[quote][i]Originally posted by Sam[/i] I had this exact same issue with a customer's PC on Friday, it was caused by malware in part. What I had to do was get the XP disc and run Setup, choose the Recovery Console option and did chkdsk /p /r - this took about an hour on so on I think a 120GB hard drive IIRC. See here for details - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058 Next, get a USB stick and put the following free "portable" programs on it using another computer: - SuperAntiSpyware http://www.superantispyware.com - CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner Next, go into Safe Mode, log in to your normal profile and run SuperAntiSpyware from the USB stick and get it to scan the whole machine, I guarantee you will find malware relating to Security Tool and other similar shite when it's finished. Once that's cleaned up the malware, run CCleaner and get it to scan everything in the Cleaner tab, then when that's done click on the Registry tab and run that a few times until no issues come up. Finally, reboot into normal Windows and everything will be working OK again. :cool: [/quote]
