I am verymuch thankful for this post.
As my desktop really suffered with this Amvo.exe..corrupting some applicationsaptdnx
Hey dude! Thanks a million for that hidden folder stuff! I knew it was somewhere in the registry, but couldn't know where exactly and was about to go insane!
Thanks a bunch again!
Your welcome dudes.. Thank you for the post..
Thx Man ..
It worked
u saved me
Absolutely AMAZING advice. Thank you so much!!! I wasted so many hours reading other sites and downloading software that didn't do anything!
Yeah thank you for the comments..
hiii bro... i tried info from many sites and was able to delete the virus with the help of Mcafee..after some manual changes in config. however, one problem persisted that hidden file were still not showing..in folder option the "dont show hidden fle" ws checked but there no option for "show all hidden file " as is seen normally..After your this wonderful advice, I could uncheck "dont show hidden file" box. but i still cannot see "show all hidden files" option... please help dude!!
Have you follow the procedure above? Try to go msconfig to uncheck some anonymous program running to your system..(etc. amvo, d.com)
Or you can try this:
Look the location entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon, in the entry named: SHELL, a value = Explorer.exe,SCVHOST.EXE. Edit this value, delete the SCVHOST.EXE only and the value must be Explorer.exe. Once you delete all this value, your computer will not login anymore.
Waiting for your response..
Well.. I am able to uncheck "dont show hidden files". But where is the option "Show all hidden files".. earlier there were too options.. but only one option we can see... If the other option is not visible... we will not be able to hide files and see again as per our wish!!
perhaps it has something to do with the missing value "@shell32.dll,-30500" in registry.. Please check and guide.
at step 5 i could see hidden files, but after one minute they disappear and i can see none.
i am going crazy.....
Your instructions are clear and I was able to solve this problem on my machine. Thanks a million for your very clear and easy to understand instructions.
Thank you Tim,
About an hour ago, i was infected by this virus (probably because of my recently visits to some crack-serial sites :P)...
Thx to u i get rid of it once and for all - GOD BLESS U MAN
When I was trying to make the value 1 for Hidden a few seconds later it would revert back to 2.
Also when i go to folder options then click 'Show hidden files and folders' it dosn't and goes back to 'Do not show hidden files or folders'.
What do i do?
I followed everything,and was able to enable to show the hidden files, but when it came to the part wherein I have to delete the files that you have enumerated, I cannot find them on their respective folders. I need help on this one. Thanks!
nice post dude, i should thank you
ummm...Houston, we got a problem
i got that same problem as Mr.anonymous(May 29, 2008 1:12 AM) said. The value in [current user] went back to [2] and [local machine] went back to [0]
it'd be very lovely if i can get any solution about this from you
