    My AVG Resident Shield was spamming me yesterday with viruses found in my System 32 and and Eexplorer files. I restarted it and now it when the login screen should display, it goes black and the computer restarts itself. I can't access Safe Mode and nothing seems to be working. I don't have the XP installation disk.

    Is there anything I can do to fix it?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Do what I do. Connect the drive to an exxternal usb connector, remove and save all your data off of it. Then FDISk the hard drive and reload the OS. It is the only way to be safe. You can buy an external hard drive connector IDE or SATA just google and you find onlione at TigerDirect for $10 or local MicroCenter store carries then. This is a life saver!
