i've done all and clicked on XP_VirusAlert_Repair, but nothing seems to be happening. Don't know if it is because coomputer slow or what. I assume that the Microsoft Installer is supposed to pop up.
Also, i have a shield in the bottom right hand corner (near clock) telling me i have an update to microsoft waiting to be installed - when i click on it it is a malicious update from micro.
i can pull up task manager now and "dsc.exe" keeps reoccuring (over 155 processes in total now) and cpu usage at 100% - thinking it is drain power so the xp virusalert repair cannot run
now we have over 200 processes up, deleted one of the dsc.exe and it dropped down to 85 total processes but they keep coming
Then please fix this entry, too:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DellSupportCenter] "C:\Program Files\Dell Support Center\bin\sprtcmd.exe" /P DellSupportCenter
Reboot to normal mode and tell me if it helped that you can now run XP_VirusAlert_Repair.
If that doesn't help, maybe other entry needs to be fixed, too.
