hi all im having a bit of a large problem shamefully, borrowed brother's laptop with XP, surfed the net yesterday and the laptop blue screen'd and restarted.
avg suprisingly was not working and no other signs of antimalware/spybot programs which puts the icing on the cake!
after that i knew something was up, started windows as i get a error along the lines of "dgrdgfklgjfdgfj.exe could not be started.
literally.. it is a error with jargon named exe.
installed avast, restart pc, explorer then stops working, tried malwarebytes but i thought i'd need to attack this virus from safe mode.
attempt a safe mode boot and just loads a fair few files and goes black and does the dreaded boot loop.
now just earlier i tried booting normally and now i get stuck after you enter password to access xp user account.
i have a xp disc but wont let me do recovery console, i heard i can burn a recovery console onto disc and use that to boot and fix files (i hope) but i thought i'd come here first before i screw up any worse!!!. think ive done the worst though haha!
If you gurus can help out with words of wisdom then I would be extremely greatful!!!
I really dont want to format this as i will be in the big trouble.
cheers
