Thanks for your reply.
With the infected drive as D, I scanned with Symantec Antivirus 10, Spybot 1.5.2, and AdAware. Symantec found Trackware.Webhancer, and Adaware found Virtumonde; both of which they said they removed.
So, thinking that everything is now fixed, I put the hard drive back in as the system drive and booted from it. Windows XP was extremely slow to load, and when it did, I got 10-20 RUNDLL errors reading:
Code:
Error loading C:\DOCUMEN~1\"username"\LOCALS~1\Temp\dcfqpsfml.drv
The specified module could not be found.
This error also comes up if I try to open any application (Spybot install file, IE browser, etc) or try to access the desktop properties -- this happens in BOTH normal boot AND safe mode.
In addition, the task manager has been turned off -- and when the computer sits idle (as I've been typing this post on anther laptop), a "screensaver" of beetles eating the desktop comes on (not sure if this is related, but I've never seen it before).
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
