Something nasty has stolen my administrator rights ...

[neutronflow]

Hi there

Background;  I noticed this problem when i tried to update Wintv. In order to renew software and drivers they must first be removed, but when i tried to re-install i found i no longer have administrator rights.

Tried again, then says hardware not present, even though it is and shows up in device manager.

Tried to system restore, took forever then failed.
Avast and Mbam found nothing.
Avast boot-time scan failed to run.
SAS (which is 111 days old and i can't update, even manually- it says SAS not installed!) showed Gen nullo (short) in one system restore file.
Kaspsersky online scan won't run.
Tdsskiller won't install.
Various other efforts have failed to help.

Ok. That's just about where i'm at on arrival here. Having followed essexboy's instructions, attached are the AdwCleaner, MBAM, OTL and aswMBR logs.

Hoping someone has the time and inclination to help with this.

Cheers.

Ok Mr essexboy. Here are the OTL logs. The first one popped up when i opened OTL so i thought i'd better send that too.

I still don't have admin rights and the SAS issue still remains 

[essexboy]

Are you able to select a restore point prior to the update of Wintv

[neutronflow]

That was the first thing i tried but unfortunately no. I attempted several all the way back to my earliest which was in May. None were successful.

[essexboy]

Download  Windows Repair (all in one)  from this site

Install the programme then run



Go to step 3 and allow it to run SFC



On the start repairs tab click start


Select the following  items and tick restart system when finished.  Include the top two permission options as well 

[neutronflow]

Crikey! Didn't expect you back so late. Thanks very much!

Ok, I'm on it ... I'll post back asap tonight 

[neutronflow]

Done that.

Tried again with Wintv. Still no admin rights 

Btw, your help is very much appreciated 

[essexboy]

So it is just WinTV that you are having the problems with .. Is that correct ?
