I have XP Pro and had the welchia and blaster worms. they were removed but now I can't get the Registry to stay open. If it type regedit in Run, it flashes really quickly and closes. Anyone know how to fix this? I can't find any fixes on this for XP so far..

any help would be great. thanks!
 
It sounds like you have some residual issues from your virus.

Do two online virus scans to be sure it is not another virus, and if the problem persists download Hijack This! and post the log here.

. Online antivirus cans from smah's FAQ: faq760-3862
. Hijack This!:
 
Have you used System Restore since you removed this virus? You might have reinfected yourself if you didn't remove all the old restore points.
 
thanks guys. will try it and see what happens. I also have not done a system restore..
