Task Manager and Regedit disabled

I have found that I cannot open task manager or regedit. When I right-click on the task bar, Task Manager is greyed-out. Ctrl+Alt+Del displays a message "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator".

 

When I type Regedit in the run command box, this error is displayed: "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator."

 

I suspect malware in both cases. Can someone please advise me.

 

Thanks.

    This is a different computer. I noticed the problem whilst we were troubleshooting the other pc, hence the new thread. I wanted to focus on fixing the other one before concentrating on this one. Hope that clarifies things.

    Hi Bugbatter,

     

    I was wondering if you were able to assist with my investigation, please?

     

    Thanks,

    If it is for the other computer, please reply in that thread. If you want me to help with this computer, please post a Hijackthis log for this one as a reply here.

    I do not want to get the two mixed up.

    If System Restore is disabled, please enable it.

    Please remove Kontiki and any other P2P's. The nature of such software and the high incidence of malware in files downloaded with them is counter productive to restoring your PC to a healthy state. There is a list here:    http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/19241146/19367569.aspx#19367569

    Let's run MBAM on this one as well. Here are some new download instructions:

    Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
    alternate download link 1
    alternate download link 2

    • Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
    • Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
    • When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
    • When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
      • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
      • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • Then click Finish.

    MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.

    • If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself.
    • Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
    • If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates,
    • manually download them from here
      and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.
      Alternatively, you can update through MBAM's interface from a clean computer,
      copy the definitions (rules.ref) located in
      C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes'
      Anti-Malware from that system to a usb stick or CD and then copy it to the infected machine.

    On the Scanner tab:

    • Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
    • Then click on the Scan button.
    • If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
    • The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top.
    • It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
    • When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully.
    • Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
    • Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.

    Back at the main Scanner screen:

    • Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
    • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    • When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
    • The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
    • Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.
    • Include a fresh hijackThis log as well.

    Note:-- If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,
    you may be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process.
    Regardless if prompted to restart the computer or not, please do so immediately.
    Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

    -- MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine.
    If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes (like Spybot's Teatimer),
    they may interfere with the fix or alert you after scanning with MBAM.
    Please disable such programs until disinfection is complete or permit them to allow the changes.

    I was unable to remove Kontiki as I could not load Task Manager to end the kservice.exe and khost.exe processes first. Following the MBAM scan and removal of selected items, I was able to load Task Manager. Khost.exe was listed and I ended this process. Kservice.exe was not listed in TM. I then tried to remove the Kontiki folder from Program Files but it said that Khost.exe was still in use by another person or program.

    I rebooted the computer and launched Task Manager. Both processes were listed so I ended them and then I was able to delete the Kontiki folder.

     Here is the MBAM log:

    Open a command prompt:

    Click start >run > type cmd and hit Enter

    Into the command window type the following command, hit Enter 

    sc delete KService


    Then reboot.

    After that please post a fresh Hijackthis log and let me know if things are back to normal yet.
