I think I may have been infected by a virus today. I was visiting a torrent site and a window popped up in Firefox and quickly disappeared again. Later I noticed a process running at 100%. I ran the NOD32 virus scan and halfway through, XP blue-screened and restarted. It now won't boot into XP, even in Safe mode.
I've now forgotten the exact name of the process.
It was something like GetAudioInfo.exe or GetSoundInfo.exe. I found it on Google at the time but didn't get to read about it because of the bluescreen. It definitely started with Get and ended with Info.exe. The middle word has something to do with audio or sound. I can't remember
The wildcard on Google doesn't work for filenames. Get*Info.exe for example.
My hard drive has two partitions on it. XP and Vista. Vista won't load either.
I put in the XP CD and booted up the machine. On the screen where it asks you what partition you want to install to, it has:
C: Partition1 [Unknown]
F: Partition2 (Vista) [NTFS]
So that suggests to me that the XP partition is corrupted.
Any recommendations on what I should do next? Is there any good software that can analyze and repair the partitions? Anything I can run from CD at boot up? I have backups of my data from last week but I've tons of programs and settings on XP that I don't want to loose.
Thanks
