    I wasnt sure where to post it but i guess its some virus so i posted here.
    The situation is more or less like this:

    My friend lately discovored that he cant move/copy/paste/select any icon on his computer and reset doesnt work. No antivirus/firewall wants to install because of some errors. No online scanners work either. He uses Windows XP media center sp2. Almost nothing works lol. Any advice how to help him ?

    If you can't install an Anti-virus or run a online scan, then the only choice you have is to slave the infected drive off a clean virus free and protected system, and then have the clean system run a scan on the infected drive.

    Option 2 is to format the drive and reinstall Windows.

    Hope this helps...

    Cheers :D
