GMER is available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 and 8. You can download GMER for free from the site. The .zip file is a mere 348KB, and installing it on my Windows 8 PC took me only a few seconds.

If you run into problems installing GMER, it might indicate that you have a rootkit of some sort. Rootkits and other malware are often engineered to block known security software in order to evade detection. You can rename the gmer.exe file to something else, though, and likely bypass any file filter that the rootkit is using.

If gmer.exe is located in the C:\Windows folder, the security rating is 56% dangerous. The file size is 581,632 bytes.The program has a visible window. This process is launched automatically by the Windows Task Scheduler. The gmer.exe file is not a Windows system file. There is no information about the author of the file.Gmer.exe is able to monitor applications.

Important: You should check the gmer.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.

The following programs have also been shown useful for a deeper analysis: ASecurity Task Manager examines the active gmer process on your computer and clearly tells you what it is doing. Malwarebytes' well-known Banti-malware tool tells you if the gmer.exe on your computer displays annoying ads, slowing it down. This type of unwanted adware program is not considered by some antivirus software to be a virus and is therefore not marked for cleanup.

A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding PC trouble. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.

Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.

So this all began with the viruses that infected my machine and which I deleted manually. It was a generic malware in C\windows\system 32\ mspgw.exe. I have sent copies of the previously mentioned files when the problem happened and they said they sent it to you virus department. I don't know if I run these tools now if they will reveal anything since I deleted one of the viruses manually when I wasn't answered in 2 days. Sure wasn't a smart move but you know how a depressed person behave

I was contacted by the support team by email now with some steps. I will follow their advice and see what happens. I have tried SCF/scannow to make windows restore any missing files with no results. I also want to say that after deleting that file manually BD seems to see nothing wrong anymore eventhough I'm sure my regedit and other files are infected.

Please run those 2 tools and post the logs here. I don't have access to the mails you sent so I have no way of knowing what they contain. Also, fresh logs will provide accurate system status, especially since you say that you manually removed certain files.

You should be able to unblock them, using gpedit, To open it, go to Start-Run and enter "gpedit.msc" (without quotes). then type open the run command box:Run > gpedit.msc (Press enter). Group policy editor will appear.

the windows default setting is set "not configured" otherwise other prog's such as spyware doctor will flag it up, each time you scan (after a re-boot) hope the info helps you out, there is also ****** files available for download from a web site kelly's corner which will or should do the same almost but i favor the gp edit route personally

Thanks for your thoughts and advices. I have read about those steps 3 days ago somewhere in the internet and tried to follow them but I was baffled when I opened the gpedit.msc etc and couldn't find under Administrative templates the System folder!! Its then I realized something so bad going on.

Keep in mind that browsing with gmer is a lot slower than conventional browsing (with Explorer, or any file manager), because it also searches for files hidden by rootkits, which is a slow process.

Afterwards, put all the files in a password-protected archive (with the password infected; details HERE), upload the archive on a file-sharing service (details in the previous link) and send me the download link by PM.

Finally today I tried to do what you asked me to. But before all that I decided to run gmer.exe just to see if it can find anything else 'fishy'. Well it gave me a log file clear of all those kernel errors that were in the previous file. Despite all that I followed your steps and searched for them using gmer, and also they were not there. I went to start>Run> and then typed CODE as you said nothing happened I tried all the line also nothing (sure the message was windows can't find..etc). I used microsoft's advice and I'm still having the same funny thing: I opened gpedit.msc (which opened after 2 times of not responding windows) gpedit.msc>user configuration> administrative templates but I have no SYSTEM file there!! I have only windows components. Where did the system file go? I even searched under computer configuration and also it wasn't there.

I checked the link you sent me earlier ( ) and tried following the steps. I tried their 'gpupdate/force' method but when I typed it a small black window flashes and directly disappears. This is also what is happening with the REG command. I checked in windows\system32\ and the reg.exe file does exist but also same behavior when I click on it. So till now I can't use the taskmgr.exe nor the regedit.exe.

I don't know about "gpupdate /force" (never tried it), but the REG tool behavior that you noticed should be ok, since that tool is a console-based tool which closes automatically after it's work is done. And the command I gave you above uses REG to add a key to the system registry, to enable regedit.

If you want to see the result of REG (or any other console-based tool), go to Start -> Run, type cmd and Enter. Then, in cmd, write the commands as you would write them in Run. Then, whatever result is displayed by the tool will be visible in cmd. So you can try this method to run the gpupdate and REG commands to see what's the result.

I couldn't find anything missing in gmer.exe. I opened the C:\Windows\System32 I can see the files regdit.exe (cube with flying little smaller cubes) and taskmgr.exe(computer like icon) but both of them when I click them I get the same windows error message

On the other hand, under the Registry tab in gmer in : HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options, both (regedit.exe) and (taskmgr.exe) showed in the right hand window this:

I don't know if these are related to this problem. I'm really out of ideas. Its so strange that we are trying all the seemingly possible solutions to restore the regedit and tskmgr and nothing is succeeding. Maybe that 'Debugger' thing is related I really don't know anymore.

I'll start with the simplest thing: I don't know exactly what's the purpose of Your image file here without a path and it's too late in the night right now to read about it. But the same values appear in my registry for this key, so my guess is that they are correct and safe.

The other ones (regedit and taskmgr) don't exist at all in my registry (at that address). And reading about Image File Execution Options on the web revealed that the Debugger value is used for launching a debugger instead of launching the actual process (in your case, regedit or taskmgr). For developers, this can be a useful feature... for also, for malware creators, it can be an easy way of replacing some processes with infected ones (because instead of launching what YOU want, something different will be launched instead).
