[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt (More info?)

Hi! Iam using Win98Se with internet Explorer V5.
I am sharing my home d/top with my son. I am using for personal productivity
apps. whilst my son was using it for d/loading mp3 & surfing.
Lately, some problem has surfaced.
-1)my homepage selection on the |TOOLS| INTERNET OPTIONS|GENERAL.
was grey out.-it was replaced by a http://www.xxxxx.mp3.com
Now I cannot change back to my prefered homepage.

-2)When I try to goto -start-Run-Regedit, I get the error mssg
"Registry editing has been disable by your system adminstrator"

Could it be one of those trojan or any virus?
Please help - how can I retain control of my system.

thanks for helping
Avin.G

Start with AdAware and SpyBot-Search & Destroy; see what they turn up.

can you run MSCONFIG?
or CNTRL ALT Delete does the close program window stay up?
if they both close quickly then you may have a virus (although that
one may have only hit NT OS's)

Yes, I can run msconfig & control, alt & delete as usual.
I have also use Adware & spyware and the result were quite a number
of apps such as =weather, =save, =booker & 4 more misc.apps.
But each of them requires that I run the registry editor to remove these
apps.
I will try out JAD suggestions and hope for the best.
Thanks
