Manual removal of malicious registry entries


The registry is one of the most vital components of the Microsoft Windows operating system. In simple phrase, it is a complex database containing virtually all system, software, hardware and user settings. Almost every piece of software keeps its data in the registry. It is so important, that Windows would not even start without it.

The major part of all dangerous parasites, especially browser hijackers, trojans, spyware and adware threats modify the Windows registry. Parasites add various registry entries, create new keys, change default values. This is made in attempt to register a pest in the system, alter essential settings of the Windows operating system and installed software. Most of such changes are made for malicious purpose.

On our site you can find parasite registry entries that need to be manually removed. However, editing the registry is a difficult task that only advanced users and professionals can accomplish safely. Most anti-spyware programs will remove malicious registry entries for you. However, even the most powerful spyware removers might be unable to get rid of certain threats. The reason is simple: security software vendors cannot examine each recent pest immediately after it goes wild, and new pests appear almost every day. Anti-spyware tools rely on spyware definition databases. A few advanced products can find unknown suspicious files, but unknown harmful registry entries often stay unrecognized. This is why you need to know how to manually edit the Windows registry. But you have to be extremely careful. One inappropriate value, mistyped registry key or other small mistake in the registry may damage installed software and even corrupt the entire system! Do not modify the registry if there is no real need for this!

The following guide thoroughly explains how to manually remove malicious registry entries.

Back up the Windows registry before editing it, so that you can quickly restore it later if something goes wrong. Please read the article Backing up and restoring the Windows registry to learn more. Remember, this step is very important!

Launch the Registry Editor. Press the Start button and then click Run. Type in regedit into the Open: field. Then click on the OK button.


Image 1. Open the Registry Editor

This program consists of two panes. Use the left pane (on Image 2 it is designated by the red box) to navigate to certain registry key. In the right pane (it is in the blue box) you will see values, which belong to that selected key.


Image 2. The Registry Editor

To edit the value, right-click on it and select the Modify option (on Image 3 it is designated by the red box) from the appeared menu.


Image 3. Select the value

You can also double-click on the value with you left mouse button or use the Edit (on Image 3 it is in the blue box) menu. Type in the preferred value in the appeared window and click OK. The same action can be performed with any other value or registry key.


Image 4. Edit the value

Perform the same sequence of actions as just described in order to delete the value or the registry key. However, this time you will have to select the Delete option (on Image 5 it is in the red box) instead of Modify.


Image 5. Delete the value

To add a new registry key or a new value, click on the Edit menu, select New and choose a type for the entry.


Image 6. Add the new value

You can export any key or value from the registry to the defined file. Right-click on the object and select Export (on Image 7 it is in the red box).


Image 7. Export the value

Enter a file name. Export registry files should have the .reg extension.


Image 8. Export registry entries to a file

You can also import a certain value or a key. Click on the File menu and select Import. Then choose the file containing objects you want to import.


Image 9. Import registry entries

If after modifying the registry something goes wrong, you can restore the registry from a backup. Read the article Backing up and restoring the Windows registry to learn more.

If you do not know how to perform the described actions, you are not certain, why you have to do some steps, or the above guide is too difficult for you, feel free to try our recommended automatic spyware removers.

    good explanation but what happens if the program wont let you delete it from the registry key? then what do i do?

  3. GILL Says:
    June 18th, 2007 at 10:58 pm

    When deleting the malicious entries in the regedit program, are you supposed to “right-click, delete” in the left column or right column box?

    When I “right-click, delete” on the folder (left column box) of a malicious file it prompts, “Are you sure you want to delete this key and all of its subkeys?”, as opposed to “Are you sure you want to delete this value?” which prompts in the right column box.

    What should I be deleting, “keys and subkeys”, or “values”?

    Thanks

    To David:

    If “Run” doesn’t appear on your start menu, you can put it there. Just right click on the start button, then select “Properties.” (This will open the control panel for customizing the Start Menu and the Taskbar.) Click on the “Start Menu” tab at the top, then click on either of the “Customize” buttons below. You will only be able to click on one of them, depending on whether you use the “Classic” start menu or the newer XP start menu. Depending on which start menu you use, you’ll have slightly different options:

    1) If you use the Classic menu, scroll through the “Advanced Start menu items” list and check “Display Run”.

    2) If you use the newer menu, click on the “Advanced” tab, then scroll through the “Start Menu Items” list and check “Run”.

    Click OK twice and “Run” should appear on the start menu.

    david, what you need to do is:

    make a notepad file (probably most simple text editors will work) with the following in it:
    start regedit

    and save it as: anythingyouwant.bat (make sure it’s a .bat file!). It’s directory doesnt matter. Double clicking on this file will make regedit start.

    just right click your file in the right pane and select delete.
    to find more files related to the files you dont want… highlight the folder in the left pane then hold Ctrl key down and hit F. Then type a related name to search. just saves you having to do a manual search.

    Hey Chanda, sorry you have Smart AV2009, it is a pain in the ass, nagging every 2minutes. I had to do a complete rebuild, starting with reformatting the hard drive. At least it doesn’t prevent you from pulling off any files that you need to update your backups (Iassume you do backups?! Yeah, me too!) At least ,rebuilding is not difficult, just time consuming. And now my computer does run like the wind.

    Nick, The files you need to delete are most likley in your C: drive, which as i have encountered with this virus, is hidden. to do this you should install TweakUI pro, which is a registry editing tool, ceated by microsoft, and with that, just a click of your mouse; you can have your folders back in sight.

    I bought your package about 20 month ago and paid extra for a lifetimes protection. In that period your programme assures me that there are no threats found every single time I do a scan. Yet I have a major problem in that I cannot install any new software without getting a message that a problem has been encountered and the software will have to close. I am pretty certain that this is due to some form of malware but your programmed tells me there is nothing wrong with my computer.

    Same problem as David. This Windows Police Pro has disabled my ability to open regedit or any executables as well as anything in my control panel. A black box (DOS window) briefly pops up and then nothing and when attempting to access the controll panel areas I get a rundll32.exe parameter incorrect error. I ran McAffee from a different computer and am now able to use the task manager but the processes listed above are not among the ones running.

    I am comfortable minipulating the registry but have never incountered a situation where I couldn’t access it before. Is there another way beyond regedit to access the registry? Windows Explorer maybe since that is stil working?

    P.S. This is also a good idea because you can click on the ‘Tools’ tab in MSCONFIG and run REGEDIT from there.
