You should boot into safe mode first Ben then run your virus scan. Delete the files that the scan brings up. (if you don't do it in safe mode some of the files may be used by Windows and you won't be able to delete them properly and they will come back)

and also whilst in safe mode go to regedit then

1. Navigate to the keys:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunServices
   HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOLE
   
2. In the right pane, delete the value:
   "win32" = "winhost.exe"
   then close regedit

meh noobie here, how would one start in safe mode?

[Nexus9]

press F8 when you restart the computer

[85URK]

whoa tech stuff. i have no idea about that stuff.

[chaos]

pressed F8, but didnt work.

[Nexus9]

so when you are restarting the computer as the white writing comes up (before the windows load screen comes up) you should continually press the F8 button and eventually you will get a screen that will give you the option of selecting

Safe mode

Safe mode with networking

Normal mode

[chaos]

okies, will try again.

[NismoGirl]

Gonna be a long day at work.

I hope my truck loads of flowers at home dont die.....

*cough*.

[chaos]

still doesnt go into safe mode.

GF got me a Giant A3 sized card for valentines day

[chaos]

So much for spending a day looking at Tafe courses and part time work

[Nexus9]

have you got name brand computer like a HP or a Dell or something Ben?

[chaos]

yeh Chris got HP

i got that done, but its still not letting me run regedit in the run menu

[Nexus9]

that explains alot

Never ever buy a name brand computer people, they are a pos.

They change Bios settings and stuff so you can't fix your own computer using normal instructions.

They want you to ring them up when something bad yet simple happens so they can charge you like a wounded bull to get it fixed.

looks like we will have to try it the hard way then

From the Start menu's Run dialog, enter the command MSConfig. Click on the BOOT.INI tab and check the /SAFEBOOT box. Now when you boot, Windows will go into Safe mode. Naturally, when you no longer need Safe mode, you'll repeat the process and uncheck that box.

Unless HP have changed that option too
