  1. I came about MagniPic by chance, and my scanner states that it is a trojan. I deleted the main file but couldnt find the others:
    %UserProfile%\
    %UserProfile%\Application Data\
    %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\MagniPic
    %AppData%\Local\[MagniPic].exe

    I also can't find these:
    HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\control panel present
    HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\restrictions present
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer: NoActiveDesktop = 1

    When I open my Registery Editor (Windows + R, and open regedit), I can only find HKEY but no HKLM... Any idea why?
    Thx!
