Yes, I did exactly as Carol instructed. I also renamed my regedit and still am being
blocked by administrator(which is me and I did nothing). How can I lift this administrator
block? I probably never would've noticed it except when it disabled my Black Ice.
BTW, Worm, thanks for your help and patience.
Do you need to see another Hijak file?

If, when you search for regedit.exe you find a file, but can't see the "exe"
