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.
Asked and answered in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
"With more than 6,000 infected files, a rebuild is the only safe
course of action for you."
However, if it is for business use, it may contain proprietary software and
data, which the user does not have access to to restore.
