Some computer viruses disable system specific features to make it harder for the computer user to detect and remove them. Most people will understand that something is wrong if the Windows Task Manager or Registry editor are not opening up anymore, disabling the features will on the other hand delay the removal of the virus from the system.

Antivirus software that cleans the virus may sometimes fail to cleanup the system properly. It can happen that Windows features are still not accessible even after the virus has been removed from the computer system.

That’s where tools like Re-Enable aid the user. The software program offers to activate Windows features like Regedit, Windows Task Manager, System Restore, MsConfig or the Control Panel after a virus attack.

It displays all features in the main interface upon startup. Some or all of the apps and functions can be selected for fixing.

A click on the Re-enable button after the selection will start the recovery process.

The program offers a Tool menu on top that comes with additional troubleshooting utilities. Here it is possible to restore Safe Mode, edit Hosts files, reset files and folder attributes, unhide drives, repair the desktop, repair explorer.exe startup problems or scan for and delete autorun.inf files.

Re-Enable is a handy program to repair a system after a virus attack. The developer has created a lite version which requires the Microsoft .net Framework 3.5 SP1 and a portable version which has no dependencies but is 30 times the size of the lite version (700 KB to 22 MB).

Computer virus attacks on a computer system can sometimes have undesired side effects that make it harder for the computer user to remove the computer virus effectively. This includes disabling the Windows Task Manager, Windows Registry or the command line tool. These effects are sometimes still in place after cleaning the computer virus, trojan or malicious software program from the computer system.

Enter Re-Enable, a portable software program for the Windows operating system that can enable several disabled core functions of the Windows operating system. Re-enable can currently enable the following Windows functions if they have been disabled by a computer virus (or other program or effect).

Windows Registry
Command Line Tool
Windows Task Manager
System Restore Config
Folder Options
Run command

The program will display all support functions in its interface. All are checked by default and a click on the Enable button will enable these again. Nothing will happen if they are already enabled. Users who only want to enable a specific function can uncheck the other options in the interface easily.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 users need admin rights to use the software program. The software program is also compatible with Windows XP. It can be downloaded from Softpedia.
