Restart to safe mode.

How to start your computer in safe mode

Because XP will not always show you hidden files and folders by default, Go to Start > Search and under "More advanced search options".
Make sure there is a check by "Search System Folders" and "Search hidden files and folders" and "Search system subfolders"

Next click on My Computer. Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

Now find and delete:

The C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\eber.exe file

Next navigate to the C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp folder. Open the Temp folder and go to Edit > Select All then Edit > Delete to delete the entire contents of the Temp folder.

Finally go to Control Panel > Internet Options. On the General tab under "Temporary Internet Files" Click "Delete Files". Put a check by "Delete Offline Content" and click OK.


Empty the Recycle Bin

Now click on the Tweak button in that same window. Under Scanning engine select Unload recognized processes during scanning and under Cleaning Engine select Let windows remove files in use at next reboot

Click proceed to save your settings.

Now to scan just click the Next button.

Install the program and launch it.

Before scanning press Online and Search for Updates .

Click Check for Problems and when the scan is finished let Spybot fix/remove all it finds marked in RED.

After follwing your steps to remove spyware, My computer will not load windows, at the welcome screen I click my name and it says 'loading personal settings', then it says 'logging off, saving settings'. The last thing I did was run adware and removed 280 objects. Does same thing in safe mode.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Had you already activated Windows?

You said it does the same thing in safe mode? That is safe mode only, not safe mode with networking, correct?

Have you tried last known good configuration?

[sebb2004]

That was safe mode and safe mode with networking. I think I got it fixed I booted from windows XP cd, and reinstalled windows and all updates and so far it is working fine. But I still don't know why it happened in the first place.
thanks very much for replying
