I posted a recent message about being unable to open task
mgr, msconfig & regedit. The replies I received suggested
antivirus scans, ad-aware scans & spybot scans. I've done
all 3 and was infected w/ multiple problems which I've
deleted (or quarantined?). However, I still cannot open
any of the above 3 programs. They either open briefly &
then disappear (regedit & task mgr), do not open at all
(msconfig) or state that I do not have authorization to
open (happened once trying to run regedit). To those who
provided help earlier, thank you. If anyone could provide
further help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
