Manually Remove Viruses from Your Windows

Most viruses launch when you log into Windows — they typically call an executable from the registry. In fact, that call will tell you exactly where the virus resides.

Start in the registry.

• Click Start. Click Run and type: regedit.exe


• Registry Editor opens. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER


• Then expand Software. Next expand Microsoft.


• Now expand Windows.


• Then expand CurrentVersion.


• Click on the Run folder.

Here you’ll find some of the programs that launch on startup. A rule of thumb: a virus is a randomly generated string that makes no sense.

The real giveaway that this is a virus is the location of the application it’s calling. It’s in the Application Data folder. It launches every time you log in. So no matter how many times you reboot, it comes right back.

Write down where the virus resides. In this case, it’s in the All Users Application Data folder. Then simply right-click the registry key and delete it. Now you haven’t actually deleted the virus, you’ve only deleted the call that launches it, which is doing the minimum. A virus is just a program, after all, so if the virus doesn’t launch it does no harm. But delete the file system anyway.

Now it’s time to go to the Application Data Folder. There is more than one — follow the path exactly as you wrote it down.

Access Ext2 file system in windows

The software provides Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 with full access to Linux Ext2 volumes (read access and write access). This may be useful if you have installed both Windows and Linux as a dual boot environment on your computer

If you currently have Windows running and you realize that you need some files for your work which you have stored on an Ext2 volume of your Linux installation, you no longer have to shut down Windows and boot Linux!

Furthermore, Windows will now be able to handle floppy disks which have been formatted with an Ext2 file system.

how it works

It installs a pure kernel mode file system driver Ext2fs.sys, which actually extends the Windows operating system to include the Ext2 file system. Since it is executed on the same software layer at the Windows NT operating system core like all of the native file system drivers of Windows (for instance NTFS, FASTFAT, or CDFS for Joliet/ISO CD-ROMs), all applications can access directly to Ext2 volumes. Ext2 volumes get drive letters (for instance O:). Files, and directories of an Ext2 volume appear in file dialogs of all applications. There is no need to copy files from or to Ext2 volumes in order to work with them.
