Shutdown virus (registry files) command prompt as well

Hello there. Do not worry. You need to remove that virus from the registry file. For doing that, go to RUN window, type “regedit” and press enter. If you are prevented by the shut down virus then you will not be able to access the registry editor. In that case, download a third party registry editor for dealing with the windows registry changes. When you have opened the windows registry, select settings tab, click on “HKEY_CURRENT_USER” then look for shutdown autorun file by pressing ctrl+F and then delete the key value from that file. Then go to the program files and look for the shut down exe file virus and then delete it without opening it, delete it from the recycle bin as well. You may also check the task manager and search for shutdown exe virus file in the processes list or running applications list and right click on it and click End process. Hope your problem gets solved. Best of Luck!
