I have several programs that used to work fine, but now will only work in
safe mode. This includes msconfig. Can only run it in safe mode. Had
problems with the about:blank virus for a while. Everything worked well
before that. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Hi Brian,

You are not finished cleaning the virus (or viruses). They simply are not
running in Safe mode. That in itself is a good thing, as you may be able to
catch and remove them with a fully updated antivirus scanner - old virus
definitions only catch old viruses. You may also want to try running stinger
(again in Safe mode) from http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Thanks. I was hoping I was done with the virus. I run Spybot S&D, Adaware,
CWShredder and Stinger. The Stinger comes up with a Bagle.dll.gen virus and
can't fix it. I have renamed the file and things are working much better.
Any suggestions on how to actually get rid of the virus?

Hi,

Head to the web site of your AV program, most have volumes of pages on how
to remove the various buggers with their product, and how to remove them
manually as well.
