    It has been sometime since Ive required your wonderful services, here I am once again. XP Pro SP3 Dell. i have had scour redirect and various other problems. I have ads playing in the background and music that is also not mine, and just now, as I begin to load a movie with netflix, my iexplorer closes the window. I tried using Kaspersky tdds killer, I ran it a while ago, got a log, but it did nothing. now it wont even run, even with the rename. I went throught the read and run me guide, once again, and have my logs. I did run into some problems with running, and for some restarts, or power downs, not sure, i get a message that says the restore point is corrupted and tells me to delete it, I do and the recovery console and windows startup screen appears. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks YOu.

    Do you have your XP boot CD? If not:

    This is a download of an .iso file of just the Recovery Console for XP.
    Burn to CD with Nero or other 'disc image' capable tool and boot.

    XP Recovery Console.

    You can use ImageBurn to create the disc.

    Boot to the bios after creating the disc, and change the boot order to CD/DVD as first boot device. Then insert the CD and reboot. Once you are in the Recovery Console, type:
    then exit. Reboot to normal mode and re-run MBRCheck and attach the new log.

    I work midnights and was trying to attach my second set of logs but i fell asleep. I cant find my root repeal log, do I need that log? I do not have recovery discs, I have the xp recovery console installed. When booting up, it asks if id like to boot into that, or XP. DO i still need to make a boot disc?
    Thanks!

    I have nero, roxio, and Im sure a couple others, but I dloaded imageburn, burnt the cd, and changed the boot order. It booted from disc and began running the program, it runs for about 4 minutes or maybe a lil less, and the blue screen with a warning about shutting down windows. So i turn it off, and restart. Another weird symptom, when I restart, I put in my password and my background appears but not icons. So i start Task Manager, run explorer.exe, and then run another instance of the same. the first uses 22000+ and the second uses about 4,000, I then cancel the first instance and my desktop finally appears. Not sure if that helps. I have also included a screen shot of the blue screen. ONCE AGAIN, thank you much

    That's exactly what I am doing, I am trying my best for you anyway. :)

    Well obviously that did not work.
    You need to make sure you reboot, as stated:
    So try again. Bear in mind this warning.

    Please be warned that you would be wise to back up any important data before proceeding with the next step of attempting to fix your MBR.

    Sorry its taken so long, I just obtained the abilities by way of a portable hd (needed a Tb or so). I have all of my files saved. I reboot, go to bios, change the order, insert cd, reboot and after loading the files, it begins to start windows, or so it says, and then I get blue stop screen. should I take a pic? The last thing on the screen amongst the technical errors is "pci.sys". Should I use the recovery console that is already installed? Or should I wipe the hd? I do have all of my files saved...but in all my years I've always managed to not have to reformat. Thank you once again

    Please make a post in the software forum, explaining that we are trying to fix your MBR, but that you are having problems with Blue screens of death which is preventing you from making progress. Then you can come back here afterwards.

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista or Windows7) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

    Tell me if the redirects have ceased. They should have!

    Thank you so much. I will be out of state for a few days, and away from the comp. I will do this as soon as I get back...
