Is this harmful?HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\firefox.exe
Malwarebytes anti malware detects it..i already quarantined and deleted it but when i scan again,it's still there..when i delete again,it comes back again, i asked this since it is about firefox..HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\firefox.exe..please answer..thank you
Hi,
I think a normal installation of Firefox doesn't specify any options. Some possibilities could be Microsoft EMET or another similar mitigation application (good), a debugging application (good), or Windows malware (bad). The dedicated security forums would also be helpful:

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run/Live Update 5
When i run Trojan Killer (computer scanner) it shows up that the following string :HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run/Live Update 5: has a "Target not found" error, and needs to be removed, but when i go into regedit and go to
that spot, there is no Live Update 5 there? so what am i supposed to remove ? o.OCasper
1. Junkware Removal Tool (JRT) is a unique little program that searches for and removes common adware, toolbars and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) from your computer.
Download JRT.exe (make sure nothing else is downloaded) from the author’s site here
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool/
It runs in a command window and can take up to ten minutes to complete. Don’t interrupt it if it appears to be doing nothing, particularly when it’s checking the registry. You may have to right-click the shortcut and choose ‘Run as administrator’. A log
file is created on the Desktop and both the program (JRT.exe) and the log file can be deleted when you’ve eventually finished with it.
2. In the unlikely event that JRT doesn’t find the culprit, read and then download AdwCleaner by clicking Download Now at BleepingComputer, here
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ Make sure you download AdwCleaner and not any of the other ‘foistware’ on the page.
Simply follow the website instructions to run it, i.e. close all open programs, including internet browsers, then double-click on Adwcleaner.exe. It doesn’t take very long to run and when you have finished with it, run it again and click Uninstall to remove
everything including the log files.

Many infected computers (Windows 7 Home Basic etc.) have different value on System (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon), like this
System = "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\22.exe" - (this infected value)
Where can I see all legal keys on brach HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon for Windows 7, as I see on Windows 7 Home Basic (not infected) isn't key System (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon).
Could anyone from Microsoft Support say clearly and precisely if key "System" is legal or not for OS: Windows 7.
P.S. On Windows XP, I know that key "System" ((HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon))is legal.No, the key, System, is not a part of default configuration and has been created by the malware. You can delete the key. Winlogon contains the settings and details of files that needs to be loaded when a user logs in. Malwares usually create a value entry
here or modify an existing entry to match their custom configuration. The key is important, so kindly keep the same. But as for the entries, check each entry and remove/modify the ones that point to any malware file (usually have strange location, like C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\22.exe,
as in your case).
In addition to Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, you can also run MalwareBytes from the following link:
https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/
Before deleting the key, be sure to take a backup of the Registry. Refer the link for more information:

Can I delete the key as below?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\LanguagePack\OpenType
At Windows XP,if I want to run my application,I have to delete the key.But at Windows 7,when I delete the key,notepad.exe can't work.
Please tell me the use of the key?Many thanks.
By the way,
Opening notepad is no problem,but when I input something,there is error dialog with the message of "notepad is stopped,please end it or debug it"
The application I run is a VC++ program that was developped by visual stuido.Because my application uses peculiar font,without deleting the key,when I run my application, a ruled line can't be displayed rightly.That is to say,I got messy code.Would you please tell me how can I use my font without messy code?Many thanks.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb688134.aspx
i believe that's the font that notepad uses. i wonder whether using the instructions above if you could change the font.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].Hello,
This seems not related to SQL Server but more related to Fusion or a missing DLL. The following resources may help you:

