Hello Lori,

Here's the applicable link to get rid of the latest virus you mentioned:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.sdbot.b.htm
l

for the tftp2016 message, try clicking start, then run, then type in
msconfig and click OK. Click the Startup tab and look for the reference to
that file in the list and uncheck it so it isn't trying to start, its not a
file that Windows needs to start with.

Re your setup error..hm. I assume your D drive is your CD ROM drive, if the
disk can't be read, it may be worth a try to make a folder on your computer
and copy the contents of the CD into that folder, then try running setup
from there. You may ultimately need to get another CD if we can't read the
files from it. Alternatively, if you have System Restore enabled, you could
restore the system to an earlier date before your problems started.

hope this helps and good luck!

Mike
