If you’re experiencing problems with your computer, it might be because of a virus. Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to fixing this problem, as the virus will vary depending on the type of computer and operating system you’re using. However, there are a few things you can do to help fix the problem and get your machine back up and running. First, try restarting your computer. This is usually the first step people take when they experience problems with their computer, and it’s usually effective in fixing most issues. If restarting your computer doesn’t work, try restoring your system files from a backup. This will restore all of the important files on your computer so that you can start from scratch if necessary. If neither of these solutions work, it might be time to call in a professional. A virus can cause serious damage to your computer, and it’s best to have someone else take a look at it before anything else happens. ..

Fixing the Fake UPS Tracking Nmber Virus
When your PC reboots again, hit the F8 key right before Windows starts so you can access the boot options, and then choose Safe Mode.
Once it starts up into Safe Mode, open the Run box and type in shell:startup to get straight to the startup folder, and then delete the file named raryp32.exe from the folder.
You should be able to reboot your machine at this point, and get back into your system. Make sure to run a full virus scan at this point! If you don’t have an anti-virus application, we recommend the free Microsoft Security Essentials.
Note: These are the steps that worked for us on a test machine here at the office. Viruses change over time, so the same steps may not work for you.
