I noticed Avast is not on (and will not turn on or update) in safe mode with networking. Is this normal? It works fine in normal boot. XP SP3
My problem is this, and I think it may be related to this topic:
I had a nasty virus that took over my computer. It infected Java (Java agents ZW, ZX, ZY, ZZ, DJ, and variants of Jade) as well as other (Win32-Renosa-J, FakeAlert-BLQ, Konar, Lukicsel-E). I followed steps to remove it, and everything seems fine except...
I am unable to log into Administrator - except in safe mode. The other profile "MAIN" has admin privileges, but in a normal boot I am never offered another profile to log into. I try "switch users," and only MAIN is offered. When I log into Administrator in safe mode with networking, Avast is turned off and won't turn on. Is it normal for Avast to turn off in safe mode? If not, then I assume the Administrator profile has been hijacked. Anyway, I wasn't able to load updates, but I ran a full scan anyway. Nothing came up, but not all files could be scanned.
Avast and Malwarebytes are currently running clean on the MAIN profile in normal boot.
Any help would be appreciated.
