XP Home Security 2013 and Bogus Registry Removal Keys!
Say, I think Ive found a bogus removal link:
http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-xp-home-security-2013
IT Said to remove these!!!! A Huge Mistake!
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
How can I recover from this!
Any program I try run has nothing ascociated with it. Can't even run regedit or do System restore
OS is XP
It sais choose a program you want to open this file....
Can one edit the registry from a remote PC? or put drive in another PC and edit registry this way?
Is this a trusted web site?

Note that a lot more has happened than what you can currently see, so after you get rid of that malware, backup all your data, then do a full format and reinstall windows (or use the recovery partition or disks that came with your computer).
