startup problems

[RZ]

I need help. Some type of adware took over my laptop and now when I start up
XP pro, Vista Anti-virus 2008 loads and scans and then wants me to purchase
and when I hit the start button only limited programs are available. I
started in safe mode and I cannot get to the run button to get msconfig to
check startup programs. Any suggestions?

1st maybe run microsoft malicious software removal utility

If it still persist,as with xp,boot to xp cd,recovery console,in
recovery,type:
Listsvc Locate & write down the unwanted service(s) that runs on start
up,once
thru,exit,typeisable In Disable,the wizard will guide you thru,type in
the service
that you wrote down.Once thru,type:Fixboot Type:CHKDSK C: /p Type:EXIT
Let vista start up.These are xp & most all windows cmds,should be ok in
vista...
