I cant install any software on my pc. There is this virus that is running in my background disguised as halokeygen.exe and anytime I end it's proccess it just respawns. So I searched the hardrive and the registry. I did an online virus scanner. I cant shake this thing. I was wondering...You know how when you open the taskmanager it shows you what proccesses are running is there a program that will list the processes and shows where the root file is located.
No I cant even run a program. I have windows xp pro. And Im the admin. It is telling me that I dont have permissions to run any program. I am basically locked off my pc. I cant do anything!!!!!
The best thing you can do is to ask your question at AntiOnline. They can be rough but the experts are there.
Ill try to reboot in safe mode and run the software from there.
Try AntiOnline first.
I know you said you can't run any programs, but based off your post saying you ran an online virus scan, I'm not 100% sure what you mean, so...
Try running "msconfig". Make sure everything is unchecked.
This won't solve your problem, but at least you'll be able to delete "halokeygen.exe" after a restart.
Ok I ran msconfig and that little thing was in win.ini and all the other startup devices. It was in the registy. So I deleted the keys but the actual virus is still in C:\windows\system32.
Ill keep you updated
Sounds like the one I had. Uncheck in msconfig and then go to Download.com and get REGVAC. Its a free program that goes though your reg and clears out the junk. If you have the same one I had it will delete for you. If not the REGVAC also has a function that allows you to delete msconfig startup entrys.
I already fixed it; it was optix.bj a backdoor virus. But the only solution I had was to backup all of my junk on an invisible 5gig partition and then Ghost my C:
