i already went to dat site, did everything, but i cant edit the regetit cuz it wont get deleted. when u say reinstall windows does dat mean reformat, n lose all my data.

try again, starting in safe mode disables the virus, from there you can delete, is regedit playing up ? is it is rename it from regedit.exe to regedit.com
it works fine from a command window, and is a work around for bugs that fook your .exe extensions.

if your havn't got rid, read the guide again.

All you need to do is remove the infected file then cleanup the run entry via regedit or msconfig.

You do not need to format the system or reinstall windows, this worm leaves no lasting damage to your system!

Removing the exe may not be straight forward in some cases but starting the system in safe mode is the best way to remove it.
