not a valid win32.exe

[crim]

Every time I try to download a patch or fix tool, it comes up that " c:/documents and settings ~Crim~is not a valid win32 application". I don't even know what this is. Is there a way to fix it? It's important that I download these patches. Please help.

download ad-aware and spybot. after u download both update both.

ad-aware 6.0 - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

then do a Full Scan
heres a guide on how to do a full scan:

In Ad-aware click the Gear to go to the Settings area.

The following items should be on a green check, not on a red X.

Under the Scanning button:

Scan within archives

Under Memory & Registry, Check EVERYTHING

In Check Drives & Folders, make sure all of your hard drives are selected

Under the Advanced button, check ALL under Log detail level

Under the Tweak button...

Some of these may not be an available option, depending on your version of Ad-aware and your version of Windows. Do not be concerned if you cannot select a certain item.

In Scanning Engine:

Unload recognized processes during scanning

Include info about ignored objects in logfile, if detected in scan

Include basic Ad-aware settings in logfile

Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile

Include used command line parameters in logfile

In Cleaning Engine:

XP/2000: Allow unloading explorer to unload shell extensions prior to deletion

Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot

UNCHECK: Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion


Click Proceed to save these settings. When you would like to perform a "Full Scan," switch the scan mode from SmartScan to Custom.

spybot 1.2 - http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=mirrors

Click on the search for updates button. When you do this, Spybot - S&D will connect to a master server and determine if any updates are available for your version of the software. If they are it will list the updates and give you an option to download them as is seen in Figure 3. If there are no updates, it will notify you of this and you will not have the option to download anything.

If there are updates, you should put a check mark in the boxes next to all the available updates.

Then scan.
