this is the first time i have had this happen but ever since i removed about 20 worms from my registry and restarted and until this morning i can not do a chkdsk from the tools tab on the properties section on the menu from my hd. i ran an microsoft scan and found a system hijacker and thought that would cure it but it didnt help. i have these programs. its alot.

spyware guard, norton av 2004, microsoft spyware antispyware beta1,spyware doctor,spybot s@d 1.4, tmas-web scan,windows malicious software removal tool, copy me to the desktop scanner from trend micro, fix my doom e-mail scanner, tsc scanner, spywareblaster, cwshredder, noadware, alertspy, pc orion, xoftspy, palspyware remover, and registry mechannic, i have not ran a few of these that i normally run but if they do not work what can i do to fix this problem besides a redo of my os. i do have sevice pack 2 and za freeware trial for a fw and my windows fw.

Click start then run, type chkdsk /f /r then press enter, type Y then press enter then reboot, do not disturb this until it loads to the desktop which could be a couple of hours

holy [bleep]!. ok im gonna try that. never thought of that cmd.

[Townes]

ok i tried that it still said Cannot open volume for direct access. below that Windows has finished checking the disk.

When you press enter, do you get a box which say no can do as it is locked, type Y to confirm for next boot

[Townes]

well no. but i think i found the problem. i just started running the copy me to the desktop scanner i got from a friend of mine and it found the worm JUBON_A. i will have to run this scan aganin to make sure its gone once i restart after the scan is done then i run it again which takes another 2 hrs. hopefully this might solve the problem.

You can do this to double check

Have you heard anything from malware

[waynescheffler]

In some rare instances SYSTEM can loose access rights to the hard drive.
I ran into a similar problem one time. With XP Pro I fixed it by opening "My Computer" then
tools>folder options>view tab uncheck "use simple file sharing" Apply>OK button

then Right click C: drive Properties>Security tab and make sure SYSTEM is listed in the user/group box
If it is not add it and give full access.

If you have XP home there maybe another way to do the same thing but im not sure.

[Townes]

yea i have windows xp and i just found 17 more worms on my pc with spyware dector as i have found over 70 worms on here since last week and removed over 150 registries that were invalid and chk/temp files which i do not need and were slowing me down but i guess ill try that.

I expect you will keep generating errors until malware pinpoint the source

[Townes]

not really. i am actuaaly fixing my errors and pinpointing them at the sametime as i am pipointing the malware as well. within the next 8 or 9 days i will have 0 reg probles and no errors hopefully. maybe with the exception of chkdsk and that could be it i hope. .

[Townes]

nope. didnt work . this sucks. what do u have all checked in under msconfig and on each tab and what do you have running? and can u do steps 1 to 5 on chkdsk?
