    Accidentally deleted HKEY_Current_User\Software. How to fix?


    I've recently did a full scan with my anti virus (smadav) and it found 2 'virus' called HKEY_Current_User\Software\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    and
    HKEY_Current_User\Software\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    I've deleted it and upon further research I found out that it's supposed to be kept!

    Are there any possible way to restore it? (have not backed up the computer yet)

    Perform a system restore to a restore point before you deleted the key.

    The registry isn't listed as a program/driver that will be restored. Is that normal?
