Hi guys,so i have recently received my custom build PC installed with win7 64 bit,(Pirated version,OEM),after bunch of updates second day of having PC i got this error , which makes almost all apps useless, they just don't start , i searched the internet for this error and found post which describes my and not only my problem exactly.The way i solved the problem was to manually uninstall recent windows updates from control panel ,which were basically security updates for windows based systems and Net framework 3.5 ,just like the ones described in the post.

What i want to know is if my system is really infected by virus or malware and what can i do to prevent such problem in future,caz new updates for windows still pop out and i know the one which makes this erro is there.

This post describes exactly what problem i'm having http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/the-application-is-unable-to-start-correctly/bbb9c037-77b3-4fae-93b9-ded70f7f9a17

Thanks in advance

EDIT: i did not use the method this guy offered :

"You have hacked or infected files on your computer.

Check your BCD and do the below fix if necessary (at your own risk)

In Windows open CMD as Administrator and type BCDEdit and enter, if your Windows Boot Loader Path is xOsload.exe then you need to remove some files and repair your BCD.
NOTE: you will need to re-activate Windows afterwards, so make sure you have your Windows 7 key handy.
Boot to Windows Repair - Command
Del D:\Windows\System32\xOsload.exe
Del D:\Windows\System32\xNtKrnl.exe
Del D:\Windows\System32\Drivers\oem-drv64.sys
attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /rebuildbcd"

,because i don't know how to reactivate my windows i have no key ,so i just deleted updates from control panel now everything works fine ,untill i update windows again i guess (
 
Solution
Go buy Windows. No one is going to assist you with stolen software here. And whoever you bought it from, should be held accountable for putting it on your PC.
