Need help with registry cleaning after malware removal

I've just finished malware removal with the 'fantastic' Chaslang and he recommended that I post here for a registry clean up.

I also have to ask why C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe is running?
I keep getting a pop up for MS Office 2000 SR1 telling me I'm trying to install a feature which is on the master CDrom disk. It happens very often when I'm surfing.

Once again, thank you in advance for your assistance - it is very much appreciated.

Hello Sutartie485.

Well it seems that possibly your MS Office 2000 may still be installed in your PC.
Few questions first. Do you use MS Office 2000 at all? If not, I'd suggest removing it, and that should fix that issue, if you do. We can still assist. Also, why the MSIexec.exe is running, its probably due to the fact of why its prompting you for an install Medium. MSIexec.exe is used for installing/uninstalling programs. Its used also for when installing with the .msi extension.

Hope this sheds some light.

 

Thank you. Yes I use Office 2000 - mostly Word & Excel and would like to keep it. Also get an error when I open Word sometimes.

 

Yeah. Unfortunately, DomLuc is correct. Your best bet if you don't still have the medium is to possibly try to see if we can get you setup with other software that does the same thing, as DomLuc has mentioned, I use OpenOffice all the time at home. Really great software 4.5/5

 

True, and I apologize to Open Office, and their creators.
Terribly wonderful application, but the reason why I stated unfortunately, is because he's already used to Office 2000. But, don't worry. Open Office ain't much of a change from the M$ Office Suite.

 

D/Loaded Open Office - like it, all an old yin needs! - dumped MS Office.
Thank you (You guys are great)

 

No Problem, have a great one. Enjoy Oo.org
