C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmkhh.exe?

Today i scanned my pc in safe mode and rid it of a few viruses,now when i just logged in i saw this in a box..%26gt;%26gt;


WINDOWS CANNOT ACCESS THE SPECIFIC DEVICE,PATH OR FILE.YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE APPROPRIATE PERMITS TO ACCESS THE ITEM.





AND AFTER I CLICKED OK,THIS CAME UP...%26gt;%26gt;DESKTOP


COULD NOT LOAD OR RUN C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmkhh.exe SPECIFIED IN THE REGISTRY.MAKE SURE THE FILE EXISTS ON YOUR COMPUTER OR REMOVE THE REFERENCE TO IT IN THE REGISTRY.


does anyone know what i need to do? Thank you.

You have a very nasty problem.


Some time ago, a virus installed on your computer and infected this file. The antivirus found it and you deleted it. But notice something: it was in the system32 folder. There are located important files for your computer. Now that you deleted the virus, you also deleted the file...now your computer can't work properly because of that file.


Or maybe the virus caused the system to believe that was a important program. It seems that it ran at startup. Your operating system noticed that it doesn't run anymore and it alerted you.


There may be a part of it remained undeleted - in the registry. Go to Start-Run, type regedit and find the one linked to this "pmkhh" file. Get rid of it.


After that go to Start-Run, type msconfig. Click Startup. there will appear the programmes that run at startup. Check if there is any linked to the "pmkhh" file, if yes, uncheck it and click OK.


these are the only ideas I have.


Good luck!

Reply:Turn pc to safe mode with network and rescan for viruses,but first disable system restore. Simply restoring your pc to a day before will not remove this,it is a virus!
Reply:system restore to day before this started and all should be fine. good luck.
