Windows XP Service Startup issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Seems like a virus... if you have partitions in your disk, or if you have different sessions profiles, you should try to get in through a different profile and make a scan but with one good antivirus... I use Kadpedsky and it get actualized every day... so it's powerful enough to clean anything... but I don't know if it will run to install it... seems like a huge problem...

	Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

	You may recall I had a rootkit issue about six months ago. It was a nightmare. I even fell into the trap of forcing my PC to start in safe mode- this particular virus had disabled safe mode altogether, which meant my computer wouldn't boot up at all. I wound up having to boot from my Windows XP disc and do all manner of things. It took three days, ten different programs, and some intensive manual tweaking to get things back to normal.

	It's possibly a rootkit (virus) that's attempting to take over those services. If it is, then you're stuffed - lots of apps claim to remove rootkits, but none of them do. You can try doing a system restore but that's unlikely to work either.
	What?

	A number of services have recently started timing out when my PC is booting up - the main ones are DHCP, Windows Audio and Themes. I've just run a full malware scan and removed a few things but it's still happening. The services start fine when you start them up manually but this is an inconvenience. Anyone else had this problem? Could it be related to profile size (i.e. taking too long to load)?
