Hi,
My computer was running Windows XP Professional without a login password. Then last 
week I tried to start up. It presented me with a login box. NOw I have never set 
any passwords so, although I thought it was strange, I just hit enter, leaving the 
password box empty. It logged me in but then immediately said "logging off" and returned 
me to the login screen.

I have had to install a copy of Windows XP Home (borrowed from a friend) to be able 
to get into the machine. That OS runs fine though I was immediately hit with the 
virus you mentioned here. I cleared that up tho and one other I found I had. Then 
I tried to log into the machine using XP Professional and it still presented me with 
the login box. What could it be?? Anyone heard of a virus that does this, and if 
so how can I clean it? The Home version I have of XP will expire in 28 days!

Much help needed and much thanks given!

Richard
