Solve : Friend Cant Login After rogue removal?

1.	Solve : Friend Cant Login After rogue removal?
Answer» Ok so my friend was talking to me about how he got some rogue, "System antivirus 2010" i believe, anyway he said he ran MBAM and it didn't REMOVE it and he couldn't download SAS. He then ran a McAffe scan (Yes he knows McAffe sucks, and of coarse it did not see anything wrong with the computer), but McAffe shows like changes in the registry or something..so he went and rather wrecklessly deleted a few keys. Now when he tries to Login, he GETS to the welcome screen and then it LOGS him back out. I went over and checked it out, couldnt fix it. He is running windows XP Pro SP3 Any ideas???MBAM will address that trojan, so I don't know what your friend did. And you are correct - McAfee is terrible and I don't know what that did either. Can he boot to safe mode?nah safe mode gets the same result1) Download and run a boot time av scanner 2) Do a repair install of XP If the above two steps don't solve the problem you MAY need to do a clean reinstall.
