I have run the registry repair program. It reported the repair was successful.
However regedit is still not runable unless it is renamed, and the registry entries are still locked.

651925 2008-03-23 22:48:00 Do you have a repair/setup disc.If you do it looks like you will have to do a system repair.

Have rebooted, and run Prevx again. It reports no problems. Regedit and locked reg entires problems remain.

I dont have a windows 2000 pro setup CD, could I download one from the web somewhere?

It occurs to me that some malware has the capability to stop regedit from running and may be capable of locking registry entries. A shell command redirect, or some-such.

Is it possible that some malware is still on the pc, but well hidden? Or maybe some of the malware already removed has left the registry lock behind it?

651928 2008-03-23 23:27:00 I can get hold of XP home or Vista Home premium. Do you have a preference?

651929 2008-03-23 23:32:00 Are they legit??

Never used Vista, probably never will.

It'll probably be better doing a clean install / and reinstalling whatever version

651930 2008-03-24 01:25:00 Hi

I have just googled "Windows 2000 locked registry keys" and one of the links mentions
Regedt32.exe a registry editor in Win 2k that can change permissions of registry keys
and values.

I found the file on the system I am repairing, but had to rename it to get it to work.
It allows me to change the permissions on the locked registry keys from read only to
full control and thereby delete them.

However there are literally hundreds of entires to delete and will take me hours to
fix them.

Is it possible for one of you script experts to write a script to delete the appropriate
key from a combofix log or whatever? Or shall I continue to do it the hard way?

I have renamed my version of regedt32.exe to reg32.exe


Note to Speedy
Both of XP Home, and Vista Home Premium are legal, and the Vista is running on my
personal pc

Also Have run Trojan remover and it is still giving Access Denied messages when I try to delete the suspicios debugger entries during the scan.
