Restore Registry After Cleaning Malwares

Importance:-
Most of the time we have observed that many anti virus just clean the malwares they dont restore registry settings changed by Malwares. I read some where KasperSky also restore registry settings infected my a virus, but i m not sure.

So to solve this problem you should backup your registry, but before backup registry keep one thing in mind that your computer should be virus free.

Procedure:-
  • Ist go to Run and type regedit and hit enter, you will see registry editor( if nothing happens or pc shows some error then your PC is infected, clean it)
  • Go to File and then Click Export. See image
  • Then select the path to save the file and save it with the name WinRegBak.reg
  • Now it's done.

















To restore Registry:-
  • Double click the .Reg file that you have saved.
  • Computer will ask Do you want to merge setting" click Yes
  • Most of the settings will be restored by this.
An error may occur "Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or some other processes."
