From my experience being an electronics/computer AV geek in and out of my field of work. there is so much dangerous software out there even with the capibility of removing malware from the registry, some of the trojans going around these days are so complex and difficult to remove and simply edit out, it's just easier to backup and start fresh. Put in disc, click, click, done... reinstall flash player, and chrome, etc... Virus free. Sometimes starting from a blank slate is best, not only on the PC, but also in the grow room. Depending on how fuck up things can get.

"The hackers then used this information to take over the victims’ bank accounts and make unauthorized transfers of thousands of dollars at a time, often routing the funds to other accounts controlled by a network of money mules. Many of the U.S. money mules were recruited from overseas. They created bank accounts using fake documents and phony names. Once the money was in their accounts, the mules could either wire it back to their bosses in Eastern Europe, or turn it into cash and smuggle it out of the country. For their work, they were paid a commission.[20]....Symantec Browser Protection can prevent "some infection attempts"[9] but it remains unclear if modern antivirus software is effective at preventing all of its variants from taking root."
