Hi there
can someone please help, I am experiencing difficulties with my computer. I am unable to right click on the desktop, my search menu is missing form the start menu and i can no longer restore the computer to an earlier time.
Before I was unable to open the Windows task manager but I went into safe mode and that it is no longer a problem. Can someone help me please?

Hi Breal59

i can no longer restore the computer to an earlier time

Did you try system restore in safe mode?
I think you might have to take a trip to Malware

I tried system restore in safe mode but it did not work, I can also not get anything to load under the run command aside from ipconifg. My registry editor has been disabled by the administrator.

Are you the administrator?
If so, login on the Administrator account.
If you don't know how:
When you get to the login screen, where you select your account, do CTRL+ALT+DEL. TWICE.
Then as Username type "Administrator"
and as password, try empty.
See if you can do the stuff you need to do with the Administrator account.

I could only log on as the Administrator in the safe mode. I was able to right click on the desktop under the administrator name in the safe mode.

it says that I need to re enable System Restore before doing any scans and I cannot re enable System Restore. Is there any way to do it from MsConfig?
Anyways, I completed Ad Aware and it found no infections, AVG Anti Spyware infections were deleted, I have also tried a McAfee system scan, a disk cleanup, disk defragmentator and ATF Cleaner and I am still unable to right click and utilise System Restore.
So basically the answer must be in the Hijack log file above.

Post this in the malware removal section like peterm has been suggesting. I see some entries that jump out at me as being suspicious, but the experts over in malware removal need to analyze the log fully and tell you what to fix.

where can I post it?! that section that you gave me the link to has been closed.

[crash override]

Sorry, that link is the must read before posting a log, my bad. http://www.geekstogo...o_Here-f37.html should take you to the lobby of the malware forum. Read through and follow the steps in that first link before posting your log in a new thread though.

how do i get into the group policy editor without using the Run command? beacuse at the moment it will not load the group policy editor from the run command.

[crash override]

Start-->Programs-->Administrative Tools-->Local Security Policy. I know that works for XP Pro, not positive about HE. For Group Policy, you need to have the server tools installed.

how do i install the server tools?

i think that i need to get into the registry editor but i am unable to. I get the notice ''registry editor has been disabled by your administrator'' when i type in regedit in the run command.
