I CANNOT OPEN REGEDIT, OR RUN MSCONFIG FROM THE RUN COMMAND. I SUSPECT A VIRUS, BUT EVERY SCAN PROOF NEGATIVE.
PLEASE HELP.
VIRUSSES WERE FOUND BUT WAS DELETED.
Follow the instructions on the page in my signature, instead of a full system scan under windows do a boottime scan. Let us know if that solved it or not.
Or you can login as ADMINISTRATOR, and use the policy editer to restore the user/group rights to use regedit and remove the infection while logged in as administrator.
This is the same behaviour that is caused by some malware. This same malware disables av scanners, so it looks clean, but the system is not.
Hello,
If you are not able to open regedit.exe, try renaming regedit.exe to regedit.bat and then open it.
In order to view and change the extensions, the “Hide extensions for known file types” options should be disabled in explorer.
Also, if you are unable to open taskmanager, try googling for Nirsoft’s cprocess utility. This is better than taskmanager, since it gets a better handle over the processes than the taskmanager does. This tool will show you all the processes running and just kill the malicious one. You’ll be able to identify the malicious easily.
Thanks
Raven
boot in safe mode.
run regedit and go to HKLM.Software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run key and look for bsplayer
If it is there delete the entry.
Also look in the run once key
exit regedit search for bsplayer and delete from your harddrive.
