Ok I have some kind of virus or somethin,again  When I first turn on my comp. I get an error messege saying somethin like "windows registry is unstable or curupt" or somethin like that. And I get a "Help And Support Center" icon and "Windows Update" icon on my desktop and they will reappear if I delete them. I cannot access My Computer,control panel,jus about everything. My computer runs really slow too. Also There are thousands and thousands of temp files in my My Documents and Temp folders and I cant delete them either. I have Hijack This,Bullet Proof Software Spyware and Adware remover,and I just got McAfee Virus Scan Plus, none of those things fix the problem. Can someone please help me fix this problem? |

Get Registry Mechanic here:
http://www.pctools.com/downloads/rminstall.exe
Use the following name and code:
License Name: Giovanni Arocho
License Code: BFDF-D4A4-6FE8-58A9-534C-7BB2-111C-C93B
Run "Scan your registry" and let it find all the problems. Then click on repair and it will fix them. That should fix you up but if not, if you have your XP disc run sfc.exe -- click start, then run and paste the following in the run box and click ok: scannow /sfc
It will ask for your cd to replace all system files that have been lost or corrupted, usually .dll files. Windows will be in the same condition as when it was first installed but nothing else will be changed/lost. |

As far as all those temp files go, sounds like they are locked (in use) by either spyware or some sort of trojan. Get Killbox here:
http://killbox.net/downloads/KillBox.exe
Find the folder(s) where all these temp files are and tell Killbox to delete them. It will try and if it can't it will ask you if you want to delete them on reboot. Click yes and reboot. Then update and run every spyware and antivirus you have back to back. |

Well none of that helped Brad. I used the Reg Scan and it found 800+ errors and it said it deleted/fixed them all,but I still have the same problems. When I used the KillBox it would delete the temp files but when I reboot they just reinstall themselves. I guess my best bet would to just completly wipe everything out and start from scrath? Would I be able to save all my programs to a disc then reinstall them after I reinstall Windows? And if I do reinstall Windows will it be like a brand new comp,no more virus?
I goggled the error message im getting on startup and I found a few forums where ppl were having the same problem. The virus was called Vund something? It had some instructions on how to remove it but it seemed very complicated and I wouldnt know where to begin. I was hoping there would be a program i could just run and it fix it automaticlly,guess not tho. |

Fug. It looks like a reformat is in order. Try to save as much data as possible. |

You can also try reverting your hard drive back a couple of days(XP Pro comes with this feature but I'm not sure about plain XP) and a flash of your bios. |
