First try system restore in safe mode if you cant do it when it boots up or wipe it and do a fresh install m8.................

You may have to download a bootable virus checker from avg or avast and see if that will sort the problem.

and infect the other system if the virus scan don't pick it up lol.

Do you have malwarebytes installed ?

EDIT - If you do have mbam installed try running the file attached it will re-name mbam and try to run it :)

Thanks for help but nothing works so far, I have only just been able to connect to internet, running xp pro on pc,system boots up ok but slowly, I cannot seem to start up in safe mode, system restore will not function, cannot use any existing AV or run any new AV, cannot open work xl files & office bring up error I have no other pc available to run mine as a slave off of to clean HD. I know I can reload xp but I would make that the last resort as it involves approx 12 hours of data tranfer, I was hoping someone would have a more technical solution:bawling:
