Remove New Folder.exe virus and gain Access Back to task Manager, Folder Option, Regedit Back.....

New folder.exe virus and other similar types is the most  irritating virus. It infects your every folder and creates a useless folder with the name New Folder or with the same name of your folder. This folder is itself a replicating virus in form of executable files.
The virus will also disable your task manger, Folder Options, RegEdit so that user is unable
to disable this virus

Manual steps to remove this virus:-



Step 1: Cut Supply line
1.    Search for autorun.inf file.... right click>properties> un-check the read only option.....  Now Open this        file in notepad and delete everything and save the file.
2.   Now Again make the file read only....  so that the virus could not get access again.
3.   Go to start > run and type msconfig and click ok
4.   Go to startup tab look for regsvr and uncheck the option click OK.
5.   Click on Exit without Restart, because there are still few things we need to do before we can restart the PC.
6.  Now go to control panel> scheduled tasks and delete the At1 task listed there.

Step 2: Get registry access back
1.    Go to start > run and type gpedit.msc and click Ok.
2.   Go to user’s configuration> Administrative templates> system
3.   Find “prevent access to registry editing tools” and change the option to disable.
4.   Once you do this you have registry access back.
Or else check my previous post here to Enable RegEdit When Disabled by Administrator

Step 3: Del the Virus Files from registy
1.    Go to start > run and type  regedit and click ok
2.   Go to edit> find and  search for regsvr.exe,
3.   Delete all the occurrence of regsvr.exe; remember to take a backup before deleting.
Note:  regsvr32.exe is not to be deleted. Delete regsvr.exe occurrences only.
4.   At one re two places you will find it after explorer.exe in these cases only delete the regsvr.exe part and not the whole part. E.g. Shell = “Explorer.exe regsvr.exe” the just delete the regsvr.exe and leave the explorer.exe

Step 4:Del some remaining Virus's Files
1.    Click on start>search> All  files and folders.

2.   Type “*.exe” as filename to search for and Click on ‘when was it modified ‘option and select the specify date option and Type from date as 5/7/2011 and also type to date as 5/7/2011 press Search.
3.  Once search is over select all the exe files and shift+delete the files, caution must be taken so that you don’t delete the legitimate exe file that you have installed on 5th july.
4.  Also find and delete regsvr.exe,  svchost .exe (notice an extra space between the svchost and .exe)

Similarly you can perform these steps fpr some other viruses if u are good enough to figure it out…..

A TIP
ALWAYS CREATE A FOLDER NAMED “autorun.inf ” (without quotes) in the root of your portable media like pendrives and MMC so that the flashdrive is not vulnerable to viruses to some extent

But remember don’t mess up with things which are not familiar to you…

HOPE YOU LIKE IT…..
