Click to expand...

Start in safe mode (F8 during startup) and right click on the My computer
desktop icon, go to Properties, Advanced tab, then click Settings under
startup and restore section, and here deselect automatic reboot.
Then run AntiSpyware manually and do a full system scan (set this under
scan options).
 
If you cannot start in safe mode, the options are limited. You can do a
repair install from the original CD if you have a full OS CD, and not an OEM
"recovery" disk. You may need to talk to your PC vendor about this.

There is also the recovery console, but the availability of that also
depends on the type of original CD you have.

Microsoft Product Support staff help is free for issues of virus removal or
security patches.

In the U.S. or Canada, dial 1-866-pcsafety.

Elswhere, find the number for your local Microsoft subsidiary or PSS paid
help. The phone call may not be free, but the support will be. Ask for the
free support for virus or security issues.
 
Go here and download Stinger - boot with that and see if it can't help you
fix your problem.

That does work, and I 've got one handy, with Stinger on it. It isn't so
easy for the average person, unfortunately.
