I want to delete the non essential registries in : Software - Microsoft - Windows - Current Version - Run.
The reason is I get a pop up from PCUPGRADENOW (I think a virus)and I have followed all the steps in the following blog : http://blog.vilmatech.com/remove-pcupgradenow-com-pop-malware-latest-removal/
I am stuck at the part where the say in the registry delete the .exe
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “.exe”
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\run\
MY REGISTRY:
Name Type Data
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
EPLTarget\P0000000000000000 REG_SZ C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3\E_YATII6E.EXE /EPT "EPLTarget\P0000000000000000" /M "L550 Series"
Sidebar REG_SZ C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe /autoRun
swg REG_SZ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe"
2The instructions on that blog for what to remove from the registry look like nonsense. You have the right idea in looking within those keys it mentions. I'd find better instructions if I were you. And try some anti-malware program. – barlop – 2014-08-04T20:34:16.413
