i twas hit by a virus, and the run command wasnt working, the task manager had been disabled too...

i use trend micro pc cillin, updated it.. ran a scan, but the problem persists.. i'm worried that the virus is not letting my antivirus software upgrade itself. what can i do?

kindly help

Wow, cool. Explaination on the problem and recification process was very neat and is easliy understandable to a non computer professional too.

Thanks a lot. Actually my comp was infected with a virus.

i think i've been hit by a virus..
my task manager has been disabled and the run command is missing in the start menu.. this months news letter was useful.. but the solution given worked only momentarily.. in no time the run command and the task manger were disabled... i think its a virus.. i use trend micro's pc cillin 2006 which has been updated two days back.. but it failed to detect viruses... is the virus preventing the update?? cant find any other reason.. what should i now do?

To get to run without it in your menu, use the "Windows" key + R simultaneously!

Ok i'm going through all the steps but now i can't get access to the regedit32, it's telling me access denied, how can i bypass this is there somewhere that i should go

I cant enable my run command. i tried to open the run command in start menu but it is missing then i also tried to open the c:\windows\system32 but the the message appear like this: access denied c:\windows\system32 was disallowed.pls help me tnx

Go here and see the post from Hunter on how to re-enable regedit. Once you're done you should be able to follow the rest of the instructions here.

Good luck :-)
