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.
Let’s see how you can remove Godzilla virus in 5 minutes.

Under Advance settings,
check “Show Hidden files and folders“,
uncheck “Hide extensions for known file types“,

Hi I already followed the instructions and I removed the “hacked by godzilla” virus from my account on my pc. But there is another account on the same pc that still has the virus, and I cant find the specific files that I have to delete because I already deleted them before, so my account can work.
@diab.91@hotmail.com - if you have followed the procedure properly there will be no virus but if you had missed anything in terms of deletion of files there virus may become active again.
Hi,
I don’t understand step 3. Where do I find this:
Browse to Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software \Microsoft \Windows \Current Version \Run and delete MS32DLL (right click on it and select delete)
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Internet Explorer \Main and delete “Window Title” which has it’s value of “Hacked by Godzilla“ or you can also write your name as a recognition for yourself.
when I try to use IE it says hacked by godzilla.
Can you help me. There was a lot of hard work in building my website. I dont want it gg down. Help please thanks.
@Jess - In step 3, you need to open open registry by pressing window+ r and navigate to.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software \Microsoft \Windows \Current Version \Run and delete MS32DLL
now navigate to the following path
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Internet Explorer \Main
and change the value in windows title or delete it….and follow the steps further
One problem, some anti virus software detects RRT infected with a Trojan!!
@Yohan Perera - Some anti virus reports unsigned programs as virus…but rrt is not a virus. You can read the policy from rrt homepage
Excellent. It really worked. Thanks.
