Unless you have specific instructions you shouldn't attempt to edit the registry. You have to run Regedit.exe to edit the registry. However, if you screw up you can Restore the Registry.

Who told you that?? There's usually a fix on an AV site. Another alternative would 
be to have an online scan at Trend Micro Housecall and choose to have any viruses 
found, cleaned.

You have to have specific instr. and can't just go deleting things in the registry. 
It sounds like you got very bad advice from someone.
