Windows XP

[vinodep]

I have a problem with my windows xp system. A few days back i recd a message on my computer that spyware detected on your computer warning win32 vitumond privacy remover detected on yourcomputer. m64 detected on your computer.

I am unable to proceed further. I have one admin login and that is affected. I tried installing new antivirus but unable to do so. I am unable to run spyware remover since it has to be run from admin login. Login using other logins (not admin) are fine but I am unable to browse and system hangs.

pls help

See if your default administrator account is working . At Windows log on enter username: administrator and no password .

There is a very good chance that you will be able to start your machine in Safe Mode with Networking. If so, get these two downloads and run them in this order. I you can get to safe mode but not network, then feed the pgms in via a thumbdrive, or some such.
