In Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 you will also need to edit the following registry entry for each user who ran the virus. The removal of this entry is optional in Windows 95/98/Me. Please read the warning about editing the registry.
At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type 'Regedit' and press Return. The registry editor opens.
Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup. On the 'Registry' menu, click 'Export Registry File'. In the 'Export Range' panel, click 'All', then save your registry as Backup.
Each user has a registry area named HKEY_USERS\[code number indicating user]\. For each user locate the entry:
HKCU\[code number]\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\
RUN = "C:\\WINDOWS\\Rundllw32.exe"
and delete it if it exists.
Close the registry editor.
Editing Win.ini
At the taskbar, click Start|Run and type Sysedit. Bring Win.ini to the front. In the [windows] section, search for a line beginning with 'Run=' and delete any references to the files you removed. Delete only that reference, not any other text.
Reboot your computer.
