| 363548 | 2005-06-13 10:26:00 | Hi, It sounds like you may need to update your anti virus software's definition list. But before doing that you can do some manual repairs to enable you the opportunity to be able to successfully access the updates for your antivirus software. Do the following: Click START, select Run, type REGEDIT, and click OK This will open the Registry Editor window Clicking the + signs in left panel of Registry Editor to expand the branches navigate you way to this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run With the Run folder in left pane high lighted, look now inside the right pane for the following value: MsConfigs = MsConfigs.exe If you see it, right click on it and select Delete Now in left hand pane navigate to each of the following keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Lsa HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunServices HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Lsa In each case look in the right pane for the following value: p2pnetwork = p2pnetwork.exe If present, right click on it and select Delete Press F5 key to save changes, then Close Registry Editor window. Reboot your computer Go online and check for latest antivirus updates for what ever antivirus programme you use. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode Note: The default way to do this for all pc's is to hold down the F5 key as soon as PC starts to reboot, and keep holding it down until a list appears that gives you the opportunity to boot into Safe Mode. In many cases holding the F8 key will also achieve the same. Execute you antivirus programme and run a full system scan Allow the software to delete any malicious, or infected file found. You now ought to be able to reboot your pc virus free. Regards, Timothy |
