I'm not sure where to post this, it applies to many forums:
Windows XP/SP3 (fully updated)
was working on windows phone problem
got the "Disk Antivirus Professional" virus
I immediately disconnected my ethernet cable
and went to TASK MANAGER and started deleting all suspicious services
I errantly deleted a svhost file and it went into shutdown mode
upon reboot I got a black screen with only the mouse cursor, which moves fine.
I tried to reinstall windows XP from OEM disk, went through entire procedure
Still boots to black screen w/cursor
tried safe mode = black screen w/ cursos & safe mode in corners
finally got to safe mode with command prompt (but still no screen)
From cmd; regedit - I cannot find any of the files that are associated with "Disk Antivirus Professional" - ie "random.exe", etc.
I've searched all I can about this and cannot find a fix.
Someone please point me in the right direction.
I still have cmd up on the computer, I'm afraid to close it again.
HELP?!
