"...registry key that has been marked for deletion"

russellme · Aug 17, 2009

I ran ComboFix because my computer had some serious virus. I found ComboFix through another site and did not see the disclaimer about using it under the instruction of professionals.

The virus i had before showed up on AVG as Trojan Horse Crypt.EML. However, AVG couldn't get rid of it. The site i found just told me just to run ComboFix and it would work.

Anyways, ComboFix ran fine and generated a log report.

However, now all my programs won't work and instead say "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion" whenever i try to open them.

I attached the log report.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

Can somebody please help me fix this???

Thanks-

Welcome to MajorGeeks!

You may have picked up one of the most recent nasty infections going around that infects some key Windows Operating system files which is the reason why various tools will not run. We need to find out which file has been infected (probably scecli.dll or netlogon.dll) and repair them. To that end, please run MGtools.exe as instructed in the below link:

Using MGtools

After it finishes, attach the MGlogs.zip file that is requested. This will help us find out which file has been corrupted and will also help us locate a possible replacement copy on your PC.
