From: LIZ on
I have XP Professional and got some sort of virus or? I get a error message
that states "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You
may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". I can not open
or start any programs and only get this message. I can run programs in safe
mode but can not update windows as I get the error code 0x8007043C. I do not
know what to do and have run a number of things to try and fix it including
hijackthis. The logfile is included.

This is by far what I found questionable and with regards to Windows Update
concerns you
have it would be or a possible secondary issue.

As an option you can avail of a direct free support from Microsoft (
US/CANADA )
( 866 727 2338 ) Toll Free and Free Support

Please don NOT post HJT logs here. We do not accept them!
Kayman was kind enough to post those places that do accept them and will provide their
