At 08:28:56 this morning pagefile.sys was initiated after power-up.
At 08:29:59 I logged on.
At 08:29:52 C:\WINDOWS\system32\CatRoot2\dberr.txt started posting :-

There were another 4 lines starting at 10:05:33, and I expect more at 1 hour 28 second intervals.
My system has been like this every day since 01/08/2009
What is going wrong ?
Is this an error I need to fix ?
How can I fix or suppress this ?
What is this "File #2" with an error at line #1236 ?
Could it be oem43.CAT (which does not exist) or KB972260-IE7.cat
which has copies in C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB972260-IE7\update and
C:\WINDOWS\system32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE} ?
The transition from normal to bad is :-

I thought at first the KB972260-IE7.cat was an Active'X kill-bits patch,
and it was not only in-effective in its stated purpose but had actually done damage.
I have a fear this error is related to Security Patches, and any future patches may fail to take effect or otherwise suffer.
On 06/08/2009 I noticed several Application event errors upon 01/08/2009 16:49:12
and started a thread as a result and am awaiting a response at
http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=23462
I hoped those errors were a consequence of something going wrong with the hotfix,
and hoped that no further errors indicated that "autorecovery" had then automatically cured the problem.
I should have known that would be to good to be true.
I now realise that there were many reboots between 10:53:07 31/07/2009 and 21:43:00 01/08/2009,
and assume that if the patch did damage it should have been autorecovered on the first reboot.
The other thing which happened before 21:43:00 01/08/2009 was use of RevoUninstaller to assist with the removal of Eset Antivirus and Comodo Firewall, and to supplement with additional post-un-installation things supplied by ESET and the Comodo forum to zap any residual traces, and there was a residual Comodo registry key that took much abuse before it went. After which I installed Comodo CIS.
This incessant error in dberr.txt is the only evidence that something is amiss.
I would greatly appreciate advice.
