HELP! ok my computer at home got incfected with antivirus xp 2010! Comp is acting weird on me!?
After i got malwarebytes and i scanned my comp several times it said it got rid of it. but everytime it gets rid of it, it says "malwarebytes must restart your computer for these changes to take effect" so i let it restart. but now, and here is the kicker for ya, my comp wont start up on anything BUT "last known good configuration". problem that is when the virus is still on my computer so its a never ending cycle. everytime i try to restart in safe mode or something related or "start windows normally" it goes into a cycle of restarting itself before the computer even gets to the login screen. on bootup it just restarts showing the same options for restart. and i am forced to choose "last known good configuration." Can someone help me with this plz!!!!

- Ok go into safe mode turn off "system Restore" then run malware bytes = your antivirus program. Go to folder options and click show hidden files, then go to Drive "C" (assuming thats your main drive) and look for a hidden file called Boot.ini and open it, make sure it only reads like this [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect Nothing else should be in there at all.
