One of these common virus is "Hacked by Godzilla Virus" which normally spreads through portable drives etc.

My system got infected with this Hacked by Godzilla Virus and I repaired my system without the help of any antivirus software.

Lets first discuss the common symptoms of the Godzilla Virus.

If your system is infected by this virus you will see the this text "Hacked by Godzilla Virus" in the title at the top of the window of Internet explorer

Some other symptoms:

1. Task manager is disabled.

2. Regedit (Command for registry edit) is disabled.

3. Folder options got disappeared From windows explorer.

4. Double clicking on any of your system drive( c: ,d: etc) initiates a new instance of the virus.

So, you won’t be able to open any of your drive by double click rather you have to open then by right click >> explore.

5. msconfig command is disabled – this virus is not dependent on system startup but it disables the msconfig command used to modify the system startup programs.

    Thanks for your help

    After downloads(both progams);
    I had trouble to access HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
    Finally I simply pressed window + R keys simultaneously and opened regedit, where i found these foldes and than follow the instructions.

    I am actually free of this bastard message

    Wow so excited
    Thanks again

    I had Hacked by Godzilla on my internet but my brother took the computer and downloaded/installed Mozilla firefox. Now on the Mozilla internet I no longer see Hacked by Godzilla, is my computer fixed?

      @darryl – make sure u remove all the infections by godzilla virus – then your computer is fixed – or if you have followed our procedure properly then ur computer is fixed.

      The ‘Hacked by Godzilla’ banner is merely a symptom. It’s like the headache you get with flu. Take some ibuprofen and it goes away but the flu virus is still there and you’ll feel sick again tomorrow.
      It does sound promising but these worm files are invisible and if they are still there they will continue to infect any external drive you connect, so it may be best to assume that the virus is NOT fixed and follow the steps anyway.
