Greetings to all !!! :D

I'm curently using Windows Xp pro with SP2 on a pentium 4 with 80 gig hd and 256 ddr Ram sound blaster and Radeon 700x pro card it's a new putter only 6 months.Me and the kids use it to play online games.
I was using Avast free 3 months virus scan demo and was looking for a new one :rolleyes:
So i DL McAfee free demo and that is when the troubled started :( . Every times the welcome window finish teh putter shuts down .
Atm I was able to go in safe mode and I did a virus check and looked for any remenance of old virus scan and I restarted.......more troubles I was only able to go in Last known working confg settings ,witch i did and looked again for virus and old scaner did a disc clean up using xp accessories and did a defrag and restarted .
More problems after the welcome windows the computer shut down again so I tried safe mode and putter shuts down , tried last known working config same happend .
Maybe i should of mention at first that im a NooB when it comes to putter and im not even sure if it's a scan conflict or simply a virus that I cought playng beta testers with out any proper protection :eek: In either cases could someone please help . How could i get rid of all virus scan using C promp safe mode at a NooB level and some ways to make sure it wasn't a virus that started all this mess b4 i restart again :mad: .

Thank you for your attention

what i would do is completely uninstall both of your virus scanner and then install the one you want to use on its own. the main issue with using two virus scanners is that it tends to cause a major load on the cpu, also both of the scanners will start picking up eachother's activity and may start generating alerts.
always stick to one virus scanner; also bear in mind that its better to use a full version of a virus scanner, there's a few free ones out there but im not familiar with them because i use norton antivirus
 
when your computer is booting, just after the point where your system is running through it startup where it displays the amount of ram you have etc press F8 and you should get a menu, you need to select start in safe mode
 
Yes i know how to get to safe mode but the problem is that Safe mode get my putter to shut down also ;-/
