| If you are unable to open Task Manager This malware disables Task Manager and the Registry tools. So if you find that you are not able to open the task manager, there are several polpular free tools available on the internet to solve this problem. I will list them here, see which one helps you.
| | 1) The UnHookEcec tool from Symantec. Download It from here UnHookExec.inf
Download the file UnHookExec.inf and save it to your Windows desktop. (If you cannot connect to the Internet from the infected computer, download to an uninfected computer then save it either to a floppy disk or cd, dvd. Then take the disk and insert it in the disk drive of the infected computer.) Note: The tool has a .inf file extension. Locate the download file, either on the Windows desktop or the floppy disk. Right-click the UnHookExec.inf file and click install. (This is a small file. It does not display any notice or boxes when you run it.) | | 2) A VBS script : Open Notepad and copy and paste the following:
On Error Resume Next
Set shl = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fso = CreateObject("scripting.FileSystemObject")
shl.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"
shl.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr"
Save this file with .VBS extension.
While saving enter the name in double quotes and select all files from the save as type in notepad.
For the ease of use, save the file on desktop. For example "regtool.vbs". When the file is saved as a vbs file then the file icon changes as a VBScript script file. Double click on the file name to execute it. t will enable the registry Tools | | 3) Use the Doug Knox Enable/Disable Task Manager tool.
| | 4) Use "Remove Restrictions Tool" . Do a google search with this name, and download the latest version from whichever site you like. It is a Demo version in which some advanced features are disabled, but it should be enough to remove the restrictions placed by the virus on your computer. Uninstall / delete this software after single use. There is no point in keeping it on your computer once it has done its job. | | | | |
