Registry malware can crash your Windows operating system and data on the device.

method in this post.

 * Bottom Line

Windows Registry is one of the most important built-in tools on your Windows
computer. It can collect the databases that are configured on Windows. Registry
malware is not a rare issue. You may not hear of it. But it exists, which may
cause system crash or hard drive failure. The issue can influence the data on
your computer.

If you suspect that there is malware on your PC, you can use professional
anti-virus software to scan and remove it. On the other hand, you can also check
the Windows Registry for malware because any operation on your PC can find a
footprint in it. You can even remove malware from the Windows Registry. This
post will show you how to do this job.

HOW TO CHECK THE WINDOWS REGISTRY FOR MALWARE?

To keep your Registry key safe, you’d better back up your registry key or create
a system restore point in advance. Then, you can do the following things:

 1. Press Win+R to open Run.
 2. Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
 3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion.
 4. Scroll down and find the folders which start with Run. As per your computer,
    you can find one to up to six such folders in that path. Then, you can click
    each folder to open the program list.





How to judge which program is malware? Here are two references:

 1. The name of the malware may be misspelled.
 2. It is not a familiar program.

However, these two elements are not enough for making a confirmation. You can
search for the suspect program on Google to confirm whether it is malware. If
yes, you can right-click on that entry and select Delete to remove it from
Windows Registry. After you delete the entry, the Registry malware should be
removed.

Malware may also use other Registry keys like:

 * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
 * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
 * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
   Folders
 * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
   Shell Folders
 * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\User
   Shell Folders
 * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell
   Folders


IF YOU LOSE DATA DUE TO MALWARE OR VIRUSES

You can use professional data recovery software to get your lost data back.
Before doing this, you’d better remove malware and viruses using antivirus
software or Windows Registry to make sure that the upcoming recovered files have
a safe environment.

This software has a trial edition. You can use it to scan your hard drive and
see whether it can find the files you want to restore.

Free Download

After downloading and installing this software on your computer, you can open it
and select the target drive to scan.





After scanning, you can get a scan result where you can find your needed files.
If you want to use this software to recover your needed files, you need to use a
full edition.


BOTTOM LINE

Reading here, you should know how to check the Registry for malware and remove
it if there is. You also get a free file recovery tool to rescue your lost data
when necessary. We hope this post is helpful to you.
