Yeah thats the one however any process/program i want to run doesnt
the window just opens for a second then closes, task manager, fix.exe,rkill etc0 -
Have you tried all the filesDownload and run the following tool to help allow other programs to run.
RKill.exe
RKill.com
RKill.scr
RKill.pif- There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.
- Vista and Win7 users need to right click and choose Run as Admin
- You only need to get one of them to run, not all of them.
- You will know one ran when a box opens up with a report

Will it let you edit the registry by going start>run>regedit ? When you try to run an application (like Malwarebytes) do you get an error message or does it just refuse to open?
If registry editing has been disabled you can go to Start>Run and copy and paste this entry which should allow you to open regedit.
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0
You might want to copy and paste it into a text file on a usb stick to ensure it is correctly typed and to save you typing it out. Also I'd try to start in safe mode and try running msconfig then going to the Startup tab and stop as much as you can from starting up (usually strange .dlls are part of the malware)
This is just about finding some loop holes. If you can edit the reg then we may be able disable the entry that is stopping you from running applications which will let you run a malware scanner and get rid of further files.Total@ LBM - Nov07 £14k - Nov 08 £5765 - Aug 09 £3k Dec 09 £998 - May 11 £6900 - Jun 12 £8k Sept12 £7k 19.5k Done - 0k to go
