Hi.
I have a strange problem, i have tried find any answer at Microsofts KB and
tried to Google, but still no clue. So i tought i try som forums and see if
someone knows.
I scaned a computer for adware, viruses and crap like that, i cleared the
adware stuff. But when i was about to scan for viruses i discovered that
Norton had not updated for a while, after a while i manged to download the
new patterns and ran a check. I found 10 files infected that Norton could not
deinfect, delete or put in quarantin. Oh well i tought, i know the names of
the files i need to delete, so rebooted the comp and went into safe mode. I
can´t remember the virus name, but i hade 3 processes running,
c:\windows\iexplore.exe, c:\windows\rundll32.exe and c:\windows\explore.exe.
I tought i´d delete them and then run another scan.
But this is where my problem appears. I can´t logon to the system anymore,
there are 4 local users plus administrator. All users, includning
administrator starts the login sequense and then after about 2 - 3 sec
"Saving settings" and then "Log out".
It dosen´t matter if i'm in safe mode or normal mode or any other mode.
I tried running a recovery console and delete the files, i copied them to a
separate folder first in case. Still the same problem.
Its a Windows XP Pro SP2.
Anyone here have a clue?
