Re: Can not open user account through control panel.

[Bob Toovey]

Ramesh,

Your enable TM reg file did the trick, thanks for that. However, I
still have more problems than I have time for....!!!!!

Cant shift blazefind even though SpyBot S&D 1.3 removed it three
times. Still getting a password request for most websites visited. Why
is that??? Is it IE6 being too sensitive?

I have one question which I am sure is obvious to all (so please
excuse me!), do I really have to run Spyware and virus checks on each
and every indivudal account on a XP machine? My client has 3 accounts
pn her XP machine. Could some of my problems be related to the fact
that each account is seperatly infected (Spyware etc...) and cross
infecting each other??


Bob

PS I had a good time reading and playing with LeakTest, a rather
interesting program!

Bob,

It's not mandatory to run spyware cleaners in each user account. The main
objective would be to eliminate the malware files and their GUID entries
(the source) which Ad-aware or SpyBot does it perfectly. Next step is to
inspect the startup entries for each user profile. Autoruns from
www.sysinternals.com would be helpful.

Ramesh,

an update...

Problem with the User Accounts was that the MSHTA file was missing,
once I replaced it, I could access the accounts.

However, I still can't get the Task Manager, still get the message
,'this has been disabled by the administrator' or words to that
effect. I went in as Admin and right clicked the task bar and found an
option for the task manager but it did not seem to work. Any thoughts?

SFC helped a little but nothing major. The system is still suffering
various problems, as reported in the event log, such as error 7011 and
1005.

Any to cap it all the machine is now infected by Blazefind.

I am starting to wonder if I should simply reinstall the damm thing!
Only I dont think the client has all her software on disk!

Anyway, any thoughts would be appriciated!

Bob,
Glad you got the User account issue resolved. For the Task Manager
restrictions see, Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Taskmanager_error.htm

BTW, fully updated reference for Ad-aware should be enough to remove
BlazeFind. In addition, the following information may help:

Quick Launch settings are not saved; Search Assistant Toolbar in Taskbar:
http://www.winxptutor.com/wsaremove.htm
