To delete the value from the registry
Important: Symantec strongly recommends that you back up the registry before making any changes to it. Incorrect changes to the registry can result in permanent data loss or corrupted files. Modify the specified subkeys only. For instructions refer to the document: How to make a backup of the Windows registry.

1. Click Start > Run.
2. Type regedit
3. Click OK.

   Note: If the registry editor fails to open the threat may have modified the registry to prevent access to the registry editor. Security Response has developed a tool to resolve this problem. Download and run this tool, and then continue with the removal.

4. Restore the following registry entries to their original values, if required:
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\”Userinit” = “%System%\userinit.exe, %System%\wscript.exe %System%\killVBS.vbs”
   • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\”Window Title” = ” “
   • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\”Start Page” = ” “
   • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\vbsfile\”DefaultIcon” = “%SystemRoot%\System32\WScript.exe,2″
5. Exit the Registry Editor.

   Note: If the risk creates or modifies registry subkeys or entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, it is possible that it created them for every user on the compromised computer. To ensure that all registry subkeys or entries are removed or restored, log on using each user account and check for any HKEY_CURRENT_USER items listed above.
