Answer 1

Ultimately u will have to swap ur system. But for intial trament u can restore ur system to previous date. it may help u to get previous settings

Answer 2

There must b viruses that affected your doftware .exe files.

When u format ur PC then keep this in mind that, u must install the antivirus from a cd only i.e. free from virus, after that update it with the latest virus definitions, and only after that install watever u want.

Answer 3

You need to format c: drive and reinstalled WinXP. this is the last solution for your problem. if you asked this before install fresh there was a solution for avoid automattically restarting the pc. just need to run fxsasser.exe totally free removing tool from sites.

Answer 4

U have formated only the C: partition, and re installed XP again, but the viruses were still there in other drives like d: and etc.

  At this compromised situation if u are able to install antivirus and update it then, after haveing the latest update restart the computer in safe mode and run full scan, else if u dont wanna preserve ur data then completely format the pc (all the drives) then install XP and before installing anything else, install the antivirus and update it, make sure that the media from where ur installing the antivirus, does not contains any virus in it (pen drives r mostly infected with virus.).

    But if wanna preserve ur data then take ur HDD out and plug it into any other computer (as slave) which has no virus and the antivirus is installed and up to date.

      now scan entire HDD properly. I hope this helps, if not let me know i'll try to help u out.

Don't listen to these b***s, I have had the same problems that you have here. What I recommend is that you back up all of your important stuff, like pictures, videos, music, and Documents. Then start up from the XP CD and Format the C: Partition, if there is any other drives on your computer, before the xp boot, from cd, back those files up if needed, the Format the Whole entire Computer. then Install Windows XP on an NTFS Partition, and follow the usual steps in the installation, then when done, un pack all of your files, making sure they're still on the disc(s) so that incase this happens again, just write the newer files to the disc and format like I told you above. There is an application for Windows XP, Fix-it Utilities 7 or 8 Professional. in Google, type Vcom Fix-it Utilities.

The virus file is somewhere on your computer, first go start > search > click on search all files and folders and hidden folders > type in "virus" and all related words to virus (many people that create hacks, viruses etc make the file name have these words in it) > wait a couple of minutes for the results......if nothing comes up your going to have to do this the hardway, look through your whole c drive and delete any files that look suspicious or that you dont need anymore, If this doesnt work then your screwed or the problem isnt the viruses...tell me if it helped

Answer 11

did you do a clean wipe? I've had to format some hdds before I got the problems to go away.
