Forums mIRC Help Not Executing

For some reason, ever since I got back to school 2 wks ago, mIRC has not been executing. I'll run the program, I get the hourglass, then nothing. It doesnt appear in the process list.
It's really pissing me off. Any ideas?

Also same thing with msconfig.

sounds like a virus has infected your PC and added bytes to files. mIRC will not run if its been modified in any way. And it sounds like the virus is preventing msconfig from running to attempt to stop you from preventing it loading at boot up.

Theres a thread somewhere on the forum with links to online virus scanners, i'll post it in a second when i find it.

yeah, I thought of that too.

Turns out I have "PE BAGLE N-O"

I need to do this in the registry, but it wont let me run the damn registry! Can someone tell me how to make a .reg file to do this:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>
CurrentVersion>Run
In the right panel, locate and delete the entry or entries:
winupd.exe=%System%\winupd.exe

I don't know how to make a .reg do it, but since you're a programmer why not make a small program to do it? (Assuming your compiler will run, of course)



Edit: actually, a .reg file won't work anyway since they open in regedit.exe

You may not be able to use it as .reg files use regedit.exe too.

• Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
  "winupd"=-

IF you have XP, type this in mIRC

He said mIRC won't run, but he can use pretty much the same thing from the run box (Start menu > run):

ROFL Of course he did! I forgot that part
BTW: You don't need the "cmd.exe /k", I just added it to show success/failuer.
