It worked…. Thanks so much 2-viruses
I ran the automatic removal program and it got rid of the ave.exe problem; however, I had to run every program in administrative mode, which would not let me access many files within certain programs. After removing my webroot anti-virus and restoring (or trying to) the system, I cannot even log onto most websites using ie. I also cannot access the registry editor (regedit).
I had to download firefox from a previous download that was stored on my computer. Please help me undo the auto-program, so that I might be able to fix the new problems.
@Anthony Tony
I read your problem with Smart Security on the 2-viruses website. I seem to be having the same problem as you with being unable to use IE, etc. Did you ever get it figured out? Could you help me out? Thanks, Nic.
Nicole: Spyware Doctor should take care of it as of now. The Virus is not quite new.
If it fails, we have a tutorial how to reenable registry editor. One needs to fix registry keys responsible on how programs are executed then.
