Remove Registry Virus??

[StrixxTV]

I need help knowing how to remove these manually because Malwarebytes cannot remove them. Please do not say restore I can not afford to do that.

Sorry, you have to.

If MWB can't get rid of them maybe you can try a different anti malware or anti virus; if those don't work either I'm afraid your only option is to restore or reinstall windows. It should be safe to just backup your important data though, is there a specific reason why you can't afford to restore...?

For some reason, my computer won't install any antiviruses

The registry is the foundation of Windows. The only way to fix it is to remove everything and start over.

Have you tried the following?

Not really. You can remove them via Safe Mode or Live Rescue Disk.

Possible, but it could screw up your entire installation if you aren't careful; sometimes even just using the software makes a mistake and you end up with a install that is just screwed.

OP why can't you reinstall Windows? It is free if that is what you mean.

It can even be done through the settings

Just go to Update & Security - Recovery then Reset This PC

MalwareTips, Bleepingcomputers, and Malwarebytes community forum offer free expert virus removal. The only downside is you will have to be patient with it. If OP doesn't have a backup drive then he/she may want to visit either one of those three community forums to have an expert remove virus for free.

Your best option is to reset/reinstall Windows, and be careful what you download and run in the future. Use a Virtual Machine if you're unsure.

Why can't you afford to reinstall Windows?

I fully understand why someone can't afford to reinstall Windows.

Serious user, who configures Windows for work, not for running Steam and browser only, spend weeks or even longer configuring everything he likes. Of course it's not 24/7 work, but every day you can improve something, add new tool that was missing before, new program configuration, another codec for video processing, another VST registered in system for music creation etc. And now what, because of few registry entries he must reinstall whole operating system? Lol. No, he asks here, on expert website what to do. So lets help him!

 

So, did you try AdwCleaner? The same kind of program, the same company, but may help.

 

Anyway, I assume that can't help, so I try to help other way.

 

Can you export whole keys pointed by Malwarebytes from registry and upload them here? I'll analyze these keys and prepare good ones for you.

But that may be not enough - it may be just registry hack, or you have some kind of trojan on your system too, so you must find what run in background in your system.

You can upload HijackThis log here (it's no longer supported software, but it will be enough for save log) or run Autoruns to check what starts with your system.

Removing registry entries (or revert them to original values) plus removing file infection, plus removing additional keys in registry that points to removed files and removing browser extensions that are suspicious, can fix your system.

 

Unfortunatelly, I can't give you "step-by-step" tutorial. It's not possible.

That'd be like me.

I'm used to certain things being certain ways and will go out of my own way to change them to my liking.

If OP re-installs I'd say do all the customization & install all basic programs make a disk image using Paragon.

That way you can always revert to a like-new state; of course you'll have to redo some updates but that isn't such a big deal.

If you only have one storage drive, make a secondary partition you'll store all files on and only backup the Windows partition exerting extra care when rolling back to that image to only replace the Windows partition.

 

I spend the better part of three days after a full reinstall cleaning up MicroShaft's garbage & making sure all details are right, trust me when I say I know how much it sucks to have a borked install it feels like you've raised.
