I have a virus and every virus removal tool I have says it cannot be cleaned.
They all give instructions on how to remove the virus manually by going into
the registry, however, whenever i type regedit a window pops up that says
:the NTVDM has encountered an illegal instruction ... blah blah blah and I
cannot get in to the editor. I can't get in in safe mode either. Pls help.
The virus is called worm.mugly.I
