The other day while installing a program, I received this
error code: “An error has occurred during initialization. If this problem continues, please contact your
system administrator: error code: 0x80073b01”. I looked around to see if I could find my
system administrator. Hello, I am the
system administrator! Now what?
I had to figure out what the problem was. I copied and pasted the error code in my Google
search box to see what came up. The
first hit was from Microsoft. It said that, “Your PC is possibly infected with the newest variant of Sirefef AKA
Zero Access. One of the symptoms is that
downloads are (falsely) identified as being a virus...and it will frequently
disable and prevent the installation of various antimalware programs.”
Once I knew what the problem was, I was able to deal with
it. I ran a scan with my MalwareBytes
program and was able to remove the virus.
It is important to be as specific as possible while searching through Google,
otherwise there would be plenty of worthless hits which would only add to the
confusion.
