    Hey guys,

    I have a problem. My boss used Spybot to remove viruses off his laptop. Spybot deleted all but one, stating it would remove it at reboot. It did, I assume, but it might have been a registry/startup file. Now, whenever I try to logon, I get to the "windows startup" sound but then it automatically logs me off.

    It can't be reformatted without getting all the data off it. There are important documents that need to be removed first. How would I go about it?

    You can try doing this:

    Here is the link to the MS article How to recover from a corrupt registry.

    If you need further assistance to be back to a stable system state, please post in the software forum as we cannot assist you with malware removal until you can boot up.
