Thread: virus attack

Viruses with file names regsvr. exe and mediacontrol.exe have creeped into my laptop. My anti virus has been disabled by the viruses. I had installed Norton anti virus, but I'm not even able to remove it or install a new anti virus. All my video files are getting corrupted and turning into IMG files. Also. I'm unable to access my guest account and the registry editor has been disabled.

First, try updating the virus definitions for your current anti virus. Try a different anti virus program that comes with a backup CD or DVD disc that you can boot into and scan the drive without Windows running. Some others will let you create a rescue disc. Try using these to fix the problem.
