Reboot Error

I was working on my friends computer tonight because she
had a virus. It was a version of the Agobot worm and She
has Windows 2000 as an operating system. I followed
procedures that I found on the web to remove the virus,
and it appeared that everything went smoothly, I then
discovered that she had 18 critical updates to install,
so we downloaded and installed them, followed by
rebooting the computer; however, immidiately following
this the computer would simply not start properly, it
would get to a certain screen during the start up
sequence and simply reboot itself, and this process will
not stop, it simply keeps rebooting before it even
reaches the desktop, I'm completely lost on this one,
does this have something to do with the BIOS settings? or
should we start by trying to run the computer off the
Windows 2000 disk? I would appreciate any incite.
Thank You,
Jeff Wilson
 
Hi its Jeff again,
after reading the board I realized that this problem
sounds exactly the same as Nics down below (e-mail address removed)
 
Yep. I have the same problem. Finally, my solution is to re-install my
win2000.
Microsoft is suck.
 
Yes. Having a working Anti-virus software, a firewall and a fully
patched operating system will preclude having to perform those
undesirerable tasks.
 
Jeff,
This is little consolation, however I have
experienced the same issue after I downloaded and
installed the latest windows updates from the Microsoft
site ........ my system was not affected by a virus.

I was able to rectify the problem by utilising the windows
repair option after booting from the win2k CD.

Good luck !

Brian
