Regedit, Task Manager and Folder Options Malfunction

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Last year, I’ve got a file on my usb named “New Folder”. It has a folder icon ( the yellow one). I thought it’s a folder that’s why I clicked expecting some files to appear. I didn’t know that it was an executable file because of the icon. I just found out Regedit, task manager and folder options don’t work anymore. When I typed regedit on the run line, pop-up window appeared saying it was disabled by the administrator. Why would I disable regedit especially task manager? I’ve been using these apps. Soon I discovered it was a virus. I run process xp to view the services and programs running because I couldn’t use task manager. I found out this strange process named scvhost.exe highlighted with red. I killed the process then opened up Tune Up Utilities 2007 which was a trial version. I used its Registry Editor to delete the disable registry, disable task manager and no folder options keys along the HKCU path. Then under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon path, there was a key shell there with a value explorer.exe scvhost.exe. I deleted scvhost.exe so it won’t run again on the next log on.  I went to c:/windows then deleted the file scvhost.exe. Then used ExplorerPortable Xp not the windows explorer and went to c:\windows\system32 then erased scvhost.exe. I used ccleaner to delete the start up key for yahoo mesengger which was using the file scvhost.exe.

You can get this scvhost.exe by clicking files that appear to be folders like smss.exe, New Folder.exe and explorer.exe. So never click them…

*You can actually manually solve any viral issues without relying much on Anti-virus programs. 

 

Alternative Solution:

There is a program named Noob Killer which can easily remove these problems. DOWNLOAD HERE

your tab menu my friend is just hidden. you have to double-click the brown color part outside the main body to get back the menu.
