None of the guidance to remove the personal antivirus trojan workd for me. It
now does not connect to the internet, does not activate network connections-
so I can not download anything to remove it. Trying to remove XP, in Safe
mode, as Administrator, the add/remove only gave XP SP3 which I removed. That
did not remove XP. Now it does not even show Windows XP - so I cant remove
it. I tried to do it through commnad prompt by cd\; cd\windows\system32;
"osuninst.exe" that brought a message "can not uninstall XP as there is not
complete registration information". I tried to boot the PC with the XP CD but
I dont seem to be able to boot it with it. I need some step by step help,
please. Many thanks

Hi,
I understand from what you say is that you want to get rid of your current
installation of XP 32-bit and get started with a new fresh one.
This is a 64-bit newsgroup and thus is not the right place for your question.
All that being said, if you are sure that your XP CD is Ok, your BIOS should
be set to boot first from the CD/DVD drive.
That way you would be able to start your installation from the XP CD, format
the partition where it is currently installed and proceed with the setup.
