Do this…..
First go to run/type msconfig/ then startup/ then uncheck anything that looks strange “if you are not sure what you are unchecking the google it just to be sure as some of them are necessary for xp to work.
Then after this you will need to do a restart, after restart a box will pop up make sure you check the little box in the right hand bottom corner as this will stop it keep on asking for a reboot.
This will hopefully stop it reloading all the time.
Then turn off system restore by going to start/right click on my computer/properties/system restore and turn off system restore.
Then do a restart as you are going to do a scan in safe mode, you can do this by rebooting and before the boot screen comes up keep pressing F8 repeaterly until you get a black screen with instructions on.
Choose safe mode and the computer will start to load in safe mode. When the process has happened which is about 30secs your desktop will look larger than normal, just open your antivirus program do a scan and see if that sorts it out.
Reboot and don’t forget to turn on system restore again.
This should sort it out.
P.S. I should print this out if I were you just to be sure you do not get lost :O)
i have kaspersky 2! it works tho. go 2 a computer store and ask them. best buy’s geek squad is gr8.
You can try avast anti virus its very nice
Check Out trendmicro.com…
they have a free online scan called House Call. It checks for more than just viruses…worms, spyware, trojans.
Clamwin…. type it in on google….i have used this for many years and never had so much as a sniff of a virus
kaspersky is one of the best what makes u think its not effective and that free sht will do better … like avg that is a joke!!!! …if anything give nod32 a shot … if this is still not effective ….sell ur comp….
AVG and Avast work well for my laptop at home and my computer at work.
AVG is great from http://www.grisoft.com/ freeware and also try http://www.softpedia.com for freeware software
Try AVG free. It has worked well for me.http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1/
do not go to a computer store because they will tell you that norton and mcafee are the best but they aren’t kaspersky is the best. it may be a spyware downlaod ad aware 2007 free and zonealarm antispyware try both of them if this didnot work format your hard disk
try avira anti rirus search it its the best download the free one or buy a version FREE 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!
