Hello,
Have XP Home Edition,Service Pack 3..I can only use safe mode to a limited

0x80000003..ISP told me I have spyware and malware..Any fix here short of
using the Restore disk
by wiping out the hard drive...Thanks,Nick

MSASCui,exe is a Windows Defender program, but the issue could also be
malicious software.

The manifest file may not be there, but do you have Windows Defender
installed? If yes, it may be broken or it has been attacked.

If you are using WD, uninstall it using Add/Remove programs, reboot,
immediately download MBAM and SAS as indicated below, when they run
clean reinstall Windows Defender from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

They can be uninstalled later if desired.

Download this Avira Antivir Rescue System program which will burn a CD
image to a blank CD. It's updated a few times per day. Insert the CD
into the damaged machine and let it do a scan of your system. Before
starting the scan, select "Configuration" and set to repair or rename
the infected files. Sometimes your machine won't restart after such a
repair process, so you might want to save needed files to another system
before using this. If you can't, then you can move the hard drive to
another machine to copy needed files. You can do that before, or after
this scan.

http://www.free-av.com/en/tools/12/avira_antivir_rescue_system.html

Then run these:

Malwarebytes© Corporation
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam/program/mbam-setup.exe

SuperAntispyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html

You can try some of the CD's mentioned at the following site.
BitDefender was my favorite, but if the infected machine can't connect
to the internet to get updates, Avira comes with current virus
definitions. Also, some of these just won't run on some systems,
perhaps because there's no drivers available for some system devices,
motherboard, graphics card, etc. So try a few of these till you find
one that works:

Burn BitDefender, or another program listed at the link below, to a CD
(using a working machine) and test the infected machine with it.
BitDefender also has a Rootkit checker on the Linux Desktop; run it if
you think that's the problem:

http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootable-antivirus-rescue-cds-download-list/

Download the executable rather than the .iso image, if one is available,
(though no .exe is available for BitDefender).

After the scan is run, if you elect to quarantine files, they're
quarantined to RAM and lost after you reboot. You'll need to copy any
quarantined files to the hard drive, a thumb drive or elsewhere before
exiting.

The error message 0x80000003 means something failed to initialize properly.
If you'll do a search for the number on Google you'll get many pages of
hits; one of them is bound to help you out; just sift thru them & adjust
search terms as needed to minimize the number of hits.

I used website
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?&prid=7552&st=1 and MS took

When I went here MS said my time has expired and to contact my support
engineer and who is that supposed to be..The expired time they wrote about
