VirusRay Removal Step 4. Once your computer is in Safe
Mode you can proceed with the tools you prepared to remove VirusRay
from your computer in the previous step. Open your Control Panels and
double click on Add/Remove Programs. Once the Add/Remove window is open,
locate the VirusRay entry (they are in alphabetical order) and click
uninstall to remove VirusRay. If you do not find the VirusRay
removal entry it is possible that another anti-spyware program has already
removed it. If this is the case, continue to follow the remove VirusRay
tutorial to ensure a full removal.
Although
this removal seems surprisingly simple, appearances can be deceiving. Close the
Add/Remove window and close the Control Panels Window.
*note* The VirusRay program will still
be popping up those annoying alerts from your taskbar. This is normal. Continue
through the rest of the tutorial to complete the remove VirusRay tutorial.

Removal Step 5. Next, you are going to use one of the tools you downloaded.
Find the FixMC.reg file on your desktop and double click on it. Say "Yes" to any security warnings
that pop up. This file modifies your computer's registry. Once it is done working,
it should say that items have been successfully added to the registry.
Now we will use the second tool you downloaded. Locate the smitrem folder
on your desktop and double click on it to open it. Locate a file in the
folder named "runthis.bat" and double click on it to launch
it. Click "Yes" on any security warnings that pop up. This tool
will take a little time to remove VirusRay infection components. As
the VirusRay removal process works, it will periodically tell you
what it is doing. Follow the on-screen directions to move through the
smitrem tool. When it is done it will run a disk cleanup. This can take
anywhere from minutes to hours to run, so be patient and allow it to complete.
You are almost done with the remove VirusRay process! There is only
one step left to complete the tutorial. Please use the links below to
