**System Scan and Cleaning**

The first step in cleaning up your computer is to run a system scan. This will help identify any malicious software that may have been installed on your computer. To do this, you'll need to boot your computer in safe mode. If possible, try to do this as it will work better in safe mode and the computer will run faster.

To enter safe mode, simply reboot your computer and keep tapping the F5 key until it takes you straight into safe mode. Alternatively, if you can't get to safe mode, go to the option screen by pressing F8 repeatedly as the system starts to boot up. From there, select "Safe Mode" to continue.

Once in safe mode, download a program called Super Anti Spyware (superspyware.com) and run it. This free program does a good job of detecting and removing malware from your computer. To use it, follow these steps:

First, check for updates, then scan your computer using the full scan option. Select the drives you want to scan, preferably Windows and other necessary partitions. If desired, you can also customize the scan by selecting specific options such as registry scanning.

**Running the Full Scan**

To run the full scan, select the "Full" or "Complete" scan option on the Super Anti Spyware program. This will take a few minutes to complete and may require your computer to restart during the process.

Once the scan is complete, follow the instructions provided by the program to remove any detected malware from your computer.

**Fixing Registry Changes**

After running the full scan, you'll need to fix any registry changes that malicious software may have made. To do this, open the Registry Editor (RegEdit) and navigate to the following keys:

* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

* Current User

* Software

* Microsoft

* Windows

In each of these locations, you'll see a list of entries that have been disabled or modified by malware. To fix these changes, simply right-click on the entry and select "Modify" or "Delete". This will restore the original registry settings.

If desired, you can also use the Super Anti Spyware program to fix registry changes. In this case, go to the "Registry Fix" option in the program and follow the instructions provided.

**Rebooting and Checking Folder Options**

After fixing registry changes, you'll need to reboot your computer for the changes to take effect. Once restarted, check that folder options are working correctly by going to Tools > Folder Options (or equivalent).

If you're unable to access folder options or have issues with them, try restarting your computer again and checking the status once it has booted up.

**Additional Tips and Recommendations**

To keep your computer safe from malware in the future, consider running two different types of spyware programs regularly. You can also install an anti-virus program on your computer to provide additional protection.

Additionally, always be cautious when downloading software from the internet, as some files may contain malware that can harm your computer. Be sure to read reviews and follow instructions carefully before installing any new software.

**Conclusion**

By following these steps, you should be able to clean up your computer and remove any malicious software that has been installed. Remember to always keep your computer up to date with the latest security patches and to be cautious when downloading software from the internet.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi everyone welcome to this video is bbc.co.uk in this video be talking about the virus that hits uh the registry editor and disables it no task manager does that up as well and it also does the folder options you can't actually enter there and you can't do uh save as settings or anything like that it actually Auto runs it disables all those and there's a ton of other things they do as well but they're the most nasty on cuz obviously you can't enter the registry these are the sort of error messages you'll get up and I'm going to show you now roughly uh what sort of happens now I mean these are the type of viruses that are causing it just uh blow that up a bit so you can see and you got the worm Yar lover. you got the Bronto I think that is there's a load of other different variants now cuz obviously there's a ton of them there now normally this happens because people haven't got a virus scanner or what not on their system now you need to make sure that you got that on there to stop this happening I'm pretty sure there's a lot of fixes out there and definitions out there to fix these problems now but um the ones that I'm going to be showing you how to get rid of it first the first thing you want to do is get rid of this virus or Trojan or spy wear or malware first and then we'll do the fix afterwards so what about what what does it do well if you try to go to a registry edit like so type reg edit in there I'll just type that edit like so and you get this error message come up it's been disabled by the administrator okay now you could go into policies and and CH change all that if you've got Windows XP Pro if you got Windows XP Home you can't do it in policies and you have to use uh a registry file or edit registry that way now you can't I'm going to show you what the reasons why so if you try to do task manager um you can see there just going to whack that in and you'll get the same thing and if you look at tools there's no folder options so you can't actually go in here there's no saving s there's a ton of different things it does so this is a registry file that I've created there and basically this will actually fix a lot of the problems okay but the problem is uh if you click on this now you can't use it because obviously it's telling you that the it's been disabled so you can't even run a registry file you will will be in a bit of a pickle now so the only other way you can do it is by using this any file okay and this is the actual in file and as you can see what it's going to do is actually uh fix the actual registry okay cuz we're not actually using the registry key we're going to be using uh the shell to actually fix it okay so let's uh let's uh clear the virus first so what do we do so first of all you need uh M Weare bites like so go to the website click on malware bites.org and then download the free version okay with this big blue button here download that once you've downloaded and installed it it will look like this big red M well it might not look the same as this thing here CU this is a a different toolbar but um it will be installed first thing you want to do is go to update and check for updates yeah always check for updates get the latest uh definitions and then go to scanner and it will be by default perform quick scan you want to do a full system scan okay now you want to try and do this in safe mode if possible cuz it will work better in safe mode it will run a lot faster uh it seems to run really slow when it's on the desktop so just run it in uh safe mode if you can't get to safe mode just reboot a PC and keep tapping either F5 that will take you straight into safe mode uh and if you don't want to go straight in you want the option screen then go into f8 keep tapping f8 as you as the system starts to boot up and it will give you the option to go into safe mode okay so once you've run that the next thing you you want to do is download another program called super anti spyware now I always like to run two different types of spyware programs and super R spyware.com it's one of the best it's been one of the best for quite a while and actually just run this free program here okay download that and run it if you want to pay for the full version uh for the full pro version by all means do so but I mean free version does a good job and it basically will look like this you just have to run through check for updates first okay with this updates then scan your computer again run this in safe mode if possible it will be by default perform quick scan do not do that the full complete scan select the drives that you want to actually scan preferbly windows and then you got a custom one here where you can just do the registry and whatnot but I mean just do the full scan really okay once you've done that system should be cleaned reboot and now we can get rid of the actual the actual uh registry changes that the actual viruses have made so now what we're going to do here is I'm going to run the registry to fix the actual registry first now this just fixes the registry itself and then this one will actually do all the other bits and pieces so the first thing you want to do is right click and click on install okay that's it it's done so you now go start run registry edit or reg edit like so type enter and up comes the registry now as you can see the places where this is searching is H Key current user down a software in at Microsoft if you want to do it manually you can uh windows and policies and Explorer and system okay now when you look here you'll see the disabled task manager that's got a one on it that means it's been disabled that's the reason why now if I just put a zero in there or if I wanted to I could right click and delete that file we don't need it once it's been deleted you know it'll work it's entirely which way you want it's entirely up to you you can see the disabled registry tools there there's a zero there if I put one in that now that it will block the registry again okay so that's what it does so it's up to you you can either keep it there delete it or just edit it so basically I'm not going to edit manually I'm going to do it um show the other ones no save settings no folder options as you can see and that's no folder options is up here it's still gone so what we need to do is quickly run that
