System Fix - A virus/Malware/Randomware--BEWARE

This is a malware and not any program to fix your system. It connects to the internet and asks them to buy the product to fix all the fake system errors it provides.
symptoms:
1) The background turned to black.
2) The only two desktop icons left are "My Computer" and the "Recycle Bin".
3) The "Start" menu, "All Programs" and all the folders in "My computer" are completely empty.
4) A lot of message boxes appear on startup saying stuff like "Failed to save all the components for the file xxxxxxxxxx. The file is corrupted or unreadable.". Even if u close them, the same amount of messages appears at once after a couple of minutes.
5) A legit-looking program called "System Fix" appears on its own, pretends to scan the computer and detect a number of "Critical" errors with the hardware and software and also pretends to be able to fix some of them. Finally, it claims that it's a trial version and prompts the user to buy a full version to fix the rest.

Many of the solutions that were on the web dint work out except this one

It requires you to modify registry
. If you got any doubts ask in the comments.
