    Microsoft Registry Server
    « on: November 23, 2014, 03:26:24 PM »
    Hi there;
    I keep getting a Microsoft Registry Server pop up that basically I have to *censored* down in order to use the computer again. Usually this happens when I use Internet Explorer.
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    SuperDave

    Hello and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

    1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
    2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
    3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
    4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
    5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
    6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
    7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

    If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.

    • Any recent changes done on the computer?

    This may usually happen due to data execution prevention.
    Try adding it in the exception for data execution prevention and check if it works.

    Step 1: Go to Start, Control Panel and click on System.
    Step 2: Now click on the Advanced tab and under Performance, click on Settings.
    Step 3: Click on Data Execution Prevention and select the Turn on DEP for all programs and services except for those I select: radio button.
    Step 4: Now click the Add button and browse to C:\Windows\System32 and choose the regsvr32.exe file. When you get the message stating it could make your computer become unprotected and vulnerable to attacks, just click OK to continue.
    Click OK and then click OK again to exit

    If the above steps fail then I would suggest that you check in the event viewer to know the cause of the error and post back with the details from the event viewer.

      I have done a malwarebytes scan and it came up with this blasted TROJAN.AGENT.ED virus again.

      AdwCleaner will now prompt you to save any open files or data as the program will need to reboot the computer. Please do so and then click on the OK button. AdwCleaner will now delete all detected adware from your computer. When it is done it will display an alert that explains what PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) and Adware are. Please read through this information and then press the OK button. You will now be presented with an alert that states AdwCleaner needs to reboot your computer.
      Please click on the OK button to allow AdwCleaner reboot your computer.A log will be produced. Please copy and paste this log in your next reply.

          Removed Java 7 Update 67.
          Did Eset Online Scanner - List of founds threats - 0. There was no text file to export. I couldn't find a log file with any date that was anywhere recent.
          Still, no threats found is a good thing. Right?
          Thanks

            I've been on the internet a few times now and no issues with the Microsoft Registry Server pop up. Should I do another virus scan from Malwarebytes now just to make sure there is no extra Trojan?

            You may keep MBAM on your computer and run it on a regular basis.

            Click Start> Computer> right click the C Drive and choose Properties> enter
            Click Disk Cleanup from there.



            Click OK on the Disk Cleanup Screen.
            Click Yes on the Confirmation screen.



            This runs the Disk Cleanup utility along with other selections if you have chosen any. (if you had a lot System Restore points, you will see a significant change in the free space in C drive)
