Y and the boot is on the way. My first idea was it’a a shit due to the address… No, it,s a redirect to Trend Micro site http://us.trendmicro.com/us/products/ but nothing to help me there.
I find this on Google
Trend-Chipaway is antivirus "protection" built into the system BIOS. This can trigger false virus alerts when it doesn't recognise the operating system that you have installed.It can be disabled by going into the BIOS.
Next locate the Virus Scanning feature. For machines with AMI BIOS, this is under the Advanced menu heading.
For machines with Award BIOS, check the Anti Virus Protection heading.Locate Trend ChipAway Virus or Anti-virus option and change or toggle its setting to Disable.
Without making any further configuration changes, save the new settings and restart the computer.
Finally, to properly protect your system from viruses, make sure that you have a good antivirus program installed on your computer and that you keep the signature files up to date.
Nothing is fool-proof! Without knowing if it a bad, a false or simple error of code I prefer to not change anything in the bios config whitout a verry good advise.
Menu Advanced option BIOS Update [Disabled]
Menu Boot option Boot Virus Detection is [Enabled].
Anyway at the end of the boot, after the start of Xp, Avast produce this Alarm.

Yes I am using Avast in the french language. Sorry for my poor syntax
I try many things to clear that. Scan and scan at the boottime, scan in safeboot, SmitFraudFix, ComboFix, SdFix. I am a user of Spybot and ASquare too.
I fell something was wrong with the Avast Rookit and induce me to make a bad move.

My boot.ini is starting Xp Pro by default after 30sec of waiting time.
[boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professionnel" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect C:\ = "Microsoft Windows"I never touch this file but my defaul start was Xp, not the win9. It is good or not?
I am a pc user, 4 years of self trainning.
Your help will be verry appreciate.
