12 Must Have Tools when Fixing a Computer Infected by Virus 7,5 Mb



Whena good and powerful virus infects a computer, most likely it willdisable you from running Task Manager (taskmgr.exe), Registry Editor(regedit.exe), Command Prompt (cmd.exe), System Configuration Utility(msconfig.exe), configuring Folder Options and hide the Run from StartMenu. Reason the virus does that is because most of the time it is“possible” for computer experts to remove the virus by using thebuilt-in Windows programs without any third party tools.
But if youcan’t run Task Manager, you cannot end the suspicious process. Youcould use the taskkill command in command prompt to kill the processbut again you won’t be able to do that if CMD has been disabled.Perhaps you can run msconfig to stop the virus from auto startup butalso cannot because of the virus. For advance computer users who hasknowledge in registry and thought that they could manually remove thevirus auto startup entries there, they too can’t do anything about itif regedit has been disabled. Disabling of Folder Options is to stopyou from setting your computer to display hidden and system files. Thisway you can’t see the virus file and hence you won’t be able to deletethem.

It is easy to re-enable all those tools back by modifyingsome values in your registry but if the is still virus active in yourcomputer, the restrictions will be restored back. So for emergencycases, here are some replacement tools you can use to replace thedisabled Windows tools.

1. Task Managertaskmgr.exe Replacement

-

Task Manager is very important because that is where you get to see allthe running processes and also the amount of memory and CPU usage. Ifyou find anything suspicious there, you can try terminating it. If youcannot run Task Manager and get the error message “Task Manager hasbeen disabled by your administrator”, you can try using ProcessExplorer. It is portable and you can save it in your USB flash drive.


2. Registry Editorregedit.exe Replacement

-

Without the ability to access Windows registry, you cannot manuallymake any changes at all. You can however, import registry REG files.When a virus has disabled regedit, you should see the message “Registryediting has been disabled by your administrator” when you try to runit. A good regedit alternative is RegAlyzer, developed by the author ofthe famous SpyBot. RegAlyzer requires installation but you can copy thewhole RegAlyzer folder to your USB flash drive and run it as portableapplication.


3. Command Prompt cmd.exeReplacement

-

Command Prompt is a very powerful command line tool which supports alot of commands when you find it impossible to do it in Windows. If youtry to run cmd and get the following message “The command prompt hasbeen disabled by your administrator. Press any key to continue”, youcan try using GS. GS is a cmd replacement but it is a little old, datedback in year 2005. We’re not looking for a permanent replacement, so itis good enough as long as it can support some important command lines.Do take note that “Console2?, is an EXTENSION for command prompt. Ifcmd is disabled, Console2 won’t work. GS is small, free and portable.



4. Run Dialog BoxReplacement

-

Some virus will also remove the run command from your Start Menu and itis not easy to restore it back. Although this is not really important,but it could easily allow you to run important commands. Run dialogreplacement v1.0 is small, only 48KB in size and portable. If you haveProcess Explorer, you can also access the run command from File>Run, or just hit CTRL+R.


5. System ConfigurationUtility msconfig.exe Replacement

-

MSCONFIG is the first place that I will go to check if a computer has avirus. If you run msconfig and go to the Startup tab, it will list allprograms that will start when Windows is booted up using the commonstartup method. Virus makers are aware of this and usually they willeither delete your original msconfig.exe file or change the referencelocation in registry. You should get this message “Windows cannot find‘msconfig’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.”when type msconfig at the run dialog box. One very good msconfigalternative is definitely Autoruns, which is from the same author asProcess Explorer. Autoruns has the most comprehensive knowledge ofauto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programsare configured to run during system bootup or login.


6. Enable Show hiddenfiles and protected operating system files

-

I’ve tried many File Managers and most of them inherits the Show HiddenFiles and Folders or Hide protected operating system files from FolderOptions settings in Windows. If a virus is still active in memory, itwill keep on changing the settings to disable you from viewing hiddenand system files. I found one free file manager called FreeCommanderwhich is able to show you all hidden files and folders as well asprotected operating system files no matter what is the settings inFolder Options. It actually ignores the permission in Folder Options!It is portable, so you can also copy the whole extracted folder to yourUSB flash drive.
