wamp server crashes after launch phpMyAdmin

I worked with wamp server for over a month and every thing was great.

Recently I had some chinese viruses that made me take some actions including deleting them from the registry. When I tried to connect to my wamp server, It turned green, and after I tried to login to the phpMyAdmin, I got an error -

mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

This is my Apache error log:

Thanks!

Your Apache log doesn't really have anything useful. Look a at the PHP error log and it's likely that the database (MySQL) is either not running or not accepting the connection. So have a look at those logs as well. – Seth – 2016-11-24T12:55:42.870

is it ok now..? – Jolie Anton – 2016-11-24T13:02:11.510

You can see that the error is triggered from dbconnect.php. Did you check whenever MySQL is up and running? Are you able to use a direct connection tool like the MySQL Workbench or the mysql command line interface to connect to the database? – Seth – 2016-11-24T13:04:01.203
