Let me know if you can download the following tool
I'm assuming probably not, but see if you can
ftp://downloads2.kaspersky-labs.com/devbu....2008_08-49.exe

If you can, just download it to your desktop
DO NOT try and run it yet

Unfortuneately, you have a very nasty infection
Many of your files could be infected

This part worries me
Quote
i have formatted this comp before coz of same prob coz i was thinking it is virus or worm and it was okay for a while. now it came back and i dont like to reformat this again coz its too much work. also, before i reformatted this it always shows .exe in my drive folders. for example: i made a folder named "abc". then when i reboot i see abc folder as abc.exe. i stated this because it seems to be the same problem(not sure) as before. it starts from inaccessiblilty of task manager ang reg editor.

Files in your D and/or E drives could be corrupt also
Causing your system to be infected after you reformatted

Here's some more info on your problem
http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?ui...98-c539115ba659

Do you have another computer you can download any tools to?
Do you have a blank CD or CDRW?

With the infection you have
Reformatting, and clean install is probably the best idea
Afterwards, get all your latest Windows updates
come back here and get some free protection software

Is your D and E partitions on the same drive as this one?
Or a seperate drive

Before you do the above
Can you download this file? Avira AntiVir Rescue System  
http://www.free-av.com/en/tools/12/avira_a...cue_system.html

Can you do the following
Pop a blank CD or CDRW into your burner

You should see rescueCD.exe on desktop with an Umbrella icon
If you don't see the .exe part when you hover your mouse over it

Show file extensions
Go to START>MyComputer>>TOOLS>>FOLDER OPTIONS>>VIEW>>
UnCheck
"Hide Extensions for know file types"
Apply and OK it

Back at rescuecd.exe
Can you right click on it and rename it to rescuecd.com
Left click a blank area on desktop to set it and ok the prompt

Double click on rescuecd.com
and Run it>>Your burning device should be selected, or choose the correct drive from the drop down arrow
Then click on "Burn CD"
Following the prompts, it should prompt when it's successful and possibly eject the CD afterwards

Let me know if you can do the above then we'll go from there
If you can, at least we can scan with this and ensure to clean C,D,and E drives of bad files

Can you put the disk back in the cd player

If you open MyComuter>>and right click on your CD Drive and select Explore
You should see a number of files>>12 in total

Do you see them all
Your bios may be set to boot from CD first
Do you know how to enter the bios and set boot order to your CDDrive just in case?<<I assume you do as you have reformatted before, sorry just thought I would ask

it seems there is 1 extra file here... i have 13 files total... antivir, html, licenses, autorun.inf, avira.ico, boot.cat, index.html, initrd.gz, isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg, license.txt, vmlinuz, welcome.msg

im guessing the other 1 is a virus ?

I'm not sure what the antivir one is, but it appears legit
I suggest that you print these instructions, or note them down, we'll be doing the next steps without
Graphical interface
I'm off to bed soon, so I won't know how this went till later

Ok, can we try the next step
We may be able to clean a bunch of infected files
and see where we stand from there

Reboot the computer with the CD in the drive and boot from it
Select Option 2 when prompted

At language selection, use the drop down arrow key on your keyboard to highlight
ENGLISH
Then use the SPACE bar to select it then hit ENTER

Drivers should then load
After drivers have loaded
Use the keyboard to highlight SCAN and hit ENTER
LEAVE to "SCAN ALL FILES"

Use the Arrow keys and the Space bar to highlight and Select
"Try to Repair Files" then Hit Enter
Leave other Defaults selected hitting Enter after each prompt

Scan should start
You won't see it scanning C, D, E,
you will most likely see it scanning something like
hda1, hda2, hda3

There is an option to save a log to floppy when done, but I find it usually isn't successful
So there won't be a log to show me afterwards

When the scan is complete, you can try and remove the disk at the prompt
If it won't remove, just Halt the system to shutdown

On startup, you can either continue booting to harddisk, or try and remove the CD before it gets to that prompt
Come back here and let me know how it went
We may try looking at some logs if it went ok
