Guest CmosDriver Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I have run into the ExAcT same problem w/2 machines recently after cleaning malware off of them. BOTH were totally loaded with malware, trojans and SypCraP. After scanning and deleting a friend's computer with Adaware, I then scanned it w/Spybot. It also found a bunch of mess and of course, wasn't able to delete everything until rebooting. After restarting the Dell (behemoth) Demension 4500, I attempted to log into the same account that I used before restarting. - - - - Once i clicked onto the account, it >briefly< attempted to login and then after about 2-3 seconds... it was logging me >OFF<. I didn't even get to see the desktop it happened so fast. I tried all 5 accounts and got the same results everytime. Same thing happened in "safe mode" and "last known good". - - - - I have NeVeR run across this before, this is a new one to me. NOW... Just a few days later, I have run into the exact same thing. It happens to be a Dell Dimension 3000. The same thing occured after cleaning it with Registry Booster and Registry Mechanic. Booster found a bunch and Mechanic found the rest. I restarted it after using both and once again... After clicking onto a account it showed the desktop w/o any icons for about 5 seconds and then ProCeeDeD to log me off ProMptly!! - - - I've been using these programs on my machine routinely for years along w/other machines that I have successfully cleaned and returned, so I'm really not thinking that utilizing them together on these other machines is the fault. (but i could be wrong) Is there anyone out there that knows a FiX for this?? Is this the "New Thing" that the >bad people< have created to give Windows a brand new headache??? AnY & ALL assistance and suggestions are MoRe than WeLCoMe!!! THANX N ADVANCE, Cmos Driver

Guest CmosDriver Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 RE: >I Logon & Get LoGGed OFF< I returned to read your reply too late. I had already wiped the HD clean and >attempted< to install XP. I wasn't successful though, now I have a brand new dilemma to struggle with. I appreciate your help never-the-less. Maybe you could assist me w/the new mess that I have created. I posted it in "Performance and Maintenance". I'm going to keep your post for future reference just in case. I'm about positive I will run into that problem again. Wayne B.
