amvo.exe has affected a lot of users. But here comes the good news! You can clean it yourself. Here is what you need to do: 1. Run msconfig in the Start Up Tab you can find the amvo.exe or its variants. Remove all occurrence of the name from regedit. Reboot the System. 2. Reboot and do the following changes to the Registry using regedit HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer searchidden en 1 HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer searchsystemdirs en 1 HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced hidden en 1 HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced showsuperhiden en 1 HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced superhiden en 1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvancedFolderHiddenNOHIDDEN CheckedValue 1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvancedFolderHiddenNOHIDDEN DefaultValue 1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvancedFolderHiddenSHOWALL CheckedValue 1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvancedFolderHiddenSHOWALL DefaultValue 1 HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer NoDriveTypeAutoRun 0×00000091 (145) – OR – Reboot into a different OS and do the following. 3. From all the drives delete the autorun.inf using command line (if on windows) or from a linux OS. Do not open the drive from the explorer as it would spread the virus again to this OS. If you have linux installed and can access all partitions on the disk, go delete the files and clear the trash on all drives. 4. Reboot the system. Do necessary changes as in Step 2, if you have not done those. 5. nstall a good antivirus update it. Prevent Autorun from USBs. (To disable Autoplay of all drives. Goto: Start Run gpedit.msc Enable : Computer Configuration Administrative Templates System Turn Off Autoplay). Hope this works for you.
