after avast found a virus in a file i sent it to the virus chest and next time i rebooted my pc it goes to windows logo and then password screen and after i enter password it goes directly to the windows shutting down window, which it then does. any idea what i can do?does same thing in safe mode also. i’ve got windows xp.
yikes, i’ve been there–more than once sadly. do you remember the name of the virus?
Without knowing more details about the infection, there isn’t much I can advise other then a repair ox XP.
