I agree with Rien.

Prevx will not remove (without paying, at least), but it does identify the affected file and you can remove it by a) uninstalling any recent app which will be the cuplrit of the malware, b) deleting the associated registry entry, and c) rebooting into safe mode to delete the affected dll file.

E-FAILURE CManager::BeginProcessing in the ComponentManager component encountered a catastrophic error that it could not recover from.

Sophos happily updated and initialised again after the SP2 reinstall.
