| Mmmkay, so I just removed various spyware from my compy that didn't allow me to access the taskmanager or regedit because it precluded those choices in the registry. I used Ad-Aware to fix it, but the problem came back every time I re-installed, so deleted msbltn from system32 and things got all better. However, even though I can now use regedit, I can't actually write anything to the registry, it just gives me "error writing to registry" or "error acessing registry". Why? |

| Get a virus scanner, update it and run it in safe mode. Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy are nice ad- and spyware killers but cannot replace an antivirus at all. And also trojans and worms can block certain files or entries from accessing them. If you still can't write to the registry at all, even if not creating a new administrator profile (since you even didn't say which OS your are using, I'll have to guess for Windows XP) - then grab your most important data like save files from games, images and your stuff, burn it on CDs/DVDs and make a clean reformatting and installing. Then, after Windows XP got installed freshly, turn on the Windows firewall, go to Windows Update (or if you have a CD, just install Service Pack 2 from there) and all other updates. If you don't want to install SP2 (some computers got fucked up after installing it), then simply download SP1 and all other updates except SP2. When you are done, only turn the firefwall off if you have installed another one. Oh, get a better firewall than the windows' built-in one after you made the security updates (like Sygate Personal Firewallr Zonr Alarm), download a virus scanner, keep both of them updated as new as possible ... and don't use Internet Explorer anymore. Get Mozilla Firefox at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox, and you'll have a good and fast browser - and no more or way less tracking cookies on your system.
