I am using Windows XP SP2 with Norton Antivirus 2006. Recently when i used a USB pen-drive, the antivirus said it could not resolve the following viruses
1. w32.sillyfdc
2. w32.ircbrute
These viruses make certain registery changes.
Now after that all the .msc files have stopped working and give the message “Access is denied”. Also i received an update from windows media palyer, to which i said no.
After looking up on google, it seemed that this was a recent problem and that other people have also reported the same in the months of november and december 2008.
The windows update thing is a ploy by w32.sillyfdc to download ceratin files.
After running a full system scan, the antivirus reports no virus/trojan.I believe the viruses have been removed and now registry has to be changed back so that .msc files run again.
How do i do that?. How does one make changes to .msc files entries, ie what binary values need to be set now?How does one make a copy of the registry?
Thanks in advance
