Re: defrag, msconfig, Nero only run in Safe Mode -- PLEASE HELP

You said "Panda Antivirus online scan and NOD32 on-demand report
a password stealer, "pwdump2" in my Recycle Bin. No other problems.",

Have you emptied your Recycle Bin.? If yes have you turned System
Restore OFF and then ON?

Run your Panda Anti-Virus with updated definitions in Safe Mode. Does
show clean?

Hope this helps.

Thank you, but I don't believe my system is infected:

1. The value of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetDDE\ImagePath
is
%SystemRoot%\system32\netdde.exe

2. There's a "Start" REG_DWORD with a value of "0x00000003 (3)" but no
"Start 2"

3. I can't find a file named REGEDIT32.EXE anywhere (displaying hidden and
system files is enabled).

4. I can't find any unusual emails in the Sent Items of either my default
mail client, my browser, or Outlook Express.

5. According to an online test, ports 1433 and 1434 are stealthed on my
computer.


Any hints, tips or suggestions regarding the problem of msconfig, defrag
and
Nero only working in Safe Mode? I unknowingly wiped my System Restore
points
when I chose one of the Safe Mode options. From past experience, I am sure
a
repair install would not help and I would rather not format and reinstall
because this seems fixable and most programs work fine anyway.
