Backdoor.sheldor - Trojan horse

[JamesB]

I have the virus referenced above.  Everytime I start my computer I receive the error message "E47150: Incorrect MPEG data format."  I have Windows ME.  When I try to boot into safe mode or normal mode nothing comes on the desk top, and there are no items in the task manager.  I have no functionality.  Is there any way to bypass the boot routine so that I can get to the command prompt?

You can put in a boot disk and get to the command prompt that way but the safe mode options screen should provide an option to boot to prompt.

Thanks.  But, there are only 4 options in the when I press F8 at startup and none are to start in "Safe Mode with command prompt only" and (silly me) I lost the boot disk.  Any ideas where I can download from?

I think Mac has a link to a site with bootdisk downloads.  Look for any post of his and the link will be at the bottom.
