have HKEY_current_user, what to do?? and how to remove it.....??? please help
and thank you very much!!!
 
You have obviously visited this link for information on removing the virus:
http://www.symantec.com/security_response/...2030-99&tabid=3

The registry key is there. The best option is to search for it. Open
regedit, Click Edit on he main toolbar and then select Find. In the find
dialogue box type:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer (or
better still copy and paste it into the find box)
