Hi Guys&Girls, Found this site by accident while looking for a solution,hoping someone can help becuase it's her business PC.

I found Win32/Patched ER on my wifes PC in the Virus Vault when updating my wifes PC
The PC is booting to the first screen then a second screen appears, the one says start Windows normally ,pressing enter gives no response the countdown continues,there is a quick flash of the Windows Start Up screen and the process begins again! It seemed o.k. after I had deleted it from the virus vault, ran scans with Malwarebytes & Super AntiSpyware they found nothing, the last thing she did was to install an Adobe reader update,then pressed restart!

p.s.she has AVG anti virus Free Edition 9 XP Pro

Wont let in to Safe Mode either! or in fact any mode keeps reverting to the above two screens.

Thanks in Advance........ Jim
