If you open regedit it will open for just a second and
close right back. I was wondering if anyone has seen
this problem and knows how to overcome it? I am having a
problem using my digital camera programs. I was told by
Canon to go into regedit and fix some things there. I am
not that computer savy and need to know what to do and
what not to do. Please e-mail me at (e-mail address removed).

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
Sorry to tell you this but you could be infected with a virus, I'll try not to
confuse you too much

This utility will help you gain control of the Regedit

I would recommend a online virus scan from either one or two of the below
companies, also download McAfee Avert Stringer.


Downloadable McAfee AVERT Stinger:
Stinger: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a
substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist
administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes
next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally
signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.

Perhaps an online security/virus check

Greetings --

The type of behavior you describe is typical behavior of more than
one virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez

W32.Yaha
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected]

W32.Spybot.Worm
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html

Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the
Spybot mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose
definitions aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free
on-line scanners to double-check your system.
