Re: Trojan/Browsela/Looksky

Dave,

I cannot get into safe mode with command prompt, so I ran SmitRem.exe in
normal mode. Then I ran part 2 (Secured2K'....) and it appeared to work and
I gained back control of my homepage etc.

Tried again to reboot via F8 and still cannot get in Safe mode or safe mode
with command prompt. The safe mode appears in blue on the bottom left of the
screen by on top it only allows proceeding with "normal window statrt up". Am
I still infected? Or is this a fault/feature of Window XP 2002 home SP2?

I appraciate your further advice....and thank you for helping me fix
(apparently) the problem, Much appreciated.
