1.	Solve : advanced xp defender virus has locked up my system..totally..can't open anything?
Answer» I'm using windows xp i think it's sp3 , can't even check that..it won't open up! its a dell inspiron 6000. Advanced xp defender popped up and all WENT downhill from there... Question is..do i just REFORMAT? i've dusted off my op system disks and am prepared to do so...i can't even do HIGHJACK this log..i tried from another PUTER with a disk. sad part is..i'm in a RURAL area with no high speed...boy, am i out of luck or what? i think i'll just wipe it all out!!! i'm doomed! what do u think?
