Hope I am doing this right and that someone can help me. (Windows XP Media Center 2002)
I am trying to remove a virus:
(C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\TDSSserv.sys)
(HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TDSSserv)
As per what I read on the forums, I should use SDfix in Safe Mode to remove the virus.
My problem is the following: When I tap F8 and then select safe mode, the screen shows all the drivers loading and then it brings me back to the safe mode options. Whether I try safe mode in network or safe mode in command prompt it's all the same.
I tried running msconfig from run and the error message says it can not find msconfig.
I went in the bineries file and found msconfig.exe and tried to start in safe mode from there and when I booted up I was caught in a booting loop. Had to use Winternal Commander to restore so I could get back in.
Hope someone can help.
Thank you

If however this doesn't work. I do have an alternate method of removal for you.
