I have a question for all of you.

Recently, one of my clients brought in a computer to have
cleaned up. They had Spyware and Viruses (Netsky). I
cleaned them off and got the pc working great.

I then sent the PC back to them and they connected to the
network fine; meaning they could get out to the internet
and browse the network.

The problem is this: One the XP machine I try to log in
and it comes up with the error System could not log you
on .... user/pass/domain error. The domain, pass, and
username are all right. I have even tried to log in with
the domain admin with same error.

I log in to the pc with the local admin and try to unjoin
the domain and get the following error:

Computer name Changes
The following error occurred attempting to unjoin the
following domain "<our domain>":
The revision level is unknown

And also the users seem to have been lost from local XP
machine.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!! THANK YOU!!

Kevin
