Hello, Yesterday I was cleaning my computer and found a folder with an application. Stupid enough I click on it.My antivirus was active but it didnt help me because then it started:I was kicked out of windows desktop to windows logon page where my user account (only one on this computer) is asking for a password which was never set. What I ve tried since is this: http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/... everything went ok just to the point where I have graphical access to my user accounts but:( message say it cant find user accounts and I should reboot and try it again.Which I did and had the same result. Then I was at least able to run safe mode(I had blue error message screen before reinstaling xp) but again I can only get to the windows logon screen.But as well as my user account there is also administrator account asking for pw too. When I tried to run system restore I end up at the point where I´m asked for that administrator password. Since yesterday a read lot of stuff but nothing what really works. Please help me to save my data!!! I got Win Xp installatin Cd is there any help for me???

The safest way may be to install a second harddrive and install your OS to that drive while the original drive is disconnected. Once you have a working computer you can scan the other drive with your updated AV program. Without knowing what you may be infected with it is a crap shoot, whatever you do. Writing to the original drive could overwrite something. I suppose now isn't a good time to talk about the merits of backing up your data?

**I was kicked out of windows desktop to windows logon page where my user account (only one on this computer) is asking for a password which was never set.** Did you try just leaving the password blank and clicking enter? That usually works And you followed the instruction on: http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/... fully? I would retry that link you gave again, there may have been a small slip on your part.

You have no idea how much I regret that double click from yesterday.Lucky enough I backed some of most important files but it s far from being comfortable. I m thinking about putting this laptop drive in the desktop computer,is it same like what you have described above? Is it really my only option,isn´t there way for recovering current windows? Thank you

XpUser obviously I did try to leave that bloody line blank but as it is malware most obviously,it aint work! What kind of slip you mean? I get through windows reinstallation correctly then I did press shift+F10 during "installing devices" .I had command console poped out and the user accounts window.I thought I got it finally but then error message stopped it. It is working if you just cant remember your password not when you got this virus in!

I don't really know if a repair install would rectify things. It may be worth a try if you have an actual XP install Disc (not a restoration disc) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/... Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructionsPlease Post Results

I did that couple of times (read above) without success. Anyway when PC man will come tomoz morning I´m going to connect it as a slave to my desktop PC. Thanks for your input.
