BSOD 0x0000008E when attempting to install IE7, WMP11, or KB922582 (minidump included)

0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0xEEA4280E, 0xEC5FCA20, 0x00000000)

This computer initially had a pretty bad malware infection that has been cleaned.  But now there is an issue with installing updates via Windows update.  The 3 updates in the Subject of the thread are the only ones I can't get to install.  Actually now its just IE7 and WMP11.  I was able to get the KB922582 update to install by extracting it another another computer and running the update.exe manually.

Here's the Minidump with  !analyze -v

I really don't know much about debugging this so if anyone can offer some assistance I'd be grateful.  My only other resort at this point I believe is fresh install, from what I've been reading a repair install won't do the trick.

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: eea4180e, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: ebdf7a20, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.
2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".
3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local system account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.
5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic". Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.
6. Repeat the above steps with the other service: Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)


================================ NEXT ================================


Re-register Windows Update components and Clear the corrupted Windows Update temp folder


1. Click on Start and then click Run,
2. In the open field type "REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL" (without quotation marks) and press Enter.
3. When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded" message, click OK.

Since temporary folder of Windows Update may be corrupted. We can refer to the following steps to rename this folder

1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.

net stop WuAuServ

2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.
3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to SDold.
4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.

net start WuAuServ
 
If having a problem with renaming the file named SofwareDistribution -
'Error Renaming File or Folder , Cannot rename SofwareDistribution: Acces is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that it is not curently in use'

When you're modifying the properties of the Automatic Updates (aka wuauserv) service, change the startup type from 'Automatic' to 'Manual.' Then reboot. The effect is that the service doesn't start at all on bootup, so there's no need for the net stop command. After all is said and done, recommend changing the startup type for that service back to 'Automatic.'.

Cheers,

Hi,

The problem maybe related to Windows AutoUpdate. Disable Windows AutoUpdate may resolve the blue screen problem. Refer the following case

Thanks for the suggestions.  I've tried these to no avail.   And yes there is no BSOD unless I try to install the updates.  Doesn't matter if I use Windows Update or try to install the updates locally.  Also doesn't seem to matter if they AutoUpdate is on or off.

Refer the last comment of https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22069100/BSOD.html.  Maybe your windows is infected with spyware or virus.

The last comment that redirects to Google groups?

Yes, I actually found that thread before I posted.  This computer has been thouroghly cleaned of Malware including the steps taken in that post and more.  Its been scanned with and for everything under the sun, including rootkits.  I'm 99% sure that the Malware is off.  I think the registry hive is corrupted.  I found another post about repairing the hive, but I'm hesitant to do that.  Although, it will be getting a format and reinstall if I don't get this sorted.  I suppose then I'll that as a last ditch effort.

Thanks for your responses.
If the registry is corrupted, the stack trace will have the footprint of reading the software hive (for example nt!HvpGetCellMapped+d0 ).  For your case, I can't find any footprint relating to reading or writing registry.
Refer the following case and it is infected with virus. The stack trace of this problem matches your problem.

From the suggestion by cpc2004, here is your HijackThis log analysis >
http://www.hijackthis.de/logfiles/767af20510c9e84f03cc05edac8dc664.html

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\HijackThis\search.exe

Some information below on this 'Nasty' entry, which you could 'Fix'.   You could also see if you recognise any of the 'Unknown' entries using this same "liutilities" link, and fix them if you don't.  
Just in case you haven't used HJT before, the technique is to create a folder where you would like the HijackThis file to reside, and run it from there, not from the Desktop or a temp folder. It is important that you download this file to its own folder as this folder will be used when HijackThis makes backups. Temp folders get deleted, taking with them HJT's 'backups' of items that were 'fixed'.

Actually search.exe IS HJT renamed, so that some variants of malware can't hide from it.

I'm pretty familiar with HJT, and have parsed the logfile and gone over it a dozen times.  I can't find anything that is suspect.  I've scanned with everything I can think of.  Although, I just did a scan Panda Active scan an it did find a spyware variant that the others missed.

I removed the other spyware variant, found by Panda Scan, it was just a remnant .dat file.  

I did just find a bunch of strange folders under the roots of the C:\ drive.  Like "ca40a3b1422e3eee8e70fd" there was about half a dozen of them with different alpha numeric strings.  They appear to be temp directories from failed IE7 installations.  I was able to just manually delete all but two of them.  The others I'm working on now.  The files inside these are deleting EXTREMELY slow, and some have ownership that won't allow deletion, like the "Update" folder in each of these.  Taking ownership, seems to work, but like I said its just deleting one file at a time very slowly.  Weird.  

Well I managed to delete all those, and tried the IE7 installation again.  Same issue.  BSOD!!!  This is really annoying.  ;(

Those folders are definately temp folders for IE7 installation.  Its the extraction location.  The BSOD comes after the validation, and update portion of the installation, then it starts the Malicious software removal tool and towards the end of it, or when it switchs to the next step is crashes.

With WMP11, it validates, you accept the EULA, then click next and crash.
Thanks for the report.   Maybe this previous thread will help in temporarily removing IE 7.   Look for the various comments by Merete:

Yes I've scanned with Ewido in Safe mode, i've done Kapersky online, Trend Micro online, Bitdefender online, Panda Active Scan, AVG, Spybot, Adaware, Look2MeDestrorer, Vundofix, Blacklight,  and probably a few I'm forgetting.

If anyone is still thinking its malware related, I'm not arguing, but I'd need a suggestion on how to approach it.  I bought another day from the End User, but this is getting formatted tomorrow if I don't come up with a solution tonight.

FYI, the problem is not with removing IE7 its with installing it.  
Can you attach the minidump at webspace. I want to analyse your minidump to find out the root cause of the problem. There have several open cases for similar problem at any other forums.

 
Unistall Windows patch KB922582 and reinstall in safe mode.

Quote cpc2004 "Can you attach the minidump at webspace."  

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this.  This for the explanation.
Upload the minidumps at webspace. If you don't have your webspace and you can get a public webspace.  For example http://www.rapidshare.de/ is a public webspace.  After you upload the mimidump, post the url link of the minidump here. You can delete the upload dump files at any time.
Probably your windows auto update module is screwed up. Someone at another forum uninstall KB922582  and re-install it at safe mode. Then the problem is resolved.

Uninstalling and reinstalling in safe mode did not work.  BSOD when attempting to reinstall.  The only way I was able to install KB922592 was to extract it using another computer then install it from the Update.exe manually.  It seems to crash on the extraction process on this update.  Also I suppose of note.  Its very strange.  When I attempted to redownload the this update from the Administrative section of Windows update, the download just hangs and wont come down on the problem computer.  The PopUp comes up but it just hangs.  So I downloaded it from another computer.

I have to run out for a bit, but when I get back the system is getting formatted.  :(
Before you actually format you could take a quick look at this next thread.  You may decide it's worth re-registering the files as shown.  If no good there's nothing lost ...

Thanks to all of you that provided assistance.

Jonvee, I really appreciate the Chsdsk /r suggestion.  I had run a memory check, and Drive Fitness Test, but I hadn't done the chkdsk, which was the correct solution.

cpc2004, thank you for looking over my minidumps, and helping me out.

Again, Experts-Exchange has come through for me!!!

Glad you were able to avoid that format  ...  and thank you!
