    Defense Engineering

    Figure 6. Blocking the function registry windows

    2. To be able to run automatically when the computer is turned on, insert the string in the virus so that the registry will be active when entering the windows
            - HKLM, SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ policies \ Explorer \ Run, Task Manager
            - HKCU, Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer \ Run, Task Manager

    String registry file is called that is on a parent directory (see figure 7)
            = C: \ RECYCLER \ S-1-5-21-1202660629-412668190-725345543-500 \ smss.exe
