I picked up a virus/malware this am . I ran a AVG scan and left for work when I got home it showed about 10+ hits. I asked it to deleat all infections ..It then wanted a reboot -I wanted to see what was infecting me so I told it to wait--I checked the log and Hit the reboot button on the computer[bad thing I guess]
anyway when it came up it just keeps looping into a reload mode and I cant break into it !
I cant access safe mode BUT I can get a curser if I go to windows instead of XP home. Is it possible to break into the thing by access theough the back door?
Is it possible to load a repair disc from This toshiba lap top VISTA and run the disc on the xp machine??[AVG-Malwarebytes etc]
Like many other posters Im angry enough to plop in the REload disc and wipe the thing out--If I could find the disc-GRrrr!
XP service pak 2 about 5 years old
I know your busy But thanks in advance--Randy

Thank you Jay!
I will study the info you have sent me.
I called the man who reloaded my puter and he gave me a code to type into Dos that allows me to go in the [back door] I did this and Im In YYEEaaay.
I reload all my work and be on the road to recovery in an hour .
What I found is that when he reloaded this machine he partitioned the HD and has a recovery system linked to it so if[when] a virus get you you can reload the system and totally wipe out the First parttition. all my photos and favorits stay put..
Neat feature --
Thank you guys for all you do saving us noobs from the world of the parisites who make virus.
