In cleaning up my computer, I recently discovered a virus known as the Win32.Randex
virus. I searched for it on Symantec's database, and they gave several different
variants (Randex.Q, Randex.A, etc), however, Norton Antivirus 2002 on my computer
did not indicate that it was any of those particular variants, only Win32.Randex.
Anyway, it did detect it as a virus, but I was unable to quarantine it and it gave
me the option of deleting the file that is infected (winregservices.exe). However,
I am unsure of the use of this particular file, if it is vital to running Windows
XP or something within it, so I'm afraid of deleting the file. If anybody could answer
whether this file is important or not, in particular if I should delete it, I would
appreciate it. Thank you.
