Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) when posting to
this newsgroup.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

windows xp version 5.1 media center edition. I have McaFee and it is up to
date, I also have Surf Secret and pc tools spyware doctor. The McAfee
Firewall is on. The add /remove worked 2 days ago. I have since had a bout
with "Widows Police Pro" and had to quarentine it.

Not sure where I got directed to use that approach, your method from run
(system root%etc) worked. When I try to open it from control panel I get an
hour glass for about a second, then nothing.

Read the instructions at the top of the page.

However, since you've been dealing with "Widows [sic] Police Pro" I'd say
you're still seeing the effects of a hijackware infection and you've got
much more work to do.

NB: If you had no anti-virus application installed or the subscription had
expired *when the machine first got infected* and/or your subscription has
since expired and/or the machine's not been kept fully-patched at Windows
Update, don't waste your time with any of the below: Format & reinstall
Windows. A Repair Install will NOT help!

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwa ... fault.mspx

NB: Run the FULL scan, not the QUICK scan! You may need to download the
MSRT on a non-infected machine, then transfer MRT.EXE to the infected
machine and rename it to SCAN.EXE before running it.

2. [WinXP ONLY!! =>] Run the Windows Live Safety Center's 'Protection' scan
(only!) in Safe Mode with Networking, if need be:
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm

3. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting requested logs
in an appropriate forum, not here.

Checking for/Help with Hijackware:
?

My virus program never lapsed, nor was it inactive, yet I got police pro
twice this week. I also ran pc tools spyware doctor, is this not sufficient?
The police pro appears gone. All widows updates have been kept current

No, that was not sufficient, I can assure you. This type of infection
installs other Bad Guys (e.g., Vundo; SDBot-variants) which few, if any,
anti-virus/anti-spware applications can detect and remove. Moreover, these
infections tend to render all security application useless.

Are you running McAfee Security Center (usually a freebie from your ISP) by
any chance?

How to fix "Add or Remove Programs".

Register these DLL's then create and merge a registry file:

1. Close all programs.

2. Open the Run box and enter, one at a time:

regsvr32.exe actxprxy.dll
regsvr32.exe appwiz.cpl
regsvr32.exe Browseui.dll
regsvr32.exe jscript.dll
regsvr32.exe mshtml.dll
regsvr32.exe msxml.dll
regsvr32.exe Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32.exe scrrun.dll
regsvr32.exe Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32.exe Shell32.dll
regsvr32.exe URLMON.dll
regsvr32.exe vbscript.dll

3. Copy below and paste into Notepad.

----------copy inside only----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
@="ClassMoniker"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\InprocServer32]
@="ole32.dll"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProgID]
@="clsid"

----------copy inside only----------

4. Save-as ARPFix.reg (or any name + .reg)

5. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.

6. Restart your computer.



This program will fix the "Add or Remove Programs" whitespace
problem.

the uninstall area of the registry or a bad icon file."

Thanks for your help.
I made it through #1 and 2. I entered all the dll's 1 at a time through run.
The rest has me a little confused. I do not know how to merge into
registry editor, nor can I find that in my pc.
I saved # 3, can you tell me exactly how to complete the rest, and do I have
to start all over?

It's easy. Copy the text between the lines, then paste it into
Notepad. Save it as "ARPFix.reg" to your Desktop. Just
double-click the "ARPFix.reg" file to merge it into the registry.
