Right under the "hkey_current_user"    key in the registry is a line called&#xD;&#xA;trojan horse dropper.small.29.e&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I have run my virus program, along with a bunch of spyware, malware, and trojan software, none have found this file.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;My question is if i backup the registry, can i just delete that line from the registry without it causing a whole problem on the system?&#xD;&#xA;thanks&#xD;&#xA;cd

You can right click on the file and export. Yes, I know you should probably delete it.  But want to make sure your registry doesn&#x27;t crash after it&#x27;s gone.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;So you should be good

Lippsman,&#xD;&#xA; I was a afraid to delete the whole line, so i changed the first 2 numbers in the data line and nothing happened.  Would this mean am pretty safe to just delete the whole thing?&#xD;&#xA;Thanks&#xD;&#xA;cd
