While looking at my startups with Codestuff Starter, I noticed a file
named
vsnphv71.exe in my Windows directory.
I disabled it and went to see.
It was in the Windows directory and has an icon, so it is in the
registry.

(Pardon the formatting)
So, it is identified as a virus, a trojan and a rootkit.
I have removed it from my Windows Directory and Codestuff starter
deleted.
How do I get rid of it in the registry? And get rid of the icon. ie.
how do I finish
removing it?

It is a trojan.
