Solved Please help: Virus [after downloading from piratebay.org]

Hi
OK lets get rid of that, please do this.

Please backup your registry using ERUNT before proceeding to any of the steps.

Download ERUNT from Derfisch or Aumha and save it to your desktop.

Use the setup program to install ERUNT on your computer
Click ERUNT.Setup.exe to install ERUNT and backup your registry.
Uncheck the "Create NTREGOPT desktop icon” box.
In the window that comes up to Create an ERUNT entry to the Start up folder select No.

By Default the backup location is C:\windows\erunt\ (current date)
Click OK to continue with the registry backup.
If the folder does not exist then let ERUNT create the folder for you by clicking Yes
You should see a progress bar when ERUNT is backing up the Windows Registry.
After ERUNT has completed the Windows Registry backup. Click OK to exit ERUNT

Now do this.

Open “Notepad” Copy the contents of the code box below to the blank Notepad.
Click "File" > "Save as "
In the "Save In" box at the top click the down arrow and select DeskTop

In the “File name” type in: fix.reg
In the “Save As Type” select: All Files
Once saved, Go to your desktop double click “fix.reg file” and let it merge with the registry.

Code:

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\CLSID\{E24A3BE2-0E58-440D-C5291999CC5C5741}]

Let me know that it merged OK.

It merged okay. What did that just do? Should I keep the ERUNT and fix files that are now on my desktop?

 

Hi
That was a registry entry that was not needed.

I would keep ERUNT, It is a good program to back up your registry before doing any installs of programs.

You can delete any files we created.

You should be good to go.

I'll mark this one resolved.
