Hello,

 

I got two viruses which were found in the temp internet files folder. I

deleted them but now the option "tools/options" doesn't work. ( it just

flashes up for a second then disappears)

 

Is there a way to fix this aside from a re-install ?

 

thankyou for all helpful advice.

Hi Kelly, tried script 268 but it didn't do the trick. Perhaps a reinstall

will.

Hi Mani,

It is regedit.exe you can copy and paste in the Run command and see or make

the necessary changes in those keys mentioned before.

If you cannot then Backup your data and be ready to wipe the HDD and perform

a clean install.

Please install the Anti-virus with firewall and Anti-malware first before

connecting to the internet, also get updates from MS then try to scan the

Data from the removal storage and copy to where you want it to be.

HTH.
