Trying to salvage my nephew's business pc. His daughter used it when hers went down and got it loaded with viruses. One is Spyware Guard
among several I believe. A new user named "minada" was added. I can
not run scan disc or regedit or delete some files. I can not install
a fix, I get a message "The system Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". I get this message even in Safe Mode. I
tried renaming the file and it still won't allow it. The user I'm
logged in under has administrative permission. I was able to delete
the new user added.
I got it so it will boot up using Hard Drive Regenerator. It fixed a
bad segment on the hard drive which must have contained the boot info.
McAfee has been scanning since Thursday evening and it still scanning
C:\documents and settings and has quarantined 6,331 files so far.
It is a Dell Dimension 8400 pc with XP Professional Service pack 3.
Probably quicker - and for sure, surer - to reinstall XP. I trust a back up is already in place.
