Cannot start ICS/Network sharing after malware attack
 |
My son's computer had a good sized spyware attack, thanks to his Limewire use (now cutoff). I was able to clean it up using Malware Bytes AntiMalware, but now it will not start the Internet Connection Sharing service. I get an error that says "cannot find specified file" when trying to start the ICS service. This computer uses a wireless card to get online, so it will not get online without this service.
I have not found any solutions on MS Knowledge base that are pertinent.
Anyone have a solution for this? I do NOT have an XP disk to reload from.

If not then Pirating a identical OS copy isn't illegal. As long as you own the equivilent OS you can download it and burn it to a rom and then use it to repair your current OS.

What scan did you do using MAlwarebytes' ?? and do u remember what kind of infection was found??
DO the foll :
Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and run a full system scan, In the normal mode and not safe mode...remove all infections and save the logfile...Reboot...

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services look for a service called DHCP Client. If it is turned off then you need to try and turn it on.If it is what I think it is it will tell you that it is missing a dependant server( or something) Error 1075. My case is similar, I got a virus from a P2P program and I managed to wipe it with mbam but now the DHCP Client is not working. I am still looking for a resolution. Will keep you posted.
