Answer 2

You should try using MSCONFIG in Windows XP to disable some of the unnecessary programs that automatically load on start-up. Disabling these programs will help your computer boot faster and crash less.

1. In Windows XP, go to Start > Run



2. Type MSCONFIG in the "Open:" box and then either press enter on your keyboard or click on the OK button.



3. This launches Microsoft's System Configuration Utility. Click on the Startup tab (the tab at the far right).



4. This takes you to a page with a list of "startup items." Startup items are programs that are automatically loaded every time you turn on your computer. Some startup programs are absolutely necessary, others are simply a waste of RAM.



Remember, disable only those programs that you recognize and don't need to have running all the time. When in doubt, leave it on.

5. Click on the OK button.

6. A message will pop up telling you that you must restart your computer before these changes will take effect. Click on "Yes" and your computer will automatically reboot.



7. That's it! Your computer should now boot faster and crash less.

If an antivirus program will not clean the virus you will need to roll back you PC to a previous restore point. If you need help with this send me a message asking.

Answer 5

It never ceases to amaze me that the first thing people do after being infected is use system restore. You don't get the concept of system restore, do you? It restores your system to the last day a restore point was created and, guess what, the virus is back. If you have an antivirus program use it in safe mode. If you can't start your computer in safe mode, reinstall windows.

Answer 8

XP Antivirus Pro or XP Antivirus Pro 2010 they are the same with different names. It uses false scan results and fake security warnings in order to scare you into purchasing this bogus software. It says your PC is being hacked and infected by virus and you need to pay for their software in order to remove those virus or spywares.



Once XP Antivirus Pro is loaded into your system, it copies many instance of itself to different locations inside your system and edit your Registry to allow it to launch itself. It will starts up itself even if you boot up using Safe Mode and it blocks you from launching any other software.



To remove XP Antivirus Pro, follow these steps:

1. Step 1

Open Notepad and copy the follow block of code and save it on your desktop, name it as exefix.reg. NOTE: when you save, make sure you choose Save As Type: All Files



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.exe\shell\open\command]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\secfile\shell\open\command]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\shell\open\command]



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]

@="exefile"

"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"



[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\secfile]

Step 2

Double click the exefix.reg from your desktop to open it, it will import those keys into your registry to fix the bad ones that XP Antivirus Pro had modified.

Step 3

Download Malwarebytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org to do a scan

Step 4

After you install the Malwarebytes antimalware program, make sure you click on the Update tab to update the latest virus definitions first. Then you can do a quick scan and it should take about 15 minutes.

Step 5

After Malwarebytes finishes scanning, follow the screen instructions to remove the infected entries and reboot your PC to clean the remainings.
