When I try to open regedit from "Run" it opens and then
closes down in less than a second. In safe mode it works
allright. The same thing happens with "Taskmanager" and
every time I try to open it I get a green square in the
system tray. I have tried several times to install Norton
System Works 2003 (which has worked fine before) and even
though I get the message "Installation completed
sucessfully" I cannot launch Norton. Nothing happens when
I click the icon. Can these problems be related?
Thanks in advance
 
Thanks for your help. I found several instances
of "W32.Randex.gen" plus "Java_Nocheat.a"
and "Bkdr.Sdbot.ka". It took some time to get them all
deleted, I could not install NAV with the viruses present,
but Norton is now installed, updated and has scanned and
cleaned my computer. Regedit and Taskmanager work again.
Strangely enough when opening this forum I got a virus
alert that the same old "W32.Randex.gen" had been
discovered and automatically deleted. NAV seems to be
doing its job.
 
Glad to hear it. :-)

Make sure you keep it updated, and make sure you're using a firewall - also,
the rest may go without saying, but run Windows Update regularly - also may
want to check out AdAware (www.lavasoft.de) to scan & clean
malware/spyware/scumware off your PC. Make sure to update it before running
a scan.
