    I have followed all of the steps in the malware removal guide only to be stopped at the Recovery Console section of the ComboFix tutorial. My specific problem is this: to install the Recovery Console from my Win. XP CD, I'm told to type "d:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons" in Start\Run. However when I do that, I get a message saying that the version of XP I have installed is newer than what is on the CD. This is true because the CD I have only has service pack 1 on it and since then I've upgraded to service pack 3. If anyone else has had this issue and or knows what to do to proceed with the ComboFix tutorial, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Follow the instructions given like you do not have a CD and download the files from Microsoft for WinXP SP2 ( you will see this as you read the procedures) You are only installing the Recovery Console not all of Windows so this will work okay.
