Hi.
My computer got spywares and while trying to get rid of them on SAFE MODE, my computer went nuts. I did not let me get into safemode. So, after asking around I tried a REPAIR, which also put me in the same place, stuck on boot. Then my only option was a parallel XP installation. I did and it worked fine, but now I cannot get into the internet as before and I suspect that whichever spyware was giving me trouble before it still blocking my internet access. I did install XP on a new folder, different partition but same drive letter C:
My question is: If I use a spyware removal, will it remove from the partition the older installation as well or only in the new one ? As I said, everything is in the C:
Thanks.

Are you able to ping any addresses on the internet? Looks like you might just have a browser hi-jack. After installing XP, were you ever able to get on the internet?

can you get into the other partition? Can you back up your data?

you would be beset to wipe the C:\ drive and do a clena install and that will give you a clean installation!

There is nothing in your log apart from these two entries, you will also need XpSp2 to stop infections once you connect to the internet or you'll get slammed!


you can fix these!
