Copy the cmd.exe to a different name such as TESTCMD.exe.
Then try running the TESTCMD file. If it runs, you have more infections than you know. For the first time in my life, I had a client PC that I could not clean. I am going to have to wipe the hard drive clean and re-install Windows. I have used 5 different programs and cannot get the ____ thing clean. Some of these bugs are getting really bad. I have searched long and hard for a fix, but so far all have reported back that reloading Windows is probably the only real fix. I wish they could find these "programmers" and ........... Any way, good luck. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 2:01:38 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [RBASE-L] - OT - no DOS box This morning SpySweeper informed me that it had quarantined a JSRedir-O virus, but apparently not after it had done some damage. The only thing I noticed right away is that SpySweeper no longer would run. After talking to their very helpful tech support, got the links to cleanup and reinstall, now it seems fine. I am going to run a full scan as soon as I log off here. But one other thing has happened -- I have no DOS command box! Typing CMD in the run box makes my desktop icons flash off for a few seconds, then flash back on with no DOS box. Navigating to windows / system32 / cmd.exe also does the same thing. Anyone have a clue on how to "fix" it? Or am I resigned to never going to a DOS box again? Karen
