From: Richard Oliver on 20 Jan 2010 01:38 A friends computer running Win XP Home has been infected by numerous virus /malware etc. I have run several antivirus programs such as Trend Micro ,Antivir and Malware Bytes. The machine now appears to be clean but will not start in Safe mode,there is no Run mode nor msconfig available. There is a popup on startup looking for ryr.exe which a search on Google reveals as malware. I would appreciate some help in getting this system back in good order again. Regards,Richard
