I also got the "binary only" error message when I created the regedit file myself. So I downloaded regedit and Windows Defender to another computer and transferred to the infected computer on a thumb drive and the procedure worked perfectly!

worked perfectly fine. Another way is to
Step 1: open registry file by Start - > Run -> type regedit
Step 2: Go to Edit->Find and search "av.exe"
Step 3: delete entry
Step 4 : press F3 for find next and repeat step 3.
Step 5 : restart system after all entries are removed.

For anyone having the "binary only" prompt, open the file again using Notepad and go to "save as" then make sure "file type" is set to "All Files" and not text.
