Question:
I am running Win XP with SP2 installed. My computer
has been running fine, but suddenly I am not seeing any devices in the device
manager. At the same time, my operation in Windows Explorer has become very
slow. I have tried System Restore, but this will not solve the issue.
Answer:
It would appear that you have acquired some
Malware on your system. Posted below is a link along with instructions for using
the tool.
This should help!
Download AproposFix from the link below to your desktop, but do NOT run the tool
after downloading:
http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/aproposfix.exe
Reboot your computer in Safe Mode, here's how:
1. Restart your system
2. Once you hear a beep during the startup, but before the Windows icon appears,
press the F8 key on your keyboard.
3. Additional options should now appear. Select the first option, which is "Run
Windows in Safe mode".
Once in Safe Mode, double click the prior downloaded aproposfix.exe file and unzip it to your
desktop. Open the aproposfix folder on your desktop and run: RunThis.bat. Follow
the onscreen prompts.
When the tool has finished, reboot your system to normal mode, and post the
entire contents of the log.txt file in the aproposfix folder.
