Worm Symptoms?

Hello!

Last night my XP Pro machine, hung up and I rebooted.
After logging in I began recieving an
“Windows explorer has encountered and error and needs to shut down”
message.
Avast will not start “RPC error”…
After I logged in as admin in safe mode I was able to due a scan, and
nothing was found!
Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

in SafeMode (F8-Boot), do

  • a scandisk/Harddisk Check with both extended options checked; note if any errors were found
  • defrag

then reboot normally and Apply all Windowsupdates
reboot, and try avast again

:wink:
