    Default Kids computer has been infected

    Ran s&D last night and this morning said all was clear. My son rebooted the computer and we get to the welcome screen, input the password and immediately get logged off and sent back to the welcome screen. Don't know how to get to my scans to post information here. Any and all help would be greatly apprecited.

    I have tried booting my computer up in safe mode and that has not worked at all. It still is in a loop at the welcome window at startup.

    I am currently running this as you said. It may be abit before I can get back to this as I have to get the kids from school. So far everything is running without any errors showing up.
