restart in safemode. im running xp sp2 i was pressing f8 while starting
didn't work... the scan found nothing on the system..??? i already have ad
aware and do regular scans. i don't dl crap of the net i don't know how i
got it. when i did my first scan with AVG antivirus said that the file
hijackthis.exe was infected. that file was from a trusted source for fixing
malware and the like. mayb a false negative? why do i have 2 turn sytem
restore off? it said that the restore points would b deleted so i opted not
2. the scan with sysclean said that access was denied to alot of files with
diffent extensions. since then i have created a admin user then changed my
user 2 limited. and was planning 2 use the admin user 4 office type stuff
and my limited 4 everything else. was this the rite thing 2 do? thanx for
