    Based solely on the context and professionality of the article in question, I decided not to even download/run this application on my computer. Basically, it seems you have locked yourself out from your own computer by using a software incorrectly. I believe, however that it is not a virus. It's just a software that locks/disables features from your computer and you've used it incorrectly. For an attempt to fix it, run your computer in Safe Mode, then run the Sysutil again. This time, enable ALL options, and allow access to ALL hard drives. Then reboot. If this fixes the problem, then DELETE the Sysutil program, run a virus scanner on your machine, and NEVER install or run a software that you don't know, or can't find a proper manual/details to. All in all, all you can blame now is yourself. 99% of viruses loose out there spread because of actions taken by the users. If every people suddendly knew how to use a computer properly and what files/file extensions/web sites should be avoided, then the virus writers would have a much harder time indeed... -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

    Thanks for your advises on what is need to do. Antti Keskinen wrote: All in all, all you can blame now is yourself. I know. But is meaning that should never be run any programs from CodeProject? When is OK to try, and when is not OK? I wanted to seeing how is works this program, and I realized too later that is not seeming to be OK. Now, I is afraid to be trying programs.

Don't call my application virus,that's a insult for an emerging Programmer. do u see i have provided sourecode for my project???? do you see that. if i want to send virus though my application to my fellow programmer i not going to tell my full identity in codeproject site.???do you seen my Profile in CP. if user don't know how to run aplication,do u recommand that it is the virus??you insulted me. thats very very wrong. ----------------------------- "I Think It will Work" ----------------------------- Alok Gupta visit me at http://www.thisisalok.tk

                    First, borrowing on my own response: "I believe, however that it is not a virus. It's just a software that locks/disables features from your computer and you've used it incorrectly." Next, if I have insulted you, then all I can say is that I am sorry. However, after reading your article, I became a bit suspicious, mostly because the article was poorly written, and there were many abbreviations used where normal english words were available. If this is your style in writing articles, or if your command of the English language is not so good, then it is okay, and I admit I made a pre-emptive judgement. However, what I wrote to the other user about your software and the article, they were completely valid points. My instructions, which you have borrowed, apply just as well to every other software that an user might download or accidentally run. Most software here on Code Project is checked before it's placed available. However, articles that are placed in the Purgatory have not undergone as strict checking as those in the actual articles section. This leaves a security risk for malicious article writers. I am not saying that your article is malicious. But it resides in the Purgatory. Hence the suspicion. Alok the programmer wrote: Don't call my application virus,that's a insult for an emerging Programmer. Your entire project depends heavily on an external DLL (NMPRegDll.dll). For this DLL, you have not provided any actual source code. Neither have you documented it very properly. Specifically, you have not documented any of the methods. What do they do ?

Through registry keys ? If not, then how ? All these missing information pieces lead the reader to think that perhaps it would be unwise to run any sample executables or build the source code. In plain english, it just looks suspicious. It looks incomplete. It looks dangerous. But it might not be. If the article was edited, you'd spend a few hours/days to writing it properly, using indents, topics, titles and proper code sections, then it would probably receive more attention, more feedback and more users. I am neither insulting you or trying to push you down in any way. If your system utility is good and someone finds it useful, then that's a great thing.
