Can't Find Run On My Start Menu Again
« on: May 18, 2007, 01:10 AM »

Please i need help from you guys Shocked Shocked Shocked , i can't find my the run on my start menu again , and there's something else too, whenever i check my system information, there always the image of a rose flower(indicating manufactured by my [/colo[color=#990000]r]rose) that displays alongside the information, it looks weird to me Undecided Undecided Lips sealed.

This is being displayed as the support infomation: Sad

Mohon maaf jika sedikit menggangu !!
'Rose' Ada di sini bukan untuk merusak !!
'Rose' Ada karena 'Cinta'.
Sedikit Pesan :
'Jika ingin dicinta, mencintalah
dan jadilah orang yang pantas dicinta'
=======================================
              #OrangeBlue#     

Whenever i connect my system to the network, it affects other systems on the network so i always have to unplug my system to enable other systems to browse very well. Huh Undecided

Please any help that'll work will be appreciated. Cool

Thanks.
God Bless. Grin

Your system has been infected with a virus (though I've forgotten it's name) and it disables the "run" and as well as the "Task manager" on your PC, it also attacks some registry files too. You can confirm this by trying to open the task manager with the Alt + Ctrl + Delete, it'll inform you that "the task manager has been disabled.
So what I'll just advise you is to get a powerful Antivirus like Symantec or Kaspersky installed on your Pc and as well make sure you update it.

Hi,

Am sure that is a virus. Once had it here on my network. Can't remember the exact way it was resolved. but i remembered asking google. I actually got the solution from google.

The virus disables some things from your registry and you might need to cancel them.

good luck.

You can get a good antivirus to scan the system, but the system will not be in its best performance again. The best solution is to format your HDD

Its probably a variation of d brontok virus,  Search on d net for a program called a brontok washer, run it, it clears the virus then run avg antivirus,  You should be okay after that

Quite a problem. But,

Assuming you are on Windows XP, what you need to do is to install a third party system utility that will give you access to the Run Window. You can try HijackThis from TrendSecure. The direct dl link is:

http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HiJackThis_v2.exe

Its a pretty small file (about 1.3mb), so it shouldn't take long to download. Run the program by double-clicking its icon. You'll need to accept the license agreement before you can begin to use it. On the Main Menu of the program, click the "Open the Misc Tools section" button. This will allow you to choose from a number of system utilities including the Process Manager (Basically the Windows Task Manager). You will also notice the "Run, " button. Click it to activate the Run Window.

Now, to add the "Run, " command to the Start Menu, type the following line into the Run Window (I suggest you copy and paste it):

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoRun /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

You'll need to log off and relogin to your PC. This should bring back the Run Window.

Backup your data then format and reinstall a new OS or simply format without backing-up before the re-installation.

That's if the files are very important to you. When backing up use a Cd burner like Nero or Roxio and make sure you don't copy a folder to the burner. You must copy only files to the burner one after the other or else if there is any virus you might just pick that up too. Your OS should allow you to view file extensions just in case a virus tries to play pranks with you.
This should work without having to backup a virus along with your files. But if the virus had already infected any one of your files then you're in trouble. Backup will not help in that case because you'll definitely backup a virus too.

So, looking at this critically, you might as well format without backing-up.
