I don't see ther relation with either csharp or VB , why r u posting this

It does depend of the malware in question, download a very good utility to
monitoring the registry from sysinternals.com

Adding to the pile here.... if there were a published "Standard" for virus
writers, I assume everyone would simply make sure that part of the registry
was emptied before logging off each night.... then, we wouldn't need AV
software.
