    not sure when i got it but about 3 days ago i downloaded norton and ran it it got rid of some of the trojan it noticed vondu as well as xpanti.malware something like that, but i noticed it was still redirecting google.com links. so i ran MS malware removal tool as well as spybot S&D and it got rid of some stuff. then i ran a program to give me back my desktop tab as well as re-enabeling ctrl alt delete. eventually it seemed to go away aside from running slower. well until i went to login today and it will restart me as soon as i logon in windows. i read the readme before posting thing but i cant even log on in safemode to run any of the programs.

    is it too late to fix? i have files i'd like to keep so i dont want to reinstall my OS unless i have to. and im not sure i could find the disc anyway. so any help? and if i need to reinstall my OS how would i go about getting a new reboot disc? im running windows xp media center edition 2005.

    I have moved your thread to the software forum. You will need to get your system to boot in order for us to do any malware removal, and without an OS cd, you are in trouble.

    If you do or can get a cd, you could try doing this:
    Here is the link to the MS article How to recover from a corrupt registry.
