If not, I'd be running those anti-virus/maleware programs.

no .exe are working either, msconfig, regedit, etc ... WTF -- nm - G.waa Mar 11, 14:25 9
- Regedit is locked out? Sounds of a virus to me, I know you said you tried Mcafee, but try another scanner. - scorpion Mar 11, 14:29 6
  - Can I do that thing where I send my system back to a different date? or will it still be effed -- nm - G.waa Mar 11, 14:37 5
    - What operating system? I'm assuming you're talking aobut system restore -- nm - scorpion Mar 11, 14:41 4
      - Vista, and I can't even load the Reinstall CD it keeps giving me errors... how do I do system restore during a boot up? -- nm - G.waa Mar 11, 14:58 3
        
        Keep hitting F8 untill a menu comes up, one of the choices, if you didn't disable it, is restore to a previous point -- nm - scorpion Mar 11, 15:00 2
        
        Hit F8 durring boot that is -- nm - scorpion Mar 11, 15:01 1
        
        not there -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 11, 15:06
- These associations are registry involved so maybe a registry cleaner could help. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 14:29 1
  - I downloaded one but can't get it to load either -- nm - G.waa Mar 11, 14:37
Yeah I just rebooted, no good, ran Mcafee as well and nothing found -- nm - G.waa Mar 11, 14:20
