problem with anti virus
hi,

I had installed more than one anti virus on my computer and then got to knw that more than one anti virus on a computer hinders the processing speed.. I uninstalled all of them and installed comodo anti virus and internet security after that there were certain restrictions on my computer... i lost access to control panels.... i couldnt access any website and folders that had the word anti virus in it.... i tried deleting the registry entries of all the anti viruses and the error message says "access denied. Make sure that ur drive is not full or write protected".. am not able to delete certain registry entries and not able to install any other anti virus either.. Now the threat of malwares are high cos i dont hav an anti virus on my system... wat do i do now?

please help me with this.

Regards

If you are running XP then you go to administrator account in Safe mode and from there you try to edit the registry and remove the program from Control panel.

There's a chance that you may have gotten infected after removing your two antivirus programs and going to the Web for Comodo. The other possibility is that you uninstalled Norton, if you had it, without using the Norton Removal Tool. You shouldn't play with the registry as you may delele important files by mistake.