The title says it all somehow my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\Repository got deleted so i need someone to send me theirs (windows 8 only please!) This has
caused all apps to be disabled so please HELP. Thanks in advance!I fixed it myself.
You have to create a new user account. Now you might say that this is impossible due to the fact that the "PC Settings" app is disabled, but you can use the command prompt an a workaround.
1st step: right-click the bottom left of your screen and select "Command Prompt (Admin)"
2nd step: type "net user /add NEWUSERNAME NEWPASSWORD" without the quotes and hit enter
3rd step: if you get the success message type "net user NEWUSERNAME /active on
Now Logoff and go to your new account and apps should work!
You might to remove your old account from control panel and user accounts. There is an option to save the files from your old account to the desktop of your new account. Hope this helps you. -
I was trying to disable autorun on my labtop using the registry but the following registry folder is missing on my system:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Is this normal?As Frederik pointed out, this is perfectly normal. Also, unless you are extremely familiar with creating/editing registry keys, I recommend not making any changes directly to the Registry Keys.
If you are proficient, then you can create your own registry key so that you can set the user setting you wanted to.
BUT BE WARNED a bad registry key can seriously damage your computer
Thank you for the response. I just want to confirm, since I have the Explorer folder in the HKEY_Local_Machine
folder but not in the HKEY_Current_User folder I shouldn't have to create a new registry key for the Current User folder, Correct? -
Can anyone tell me what the possible values are for the CurrentState value of a package under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages
For Example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_1_for_KB2900986~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.1
"CurrentState"=dword:00000070
I believe that this equates to "Installed", but I am looking for somewhere that documents this.
I located http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc756248%28v=ws.10%29.aspx and the related events pages show values like 0, 4, 5, 6, 7. Not x00000070 (112) etc
Thanks In Advance
JimHi Jim,
Thank you for your post.
From your description, I see that you want to know if there is a related official article which introduces the value of CurrentState (dword:00000070) under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages.
Please let me know if I have misunderstood anything.
Based on my research, I'm sorry that it appears that there is not a corresponding official document which can meet your requirement. However, according to my knowledge, 99% of the time the value will be 00000070 for CurrentState.
Currently, I'd like to confirm that if there is any real problem occurs due to the registry value? If so, then we may find another way to help with you.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your time and understanding.
Best Regards,
Sophis Sun

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
1402
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Unistall\Quicktime keeps coming up as an error message and then 1603.
I have regedit to the 1402 error and when clicking on Quicktime I get this message "Cannot open Quictime, error while opening key", and I get this message by just clickinking on the folder!!! i have given permissions to the cdda folder as suggested on other links and cleared my temp folder and also used windows cleaner in which no Quicktime appears, PLEASE HELP ME!!
Now all I get is this ERROR 3 Message that everyone else is experiencingHi Umesh
Going into the Registry and opening up HKEYLOCALMACHINE > SOFTWARE, I can go to the folder for my Local History program, and I can right click on it to look at Permissions. This opens a Permissions for Family History window, and if I click on the Advanced button in that window, I go into Advanced Settings for Family History. If I now click on the Owner Tab, I can see that the Current Owner of this item is Paul(MYCOMPTER\Paul Baines), and this gives me power to grant Full Control to other users of the computer as I see fit. I only looked in this folder for the first time 2 days ago, so the settings are exactly as they were when created by the original program setup.
Checking on a large and representative number of other program files in the registry, I find that the owner is set to either Paul (MYCOMPUTER\Paul Baines) or Administrators (MYCOMPUTER\Administrators), but when I first attempted to check permissions in QuickTime and iTunes program folders, I had to break the door down to get in. Unfortunately, I am unable to recite the precise sequence, but it went something like this:
Right click on the file to be greeted with something like You cant meddle with settings in here, Then on a second right click, Well you can look at Permissions, but you cant change them. Then, once I could get to the Advanced tab in Permissions, I could see that the Current Owner of this item is CREATOR or something like that. I clicked on OK to get back to the Settings window, and then clicked on ADD, and put in Paul Baines. I then did another ADD for Administrators, just to give me options. I then went back to the Advanced and Owner windows, clicked on my name in the Change owner to part of the window, and clicked on Apply. Job done, but is it any wonder that I had such a struggle?
To sum up: the evidence is that other programs set the registry to acknowledge my existence as Administrator, so why dont Apple programs. I'm convinced that there must be an issue here.
Keep trying to get in, and I hope this helps. -

hi,
i have problem when installing itune. it said:
Could not open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\SOFTWARE|Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
Please help me i can't do anything without ituneFor "Could not open key/write value" errors when reinstalling try b noir's user tip:
"Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]\
[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]" error messages when installing iTunes for Windows.
The technique can be applied to the branch of the registry mentioned in the error message.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I treiws upgrading my itunes to the b=newest version and I got the following error:
"could not write value APSDaemon to \Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run. Verrify that you have sufficent access to that key or contact you support personnel"
I then went to that key and changed the permissions on it so that for Everyone - it was Full Controll instead of limited and I also changed the permissions for my administrative account which also didn't have full control. I tried to go back to the Itunes installer but it still wouldn't let me continue the process.
Any help would be much appreciated.
