regedit window will not stay open

I have a three year old Compaq 333mhz Ayhlon processor 196MRAM.
I've been having trouble loading Norton System Works because there is a problem in my Registry files.
When I try to go to the registry files to correct the problem, then after I go to >RUN type in regedit... then the window just pops open then shuts down right away.
Is there any way to get the REGEDIT window to stay open?
Thanks,
Wildbull

Hi, and welcome to the board.

This is one of the things a virus like Yaha might do.

Start by running an online scan at Trend Micro HouseCall or Panda Active Scan

Next, go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads.php#startup , and download 'Startuplist'.

Unzip, doubleclick it, and it will generate a text file that will list all running processes, all applications that are loaded automatically when you start Windows, and more.

Go to Edit > select all, copy it and post the contents here.

going in circles here; ran Trend Micro Housecall as suggested, found 3 virus' and deleted them, by name they were JS NOCLOSE.H; Worm YaHa.k, and another Worm YaHa.k. They were deleted, as stated.

Downloaded Startuplist, obtained zipfile unzip wizard and when it tried to unzip the Startuplist got error message as follows: ' A required .DLL file MSVBM60.DLL was not found'; downloaded same zip file again thinking there might have been download error, unzipped and got same error message.

However, now regedit window stays open, so how do I recover the MSVBM60.DLL ?

Based on what I see in your startups, I don't know why you are having that problem with regedit.exe, you may need to restore a new copy of it. One thing you can try to get it to stay open is to run it in Safe Mode. To do that, press and hold the ctrl key immediately when starting up; then select safe mode from the startup menu. Run regedit and see if it stays open; if it doesn't I'd definitely replace it.

One thing I do see in your startups is that an old McAfee file is apparently running from autoexec.bat:

C:\PROGRA~1\MCAFEE\VIRUSS~1\SCANPM.EXE C:\

You can remove that by running sysedit and deleting the line, or you can run msconfig and simply uncheck the entry under the autoexec.bat tab.

I suspect this should be removed from startups as well:

NRunOnce.lnk = C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\NRunOnce.exe

The regedit window has stayed open since we did the virus scan.
we are getting a smoother boot now and it seems that with your help we have narrowed the mryid of problem down to just a few...daughters come home from college and open everything on the computer mail program. It keeps me busy after they leave though.
Thanks so much for your help!

Well , that looks pretty much OK, except for two weird entries in your Autoexec.bat:

c:\windows\system\verflop.com
c:\windows\system\verflop.com


Open your autoexec.bat in Notepad, and edit those two lines by inserting a ; at the beginning, so that they'll look like

; c:\windows\system\verflop.com
; c:\windows\system\verflop.com


Save in File, and close your Autoexec.bat.

That way Windows will not try to execute the file at startup.

Also have a look at the properties of this verflop.com file to see what it could possibly be.

Other than thay, I'd say you're clean.

Cheers,
