oem: e-machine el-1600
os: xp home sp3
found that cause seems to be C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Application Data\Yfbievid\fedeenk.exe witch has multiple instances that is spikeing the cpu, able to close out in processes tab in task manager but re-occurs
unable to delete file
unable to boot to safe mode
clean boot seems to work, but file remains enabled even after disableing all start up items
attempted to edit file out of registry after create restore point
unable to change permissions on folder to make it not read only
file listed in single user account attempted to delete user account, succedded but process re-appeaered
ran a spybot scan after updateding, no change
unable to delete file after booting to another os on a live cd
booted to recovery console unable to access documents and settings
ran check disk, no change
conclusions
with being unable to delete the file and unbale to boot to safemode, along w/unable to access windows update, and the auto update and firewall constantly turning off it would appear i am almost out of ideas except for nukeing the install
so does any one know what else i might be able to try?
