823021 2009-10-22 07:48:00 i'm typing this in Safe mode with networking, because i can't view the windows xp welcome screen that prompts me to enter XP.

I think i might've accidentally D/L a virus exe, as soon as i opened it, it went straight into the memory dump blue screen and it's been this way ever since.

I've run antivir and Norton 2010 and still no Luck.

running Win xp SP2.


Please help!:waughh::confused:

823022 2009-10-22 08:11:00 Get trojan remover / post a hjt log in safe mode / networking. Or I could check it with teamviewer remotely. You should only have ONE AV program Speedy Gonzales (78)
823023 2009-10-22 08:15:00 The Tojan remover says it needs REg Key as it has expired...? WestMclaren2004 (7303)
823024 2009-10-22 08:18:00 Well, if you want me to check it out from here, get teamviewer, install and run it. Send the ID and password to me in a PM. Is ccleaner installed? Speedy Gonzales (78)
823025 2009-10-22 08:57:00 Yes Ccleaner is installed. WestMclaren2004 (7303)

Most probably because you installed it previously.

Remove Norton for starters, then download MBAM from this direct link (www.malwarebytes.org) and perform a full scan.

Disable SR first(Right Click My Computer>Properties>System Restore tab>Disable SR on all drives)

823027 2009-10-22 09:22:00 why do i disable SR? wouldn't that limit my ability to go back to previous settings/checkpoints? WestMclaren2004 (7303)

The virus generally stays in SY. That's why you disable it.
