Are you running a firewall? Are you running AV? Have you
scanned recently? What string is modified and how? Do you
use a registry cleaner? When was the last time you used it?

We will need more information to be able to even give you
suggestions on how to proceed.

I noted that you are Romanian. Anything I don't
understand, I'll ask. We have a lot of folks that aren't
native English speakers.

It sounds almost like you have a virus of some kind that
your AV isn't finding. So a few more questions- Are you
on a company pc on a LAN? Are you the IT department?
Do you have an IT department or are you expected to fix
your own issues?

If you have the clearance to do so, I would try an online
scan- Trend Micro is good and safe. Given that you have
registry errors, it might be best to do a complete wipe and
reload. If your problem IS a virus, that may be the best
approach.

The issue isn't terribly unusual but it is easy to get
paranoid over.

Also lumi- I don't know if you have done this yet or not,
but please post this in Questions also. Select the Ask a
Question button and duplicate your original post. There
are people who only respond to the posted Questions and
don't read the Discussions. That will attract more help to
you.

I will watch for your reply.

If this is a work system, it is possible this is being done to comply with company policy, to remove all unauthorized software.

Have you checked with your Admin? If you DO have an infection, the Admins should be notified ASAP! If this is their doing, then there would be nothing we could do to help you.

Check with the Admin and get back to us.

You've come to the right place, I'll look into this tonight, if someone hasn't helped you by then, but I see T2 has found you, you are in good hands.

Hello!
Over and over, I will try to fix my own issues. Am I the clearence to do so? Or I am out of date? I just try to understand why my computer not work properly. Yes my company have an IT departament, a LAN, and an Admin.
But, so what? Nobody have no time to lose. This is row, to-do.
Every day I scan my computer with Norton AV. It is OK. But oneday the Admin dowloaded an program named : Folder Lock, and I find certains programs locked by Folder Lock.
I am technical designer and I usualy work in AutoCAD 2000. Bcz. it is an old version last few days, I try to download an little program by Autodesk,named :DWG True Convert. But not work. I suppose the Admin control what applications a user can run, and prevent access to specific drives.That it!
Thanks for all.
Best regards
