2013

and run it via install.cmd

here is my example

@echo offmode con cols=67 lines=25title Windows 7cls@echo Windows is now installing additional files...@echo.@echo.for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\sources\install.wim set CDROM=%%i:@echo Installing Microsoft Office 2013 ...Start /wait %cdrom%\sources\$oem$\apps\Office2013\setup\setup.exe /config %cdrom%\sources\$oem$\apps\Office2013\setup\config.xml

remember you need to have $$/setup/scripts/

setupcomplete.cmd with

@echo offfor %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\sources\install.wim set CDROM=%%i:Start /wait %cdrom%\sources\$oem$\install.cmd

i have tested this with all of office 2013 updates included and it works 100%

place the config.xml in the /setup/ folder and /ProPlus.WW/ folder

you must run the command as shown above

[Installing Updates on First Run]

There are certain updates that cannot be installed on an offline image and must instead be installed at RunOnce, ie on a live system. I would advise not using RT7Lite anymore, since it hasn't been updated in several years, and instead use a more up to date tool like Win Toolkit, which knows about such things and will put those updates where they will be automatically installed correctly for you.

Cheers and Regards

thx I've downloaded Win Toolkit and will give it a go today
