let it start and then run your anti-virus programs to fix the virus that you have. Or you can go to http://www.trendmicro.com and run their free scanner to clean your system!

Haven't had this problem personally... but SP2 has been known to cause assorted problems for many people (but not all)... Still a search in google brought these possible solutions; the posters there seemed to have a problem similar to yours? http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-11... http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/for...
