Windows XP Home.
Trend Micro pc-cillin.
Symtom: Each attempt to logon (having multiple users, with and without
passwords) shows the desktop image (nothing else like start bar) then
immediately logs out.
More info:
I had done a Windows update, and this started after the reboot. I
restored to before the update and the problem still persisted. I did a
system repair and that was OK. I installed XP SP3 and the problem
returned. I restored to before SP3 and still had the problem. Then
restored forward to after SP3.
I can reboot in SAFE mode without the problem. I ran MalwareBytes and
found ForceStartMenuLogoff as "Hijack.StartMenu", but I think that issue
is not related.
Starting SAFE mode without networking results in IExplore.exe running
hard -- actually starting over and over. I can rename IExplore.exe and
it quits, then rename it back and it does not restart.
I have been trying other virus and malware scanners, but have not had
any luck.
Any appreciation is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
