So another user of the desktop here at home clicked somethign they shouldnt have when browsing the internet and so as usual I was going to install a few programs to take them out, however it wouldnt allow me to boot into safe mode. (i figured it was the spyware.
so then i used a sata to usb converter and connected it to my mac running parallels. used windows xp to use the programs, malwarebytes anti malware and then super antispyware professional. It found stuff after both, i quarantined them and then plugged everything back up.
first boot, tried to load using safe mode, would just restart. second boot, allowed it to go to windows xp (normal boot), it would go to a user login screen (how ever there is no password nor multiple users), clicked the username and it would say loading, and then it cancelled and says logging off.
I really dont know what to do now?
I know malwarebytes picked up a Rootkit.Agent but thats about all i know. I am trying the windows xp repair disk but its asking for a password to administrator. when there was no password to the only username on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also reformat is not an option as there are some programs that do not allow a second install even with the same serial number.
