[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1002134, member: 78686"] It can remove startup entries and registry entries, but it has to be associated with the malware. For example: if malware.exe is added into startup and this malware.exe is known to MD then it will delete this malware as well as the startup entries, scheduled tasks and some other registry entries related to this file. Anyway, MD is not really a cleanup tool. For that, you'll have to look at Kaspersky, Norton Power eraser, Malwarebytes, etc. But MD has a better removal engine than some other products, for example F-Secure. [/QUOTE]
