After you've done that, you should then remove the virus in its entirety by using a spyware / malware removal tool to scan through your PC, identify all the parts of the dropper.generic8 virus and remove them. This virus only has a few files & settings which a few anti-spyware programs will be able to remove in their entirety, which should free your PC from the grasp of this infection.

Proceeding the anti-spyware scan, you should also perform a registry repair.
