Hi,

I have a trojan and have run malware bytes quick scan. When I go to remove the infected files I get the following message, please advise on how I re-enable regedit:

"Regedit has been disabled by the Administrator"

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

I have completed the above, but when I try removing the infected files I get the "Regedit has been disabled by the Administrator" message. I'm sure others have experienced this issue, is someone able to point me to the relevant post?

We do not work on Malware in the General forum. That is what the HJT forum is for so that someone with experience can assist you. Often its due to a policy change and we do not need or use Regedit for removing Malware so what you're responding about doesn't seem to make sense.

Please follow the directions I've provided you with for seeking advice in the HJT forum

Thank you.
