If you are using Windows Me or XP you should try using system restore. If not I suggest going to the microsoft website and finding instructions to restore your registry.

Hi, You didn't say why you uninstalled your anti-virus. I'm going to guess that it wasn't working correctly. My clue to that is usually the file Wink**.exe is associated with the Klez virus. I have seen this numerous times. Go to Symantec.com and download the tool to fix the virus. Download it to your desktop, then boot into safe mode. Run the program from there and read the log it creates at the end. It will tell you if you were infected. Then you should be able to reinstall. Check out this link, it should help. Good luck, Jim
