Trouble:

We have been receiving many mails from our readers these days with a problem that when ever they start up windows they see the error messages like as follows:

• Windows cannot find ‘C:\windows\svchost.exe.’
• Could not load or run ‘C:\windows\svchost.exe.’ specified in the registry
• Windows cannot find ‘C:\Windows\System32\amvo.exe’
• “Windows cannot find ‘copy.exe’

These type of messages appear at windows startup, when windows tries to load the virus files like amvo.exe, copy.exe etc. These error messages appear, because these files were removed by your anti-virus programs but still the registry entries for them exist.

Different types of viruses create some files which got executed at the windows startup so that they can come in action as windows load itself. In order to run the primary virus files required, they create run entries in windows registry.

Let’s see how can you remove these entries.
