How do you remove the about blank virus by editing the registry?

Here is one recommend solution:

•     Open your browser so you'll will see (automaticly) the startpage "about:blank"

•     Now go UP TOP to the "view source" option of your browser. It will be right on top. Look for a string that looks like this: res://%44%3a%5c%57%49%4e%44%4f%(etc,), highlight and right click and copy, save in word, or wordpad.

•     Make a copy of this complete string (control c) and go to: http://www.simplelogic.com/Developer/URLDecode.asp

•     Paste the string in here and press on "clean data".

•     Now a ***.dll file appears... above, now you see what it is named and what file it is in.

•     Go to the directory where it's in (windows/system32) and activate "show hidden files" in this directory.

•     Close all applications. Removing the dll file is not possible, but you can rename it, so do that!
