Re: [XPAV infection?] Cannot log in to windows, nor safe mode
Thank you for your help,
Prior to reading your post, I booted into a command prompt with a windows cd. I renamed beep.sys in the windows/system32/drivers folder to .old. I then copied in a beep.sys from a known good system. I was then able to successfully boot into safe mode. The now beep.old was a 17KB file that was dated today at noon, the time of infection. The correct beep.sys is ~5KB
This is apparently a new strain of the XP Antivirus. I am now examining the system in safe mode prior to running the scans. I suspect those symptoms may start showing up with many others.
