Hey guys,

After the recent worm threats I got, I am scared of losing my PC and this is all because of the 3 main things getting disabled:

RegEdit, Task Manager & Command Prompt

Any software which prevents this from getting disabled so that a worm or virus cant disable it??

You can lock-down your PC.

thanks mate.. it helped me but any software is available??

[lunarlander]

If you are running in a limited account, I believe those kinds of system wide changes will not be possible. So theorectically no additional software is needed to prevent those changes.

Yea, but if I am not in a limited account, then is there any way to prevent these 3 softwares from getting disabled?? Your earlier link, lunarlander, was mainly talking about preventing your PC from a virus but it told nothing of RegEdit, Task Manager and Command Prompt.

Here is a VB script that re-Enables registry editing.

Once you run that, you will have access to the registry again via Regedit. Then you can correct the other 2 registry entries regarding TaskManger and Command Prompt. I googled 'registry entry disable command prompt/task manager' to find the keys to edit.

Okay thanks a lot for the link and your time.

If I ever face a virus, the first step I will do is this (hope the virus wont disable it!!)
