i need help removing a virus from my computer. It is the protoride-m worm in my windows xp professional. Any kind of help would be great because i cant get into my msconfig and stuff.
Using Windows explorer, browse to the Windows folder (usually C:\Windows or C:\Winnt) right-click Regedit.exe and make a copy of it.
Rename the copy of Regedit.exe to Regedit.com.
At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type 'Regedit.com' and press Return. The registry editor opens.
Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup. On the 'Registry' menu, click 'Export Registry File'. In the 'Export range' panel, click 'All', then save your registry as Backup. Locate the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT entry: Typically an unaltered registry entry will be set to HKCR\exefile\shell\open\command\(default) = "%1" %* the altered registry entry will be HKCR\exefile\shell\open\command\(default) = <path to worm> "%1" %* delete only the path to the worm. Do not delete anything else. Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ Windows Taskbar Manager and remove any reference to any file you deleted. Close the registry editor. Check your administrator passwords and review network security.
