How to Remove Registry Cleaner

If you have the misfortune of a registry cleaner program hitting your computer there are some steps that you can take to remove it from your system. A registry cleaner is a nasty virus that gets into your computer system and messes up a lot of files and folders. You do not want to leave this on your computer and hopefully your spyware detection tools will let you know that it has invaded your system.

The first step to remove the registry cleaner from your system is to actually find where it has installed itself. You should utilize the Windows search tool option to actually locate the path for the registry cleaner. Once you have located the registry cleaner you will need to copy and paste it into the clipboard because this path will be needed to get the cleaner off your system.

Once you have the folder that the registry cleaner files are located you will need to manually delete them one by one. Then you need to delete the entire folder. Once this has been done, it is necessary to go into the computer registry and locate any additional hidden files for the registry cleaner and remove them. Be certain to backup the computer registry though prior to deleting files to be on the safe side. Reboot your system.

Another option to remove the registry cleaner from your system is to use a program specifically for registry cleaner removal. There are several available that will scan, detect and remove this from your computer system. Sometimes after you have rebooted the system you will still detect registry cleaner files and have to repeat the entire process or run the registry cleaner removal program again.
