I got a strange virus, need help

[SMGSterlin]

Well i tried a system restore under my second user to a couple weeks ago, and was able to get into comp now.
So new question. It seems to be gone, so should i worry about hunting it down to see if it is somehow still lingering?
This was what i had.

Also how to get cmd propt in windows 7 to do a regedit?

Ah... THAT'S how I fixed it, I remember now. I initially tried to use Safe Mode and Malwarebytes, but that failed. Then I did a system restore to an earlier point and it solved it.

This was like 3-4 months ago I would say, maybe longer, and I never did any follow up removal, and I haven't seen any sign of the virus yet. So I would say you are most likely safe from the virus restarting itself, but I would do a thorough virus scan if I were you.


EDIT: I find it funny how your virus says pornography is illegal and can get you imprisoned for 2 years. xD
