Everytime I start up my computer an error message comes up saying that "Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with. Please uninstall then rerun setup to correct this problem"
My computer has also been running slower and my wireless internet connection says that the signal strength is very low. I didnt know if these things were related. Does anyone know what i need to do to correct the error message and other computer problems?
I tried restoring my computer settings to a previous date but it said my computer could not be restored. THanks for the help!!

If your having a problem getting the
1.99.1 version to run properly on your system, try downloading and running the previous version;
HiJackThis 1.98.2.
Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
Scan saved at 9:15:30 PM, on 2/22/2005
Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)
There nothing really major that I can see from the log. There are a few item(s) that you might consider uninstalling and removing, but i'll leave those upto you - some of them, like Viewpoint Manager require alot of system resources.

Let's see if the next scan can locate something that we couldn't see with HiJackThis.
It'll take a few minutes to download (especially with a dialup connection), so be patient. When it's down:
1. Select all available drives. 2. Check(tick) "Auto Clean". 3. Click "Scan".
When it completes, post back the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted.
Go to
Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:
Viewpoint Manager Web Related WildTangent
The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.
Before we begin, let's move
HiJackThis to it's own folder; like
c:\HJT. When we're done '
cleaning' off your system, we're going to '
flush' the temporary folders which, with
HiJackThisin it's current location, we'll lose both the program and the backups it creates. These backups are important in case we need to restore any 'fixed' entry(s) later.
Also move the "Backups" folder, for HiJackThis, if present.
Run
HiJackThis and click "
Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file) O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)
O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm (file missing) O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm (file missing)
Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".
Locate and
delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:
folders...
C:\Program Files\WildTangent
-
Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them from "Safe Mode".
1. Double-click the mwav.exe icon to run it (it'll self extract). 2. Click "Scan". 3. When it completes, post back the results from the 'Virus log information' pane.
Post back a new log, and let me know how everything goes.
I did both of the scans and deleted the info that was present, but i dont know how to paste the results of the scans because i can't right click on the viruses that came up.
Could you let me know what to do about posting the results? THanks
Just use the mouse and drag-select all the text in the virus log information pane, then either right-click on the text and select "copy", or press "CTRL-C", then paste the text back to this post.

I am not ignoring your post. I need to speak to Mike on this one.
