    Had this problem last night very nasty virus! I managed to sort it out on Xp Pro heres how. This info assumes you have windows 'System Restore' enabled
    1)Plug out your network cable.
    2) Restart your machine and as soon as the screen comes to life tap F8 repeatedly.
    3) Choose to start windows in safe mode.
    4) when you enter safe mode it will ask you if you want to use 'System Restore' choose Yes (in this case I think choosing no actually enables it).
    5 Restart your machine and as soon as the screen comes to life tap F8 repeatedly.
    6)Choose to start windows in safe mode.
    7)System restore pops up - choose to system restore.
    8)The machines restarts and you enter system restore.
    9) Choose a restore point 4/5 days back or more if your machine has been giving recent trouble.
    10) Machine now good.
    11) Use your virus scanner and have a good clean if needed.
    12) Open Internet Explorer and go to tools>Internet Options>Delete Cookies also delete 'Files'
    13) Plug in your network cable download Ad Aware free edition and clean off any garbage.
    14) Thank your lucky stars for a close shave. Say a prayer of thanks to gods and to me.

    Thanks Kmick, I used your solution and it worked for me. Everything seems ok now. Did you find anything odd or missing after a few days on your PC?

    Anyway, just thought that I would let you know that I found your solution helpful ;)
