My antivirus software has detected the virus Trojan Download.Wintrim.w at
C;windows\system32\ia.dll

It has cleaned it. But I am wondering if I have to reconfigure the "regedit" part or do anything else to fully clean it.

Hi

I believe this will help.

Kephyr calls it something different. Its part of an adult content dialer.

Ad-aware (spyware/dialer/trojan removal program) should be able to completely clean it too.
If you have that dialer...likely other baddies on there too.

Once installed; update it (globe icon)
Set it up for full scan.
Recommended to temporarily disable antivirus to prevent conflicts. Also recommend doing the scan while offline.
Click gear icon on top
Click scanning at left
Check all you can in there
Click tweak at left
Expand scanning engine
Have checked "unload recognized processes during scanning"
Expand cleaning engine
Have checked "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot"
Click proceed to save settings
Click start
Check use custom settings
Have checked "activate in-depth scan"
Click next to start the scan
When scan is done...click next
Right click in window
Select all
Click next
Yes at the prompt
Reboot when done
