    Are you referring to the BITS entry shown in the Services console ?
    The BITS setting in the registry ?
    Which edition of Windows is this ?
    From *where* did you obtain that path ?

    By providing pertinent information in your post someone *may* be able to
    assist you.

    The above needs to read

    %SystemRoot%

    the f that replaced the S was done by the malware.

  3. You have much more work to do!

    NB: If you had no anti-virus application installed or the subscription had
    expired *when the machine first got infected* and/or your subscription has
    since expired and/or the machine's not been kept fully-patched at Windows
    Update, don't waste your time with any of the below: Format & reinstall
    Windows. A Repair Install will NOT help!

    Microsoft PCSafety provides home users (only) with no-charge support in
    dealing with malware infections such as viruses, spyware (including unwanted
    software), and adware.


    Otherwise...

    1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:


    NB: Run the FULL scan, not the QUICK scan! You may need to download the
    MSRT on a non-infected machine, then transfer MRT.EXE to the infected
    machine and rename it to SCAN.EXE before running it.

    2a. WinXP => Run the Windows Live Safety Center's 'Protection' scan (only!)
    in Safe Mode with Networking, if need be:


    2b. Vista or Win7=> Run this scan instead:


    3. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting requested logs
    in an appropriate forum, not here.

    Checking for/Help with Hijackware:

    **Chances are you will need to seek expert assistance in

    ,
    or other appropriate forums.**

    If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
    this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
    independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
