use ur XP CD to repair it C:\chkdsk /r then install a good antivirus program. i'd recommend avg or bitdefender which u can download 4 free then scan for the virus Alternatively, run the windows restore under accessories, system tools restore as far back as u feel comfy with i.e a week b4 d virus effects started than get an antivirus prog and scan thoroughly |

SOrry oh!, Seems it's time you leave microsh*t - Try and explore MACs and other linux distributions, SUSE is good. |

Hi alexis, I'm sorry about the virus issue. If its the virus i'm suspecting i.e a trojan-gen, the run disappears and the virus duplicates the internet explorer icon on your desktop and start up menu. you must first install an antivirus. AVG home edition is good, but i use avast home edition. its free and can be downloaded from www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html www.download.com/Avast-Home-Edition/3000-2239_4-10375520.html . When installing, don't install to the default location which is the c drive. The virus has a way of destroying some vital files there so the antivirus wont work properly. Create a folder on the desk top and install to the folder. Then scan. After that, use the windows cd and repair your system as follows C:\chkdsk /r Restoring your system may not solve the problem cos the virus also blocks that. After restoring and the system reboots, the system would tell you that the restore operation could not work. So restoring may be out of it. You may have to manually delete the duplicated internet explorer icon from the desktop and start menu. You may also have to manually change your internet explorer home page as follows: open the internet explorer page, click on tools, internet options, and under home page, click on "use blank". It you are in the IT dept, from your system, scan all the computers on your network. If your company runs on a unix or linux server, the virus won't affect the server. Wish you the best and hope this does not affect your job |
