WARNING: The following section includes step-by-step information on how to edit the Windows Registry, a large database containing system and program settings that are essential to how the OS (operating system) operates. Follow Registry-editing instructions to the letter and be sure to make a backup of your Registry before you begin (Registry errors can render your computer inoperable if you don't have a backup). This procedure differs depending on the OS you use. For more information on backing up and editing the Registry, see these articles: "Protect Yourself" and "Register Here."

How To Get Rid Of Dumaru

Using McAfee VirusScan, double-click the McAfee Security Center icon in your System Tray. Click VirusScan, then click Scan My Computer For Viruses. Make sure the Scan Subfolders, Scan All Files, and Scan For New Unknown Viruses checkboxes are selected, then click Scan. If VirusScan shows the virus present after it finishes on its List Of Detected Files, try the Clean option. If that doesn't work, click the Delete button. Unfortunately, Dumaru infects .EXE files, which are necessary to run Windows and your installed programs, so make a note of the files that you delete, as you may need to replace them with clean copies from your programs' original installation discs.
