I've had this virus/malware for few weeks now and every time i scan my PC with malwarebytes, it says it removes it. When i scan it again few days later, its still there. My antivirus doesn't even detect it. Its in the registry and it is annoying the crap out of me. If i remove it manually from the registry, can it stop some other programs from working?

Here is what it is:
Registry Keys Infected:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Apocalypse (Backdoor.IRCBot)
 
create a system restore point before you remove this registry entry and see what happens

don't you have running process(es) which shouldn't have to be run atm? if you find something suspicious, terminate it or if you can't do that for some reason (the process is restarting time after time), you can quarantine it with security task manager (but be careful with this tool, you won't be able to run processes which is quarantined) and after you quarantined it, scan your comp & remove the infection with some kind of antispyware tool, such as spyware doctor

Thanks. And no, I don't. There is nothing running that shouldn't be running. I guess I will create a restore point and see what I can do.. and if I screw it up, I will just restore.
 
Ok, I went into the registry and removed it completely. Restarted my computer and its there again.. .wtf?

Believe me they are unbelievable, and its free. They say if your satisfied you can donate , but you dont have to. system restores and shit dont work for these types of viruses /trojans, this definetly works
