MSN Virus - Very quick question
Hi.
I have downloaded an MSN virus via a "friend" (lol). I have found the instructions on how to get rid of it but it here: Removal But my question is - where do I type all of the commands in? If it just from the "Start/Run" prompt? Sorry for my idiocy. Thanks. |

Re: MSN Virus - Very quick question
go start, run, type: regedit
thats the registry editor. its like a folder tree, ull hafta search the entrys listed and delete them. when it says delete files %windows%/... it means u should go into ur folder where windows is installed (c:\windows in general) with regular windows explorer. %system% means c:\windows\system. |

Re: MSN Virus - Very quick question
I wouldn't recommend messing around with registry/system files unless you're familiar with what you're doing. Probably best to get a tech savvy friend to help you with this via AIM or something.
Alternatively, PrevX can apparently do it for you: http://spywarefiles.prevx.com/spywar...=HHHG043506463 |
