Simer, if you have access to another computer I can email the program to you. You can then copy it to a plan old floppy disk and then copy it to your hard drive.
Let me know if this is an option.

"error: cannot copy fine, can't read from the source file or disk" or something like that

If i throw my computer out the window will that help?

it'll keep you from getting those silly error messages at least.

See if you can go here.

If not, let me know and I'll post the manual removal instructions for you.

I sent it to you again as a zip file. If that doesn't work I'm not sure what to tell you.

See wouldn't it be great if computers had necks. That way you could wring it's neck when it #&%!$ed up.

BTW, I use a combination of Ad-Aware and SpyBot to keep the adware off my computer. Since I ran both, spam to my home account has fallen off dramatically.

I like to think that i'm pretty good with computers, but why is this all making my head hurt? i understand most of what it's saying. It tells me to go into the registry... but i can't! "regedit has been disabled by your administrator" well wtf, i didn't disable anything. I had a similar warning with task manager when i had the pwsagi worm and had to download a tool to help me...

What OS are you running?

It sorta sounds like your system has been compromised.

One of my college roommates was from Pittsburgh. I wasn't sure if slippy was a Pennsylvania thing or just a Pittsburgh thing.

home
simer190
11:07:09 AM
5/11/04

OK, I found something that might help...go to the Run command and type in "gpedit.msc" without the quotes...this is the group policy editor.

When you run that, you'll see the User Configuration section, and a folder under that called Administrative Templates. Somewhere in there (I can't find it) will be a policy called "Disable Registry Editing Tools". Change this, and hopefully it will allow you to edit your registry again.
bitpusher

?? whatever that is i can't find it

it's fine, you don't have to spend your whole day trying to help me out - as soon as I get home I'm going to format the whole computer... and if that doesn't get rid of it, I give up. I can live with it for the rest of the week, there's just a few sites that I can't get to...

bitpusher

spysweeper must have an override or something that changes my homepage to what it's supposed to be... i guess that's kinda nice, if only it would totally get rid of the program.
simer190

can't find "gpedit.msc"
simer190

I take it you weren't able to copy the zip file to your computer either.
lumberzac

no, i got the same error
simer190
11:29:41 AM
5/11/04

Use "search" in Windows Explorer to try and find it...
bitpusher
11:30:29 AM
5/11/04

"it" being gpedit.msc...
bitpusher
11:31:28 AM
5/11/04

I did some more poking, and apparently gpedit.msc isn't available on XP Home, so don't bother...
bitpusher
11:33:33 AM

just forget it, i don't need to waste any more of your time.

i feel so helpless, i've always been able to fix my own computer, but when programs on here start thinking for themeselves i dont' know what to do.
simer190
11:36:28 AM

Another thing you might try is to restore an older copy of your registry from before the problem started...

From the searching I've done, unfortunately, you seem well and good screwed because you're on XP Home.
bitpusher
11:48:39 AM
5/11/04

yep, sounds like time to click on system restore, to a date a couple of weeks ago before the problem developed.
Roam Around
11:49:43 AM

Simer, try this:
Go here and download that registry editor. It should allow you to change the key value (the key is called "DisableRegistryTools") and then you can edit with regedit again.
bitpusher
12:40:13 PM
5/11/04

yeah, now fix it so it doesn't go away every time i open it. It doesn't stay open long enough for me to do anything, it dissappears.
simer190
12:46:00 PM
5/11/04

What doesn't stay open, regedit or the tool I had you download?
bitpusher
12:49:53 PM
5/11/04

regedit, same with msconfig
simer190
12:50:42 PM
5/11/04

Can you open the System task tool with ctrl-alt-delete?
bitpusher
12:51:27 PM
5/11/04

yes
simer190
12:52:42 PM
5/11/04

OK...there is probably some task running that is doing that...

here are some of the tasks that may be causing the trouble:

clrschp038[1].exe
ss_revco16_setup.exe
loader.exe
clrschp010.execlrschuninstall.exe

if any of those are running, use "End Task" to stop them.
bitpusher

Do you see one called "msasm"?
bitpusher
