Hello,
to all of you,
I have a HP Laptop which is running Windows 7 Home Premium Genuine Version, yesterday I opened a file from pendrive, I think it contains the virus after that when I restart my laptop firstly I got an error message for different applications stating "The application was unable to start correctly (0x00000142).Click OK to close the application" I got this error even for cmd.exe and sfc.exe, after this error, multliple more than thousand instances of werfault.exe starts and consumes more than 99% memory which lets the laptop useless, I start the laptop in safe mode and tried malware scanning but problem still persists, after that I deleled the file werfault.exe from syswow64 and system32 folder, after I am able to start the laptop in normal mode and but now I am getting a message that "You may be a victim of software counterfeiting", and my windows version is not genuine, also on the desktop a message is written that "this version of Windows 7 is not genuine".Many of the settings of Windows has been changed.Now, I am totally clueless what to do? Please advise.Hope to see reply soon.Thank You.
