Re: Malfunctioning of XP?

mc afee is an antivirus and not a
anti spyware, therefore you know
that you are in need of an anti virus.

i suggest spybot and spyware terminator.

afterwards, you will likely need to do
a repair install with your win setup cd
to repair / replace those system files that got corrupted. the repair install will
also delete the system restore points since
your the o.s. will basically be reset to
a genuine state.

as a tip: when you run the spywares, you
should turn off your antivirus temporarily...

Hi!
I have a problem with my XP, could you please help me out with this?

As soon as my comp is turned on, i get:

Unable to loacte file :C:\Windows\System\lsass.exe

I checked my friend's XP folders (system32 and system), and i found all

files in order. No lsass.exe was present in his system folder. So why

is it asking me? Besides,there was 1 extra file: 111.dat . I have

quarantined it using McAffe.

I also have spywares on my comp, and am unable to remove it:

1.> c:\Windows\system32\autorun3.exe

2. c:\documents and settings\guest\local settings\temporary internet

files\content.ie5\KYSEM4VO\setup[1].exe


I am aslo unable to:
1.Use Windows Task Manager. The dialogue box states:

"Task Manager Has been disabled by your administrator"

2. I am unable to change the view options in my folders.

3. The "RUN" in the startup menu is missing.

Looking forward to a sppedy response.
Thank you.
