Re: Constant Warnings - The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effec

I couldn't scan with kaspersky because it said that i don't have the latest Java, even though i do.

Did you disable a lot of services using msconfig?
No I didn't.

Re: Constant Warnings - The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effec

Hi,

What browser did you use to do the kaspersky scan? If you used firefox, please use IE instead.


*please answer this question:

Quote:
*Did you turn automatic updates off?

*click start > run > msconfig

Go to the services tab then click the enable all button. That should bring back all those services.

When it asks if you want to reboot, click exit without restarting.


*Open HijackThis > choose Scan Only > Place a checkmark in the boxes beside these entries in bold.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [797B807E81828483] 15171C1A1D1E20.exe

Close your browsers and all open windows except for HijackThis, then click "Fix checked".

Click "main menu"
  • Click on the tab "Misc Tools."
  • Click on "Delete File on Reboot."
  • copy and paste this - C:\WINDOWS\system32\15171C1A1D1E20.exe
  • HJT asks you if you want to reboot, now. Click "Yes".

Let me know how it goes.

reg delete "HKLM\software\policies\microsoft\windows\windowsupdate\au" /v NoAutoUpdate /f

Re: Constant Warnings - The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effec

After the reboot, a message popped up saying that something was change and that i should reboot the computer to undo that change. But I just cancelled out.

And I still can't scan.

Now it says: "Starting Java applet has failed! Please go online to use this program."
Another prompt comes up saying that the program has failed to launch...

Re: Constant Warnings - The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effec

Please run the tool HERE to clean all the leftovers of your Norton Antivirus..

Did you try the scan using IE? If it still won't work, use this one instead:

Go here to run an online scannner from ESET.
  • Note: You will need to use Internet explorer for this scan
  • Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
  • Click Start
  • When asked, allow the activex control to install
  • Click Start
  • Make sure that the option Remove found threats is unticked, and the option Scan unwanted applications is checked
  • Click Scan
  • Wait for the scan to finish
  • Use notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
  • Copy and paste that log as a reply to this topic, along with a new HijackThis log and a description of any remaining problems

Re: Constant Warnings - The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effec

Which scan are you referring to?

The file may be big and so the scan will take some time. Please try to wait for it and if it continues to stop there for a long time, let me know.

Re: Constant Warnings - The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effec

KasperSky won't even open in IE because it can't start the Java Applet. However, in Firefox it downloads those updates needed, but the acutal scan doesn't take place because of the same reason, Java Applet won't start. And I've redownloaded Java and it still won't work.

The Eset Scan starts and everything, however, it stops on that file I mentioned prior. I search for that file and discovered it was in a Symantec folder.

About the Symantec Antivirius, the link you gave me doesn't uninstall symantec, only norton. I discovered this because when I used the Norton Removal Tool in safe mode (it wouldn't work normally) it said that Symantec had to be uninstalled through the "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel. Oddly enough, when I tried to uninstall it again it said there was a fatal error due to a file called: APQA.tmp . weird huh? Sorry about having such a weirdo computer...

Re: Constant Warnings - The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effec

Please try to delete that APQA.tmp file and see if symantec av would uninstall correctly. If it won't work, please let me know what kind of symantec av is installed (ie. Exact name of product and version)

I have Symantec Antivirus
Full Version: 10.0.2.2000


I found this to manually uninstall Symantec.
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05050210381448

Should i use it?

Re: Constant Warnings - The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effec

Yes, that's the right one. The procedure requires a lot of registry editing. A little mistake could be fatal.

Have you tried deleting that APQA.tmp file first before uninstalling? If it won't work, I'm going to make a batch file to automate the process for you.
