You might want to remove that Log File, might be some stuff that people can use.

Can you give snapshot of what services are running?
My computer left click >> manage >> scroll down to services and applications >>> click the plus (+) >>> click services.
In the left pane you'll see all your services running.
Now hit start >> run >> type regedit.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> software/microsoft/windows/run
Whats running in there?

When I go to regedit, it says "registry editing has been disabled by your adminstrator"
When I do the other thing, I see in the left pane under services and applications:
services
wmi control
indexing service
Is this what you need to see?

Skip
It's one step at a time.
I can explain to you how all this works but it's way too much typing for me. I'm too slow.
LEB could do it Typing. She types 100 mph.

What I'm hoping is to get it to a point to get some anti-virus software back working. Then perhaps I won't have to wipe everything off and start over. It's most disturbing since it is unclear how this machine got sick. It's just a laptop here at the house. Yes, it has a wireless card, but it connects to our secured wireless internet. What if I get it cleaned and it just comes back?
I went to Dr. Sprock's suggested site and it is not working. The list of commands does not quite match what is on the machine for getting the regedit back working.
frustration builds...

You need to download the script to re-enable the registry.
I have done this before.
Google; registry editing has been disabled by your administrator
And find the script and save it in notepad with the proper ending.
Execute the script and then you need to reboot.
Gee wiz man you need to learn how to search and research.
This is not that hard.

Oh Callie
I hope you get it fixed--I've had Norton on my box for a long
time and haven't had any problems. . .of course, now that I say
that I'm sure to be infected. . . .
Good luck!

These new viruses disable your anti viruses so they become useless.
Rootkits are more difficult but can be eradicated by skill full use of the proper tools.
I have a whole office full of these tools.

Heh heh. I'm back on my machine as you can see by the name.
I think it's looking grim here - that wiping out the hard drive may be what has to be done. Someone up thread said that one should not only wipe out the hard drive, but should just get a new one. For real? This is a laptop that has fallen ill. Same advice then?
