I'm trying to get rid of Directs.exe, but I can't access my Registry Editor. I'll click Run, and the window will only pop up for a second or so before closing automatically. GAA!!
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

have you tried opening up the editor directly?

Windows -->system32--> regedt32

Yeah, but with the same result.

I just installed the EwidoGuard software, so it's knocking directs.exe off my taskmanager. Funny, but ever since then, regedit works just fine. Do you know whether there is a definite connection between the directs.exe worm and regedit malfunction?

thanks

after searching online, I found this about directs.exe: http://www.processli...rects/index.php

It seems that you have a worm.

do not attempt anything rash by removing stuff from you registry. You can seriously damage your computer if you don't know what you're doing.
