Hello,

Try this 1.

Follow the below steps to remove the katrinascandal.vbs

First you need to download the below applicatons. Click on the below links

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Click on start --> In search box, type notepad and press Enter.

Notepad will be opened. Copy the below commands starting from cd \ and

ending at del, paste it in the notepad and save it as fix.bat.

Note : Don't forget the extension .bat and make sure you save the file on the desktop

-------------------------------------------------

Open the following applications, but don't close it after opening

1) Install the regalyz in your PC --> Open it by going to Start --> Programs -->

Safer Networking --> RegAlyzer

2) Extract the process explorer and double-click on "procexp" --> click on

"Agree". Now you can list of processes.

3) Click on start --> In search box, type msconfig and press "Enter".

"System Configuration Utility" will be opened --> Click on "Startup" tab.

Here you should be quick enough for the 3 steps as there is a timer allocated

in that script.

So, first

i) In "Process Explorer" window --> Right-click on the "wscript.exe" process

and select the option "Kill Process Tree".

ii) In "System Configuration Utility" --> In "Startup" tab --> uncheck the

checkbox "AdobeCS4.vbs" --> Click on OK.

iii) Run the fix.bat file.

Since you are using windows 7, right-click on fix.bat --> Select the option "Run

as Administrator".

4) In RegAlyzer, at the top you can find the Search box, copy each registy lines

in the below steps --> paste it and press Enter.

Or you can go manually at the left-side.

i) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

At the right-side, select "DisableTaskMgr" and press the "Del" key and select

"Yes to all"

Select "DisableRegistryTools" and press the "Del" key and select "Yes to all"

ii) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

At the right-side, select "NoFolderOptions" and press the "Del" key and select

"Yes to all"

Double-click on "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" change the value from 128 to 255.

iii) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

At the right-side, double-click on the "Hidden" file and change from 1 to 2.

iv) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

If you find the file "AdobeCS4.vbs" or "AdobePhotoshopCS4", delete it.

Now you should be able to open task manager.

Good Luck.

Hello,
You can post it in the windows form.
What about your registry editor ? Are you able to open it. If you are having problem with it then
Use RegAlyzer and go to this location once again
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
At the right side, select "DisableRegistryTools" and press the "Del" key and click on "Yes to all"
Good Luck.
