[delphin460]

some of the programs like tweek xp or even spybot have features that can stop stuff like that being used ,

have you used anything like this , check and see

you wouldn't be in this situation if you were smart and didn't log in as admin all the time
you should never be logged in if you surf the internet etc etc

you wouldn't be in this situation if you were smart and didn't log in as admin all the time

wtf... how am i suppose to NOT sign in as an administrator...? why the hell would they (WINXP) stop letting me use administration shit just becauuse i signed in as the administrator all the time....

no
if you didn't catch this virus while you were admin, if wouldn't have ever done near the damage you are trying to fix
what I'm suggesting is don't log on as admin
it prevent any system wide problems like what you have
if you fix it or rather when you give up and reformat
don't make the same mistake twice

[Dray_04]

so is there no way to fix this?

if i sign in as a non-admin, then i wont be able get the things that i wanted to access anyway

I think that he means he has admin priveleges, not logged as admin. Most people think that if they have one user on the machine, they are admins. Get it right, you have ADMIN PRIVELEGES. You have to log on as ADMINISTRATOR to be THE admin

You shouldn't?
Sorry for those of us that don't know, can you tell me why?
Also, how can you prevent from being signed on like that?
