    I will be moving this to the Software Forum as problems with regsvr32.exe being invalid is a problem for the Software Forum. And if you PC is not bootable/useable, you need help getting it to be useable before malware can be removed. You may need to perform a repair of Windows.

    You need to be a lot more descriptive in your posts. You said after you rebooted your PC, but you need to say what you were doing before you rebooted. You also need to tell us what version of Windows you are running. You say you need help with a nasty virus but you did not state what virus you are referring to. Did you run scans that detected something.

    OK ,i did remove the virus myself, i think it was an exe type meaning what ever i tried to open up,my computer,control panel,INTERNET,mail, or any program as soon as i clicked on anything the virus was activated,i was downloading a program from utorrent and when it was completed i opened the folder it was in and clicked on that program to install then it disappeared,looked all over files for it but never found it, so i decided to reboot , when windows came up and all my desktop icons appeared 95% of them were changed they all read power ISO,which i do have that program and icon. even icons in the task bar were changed and as soon as i clicked on anything BANG!!!! the virus activated, nothing but all the same folders popping up (power ISO) around 318 of them when i tried to close any of them this would come up...C:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe invalid . and also the hour glass was beating rapidly.i could not run any spy ware programs or system restore. how i got rid of the virus: i removed the sata and power plug from the infected hard drive,plugged them into my other computer
    motherboard and ran the infected hard drive as a slave drive, then i ran malwarebytes anti-malware ran for 15 hrs (i have 300 of 500 gigs used) and found nothing! so i ran superantispyware and found 41 infections, told me to reboot to remove them. then i removed the sata and power cable ,moved hard drive back to original PC hooked it up and rebooted and found the virus was removed:-D thanks for looking at my post you guys are great!:major
