    Modifying Registry with "reg" file


    I exported a HKCU key and saved it as a reg file.
    I now want to import it to another HDD.
    Prior to doing this I noticed the properties list in the Receiving system:
    1) Contains the same list of items
    BUT
    2) Are in a different order than the exported file.

    What to confirm whether this matters when I import the file --or -- if regedit will handle accordingly (update the correct key) ?

    Thanks
    David

    Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

    Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?

    Adapting .REG Files.

    I would also suggest creating the entries manually so it's not such a pain to modify one or more at a time...

    DELETION OF FILES MODIFIED BY VIRUS IN FILE REGISTRY

    Kindly provide suggestions on how to permanently remove these files or on how to remove the modified files in windows registry.

    You do NOT need to remove files or registry entries manually.

    From Microsoft's site: Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly
    by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system.


    You've only killed the running processes so far. Until you remove the malware that's creating those processes and registry entries, it'll likely keep appearing in startup. What you need to do is run anti-malware
    scans to remove the malware permanently that's creating those processes.

    First, open Control Panel. Under Programs and Features - Uninstall a program, check for anything suspect and remove/uninstall it. If unsure, leave it alone. Note: This will only 'start' the uninstall process. Then run Disk Cleanup to clear out temp, temp internet
    files, cookies, etc.

    After which, run Rkill again if necessary to kill those processes before running these malware removal programs.

    Edit: Just FYI, I Googled a couple of those entries. According to Symantec, one of those entries: Trojan.Egguard is a Trojan horse that downloads malicious files and injects malicious javascript into
    web pages on a compromised computer. Trojan.Egguard Another site says it's PUP.

    It may be necessary for you to seek further help on a specialty forum if those steps don't get rid of it. Let us know how things go after following above steps.
