Now there are tricks to remove virus like new folder.exe and regsvr.exe without any antivirus. To use the method, follow these simple tricks:

1) Start up repair

• Boot the computer in safe mode.

• Now press F3 or Ctrl + F on desktop.

• Search for “autorun.inf” file and delete all the subsequent files.

• If they are un deletable  then select all  >>  right click  >>  properties  >>  uncheck the ”read only” option. If still these are not deletable then try out un-locker tool to delete the files.

• Now go to start  >>  run  >>  msconfig  >>  startup tab  >>  uncheck “regsvr”  >>  Ok  >>  exit without restart.

• Now go to control panel >>  scheduled tasks  >>  delete “at1” task and close all windows.

2) Changing configurations

• Sometimes registry might get disabled and we need to activate it back to undo all the malicious changes done by the virus.

• To do that go to start  >>  run  >>  gpedit.msc  >>  users configuration  >>  administrative templates  >>  systems and find “prevent access to registry editing tools”, double click it and change the option to disable.

• Now regedit will be enabled. In case task manager is disabled we need to enable it.

3) Registry editing

• Now we have to perform some registry edits to enable the explorer and to remove all instances of virus from the registry.

• To do this go to start  >>  run  >>  regedit  >>  edit  >>  find and search for regsvr.exe. Now find and delete all the occurrences of regsvr.exe virus but don't delete regsvr32.exe as it is not a virus.

• Now navigate to entry hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon and modify the entry shell “explorer.exe regsvr.exe” i.e. delete the regsvr.exe from it so that it becomes shell “explorer.exe”.

• Now close all windows and get ready to delete all virus files.

4) Delete virus files

• To do this press F3 or Ctrl + F and search for "regsvr.exe", "svchost .exe" (make sure to search in hidden folders) and delete all “regsvr.exe”, “svchost .exe” files (notice the gap between "svchost" and ".exe". Don't delete the legitimate file i.e. Svchost.exe).
