Angry spyware on startup
I am having trouble removing spyware. When my computer boots, I get a message stating that I have spyware and my computer reboots. I tried to install antivirus but message still appears and keeps rebooting. How do I clean my machine.My computer is a desktop with XP Home Edition.

Thanks

John

Will it start in safe mode?
Can you run an Anti-virus program from safe mode?

I can run an antivirus in safe mode, but it will not remove in safe mode. Any suggestions.

Thank you

Hi if you cannot boot to normal mode because of the Spyware and you Pc keeps on rebooting.
You either download a spyware program to Cd on another system and see if you can run that on your system to clean the spyware or reinstall your operating system.
