Help me before I have aneurysm...
I am desperately trying to stop the program error winmgmt.exe popping up every 3-6- seconds, it is driving me crazy and disrupting what I am doing on the computer. Also my computer seems to think every installation pack download has corrupted files (so i can't download any registry fixing programs or many other things.)
I forgot to mention spyware destroyers never work fully on my computer, spy doctor crashes, spy bot detects only a few of the known spyware files,no adware doesn't work, interrogator doesn't work, the one suggested earlier says the installation pack is corrupted.
How can I stop Winmgmt.exe popping up, it says 'Winmgmt.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.'
Please help me before I lose my sanity with this blasted machine.

If so check out the penultimate post on this thread thread relating to a (now deleted) knowledgebase article Q298130.
I posted a suggestion to you earlier, clearly that didn't work... I'd say your PC is infected with a virus that prevents the successful update or installation of virus/spyware programs simply by corrupting most downloads.
I would strongly recommend remotely scanning your PC from one of the anti-virus websites (http://housecall60.trendmicro.com/en/start_corp.asp). These will be up-to-date and not effected by what is already on your system.
Do the same again with this online spyware remover:

Make sure you run each scan at least twice... once after a reboot.
