cant update antivirus/windows firewall not working

makavalen — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:20:39 +0800

my system is completely messed up right now....i cant update my AVG 8.0; it seems dat everytime i try to update it says dat i am not connected to the internet....so i uninstalled my AVG 8.0 and installed malwarebytes instead and it still gives the same error prompt saying i am not connected to the internet...the funny thing is i am connected to the internet 24/7...and so i thought maybe it was my firewall was blocking it from connecting to the internet...when i click on windows firewall. another error prompt up "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings." so i did a lil bit googling which leads to delete a few registry keys which is the following :-

so i deleted the keys which overrides the antivirus and windows, after reopening my registry editor the keys is there again...i even used Spybot SD to scan and remove it, but it appeared again when i did a re-scan...this happens over and over again and its really really very frustrating...is this caused by a virus or whatsoever...??? i am really out of ideas...some one pls help me...i dont wanna resort to reformatting my PC...one more thing, my pc was eventually blocked access to any antivirus related websites including microsoft...

is this caused by a virus..? pls help...

makavalen — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 22:46:40 +0800

To Stop Windows Explorer from opening My Documents: Check your settings here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

In the right pane under Userinit - Change the key that reads:

C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe
To:
C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,

mine was fine and was not changed at all.....
