Does the Windows splash screen show up? If it does, but doesn't load the login screen, and, if you are using Windows XP Home, the desktop, there might be a virus.

Yes there was a virus and we tried everything to get rid of it. I was trying to save our data but we ended up reinstalling a couple of times and we ended up losing all our data, but thanks.

Hi Tawanda, please note that I am only helping the moderators and experts here, and will not be participating in fixing your computer(as I'm still under training and am prone to making errors).

http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en...HiJackThis.exe to a permanent folder such as My Documents.

After the download is complete, navigate to the folder where you have saved HijackThis.exe .

1) Double click on HijackThis to open the tool.
2) Close all other open windows and click on "Do a system scan and save a logfile".
3) After the scan is complete, please copy and paste your log here.

Thank you
