| subject: | XP and Viruses question |
I am working on my sister's PC. It most certainly has a virus and/or some other trojan process running. It is an XP machine. I know that I can use an XP CD to boot from, to run things like CHKDSK, etc., but is there a way to boot with a CD to do a virus scan/clean on the HD? The machine does not appear stable enough at this point to run anything while logged on. I think whatever is done will need to be done by booting from an alternate source. I have tried going into Safe Mode, but whatever it is that has it infected appears to have block any access in that manner. I get a BSOD every time. I guess it still lets it boot "Normal" so that it can continue to control the PC.
