Hello... I'm having trouble with my PC that caused after a file named " new vista solitaire.exe " entered my OS (windows XP). Well, I guess this is a virus. I've search many search engine, but I couldn't find any topic related. This kind of virus attack my registry by disabling my windows to search in startup menu, disabling windows update, automatically do not show hidden file even we've set many times to show all files in folder option.

Please help to solve this virus...

It looks like a spyware variant . Which anti spyware programs have you run ?And which antivirus program do you use?
Please run spybot and superanti spyware if you haven't already run them .If this is zango then they will remove it.

Hello my friend...

So sorry for the late respon. Actually, I realize that I don't have any anti spy before. Firstly I try to change my antivirus. I use SAV v10 when I get this kind of virus. Then I try to use AVG Anti virus, but nothing's change and this kind of virus is still hacking my registry. And then I use AVG Anti Spyware and the result is still the same. Then I move to Kaspersky Internet Security v7.0.0.125 and comes with no change at all.

Finally, I use Spybot and Xoftspy at the same time and scan my computer with both of them... bingo... it just works... search item from my start up menu has shown again... thanks to both of antispy. I don't know whether the Spybot or Xoftspy that make it work because I did the scan for both of them and then check my previous problem (not one by one). So, I can't figure out who make it among them. Let's just say that both of them make it happen... (no advertising thought... :)

Well I don't know whether it works for ever because I need to trial my computer for more..

Last but not least, thanks to your advise my friend and hope my experience will be helpful for others.
