    Thanks,
    I spotted that. No cure bar a fresh install it seems?

    You could try booting in to safe mode and removing any troubling applications that way (I think it's F8 on startup).

    If you still get a bluescreen I'd suggest trying a repair install (on condition you still have your XP disk, which does have it's uses!)

    if you take the hard drive out and put it into a caddy and attach to another pc and run Malwarebytes this might get rid of the virus
    i have used this method to get rid of those tricky viruses
    or at least you will be able to back up your files

    I cant get into safe mode, and if i put the drive into another PC then i wont be able to access its registry through regedit?
    Will that approach find and get rid of the virus?
