Re: [Trojan] Cant even login to windows

If you have a clean computer to work from, try d/l'g some tools and get started on pre-clean.

If not interested..we can move this to MS Help if you require reformat assistance.

If you cannot boot to even safe mode..there's more involved here

I would try pressing F8 for the MS Windows boot menu - select the "Last Known working configuration".

If that works to get the system to allow you to login, try downloading Wallpaper Hijack Remover from here: »www.majorgeeks.com/Wallpaper_Hij···816.html .

What it will do is allow you to restore the missing tabs so you can change the background wallpaper.

Note: This will not fix the underlying problem however..

Also, if the wallpaper looks similar to this: »Security Cleanup FAQ »Screenshots of Desktop Hijack it could possibly be smitfraud or some other nasty.

Re: [Trojan] Cant even login to windows

nothing happens as i continuously pound the F8 , at every phase of windows startup, from when it does mem check to detecting drives, to the dual boot menu, all the way to windows logon screen.

i'll have to try the floppy boots sometime later this evening.

I have a windows Xp cd , will that work? or will that just send me to the reformat/reinstall windows xp screen?

Re: [Trojan] Cant even login to windows

Am I right in assuming you're using GRUB/LiLo/etc. for your boot manager?

If so, is it installed into the MBR, or, into the Boot Record of the partition you have Linux installed into?

If installed into the Boot Record of your Linux partition, you can boot off your XP CD, load the Recovery Console, and use DISKPART to change the boot ("Active") partition to your XP one. At that point, you should be able to F8-> Safe Mode.

Seems at this point there is not much else to do but reformat.
If you can't get in even through F8 then I say your screwed.
I hope your not one of those people that keep all this stuff on the hard drive.
