Help with virus: PE_SPACES.1445


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. A friend sent me here, saying that it was a very good forum for help...

Anyways, I've had problem with WindowsME for a while. (Yes, I know it sucks) Whenever I Log Off, turn off the computer, or Retart, I get a "REGENV32.EXE" error. But that's just the beginning. Most .exe files won't work, and just give me and error.exe type message.

Through www.antivirus.com I've found the virus name, PE_SPACES.1445 . It's a nasty, nasty virus that stays in the Master Boot Record. (Someone please tell me exactly what that is, my idea is hazy at best.) I erased the entire C Drive, to no avail. An anti-virus program from antivirus.com won't work anymore. The same .exe error.

I was told by someone that typing " fdisk -mbr" would help, if I used the Boot-Up Disk for WinME, but it didn't.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's been a while, but I fixed it. I did the "fdisk /mbr" thing, then used my Emergency Boot Disk to erase C: Drive, then re-installed Windows 98.

I hate that virus, and I hope the writer of it burns in Hell with nothing but an iMac to keep him compnay.
