>I Logon & Get LoGGed OFF<

[CmosDriver]

I have run into the ExAcT same problem w/2 machines recently after cleaning
malware off of them. BOTH were totally loaded with malware, trojans and
SypCraP. After scanning and deleting a friend's computer with Adaware, I then
scanned it w/Spybot. It also found a bunch of mess and of course, wasn't able
to delete everything until rebooting. After restarting the Dell (behemoth)
Demension 4500, I attempted to log into the same account that I used before
restarting. - - - - Once i clicked onto the account, it >briefly< attempted
to login and then after about 2-3 seconds... it was logging me >OFF<. I
didn't even get to see the desktop it happened so fast. I tried all 5
accounts and got the same
results everytime. Same thing happened in "safe mode" and "last known good".
- - - -
I have NeVeR run across this before, this is a new one to me. NOW... Just a
few days later, I have run into the exact same thing. It happens to be a Dell
Dimension 3000. The same thing occured after cleaning it with Registry
Booster and Registry Mechanic. Booster found a bunch and Mechanic found the
rest. I restarted it after using both and once again... After clicking onto a
account it showed the desktop w/o any icons for about 5 seconds and then
ProCeeDeD to log me off ProMptly!! - - - I've been using these programs on my
machine routinely for years along w/other machines that I have successfully
cleaned and returned, so I'm really not thinking that utilizing them together
on these other machines is the fault. (but i could be wrong)

Is there anyone out there that knows a FiX for this?? Is this the "New
Thing" that the >bad people< have created to give Windows a brand new
headache???

AnY & ALL assistance and suggestions are MoRe than WeLCoMe!!!

THANX N ADVANCE,

I returned to read your reply too late. I had already wiped the HD
clean and >attempted< to install XP. I wasn't successful though, now
I have a brand new dilemma to struggle with. I appreciate your help
never-the-less. Maybe you could assist me w/the new mess that I have created.
I posted it in "Performance and Maintenance". I'm going to keep your post for
future reference just in case. I'm about positive I will run into that
problem again.
