This one messed up my laptop good. It went into the "userinit.exe" and "taskmgr.exe". Now I can't even start with the boot disk, not can I boot from the XP cd. All it finds is A:
Is there any thing to do about it?

BTW: Death by bleading heamorrhoids to the person who made this virus!

Try Panda's removal tool for Parite B @
http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/. It has been very successful at repairing your problem. Take care and all the best!

Thinng is you see that my file system is NTSF so I
can't access the C drive to use the panda program.
Any idea what to do?

Have you tried to get into the bios to change the boot sequence to boot from CD first instead of the hard drive first?

Well, it wont do me any good. My XPP cd's gone bad. I can't boot from it any way.

I need a way to get the pandasoftware to run without having to load userinit.exe

With boot floppys I only get the A drive since the NTSF isn't supported.

??? What to do ???
