[QUOTE="thebrainthatwouldnotdie, post: 104670, member: 5841"] OK, this post for those with the AFP virus where method 1 2 or 3 (as described by by Stelian Pilici in his great post titled "Remove Australian Federal Police virus (Ukash Scam)") did not work. So.. -you can't boot into safe mode with command prompt -you cant boot into safe mode with networking -the kickstart usb method does not work Method 4 Restart the computer, and start the 'Recovery Consol'. For me this is availble by pressing f12 during start up, and also by pressing f8 there is also a link to the options menu that lists recovery consol If you cannot access recovery consol from there, insert the windows disk into the CD and select the 'repair windows using recovery consol' option at the first options screen. After selecting the recovery consol, you are asked to select the install to log into, and then you should get a command prompt. Now you can manually restore the registry to an earlier point in time. For the instructions go here: http://www.faultwire.com/solutions/using_system_restore_xp.php#RepairBoot and select "Manually Restore Registry via a Restore Point " Follow those instructions exactly. You might be able to reboot into your OS now, I could not and had to take a second step using rsturi.exe to complete the process. To do this: Reboot your machine and press F8 then select "SafeMode with command prompt" This time your system will (hopefully) reboot and give you the command prompt with the safe mode OS running in the background. Now follow the balance of Stelian Pilici instructions from "Method 2: Restore Windows to a previous state using System Restore" OK, I hope this gets you out of the muck. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
