Swen and registry editors

[Jim]

Hi, I have an account that got hit by the swen bug. I ran
the repair tool, but I am still not able to open the
registry entry under the user. It tells me that the
editor has been disabled by the administrator.

I ran grpedit.msc from the admin account as well as the
user's infected account. Tells me it is not configured,
but still can't see what I need.

Help please

Hi

Have you tried to run Symantec's W32.Swen.A@mm Removal Tool (FixSwen.exe)?
