Hello,

In many cases, I was forced to do the hard work curing the computers that are infected because they were with no AV already installed on them at all, yes that's true, many people doesn't know whether their computers need an AV software or not, they don't even know what a computer virus is!

When someone of those ask me for help, I first do an offline scan & clean.

When I boot the computer, I usually be faced with the same thing every time; the virus made some system restrictions in order to make himself hidden, those restrictions are usually the following :

1 - Disable Ctrl+Alt+Del >> so the user can't see the virus and the other running applications!

2 - Disable Folder Options >> so the user can't set the option to show hidden files!

3 –Disable Regedit >> so the user can't see what is going on in system startup!

Unfortunately, AV Softwares have nothing to do with these restrictions and do nothing to re-enable them!

Until AV softwares come with such tool in their next versions, here, you'll find a tiny tool that does the work for KAV, it Re-Enable all what the virus had disabled, and brings every thing back. I designed this tool and published it FOR FREE for every one need to use it!

You are infected by virus..scan your computer with AVG 7.5. This antivirus is free and you can download it in the net.

Steps in enabling registry editor:

After scanning, go to run dialog box. Type gpedit.msc then goto:
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
in right-side pane, set "Prevent access to Registry editing tools" to either Not Configured or Disabled.

Steps in enabling Folder Options:

type "regedit" in the run dialog box then find "NoFolderOptions" in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If it exist, set the value of it to 0 or delete it.

Now, try to check in the Control Panel if the Folder Options icon is already there. If still not exist. Try this step:

Type gpedit.msc then goto:
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Component -> Windows Explorer
in right-side pane, set "Removes the Folder Options menu item from the Tools menu" to Disabled.

Then try to check it again in the Control Panel if the Folder Options icon is already there.

jumpin hi there people who have problem with regedit (disable by the administrator) the main reason of disabling the regedit are virus, i encountered a staberry virus quoted "i'm still waiting for the straberry virus from baguio" i asked and try too many ways to retrieve my regedit but its only a waste of time, heres the practical solution that surely make you laugh, but proven effective. click star menu, click control panel then click user account pick a task create a new account. log off the current account and log on from your new account. the regedit are working properly in this new account you may now fix the problem or delete viruses using regedit.

to remove straberry virus click start menu run: copy and paste or manually locate the following regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\currentVersion\winlogon, then delete the sentence say "im still waiting for your straberry from baguio. then delete the other one who have related phrases. thanks and more power.

I followed the instructions from Cybermitz and after struggling for two days to fix my computer from the Brontok virus and get my folder options working in both my user account and in administrator, Cybermitz had me fixed in ten minutes. Thank you!

Be careful of Brontok washer and remove restrictions tools. They did not work for me.

Thank you Cybermitz. smile
