My Computer has so many problems
My computer has so many problems and I've looked around on the internet and I've managed to fix some of them.
I know that I have a few viruses on my computer, but I can't get rid of them, in one case I think I have one on my iPod "boot.exe" and I can't get rid of it. All of the antivirus programs I've tried either don't pick it up or can't scan my iPod.
Den I have "copy.exe" which I don't know how to fix either.
Task manager and regedit were disabled, but I fixed that, but I still don't have the start>run option and my windows xp skin has disappeared and has opted for the outdated 95/98 skin.
My folder options is also disbled, and I tried a reg fix which I found on the internet but it doesn't work!
My other computer had the same symptoms, except I also had a problem with the process "lsass.exe" and I nothing was fixed. I tried a few antiviruses here too, but they would get rid of the virus, but it would immediately come back.
Den after a while, my computer would boot up and would get to the "logon on screen", but it was all black and all I could see was my mouse and my keyboard didn't do anything. This was the case in safe mode too.
So I managed to reinstall windows XP pro by hooking my hard drive up to another computer, since my disc drives had a problem reading the boot CS, and it started working...
So I shut down, put the hard drive back on the other computer and now when it gets to the boot screen, it restarts. I tried to hook it up to the other computer I used to install windows XP and the same thing happens. I also tried to install XP again, but the when I use the boot CD it won't read my hard drive. And I have a lot of valuable information on that hard drive so formatting is not an option.
I think I might have a problem with the booting sequence, cause I had a program called Boot Skin which changes the picture on the boot screen, but I don't know how to get rid of it.
I also suspect I got the virus from my friend when I gave him my iPod, cause I don't have internet on either of these computers.
PLEASE HELP ME! I haven't used my computer for almost a month and I need it for school and what not. Thanks in advance.
P.S.
This is the hijackthis log from the computer which does actually load should it help...
By the way this computer, is only used for music production and there's a folder on my iPod call ".spotlight-v100" ]. I don't know what it is and I can't get rid of it.
