Anti-Vermins System Alert Removal

First Open up Control Panel / System / Advanced / System Restore

turn it off

now reboot your PC into Safe Mode
on reboot hit F8 if your system has a smart boot
you need to do this 2x First for Boot device
Second for safe mode menu (be quick Windows like to load)

In safe mode turn on view System and Hidden files
Open Recycler and remove any "S-" files you find there
these are Registry entries waiting to reinfect the registry

now click Start and Run and type in regedit
under Edit select Find
type in cthkpcv.dll and search for this file entry
you should only find ONE instance of this in registry

now that registry entry is gone you need to reboot
back into safe mode to remove the target file
with registry entry running the file will not delete

Back in Safe mode for Second Time
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cthkpcv.dll
open my computer
select windows folder
select system32 folder
right click view arrange by name
find the file cthkpcv.dll
highlight it and hit shift del to delete with
no entry to recyle bin

you are ready Reboot PC back into normal window
also if you normally use restore ON return the setting to ON

there are 4 other registry entries associated with this System Alert
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

I havent found them yet for exact listing but I will and update this post
however with above steps you will stop getting the system alerts

Edit:
Found 1 Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Delete entry Antivermins with data C:\Program Files\AntiVermins\AntiVermins.exe /h
the target folder is not on my PC but remove the registry entry

 

PART 2 Read Below First !!!!

Found 2 Hkey_Classes_Root\TypeLib\{600B9825-0AC9-4541-8C42-73B405413560}\1.0\0\win32
Entry Default data C:\Program Files\AntiVermins\AntiVermins.exe
again Program Directory is not on system but remove entry

Found 3 Hkey_Classes_Root\TypeLib\{600B9825-0AC9-4541-8C42-73B405413560}\1.0\HELPDIR
Entry Default data C:\Program Files\AntiVermins\
I dont have this target folder on my PC but delete registry entry

Found 4 Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU\*
Entry may vary on mine its g data C:\Documents and Settings\{Windows User Name}\Desktop\Antivermins.txt
deleting this registry as well but the file is not on my desktop

Found 5 Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU\txt
Entry may vary on mine its f data C:\Documents and Settings\{Windows User Name}\Desktop\Antivermins.txt
again this points a txt file on desktop not on my system delete registry entry

I am certain there are more in Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
I will have to make another run thru registry to find these perhaps run an online scan for Identification


Apparently the registry entries are made in preparation for the download of the Anti-Vermins Malware
software from the pop-up alert
this however just infects you deeper (I did a web search and saw the malicious nature and did not D/L the software)
this software mascarades as a AD-ware/Malware removal tool and is actually a high risk threat

I hope this data will assist others in removing the System Alert and Registry entries from thier system.

 

Second pass thru registry and no new entries found
Have not had a Security Alert in systray in days
definetly has removed the annoyance from my PC.
