My anti-virus software is the free version of AVG (v6.0) and
I am aware it is not the best of deterrants. I have run AVG
6.0 as well as Trend Microsoft's Online Antivirus program
and neither picked up any virus in my C:\Windows folder.
Thanks for pointing out that the three new utilities are
stored in C:\EmergencyUtils. I am still wondering how I can
restore the status quo for the original three .exe files
when my virus detectors do not report any virus in their
parent folders.

| What do you have for Anti Virus software??
| What Virus did/do you have??
| ==========
|
| taskmgr.exe belongs in both of these:
| C:\WINDOWS\system32
| C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
| ===
|
| regedit.exe belongs in both of these:
| C:\WINDOWS
| C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
| ===
|
| msconfig.exe belongs in both of these:
| C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
| C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries
| ===
|
| Taskmgr1.exe
| Regedit.com
| MSConfig1.exe
| should all be in:
| C:\EmergencyUtils
| =========
|
| You do not need to remember where they are, once your
virus is kaput.
|
| Start | Run | Type: regedit | OK
| opens the Registry Editor.
|
| Start | Run | Type: msconfig | OK
| opens the System Configuration Utility.
|
| Right-click an empty space on the taskbar, and then click
Task Manager.
| Ctrl + Alt + Delete
| Ctrl + Shift + Esc
| Start | Run | taskmgr | OK
|
| All of these will open theTask Manager.
