I think i ve a virus that adds a .exe extension to files. I try to access the registry but then it restarts, can’t access msconfig either, can’t install any thing as it closes every window anytime one opens. Am at a loss bcoz I have data on the drive and I can’t format the whole disk, the virus lauches when i access the d partition. Please if i could know which virus this is and which antivirus can actually clean the files even if to delete them. I can I wipe the c drive and reinstall windows; but then i will need an antivirus that will eliminate the virus from the D drive. That is if there is no other way around it.
my computer restarts when i try accessing registry. there is also no turn off button now. I use XP Pro. Help?

how do i back up my d drive to clean hard drive?

my d drive is full how do i clean it and my hard drive
My D: drive keeps having errors. Files become corrupted, and for some reason it often finds problems with "File 25." I have run chkdsk on it in repair mode, but it hasn’t had any effect. Is there any other software that can go through a hard drive and find any problems and fix them more effectively than chkdsk?
This wasn’t happening until I "upgraded" to Windows Vista, so I don’t know for sure this is a hard drive issue and not some weirdness of Vista.
If I restore my Registry from a previous back up can I use that to bring back some files I accidentally erased

I accidentally erased my recovery partition in my D-Drive on my new laptop and I am desperate to recover that information as I recently erased some sensitive information. I was not supplied with a system restore disc when I purchased this laptop but was given the suggestion that I burn my own. So can I gain anything by restoring my registry from a previous backup?
What are the risks with running the Software repair wizard for a program that came with my computer?

Windows Movie Maker came with my computer, now it doesn't work (error/close every time I open it.) This happened because I installed a program that was made before XP existed (and at the end it told me that it may cause an error but wouldn't let me cancel)
Anyway, I uninstalled that other program but I want Windows Movie Maker back, so what are the risks when I run the software repair wizard that will repair the programs that came with my computer?
(Does it try to repair ALL programs, or will it let me choose one?)
(I have all that stuff from when i first got the computer– stored in my D drive for recovery)
(Unexpected error, "has to close")
I'm not worried about viruses, I'm worried about further software errors
some people are saying I should download it… But I already have it! I don't understand downloading it…
