REPAIR REGISTRY PERMISSIONS

<< < (3/9) > >>

Shane:
That is VERY strange.

ok so 1 of 2 reasons it could be.

1. The permissions where unable to be changed by the repair. If that's the case we can change them manually. Go to the root and change the permissions, go to advanced. There set the permissions you need and tell it to apply it to child objects.

2. If the permissions are changed but being changed back then you might have a rootkit or hidden infection. Running tdsskiller.exe and combofix may not be a bad idea :wink:

tweakyman:
Yes, I have actually used tdskiller.exe a few times.

I have heard that running combofix can be quite dangerous for your machine, is this true?

I think you may have to take me through setting them manually set by step Shane, as I find the whole thing pretty confusing.  :sad:

Shane:
I use combofix a lot. Haven t had any trouble, but that doesn't always mean you wont. So your call on that one :wink:

First lets manually change the permissions, reboot and see if they get changed back. If they do then we will see what to do next.

This will work for any version of windows

Let me know how it goes :wink:

Hello Shane

Well I downloaded and ran Combofix; everything seemed OK. I had a look at that Microsoft article link you gave me, unfortunately I didn't understand how to go about it, so I just used your all-in-one repair program once more, but alas still getting the error messages.

Allan

Shane:
Did you check the permissions after the repair and before the reboot?
