Win32 Virus Removal

The Patched User32 virus infection is the result of a commonly known trojan called W32/Mariofev.worm that infects a Windows operating system registry. On top of that it creates holes in a system’s security exposing personal information and potentially damaging threats.

There are various methods to remove the Patched User32 virus (W32/Mariofev.worm) so here’s what you need to do.

Preparing your system for Patched User32 Virus removal:

First of all we will have to disable the System Restore and then we will fix the Windows Registry

Manually removing the Patched User32 Virus:

In order for Windows to automatically check and possibly replace any damaged system files with newly functional ones, try the following manual removal method:

1. Windows carries a commandline command, “sfc” that can scan and check all Windows system files. In the event that any files are missing or damaged, SFC will replace them by the necessary functional copies.  As these functional files are copied from a folder called the dllcache folder, in the event that it is missing, the program will prompt for the install CD/DVD of your Windows operating system.
2. First click on the Start Menu. Then click Run.
3. Either type cmd to launch the command line interface and enter the command or simply type: sfc /scannow in the Run dialogue box to execute the command directly.

   

4. Click OK
5. System scan may take anything between 20 to 30 minutes.

Patched User32 Virus Removal using the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT)

The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) checks Windows Vista, WIndows 7, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 computers for infections by specific, prevalent malicious software— including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom; and helps remove these infections.

When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed. The tool creates a log file named mrt.log in the %WINDIR%\debug folder.

1. Download and install Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830) from here.

   

2. Open MSRT through the desktop icon or select it in Start Menu > “All Programs”.
3. Click “Next” to go to “Scan Type” window and select “Full Scan” to ensure you remove all traces of W32/Mariofev.worm.

   

4. Click “Next” to begin the scan.

   

5. MSRT will show the results of your scan when the scan is complete.
6. Remove any malicious files and folders discovered by MSRT.
7. Restart your computer.
8. One clear indication of virus removal of W32/Mariofev.worm is that you will no longer receive any alerts about the Patched User32 virus.
