    I have some stubborn Cydoor ads that I need to remove manually in safe mode but every time I boot into safe mode it gets to a black desktop screen and before anything loads or shows up the entire computer restarts!

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Had the same issue about 18 months ago and am trying to remember what I did to repair it. http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/redface.gif http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/redface.gif http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif


    Meanwhile, have you tried to eliminate the "items" in command prompt?

    I will rack my aging brain for the solution I found and get back with you ASAP. ( I hope.)http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

    I have remembered that it was some malware that I was successful in initially deleting part of.

    However I seem unable to remember exaclty which malware it was. I am leaning strongly toward EliteBar (it gave me fits for quite some time because my children kept downloading it before I installed Spyware Blaster). If it is EliteBar, you will need to install and then unistall the program via the program's website.

    Anyway, have you run any malware / spyware programs lately? If so, which ones.

    Spyware Blaster => http://http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2859

    I will keep thinking on this.

    I just remembered that the My Search bar was the other one that gave me fits as well. You have to install then uninstall it like mentioned in the last thread.


    I found out what my problem was through Norton WinDoctor and thus learned how to repair it.

    Please let me know what you did to fix the problem. Or, geek forbidhttp://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/wink.gif , otherwise.
