Answer 2

I would say to do a system restore to fix it, but you cant. A registry key probabbly went corrupt damaging the tool. If you have an HP try PC restore, its something like that, or re-install XP if the problem is realy that bad.

Answer 3

had same problem.a virus was attached. i couldnt restore or delete.had to reboot my system from start.it makes your computer like the day you got it.you lose all info in computer.if thats not it a restore point can only restore from when you made a change in your computer.use the calender and go back date by date till you see where you installed something and try from that point.if it will let you go back past the day you try.

C:\

then hit scan it will search all of the pc every file for virus or trojans and this will not have any problem with ur antivirus you have i have this my self .

then download spyware doctor that will search the pc for even more spyware adaware . just having 1 or 2 antispyware dont cut any ice at all you neeed what i said to download . when you have them run ur pc in safemode and scan the pc with then 1 at a time . this way from safemode the trojan and keylogger cant hide them self coz there is not internet access on in safe mode all the software i said to download will get the trojans and keylogger
