Trojan Remover aids in the removal of Malware - Trojan Horses, Worms,
Adware, Spyware - when
standard anti-virus software either fails to detect them or fails to
effectively eliminate them. Standard antivirus programs are good at
detecting this Malware, but not always good at effectively removing it.
Trojan Remover is designed to work on Windows
98/ME/2000/XP/Vista.
The program is not compatible with any 64bit version of
Windows.
The majority of Virus and Trojan Scanners are well able to detect
malicious software - Trojan Horses, Internet Worms, Adware/Spyware etc.
- but are not always very efficient in removing them once they have
been triggered.
Trojan Remover is designed specifically to disable/remove Malware without
the user having to manually edit system files or the Registry. The
program also removes the additional system modifications some Malware
carries out which are ignored by standard antivirus and trojan scanners.
Trojan Remover scans ALL the files loaded at boot time for Adware,
Spyware, Remote Access
Trojans, Internet
Worms and other malware. Trojan Remover also checks to see if Windows
loads Files/Services which are hidden by Rootkit techniques and warns you if
it finds any.

This article describes how to copy user data from your
Windows XP profile to a new profile.
When you copy user data into a
new profile, the new profile becomes a near duplicate of the old profile, and
contains the same preferences, appearance, and documents as the old profile. If
your old profile is corrupted in some way, you can move the files and settings
from the corrupt profile to a new profile.
Note
The method that is described in this article may not transfer the
Outlook Express e-mail messages and address user data that are
associated with the user profile where you are transferring data from.
When you delete the old profile, you may delete that data if it you do
not first transfer it by using other methods. For more information

With
windows XP you may run into the issue were your user profile becomes
corrupt. Having a corrupted user profile is simple to fix if you
follow these simple steps.
The first thing we are going
to try is to do a system restore. You will not loose any work from
files you recently edited like word or excel. We are simply taking
your computer back in time a few days to try and resolve this issue.
Boot
into windows safe mode. To do this shut your computer down and then
right when you turn it back on start pressing the F8 key on the top of
your keyboard. Press it every other second until you get a dos like
screen. SAFE MODE. You may be asked what operating system you want to
start. You most likely will only see one. Just hit enter. When asked
to login select the administrator account. Now when you see a dialog
box pop up in the middle of the screen asking what you want to do
select NO. This will start the restore process for you. Once the
restore process has started you need to select the option RESTORE MY
COMPUTER TO AN EARLIER TIME and click next. Now pick a bold
highlighted date on the calendar and select next, select next one more
time.
Your computer is now restoring itself to an
earlier time. This will hopefully fix your corrupted User profile. I
would say it works 90 percent of the time. Once the process is done
your computer will automatically reboot.
If the did not work you can follow this to create a new profile and copy your old settings over.
You may need to login as the admin through safe mode.
