Title: Viruses found in my Registry
Post by: H2O on April 21, 2011, 06:15:11 PM
I've been battling the VirtuMonde virus and possibly others for a while now and I think I'm winning, to put it optimistically. The adds and

random downloads have ceased, but I'm losing memory in gigabytes fast, and only have less then 14 left in my C drive. I don't know if it's me

or the viruses getting bigger. Anyway I've located the VirtuMonde virus in my registry under a key called "ACMru." I have two of these in two

locations. If I were to delete both ACMru keys from my registry, would that:

A) Eliminate the virus and all it's components

B) Mess something up and cause the system to lose stability

Or am I better off just letting a third party program fix it for me. I haven't backed up my registry yet either, and all my restore points are

infected. Any suggestions/advice? Thank you for reading.
