An Error I Get On My Pc

[ck-uk]

Mate i just googled this for you... it wasnt that hard to find either mate

Goto regedit again & find this folder

Hkey_local_Machine/software/microsoft/windows nt/current version/winlogon

Then on the right scroll down to "shell",under data it should read explorer.exe.

Right click shell,modify & delete everything after "explorer.exe.Which should be wins......system32.exe


If its still the same..

they were already removed..and I get the same problem again..It looks like the file was deleted or something...Is it possible if someone just sends me the file true msn and I just restore it into the folder??

thanx

You&#39;re not understanding what is happening mate.

system32.exe is either a Trojan Horse or a virus, you do not want it on your system.

So far you have rightly deleted this file, but there are registry entries still linking to it at start up. You need to delete them too. What was the name your anti virus gave you when it detected this? You say it advised you to delete the system32.exe file, what else did it tell you? Look in the AV scanners log, you&#39;ll find it in the options somewhere.

Try jv16 power tools (free- Google it) to view your registry and delete any references to this file.

Also, do an online scan such as that linked to you by muchspl. I wouldn&#39;t format and reinstall windows; there&#39;s probably no need. [/b][/quote]

Mate..I did everything u told me..I found the shell file and I modified it..Now...Do u want me to delete the shell file or some other files??

[LTJBukem]

Erm.... Did i miss something?

I&#39;m guessing he was saying something along the lines of .......... system32.exe is not a virus you ..........

Well .hack, i&#39;m sorry but you&#39;re wrong.

I thought you said you searched the registry and didn&#39;t find anything with &#39;system32.exe&#39;?
Didn&#39;t you use the search function in regedit (&#39;Edit&#39; > &#39;Find...&#39 and searched for &#39;system32.exe&#39;?

Anyway, it doesn&#39;t matter now.
Just edit the registry entry that ck-uk pointed out, so that it only shows &#39;explorer.exe&#39;. Close regedit and reboot.
The irritating popup should be gone now.

I searched the registry in the jw power tools..and didnt find anything there....

U want me to delete the shell entry right??..I tried that now but didnt find a way to do it..Please explain how to do this?

thanx
