I have this laptop that I think has a virus. Here are the symptons.

 

Windows XP home

 

When you login too ANY account "windows Explorer" doesnt run.

No networking is running.

I can NOT end any process that is running (with taskmanager).

The computer has been renamed to "Folder".

I can NOT run Norton that is on the system.

I CAN run regedit but that is it.

 

What can I do beside reformat??? I need the data off this system.

If we knew what virus you are infected with we could help you remove it. Try to make a list of all the tasks running in task manager and post is.
