opens and collapses immediately. Also, the Ctrl-Alt-Delete, the Windows
Task Manager window opens for awhile and collapses immediately.
Terry said:You are right about the virus. The Microsoft Malicious Tool detected it
but could not clean everything - 598 files infected.
The problem is it wont allow me to install any antivirus and even when I
rename the files, the AVG antivirus cannot be installed. It also stops any
installation from the external CD ROM
What can I do ? Please advise.
Thank you.
