Hi!

So i just used a program called registry easy, its for cleaning registry files.

I found an interesting tab in program called optimize system.

So I accidently used it and now there are those stupid ugly blue yellow admin shields on almost every icon. I have UAC disabled but how can i get rid of these shields, I am administrator of that computer.

Ive been looking for solutions everywhere but i havent found any.

So yeah can anyone tell me how i can get rid of these shields or even better roll back the changes what i made with optimize system.

Thanks, Trance!
 
not yet, i try it thanks

EDIT: It didnt worked theyre still there, i restarted and everything

You most likely have malware on your system. Please do the following.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here or here and save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Please keep updating until it says you have the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • A log will be saved automatically which you can access by clicking on the Logs tab within Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

If for some reason Malwarebytes will not install or run please download and run Rkill.scr, Rkill.exe, or Rkill.com. If you are still having issues running rkill then try downloading these renamed versions of the same program.

EXPLORER.EXE
IEXPLORE.EXE
USERINIT.EXE
WINLOGON.EXE

But DO NOT reboot the system and then try installing or running Malwarebytes. If Rkill (which is a black box) appears and then disappears right away or you get a message saying rkill is infected, keep trying to run rkill until it over powers the infection and temporarily kills it. Once a log appears on the screen, you can try running malwarebytes or downloading other programs.



Download the HijackThis installer from here.
Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis.

Click Do a system scan and save a logfile

Most of what HijackThis lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

When the hijackthis log appears in a notepad file, click on the edit menu, click select all, then click on the edit menu again and click on copy. Come back to your reply and right click on your mouse and click on paste.

Post the logfile that HijackThis produces along with the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log

I don't keep track of the threads each user makes. Most odd ball registry programs on the net are actually rogue malware programs.

You don't need to install a registry program for one. You are asking for problems anyway. The only cleaner program you need is Ccleaner. But do you what you want. Just trying to keep you from having headaches as in this case.

hv man, i cant make myself the system restore point my sh*t computer wont let me. Any ideas?

Are you sure right click my computer > properties > system protection > click system restore > click next > then show more restore points if there is one before the problems started occurring restore to that point.

Also please be nicer to john he could be right and that program you used could possibly have contained malware.

The System Restore button is greyed out, btw i got avast! internet security if avast even blocks harmful sites then im quite sure it wont let any viruses through, and if theres a suspect program it will run it in sandbox.

Ive already done this step john recommends like 2-3 times.
 
Sounds like malware alright. Do as john posted, and don't use registry programs, they are worthless. The only I would trust is CCleaner.
 
i dont get it how can it be a malware, only thing changed in my computer is those god deamn admin shields before icons, they are just visual and i wanna get rid of them.
and i´ve never had system restore on because i just cant make it, its like that straight after i brought it home from shop
 
Either use Ccleaner to thoroughly remove all traces of the program, or do some googling on how to manually remove it. Does the problem still occur in Safe Mode? If not, identify which service the program is running.

If the problem persists, malware is very probably - any program that hides itself from an uninstall / manual removal is malware, to me.

Safe mode > Download and update malwarebytes > full scan > restart
 
First, Registry Easy is the clone of known rogueware "Registry Great", please check the following page:

http://www.411-spyware.com/remove-registry-great-v5-0

http://www.spywaredetector.net/spywa...ry Great.htm

http://www.pcthreat.com/parasitebyid-6838en.html

And there is a page that tell us how to remove Registry Easy:

http://www.scanspyware.net/info/RegistryEasy.htm

So, we can confirm that Registry Great is a fake registry cleaner too, it gives misleading result to get users to purchase it. Full of fake errors and alarm, it's a rogueware. IN actual fact its scareware, requiring your to pay for it if you want the changes undone.

Settle down with the profainity mate, and to be honest, Trance you own an apology to John imho. That was the first thing i thought of too. Many malware distributes use 'likely sounding' 'helpful' software as a way to get the malware on your system. Over 80% of malware requires user acceptance and in this case I suggest you scan your system as you've been pwned!
